Wow! Just wow. This is the shortest 2 hours video I’ve watched on TH-cam. I couldn’t stop listening, especially the argument on AI. I bet you’ll never find any of the information here on any search engine including perplexity. Dr Chuck saved my career as a software engineer when I first started to learn programming by taking his python for everyone on Coursera. I was just at the point thinking I made a wrong career path from how python was being taught at my university but after completing that course, my whole idea about programming was changed for good. And here he is again defending programming against all these shallow minded AI agents. This man is a living legend in programming. Giving hope to the masses in programming.
Enrolling in Python for Everybody 7 years ago was beyond doubt the best decision of my life. Now that I am trying to gain some underatanding of the HFT industry which requires C/C++ proficiency, this course could not have come at a better time.
Thank you so much for breaking down the myths and complexities about programming that are often spread by companies, influencers, and CEOs. Your structured path to becoming a master programmer has helped me regain my confidence back and i wish to manifest the truth that after your class, a master programmer can take any millions of code and be able to navigate with ease I have a few questions, and I hope they don't sound too silly: 1>What math concepts are really necessary for programming? When I ask AI, it lists things like linear algebra, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics, especially for AI and computer science. 2>What are the steps, similar to your structured path for mastering programming, for contributing to open-source projects? As a beginner who hasn't been exposed to real-world projects or code, it's tough to know where to start or what to pick in open source. 3>How can we effectively market our programming skills to get hired by companies? 4>Can you recommend some good materials for learning HTML, Java, and JavaScript? I remember you mentioning in a TH-cam video to avoid courses that only touch on syntax, so I'm looking for solid resources to really learn these languages. 5> I wish to become a master programmer and a master ethical hacker. What is your suggestion and advice on the path to become a master ethical hacker I really appreciate your time and hope you can answer these questions. I'm a big fan of your work and love how you keep busting programming myths. Thanks again, and may God bless you.
I’ve stumbled across this and am very grateful . I recently moved away from nearly 20 years law enforcement, now work in digital forensics. I know programming and databases will help me a great deal . I tried Harvard’s CS50x as it was recommended. I have no back ground and I’m sure it’s a great course but it went from scratch to a deeply involved and confusing C . I had no idea what was happening, and the two hr lectures left my head swimming . I’m looking forward to starting your courses .
The CS50 team is very good but they do come from a CS perspective. Early CS courses are either intentionally or unintentionally filter courses to select for those with the skill to do well in CS. My courses are never designed as filter courses - my goal is to "welcome" people into computing and try to make them comfortable.
I took several of your courses (not Yet C) and i learned a lot and enjoyed them! If you are planning a future course i hope it will be "Rust for everybody", it would be great. Thanks for all!
Bonjour and 42 merci beaucoup from Paris and LeMans. Your Py4e is a game changer. May whatever you believe in or worship bless you. You are our human A.I for Awesome Instructor .
Somehow i found more insights when listening to you, because my background is kind of weird. I am 27, and i have master's degree in English language, but i have always been passionate about tech, and how things work. So i stumbled upon python, i learned good deal about it, but I felt like it was not enough because i want to dig deeper, but i was afreaid that i was trying to learn too much to the point i will not master anything. Your phrase "the objective is not to learn everything but to be able to learn anything" really shifted my understanding as a novice. Basically I have been programming for almost 2 years (Somehow by the grace of god i got accepted in an NLP master's degree) now in python, and i still wanna learn more. I will most definetely follow your guidance. Deeply appreciated ^^
Java was my first programming language in college (not a comp. sci. major), 4 quarters course was also heavy in computer science. That was my least favorite course ever (also the professor). It is sad that it killed my interest in programming at the time. Now I do lots of python scripting at my work thanks to Dr. Chuck ❤
I must express my gratitude to Dr. Chuck. His “Python 4 Everybody” series was the first programming course I watched, and it profoundly inspired me, helping me discover my true passion. After much reflection, I decided to seize the opportunity to change my career path. I resigned from my position as a branch manager at a bank on Bay Street in Toronto and enrolled at Western University to pursue a second Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the age of 36, despite already holding an MBA and a Bachelor’s degree. Now, as I enter my second year, I’ve completed some second-year courses and am on track to graduate within one year, finishing a program typically designed to be completed in four years. I am thrilled to be fully immersed in the field of computer science.
Hi Dr. Chuck, Just stopped by to subscribe, to watch a bit of your video while looking to save it to watch later, and to ask you this: How did it feel to be somewhat of a celebrity in India? Not that you aren't known in other countries but I'm guessing it must have been different in India given the humanity here. Plus there is this deep-rooted culture in India of really revering teachers, especially those who have helped you grow. Hope your channel and these live session videos blow up soon, and hope i get to meet you the next time you are here.
Hi Dr. Chuck, thanks for the educational content you produce and how this helps people in life changing ways. I am about to embark on some of your suggested path, probably looking at py4e, cc4e, django.. and would like to ask in your opinion where would one place a DSA course within this sequence, and do would you agree that it would be worth considering a DSA course at some point - if so, any recommendations for a course fitting this schema? Thank you!
Daniel, the CC4E course *is* a very basic Data Structures course that gives you a great foundation for a more rigorous and complete Data Structures course. You can take a DSA course any time after you take CC4E - for me I like to listen to myself and do whatever I am most interested at the time. So if you take CC4E and then another DSA class it is great - if you finish all the practical programming sequence and then do DSA that is great. The best outcome is when you are interested in learning it. So the answer to your question comes from you in the end :)
That is a great question. Short answer, "yes". I have always thought that entrepreneurs should have a good understanding of programming in order to be a good tech founder / leader. The path to the master programmer (when I finish it) will be the quickest way to get the good bits of a CS degree in 21 credits or 1000 hours.
@DrChuckPlus thank you so much for your reply! I was asking because my motivation of learning CS, is to find a niche area of opportunity, where a solo developer can produce something of technical value and sell it to companies, and stay away from B2C products that depend more on trends and fashion. Does this make sense at all? And thank you again for your work!
I am 57 years old, and currently residing in the United States. I have always dreamed of learning to program, but unfortunately, I never had the opportunity when I was younger. After watching some of your videos on TH-cam, I realized that it might still be possible for me to learn programming. Is it still possible to learn programming at my age and secure a job in this field, or is it too late to pursue this goal?
Since the master programmer program is still being developed. Do you have recommendations for supplementary courses while you’re completing your program?

Thanks for helping me learn python. It is still my go to language.
Love you Dr Chuck.

The quest is not to learn as many things as you can! The quest is indeed about learning the fundamental things.

Thank you so much, Dr. Chuck!! Would you recommend the same learning path if you want to become an entrepreneur?
That is a great question. Short answer, "yes". I have always thought that entrepreneurs should have a good understanding of programming in order to be a good tech founder / leader.

Hold up:Well how I m gonna learn those if the page require a code
He mentioned that the code is "42". You should've watched the damn video.
1:33:48 Dr. Chuck’s thoughts on AI.
Since the master programmer program is still being developed. Do you have recommendations for supplementary courses while you’re completing your program?
Is the courseera course also free professor?
Coursera charges for some aspects of the course. I keep it free on www.cc4e.com
Youre the best professor!
Professor i have a question:Should i learn first python or C?
Learn Python first. The CC4E course is about a *much* deeper understanding of Python.
@@ChuckSeverance but if i want to become a hacker what shoukd I know😅
