i’m 15 years old and honestly i think if i start learning how to become self taught now i might be prepared for whenever the day comes to apply in the future
Honestly starting early is the best thing you can do for yourself :) you're going to be way ahead compared to your peers! Feel free to check out my tutorial series 😊
@@CodewithVincenthello sir, I'm also a 15 years old student wanting to be a software engineering. I only have two questions, What course should i take? Should I go to BSIT, Computer Science or Direct to Software engineer. Also, I wanted to start learning how to code, what programming language should i learn first? Thank you
@@lorrainelauren9770Hi, I’m also a 15 year old like you and I had that question too. I would recommend getting into computer science because you can open a lot of opportunities in jobs with it. Like many good tech jobs require a computer science degree and you can also transition into another job if you’re unsatisfied with the current one.
@@lorrainelauren9770I m 17 atm and would highly recommend you to try harvards cs50 python, after that cs50 introduction to computer science. I think it will give you good structure for later (and you get a free certificate at the end of it). Python imo is the most friendly one but if you would like to make it your career one day, search up which planguage is mostly used in your country. Good luck!
Start interviewing early. Every failed interview is a free peer-review on different skill sets you have, allowing you to quickly see where you are lacking and where you can focus more of your study time on. Not only that, but you begin to connect with recruiters and people in the industry who may be able to point you in other directions more suited for your skillset at the time. Good luck :)
This video is perfect. Straight to the point and clear information. I also like that you added a checklist - in my opinion, its like a mini road map for us to follow. Thank you very much for this video.
ughh.... it's not easy to be a self-taught programmer it took me a year and a half to learn DJango and React, yet there's still so much to learn and that is exciting part. but you are right no structure of where to start and what path to take, like everyone else I started Python, then when I tried Javascript, to me they are both similar, that is the advantage of learning Python because once you get the hang of it you almost would certainly be able to understand under prog language. IF you don't wanna waste your time and get a job quickly just go learn Javascript, you can never go wrong.
Yeah definitely not easy, but the most important thing to do is to get the fundamentals down. Once you have that, you can branch out to different languages 🙏
Thank you Vincent. I took a tech bootcamp option for ux design, I enjoyed the structure but I agree, everything is self taught. Principles, Practice and Play/Work.
I am doing a master's right now but, not in computer science. Already a certified engineering technologist with experience with internships in engineering. From this video, I decided to go the self-taught route since I already have certifications and internships. I just need to fluff my resume with projects and added training/refreshers like bootcamp/ztm.
Thanks Vincent. This is helpful! One thing, let's say you've got basic/intermediate Python or JS knowledge. What kinds of projects should self-taught students start building to put in their portfolios? This is something that still seems very abstract to me as someone in that position. (I don't think PyGames are good portfolio pieces, but maybe I'm wrong!) Thanks!
Being self taught doesn't make you different in terms of projects. Pygames are good projects as well! The goal is to build stuff that can show off your skills to a potential employer. You can check out my other playlist as I walk you through projects and how to write a resume :)
Computer Science graduate, now a media buyer! 😅 I want to get back on track and become a SE. I feel like I need to start from scratch. this video really helpful! thank you
I have zero knowledge and zero experience in software engineering. I need this course to have a stable job and good income. So yeah, I will do self taught and follow the advice you gave. Thanks.
I'm done bootcamping/self thought and okay with html, css, react and node Js but I'm only going to use the Skill now to gather money and further more in a college.
Hello, I am 36 years old. Over a month I am very interested in coding. But I am, as you said in your video have zero experience in this field. After seeing your video I am excited to start, as you have motivated me. Currently I work as a Document Controller, with more than 10 years experience. But, you know after 36-40 nowhere to be hired as a document controller, cause most of the companies need young and female workers for this kind of jobs, honestly. Okay, I am motivated to start also I got free time to learn, let it take a year. But my question is - can I get a job, doesn't matter actually as a freelance or direct employee? This is the question, which I wonder. Thank you for great video.
Hey man, glad you found my video! Yes a lot of places have dropped the degree requirements. Hence, why people can get jobs from bootcamps / self-taught. Feel free to check out my coding bootcamp series to kick off your programming journey :)
IAM 15 years old i want to learn coding to become software engineer but because of some personal issues i want to learn it by myself online so 😅 yeah simply i want to become software engineer without going university or paying to any college or university 😊
You definitely know what are you talking about. Which direction of software engineering do you recommend to choose? I tried frontend, and I don't love it. Then I tried iOS development with Swift and i love it. But vacancies a lot more for web developers than iOS developers. And now I'm wondering which one to choose? Maybe choose Android development or backend with Java?
My recommendation is to do what you love. Stop switching roles based on some rumours you have heard about vacancies. If you like iOS, then go down that path. There are actually a lot of openings for iOS I know personally because I get reached out for positions all the time. Now it doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the whole stack of backend and frontend, it will definitely make you a stronger hire! Good luck :)
I've been counting the interviews that I'm failed, it's so painful.. I'm trying my best to get a front-end developer job, the fact of chatgpt has been released made me freakout totally and I'm a little distant of applying for jobs.. I decided to specialized to feel ready to apply jobs.
Hey the fact that you are getting interviews is a good sign! My advice would be to figure out what you need to work on in terms of interviewing. Whether it's a knowledge gap, nervousness, etc. Once you figure that out, just focus on improving that skill! Good luck :)
Awesome. Thank you for the list of things to learn for getting started. Do you have any references of things to learn to become the best? Like what is it that you still don't know, that you need to learn to become Google or Tesla skilled?
If you want to work at a Google or Tesla, I'd recommend focusing on interview prep, that's pretty much it. If you can pass their interviews you're hired! So focus on data structure and algorithm, that will train your thought process and make you better at problem solving
@@CodewithVincent hey what do you think about the job market now days? do you think it's still worth it? also I've never done coding, do you think at my late 20's it's okay to try to become a computer science? thanks for the reply btw
Any advice on "The Odin Project"? which seems what most people recommend, and many people do actually land a job once they complete it. I just lost my job and started with it (used to study Python long time ago and now I'm super rusty), also since I am based in the UK, seems like most Junior roles are mainly for "Javascript" and hardly any for Python, unless you go for Data Science route. Would love to hear your advise on this, do you think following your links (freecode route) is a better option and slightly quicker?
Hey; so I've personally never done Odin project so I can't advise there, but I did hear good things about it. In regards to this video, I recommend starting with python because it's super easy to pick up, and then you can transition to JavaScript later on. Honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what resource you use. What matters is which one makes sense to you and which one you can commit to. Feel free to check out my tutorial series, it starts with python and ramps up to frontend development. Give it a try 😊
@@CodewithVincent I am actually looking for something with less text and more videos/explenation instead :) I will check it out! Thank you once again, keep up the good work.
Hello Vincent I am Joy from Germany. Can you coach my son? He is 12 year old. Please let me know how much you charge monthly. He want to learn to be a Software engineer. I really hope to hear from you soon, thank you Vicente. (Joy) from Germany
@@CodewithVincent I look at curriculums at universities. I have a associate degree in Social Science. It seems that I can get call center jobs with it. Universities teaches algorithms. Self taught and bootcamp does takes time. Better off university to get computer science concepts.
I mentioned starting with python because it's a very easy language to get started with. Python is great for dealing with data, like cleaning or manipulating them.
First of all very easy explanation very good video! Second ,my question is, I just hit 30,no experience at all with computers just know hot to use google lol! But I am determined to learn ,is it possible to do it by self though and get a job in future that way?
Yeah you're still young man :) if you do self taught you'll need lots of discipline to keep yourself in check. I'd recommend you check out my bootcamp series! 1 video a day and self study would be really good :)
I am in a computer engineering degree, but our college isn't helpful. They tell us that if we know algorithms, database and operating systems we'll crack all interviews but how do we get shortlisted??? Also what skills do I need? Web development? Machine learning? I'm so lost what to do. I have a year left and I have not started on any personal skills like web dev and ML, my resume is empty
Hey! The skills you need really depend on what you're interested in working on. But in general, yes what they said is true. All you really need is algorithms and data structures. In school I didn't learn web development or machine learning. I picked these up myself and applied for internships. So my recommendation for you, is to go venture out. Build some side projects whether it be a website, a machine learning model, etc and slap that on a resume and apply for an internship. If you want to get started with some basic projects, feel free to check out my playlist!
Hello, my name is Timur, I'm from Ukraine. Thank you for the video. I am very worried about the question, can I get a job without having such an education?
I am a computer science student. Our school has a course for full stack web development. Do you think I should focus on web development(do practices and projects) until I got a job,or learn an additional mobile development at the same time to have higher chance of getting a job or internship? Currently my thought is just focusing on web development. What do you think of it?
Well it all depends :) if you're new to coding, then stick to one and get really good at it first. But yeah learning both mobile and web will open more doors. So do what makes sense for yourself, if you can handle both at once then go for it!
Think of it this way. You go to a foreign country and you use a translator app to help you communicate. It works for some stuff, but it's not going to be able to do everything for you. If you know the language yourself, you'll be able to go deeper and actually find mistakes in the translation
you said learn python first then you said learn web dev first which would mean learning JS first. What do you recommend for someone has zero exp and is willing to focus up to 2 hours a day for this? My hunch is to learn JS first.
I recommend python to help getting your brain thinking in code. If you're on a time crunch, then go for JavaScript. If you check out my playlist you can learn most of the python fundamentals pretty quick 😎
I just graduated college with a Bachelors in CS but i never did any internships or have any real world experience. I also dont feel like I learned much/ forgot the things I learned during college :( do you have any advice for someone like me.
Hey! So my big recommendation here is to do PROJECTS to boost your resume. Also, if we learned the same stuff in CS, I'm gonna assume they didn't really teach you how to build applications. So I'd highly recommend starting! If you forgot stuff, feel free to check out my bootcamp series, it should be a quick refresher and help you build projects :) And since you already have a degree, I'd recommend you start applying for jobs after you finish 1 small project, and continue to build as you apply!
Well if you're self taught / bootcamp there won't be much math involved :). As a computer science major, I just completed the required math courses and went on with my life!
@@CodewithVincent thanks, it just seems algebra is 80% coding. I dont mind learning what i have to but. to kno which coding lane to go with the least amount of math needed would be helpfull.
I have a question, there are lots of job requirements that say you have to have a bachelors or masters degree in CS. Should you ignore this when applying to the job?
Yes, I would say that you should ignore it. Worse case, you'll get a rejection. But that's totally fine, because you'll be applying to over 100s of jobs!
I started off by learning computer science. Then I applied for an internship as a software engineer generalist. In this role, I got to work on the company's iOS App. At the time, I only knew python, and a bit of java.
@@metalzt no, the certificate means nothing. dont pay for it. As long as you get the knowledge from it, that's what youll need and then projects blah blah
Hmmm I'd say consistency is key. If you can give 1-2 hours a day of pure focus time. You can definitely learn everything and get a portfolio ready by 18 :) feel free to follow my bootcamp series

Hello, my name is Timur, I'm from Ukraine. Thank you for the video. I am very worried about the question, can I get a job without having such an education?
I'm not familiar with the market in Ukraine. But in NA being self-taught / taking a bootcamp is good enough to land a job in the field.
I am a computer science student. Our school has a course for full stack web development. Do you think I should focus on web development(do practices and projects) until I got a job,or learn an additional mobile development at the same time to have higher chance of getting a job or internship? Currently my thought is just focusing on web development. What do you think of it?
Well it all depends :) if you're new to coding, then stick to one and get really good at it first. But yeah learning both mobile and web will open more doors. So do what makes sense for yourself, if you can handle both at once then go for it!
If I'm a cat, can I learn to program like a hooman?
Yes, you just need to learn how to type with your paws :)

The things I said here are still applicable ☺️
Got it thanks
Good luck unknown player!
I have a very important question: How learning software dev will change after Chatgpt and the explosion of the AI ???
Think of it this way. You go to a foreign country and you use a translator app to help you communicate. It works for some stuff, but it's not going to be able to do everything for you. If you know the language yourself, you'll be able to go deeper and actually find mistakes in the translation
Nice example, so even AI is not more than a tool 🛠👍
Do you recommend the self-taught or starting with the free bootcamps you upload it in your channel
Self taught just means learning on your own. Yeah id recommend checking out my Bootcamp, its free and you can learn at your own pace 😁
you said learn python first then you said learn web dev first which would mean learning JS first. What do you recommend for someone has zero exp and is willing to focus up to 2 hours a day for this? My hunch is to learn JS first.
I recommend python to help getting your brain thinking in code. If you're on a time crunch, then go for JavaScript. If you check out my playlist you can learn most of the python fundamentals pretty quick 😎
Thank you.
No problem! Good luck!
Why did you say start with python and then do JavaScript? Why not just do jacascript?
Python is a great beginner friendly language. And I use it a lot especially for interviews where it is less verbose
I just graduated college with a Bachelors in CS but i never did any internships or have any real world experience. I also dont feel like I learned much/ forgot the things I learned during college :( do you have any advice for someone like me.
Hey! So my big recommendation here is to do PROJECTS to boost your resume. Also, if we learned the same stuff in CS, I'm gonna assume they didn't really teach you how to build applications. So I'd highly recommend starting! If you forgot stuff, feel free to check out my bootcamp series, it should be a quick refresher and help you build projects :) And since you already have a degree, I'd recommend you start applying for jobs after you finish 1 small project, and continue to build as you apply!

I have a playlist to help with that ☺️
Sir. You are the most perfect teacher I met. Thank you.!
Thank you for the kind words!
which path is easy on the math? im pumped but not psched about all the algebra im learning so far trying to self teach.....
Well if you're self taught / bootcamp there won't be much math involved :). As a computer science major, I just completed the required math courses and went on with my life!
@@CodewithVincent thanks, it just seems algebra is 80% coding. I dont mind learning what i have to but. to kno which coding lane to go with the least amount of math needed would be helpfull.
@@coreycole3316 check out my tutorial playlist :) I think it would help you a lot and I don't really talk a lot about math (maybe just a little bit)
I have a question, there are lots of job requirements that say you have to have a bachelors or masters degree in CS. Should you ignore this when applying to the job?
Yes, I would say that you should ignore it. Worse case, you'll get a rejection. But that's totally fine, because you'll be applying to over 100s of jobs!
@@CodewithVincent thank you very much!
How you become iOS engineer??? How many languages do you know ??? Which language you are specialize in ???
I started off by learning computer science. Then I applied for an internship as a software engineer generalist. In this role, I got to work on the company's iOS App. At the time, I only knew python, and a bit of java.
One question, if you do the CS50 at Harvard, do you get some kind of diploma or certificate or is it just for starting out basically ?
If I recall, you can get a certificate if you pay. But what's more important is the knowledge you gain from it (which is free)
@@CodewithVincent Of course, but I reckon a certificate from Harvard would look good in any application :D
@@metalzt I guess, but since this certificate is so easily accessible, it doesn't hold as much weight if you get what I mean :)
@@metalzt no, the certificate means nothing. dont pay for it. As long as you get the knowledge from it, that's what youll need and then projects blah blah
I'm 16 now and I want to become a software engineer self thaught before I'm 18, how many hours a day would you recommend?
Hmmm I'd say consistency is key. If you can give 1-2 hours a day of pure focus time. You can definitely learn everything and get a portfolio ready by 18 :) feel free to follow my bootcamp series
@@CodewithVincent 2 hours a day is definitely doable. Thanks for the quick response
@@user-fh5rz9tq1r make sure to take breaks as well! Those help when you can't figure out a problem :) Merry Christmas
@@CodewithVincent Will do, Merry Christmas
If i learn Wev development and DSA that mwans iam A software engineer ?
A software engineer is just someone who solves problems
