The humility and humbleness to openly discuss what yourself went through just for giving confidence to others is incredible and tells a lot about you. It says that you feel what it is like to be in this journey. Thank you very much Brad! God bless you and your family.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tips you can offer me.

A couple more tips from me, for when you're stuck... 1. Take a break. Get away from the computer. It's amazing how I was able to solve problems, come up with creative new ideas, or simply see the way forward just by going for a run or a long walk and letting the mind drift. 2. Sleep on it. A big function of our dreams is to consolidate what we have learned and to resolve issues. Many a time I was able to fix an apparently insurmountable problem just with a good night's sleep.
Good advice. I literally dreamed the solution to a problem. Woke up and wrote it down, it worked. I'd spent hours on it before I went to sleep, getting nowhere. To be fair it was a pretty obvious solution I was just really tired and frustrated. Nap times are the best times.
I dont know what to say to Brad, you have transformed me from grass to grace. I see a great future now. I was lost completely since first year but when I met you, I am gaining a lot of knowledge in programming. Big ups Brad
My favorite channel! I'm a self taught kinda developer, just started 1 month ago with html and css, now I'm almost ready for JS. And I'm here learning from you Brad almost everyday before starting my schedule and coding. Thank you! stay safe.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm 53 and just starting my coding journey. Over the past few days I have watched and learned from, your HTML and CSS crash course videos. I love it!
The psychological elements and self-help nuances inserted in many of your videos are absolutely amazing. I have never seen someone approaching programming with such depth in regard to so many inner struggles people face when entering the field. Your content cuts so close to the bone. Keep it up, this helps a lot.
1. Understand Concept: Understand don't worry about syntax. Active learner code it. 2. Take Action: Copy Code and see what it does, Break it, Add changes, Make a new one. 3.Code Every Day: Every day maybe 25 minutes or hours but every day or you will start forgetting everything. 4. Reference: Make Notes or things to remember, Tips for help. Documentation. 5. Stick with it: It takes as much amount of work it takes. Keep putting in the hard work and man-hours and it will fall in places. Stay consistent.
I wish i had heard these very words 5 years before. You cannot imagine how many times I have started and stop, learning so many different programming languages. Thanks for the great words Brad, very encouraging.
Peter Samson I know this is an old comment but peter I feel the same way. I’ve started and stopped about 3 times over the past few years. Best of luck!
If you want to learn how to build web applications inna short time, then i Highly recommend this course on Udemy, it really takes you from a beginner to a decent developer: "learn laravel vuejs, build a tesla app"
damn son, this shit got inspirational toward the end. bless your heart, tear in my eye. everytime i get stuck, i will just think of you saying "don't give up" WE'RE ALL GONNA MAKE IT BRAHS
Everytime I watch your videos I get so hyped up and boot up my pc and start coding. Whenever I'm feeling lazy I'll remember to visit your channel. Thanks a lot man. I hope you enjoy making these vids as much as we do.
i found it youre my go to guy now. your personality and realness is very authentic and i appreciate the time you take to make these videos programming journey begins
I’m so happy I came across this video. I’m the inly one I know embarking on this coding journey. I love it and am constantly coaching myself. It’s good to hear I am not alone. Thank you
Bro much respect and love, I've been trying to dig deeper into programming, for some months now, without much success just reading and research but no actual tangible results, just copy and pasting, I happened to come across your videos while researching and while I've only been here briefly I can tell your videos are pretty legit and too the point not like those others who just ramble, thank you man and all the best!
Dude, You are an awesome human being! can tell simply by your tone of voice. Humility makes you stronger. I send you my respect from the beach at Punta Cana. I am learning a lot with your channel. Thanks.
This is a really essential lesson for everyone, thanks for sharing this! I'm 51 and just now learning how to do programming. It has been a rough time, I've thought I was stupid, I've thought I was too old, I've given up. But I really wanted to get better so no matter how slowly, I always got back into it and restarted. I'm making real progress now, and coming across this video right now in my development is super helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, Brad! The first tip is exactly what I needed. For the past few months, I've been learning a ton of stuff every single day (gfx, coding, psychology, investing, laws, health, etc.), but I couldn't tell why I was having such an easy time remembering certain things, but not others. Turns out the more I understand something, the better I can remember/figure it out myself.
Thank you so much, I am at Community College and what helped me the MOST was exploring GitHub thanks to you. Now I have everything organized of everything I write and do
great list. as a programmer who has used at least 10 to 15 different languages in production and in enterprise situations, I can completely relate to all of what you've said. My favorite piece or advice to a new programmer is to learn scheme with a book called the pragmatic programmer. scheme may not be a mainstream language but the book talks about all kinds of fundamental programming ideas and helps you grasp functional and object oriented language design on a very deep level. at this point in my career I can easily read a very small bit of documentation and then in a few weeks get to a point where I can use almost any language.
Good advices, I use almost all of them intuitively and it helps me. Another thing, use video courses and stop, repeat, think, understand and code timesevery single lesson. For every hour of a course material you will spend 5 hrs. When you finish course, go to some other. language or a topic. Then after a month or so go back to former course and repeat it, you will surprisingly find new things that got unnoticed before. My standard is to repeat 4-5 times every course
"active learning" I interpret that as "practice until I get it". While I studied programming in school, it was mostly desktop or "isolated" software development where you only had to know one language for specific software. When I got my first "real" job in web development, I was taken aback by the many technologies I needed to learn _just_ to get a simple website running. What sped up my learning, was replicating whatever I did at work; at home--changing the project's theme so that it's not a complete clone. I would keep replicating projects until I'm comfortable with my understanding of the technologies to use them well. When I was tasked to mentor some juniors, they were amazed at my quick grasp of technologies in general. Heh... there is no secret... just deliberate practice.
One thing I can recommend, which is a little weird and not everyone will get, is to "sketch out" what you want to do. This helps me tremendously. Literally draw out a "blueprint" of what you want to do. This helps me break things down and problem solve each portion appropriately.
The last bit of advice about feeling inadequate is very important, I feel that way often, it just makes it that much better when you finally figure it out 👍🏻
Thanks for the pep talk Brad! You really make it easier to navigate the vast jungle that learning coding can feel like at times. Its really good to know you also went through the stuggles and weren't a "computer geek" your whole life. Really appreciate the good work you do and i would definitely recommend your videos to anyone who was interested in learning how to code. Thanks again :)
This makes a lot of sense. I have trouble think what to write, where to start. I look at other people’s code for inspiration. I guess i really have to look at every single line to understand it better. I might just be lazy
Great advice man! this channel is probably one of the most places I've benefitted from online honestly, I've recommended it numerous times to people and will continue to do so.
Don't remember ..... understand was the best part for me. I always try to remember what I learn. From now onwards I will just understand what I learn. Hope that will help to clear my mind a little bit. Thanks Brad !!
wow, dude, your vids give me great inspiration. this is the second vid i have watched and I must say that you are good at inspiring non experienced coders like my self. keep up the great work!!
Thats great. Trust me if I could learn anyone can. I was a C and D student in school, I have ADHD and somewhat of a troubled past. What helped was the love of programming. If it is something you really want you can go way further than me
thats great to hear and great to get a response from you. One thing that I have always been curious with is, do u really need to be good at math in order to become a good programmer?
Absolutely not. I used to think that too. I suck at math. What you really need to understand is basic logic, conditionals, loops, functions, objects, etc. And those are all things that do not require math. Now if you are wanting to work on super complicated algorithms or assembly language and the real geeky stuff, yes you should have a good grasp on complicated math. But for the stuff you see on my channel, not at all
I appreciate every advice given, but indeed I agree that the part starting at 8:55 is the most important because it speaks about what might be the biggest problem for every beginner - feeling like he is not good/smart enough. Thanks!
Travery Media, Kevin Powell, We Will Code from YT and freecodecamp along with w3schools and Udemy courses are what i use to learn web development. I also downloaded as PDF many books from JS and PHP but soon ill get some books of Angular, React, Node etc.. as well. Im glad i found this channel along with others. You have now inspiried me alot more, and i just found this video. Thank you for existing.
OK. One word of truth. It takes TIME to truly master a language. A lot of time, actually. So those who think that they can learn a language, the ins and outs of it, over a month or half a year will invariably be disappointed. This is not gonna happen (unless you're a genius, which can happen, of course :) After years of coding in a language you'll still be able to discover things you haven't known. This is normal as we'll never know everything about anything. Learning to code is a journey. Like any learning. Make learning part of your daily routine and you'll be OK; just enjoy it. And remember that coding these days IS a collaborative effort. Always learn from those who are better than you; take a peek at how they do things and mimick them (mimicking is actually how we always learn, then comes the understanding of why we do it this way and not another). There will always be someone like that :) But for others it'll be YOU. That's how it goes... folks. And please don't sweat it. Since the past, present, and the future have already all been established (according to the relativity theory), you can't learn more than you can learn :)))
i really liked this talk..you are a wonderful guy..so honest and humble,i always loved your videos..like you really telling how sometimes i myself feel when i get stuck at solving some problem,and you give lovely thoughts that really help..thank you
Thank you for the confidence boost, I appreciate your kind words. I have been learning the front end stack and have been applying for jobs. I have not gotten any calls yet but i’m staying positive, your words help.
Thank you for posting this! The wisdom and insight in it are as true today as they were when you originally made the video. Every little bit of reassurance and motivation is helpful when learning code and this has helped immensely.
Incredibly useful - some great tips in here - spec. the "snippets" section for resources - organizing your own (folder/file mgmt) - online resources: Gistbox, Csnipp, Snippleaf cheers :)
Really big thank you for this video.! It is very motivating and helps me not to give up in time when I moved to the US, nobody knows me and need to make money as fast as I can.
*Potential course idea* I have seen couple of your courses Brad, and your voice, knowledge and production are awesome. Thanks for doing the great job for us! This video is one of the best videos I ever watched, and it triggers my thinking of a potentially greatest course ever. Let me explain: I concentrate lately to learn PHP. And as some people mentioned in comments, in courses instructors are trying to explain everything in a very short time. I was always asking myself: is there any course that takes time, and going through micro steps, probing, testing, making mistakes, fixing mistakes and explaining while taking time to do it. Also teaching students, how to think from "birds view perspective" breaking program into small pieces, and also explain how to Google correctly and more importantly, how to use that information in that particular case. Students will learn how to be more independent. Every course is about variables, loops, functions etc. It is more important to *learn how to learn.* This may not necessary apply to PHP only, my opinion is, that systematic thinking and what steps to take to accomplish something, is the core. *I would value that course 10 fold!* Nobody did it so far, and I hope someone will… I am prepared to pay upfront for the course like that, and que from 4am, to get it first, so to speak :)
please keep making this type of tips, is too good to know other things around the coding world, I always ask myself if this is for me, you up my confident thanks again!
My tips 1. Revise alot of what you learn! Courses, books domt just throw them away. 2. Remember more Important Parts or spend more time remembering stuff you find hard to. 3. Learn In Snippets (10-30 Minutes at a time.) 4. Take a break drink water eat fruit and try not to stare at a computer or phone for a long period of time. (They normally say correct me If I'm wrong, no more than 2 hours at a computer without a long and lengthy break. Make It a hour or 1.5 hours and after you have done that. Pay a bill walk the dog find some chores to dodo shitntbat dosent involve technology or staring at a screen for awhile. 5. Write alot of journal or notes kn comments. // this will help you document everything and explain to yourself or others what you have done. Make sure you can understand It and before you finish your work to check It. Also make comments clear concise and be able to be understood by a noob.
This is the video I was looking for! How to learn how to learn! Thank you so much for this step by step learning process. I really appreciate the advices you give.
Holy fuck! I'm glad I spent hours going through videos (instead of designing and coding) to find a gem that is this channel, like some would say "You're a G my man!".
Hey Travis, can you make a video about how to learn a new language/framework? How do you approach a new topic? Do you learn the principles before applying it to a project or you study the entire documentation? Always thank you for the good and inspirationals videos
Brad, I have to thank you for the time and effort and sharing. You are the best! I really appreciate your tutorials. Keep up the great work. Best Wishes
Last slide is good one. As well... there will be a point where you will reach a small victories every day. New function, new refactoring idea, new idiom to understand, new feature implemented. Just stick with it and code every day. Repeat and modify every example you learn. If you stuck with some challange... leave it for a hour or day. Solve other one. And then come back and try again. Probably think about alternative way to solve it. ( my 5 cents after 8th month of learning Go)
'Google is your best friend' never a truer word spoken. Thanks for all your tutorials really enjoying modern html and css from udemy. I've just finished building the hotel website. Javascript up next 🤔
Fantastic Video Traversy! Could you please do a video on how to learn how to read documentation? This skill isvital for anyone considering programming as career. I find myself often confused by dense documentation. Can you please share best practices and how to read dense, verbose, or poor documnentation well? Thanks!
So I’ve been watching your videos for about two days or so since I found you on accident and I’m interested in Full Stack.. I thought your voice sounded familiar and I’m pretty sure you’re the teacher of the Full Stack course I got on Udemy :) If so small world!
Walked into my office, saw this on my inbox, forgot about everything and watched it. Had to endure the project manager's wrath but it was totally worth it! XD
Thank you man, you all time save my life, today i was so stuck with that codes :D and think same, this is what i want and blabla bla and you just give me answer, Than a lot, motivation just come back, hey i want give you answer, i think i like much logical and algorithm types of codes and which video you can recommend me, to listen about that directions of code,sorry for my english!!
I suggest sololearn for those who want to learn coding . also make sure u start with python as it is the easiest and arguably the most efficient and one of the best. also try to read some books on it, for example, automate the boring stuff with python or byte of python, these are great books. also try to find some codes and try to add to them,understan them or something that involves interacting with the code so u understands functions, etc
Great tutorial, as always. I find it difficult at times, and have felt like giving up, but have stuck with it. But it's hard with young kids and a full time job. I too didn't grow up in front of a computer, and certainly cannot be classed as a computer geek. I was just wondering, how you got into coding? And how long it took you to become as proficient as you are?
Hey Traversy, thank you for all the effort that you've put on your videos to introduce these prog.languages and frameworks to us, simple human beings lol. let ask you one thing... can i use your coding series and upload them into my git repository? I'm trying to get a job and these exercises would be a key to provide some coding examples... alright, one more thing... I don't know if you code for living, but I'd like to know if you could make a video and explain at least of your point of view, which language, frameworks, would be good for certain projects, or which would lead the user to use these tecnologies... eg: what you can do with javascript, which projects you could build or problems to solve, just to know the frame of possibilities... well I was trying to work with C#, but I stayed a bit stressed and I decided to start over with javascript and learn these frameworks and I'm trying to understand what in a large scale of possibilities these language could help me solve and build services... focused in web apps, progressive apps, even mobile... thank you :)
I don't have a problem with that but I would suggest that you let them know you followed along with a tutorial. You should not give the impression that you created it from scratch. I am planning a video close to what you suggested
The humility and humbleness to openly discuss what yourself went through just for giving confidence to others is incredible and tells a lot about you. It says that you feel what it is like to be in this journey. Thank you very much Brad! God bless you and your family.

"once you understand logic, everything is just variable"

i really liked this talk..you are a wonderful guy..so honest and humble,i always loved your videos..like you really telling how sometimes i myself feel when i get stuck at solving some problem,and you give lovely thoughts that really help..thank you
Thank you for the confidence boost, I appreciate your kind words. I have been learning the front end stack and have been applying for jobs. I have not gotten any calls yet but i’m staying positive, your words help.
Thanks Brad, you are like a good friend giving good advice.
Thank you for posting this! The wisdom and insight in it are as true today as they were when you originally made the video. Every little bit of reassurance and motivation is helpful when learning code and this has helped immensely.
You are just an amazing teacher, inspiration and unbeliaveble human being for sharing all this with us👏🏼
Incredibly useful - some great tips in here
- spec. the "snippets" section for resources
- organizing your own (folder/file mgmt)
- online resources: Gistbox, Csnipp, Snippleaf
cheers :)
Really big thank you for this video.! It is very motivating and helps me not to give up in time when I moved to the US, nobody knows me and need to make money as fast as I can.
*Potential course idea*
I have seen couple of your courses Brad, and your voice, knowledge and production are awesome. Thanks for doing the great job for us!
This video is one of the best videos I ever watched, and it triggers my thinking of a potentially greatest course ever. Let me explain: I concentrate lately to learn PHP. And as some people mentioned in comments, in courses instructors are trying to explain everything in a very short time. I was always asking myself: is there any course that takes time, and going through micro steps, probing, testing, making mistakes, fixing mistakes and explaining while taking time to do it. Also teaching students, how to think from "birds view perspective" breaking program into small pieces, and also explain how to Google correctly and more importantly, how to use that information in that particular case.
Students will learn how to be more independent. Every course is about variables, loops, functions etc. It is more important to *learn how to learn.* This may not necessary apply to PHP only, my opinion is, that systematic thinking and what steps to take to accomplish something, is the core. *I would value that course 10 fold!* Nobody did it so far, and I hope someone will…
I am prepared to pay upfront for the course like that, and que from 4am, to get it first, so to speak :)
please keep making this type of tips, is too good to know other things around the coding world, I always ask myself if this is for me, you up my confident thanks again!
Thank you for the "If you think you're stupid and not good enough - you're not alone". THANK YOU! :)
My tips
1. Revise alot of what you learn!
Courses, books domt just throw them away.
2. Remember more Important Parts or spend more time remembering stuff you find hard to.
3. Learn In Snippets (10-30 Minutes at a time.)
4. Take a break drink water eat fruit and try not to stare at a computer or phone for a long period of time. (They normally say correct me If I'm wrong, no more than 2 hours at a computer without a long and lengthy break. Make It a hour or 1.5 hours and after you have done that. Pay a bill walk the dog find some chores to dodo shitntbat dosent involve technology or staring at a screen for awhile.
5. Write alot of journal or notes kn comments.
// this will help you document everything and explain to yourself or others what you have done. Make sure you can understand It and before you finish your work to check It. Also make comments clear concise and be able to be understood by a noob.
This is the video I was looking for! How to learn how to learn! Thank you so much for this step by step learning process. I really appreciate the advices you give.
The last slide was very encouraging! Thank you so much.
Holy fuck!
I'm glad I spent hours going through videos (instead of designing and coding) to find a gem that is this channel, like some would say "You're a G my man!".
Hey Travis, can you make a video about how to learn a new language/framework? How do you approach a new topic? Do you learn the principles before applying it to a project or you study the entire documentation? Always thank you for the good and inspirationals videos
Brad, your efforts are immensely appreciated! Thank you for these videos!
Brad, I have to thank you for the time and effort and sharing. You are the best! I really appreciate your tutorials. Keep up the great work.
Best Wishes
Last slide is good one. As well... there will be a point where you will reach a small victories every day. New function, new refactoring idea, new idiom to understand, new feature implemented. Just stick with it and code every day. Repeat and modify every example you learn. If you stuck with some challange... leave it for a hour or day. Solve other one. And then come back and try again. Probably think about alternative way to solve it. ( my 5 cents after 8th month of learning Go)
'Google is your best friend' never a truer word spoken.
Thanks for all your tutorials really enjoying modern html and css from udemy.
I've just finished building the hotel website.
Javascript up next 🤔
I really wanted to like again your video on your last slide! Great talk 👍🏻
Right now my fave youtube channel. Learning PHP with you.
Awesome and much needed video.
Your videos are great, concise and upto date.
Fantastic Video Traversy! Could you please do a video on how to learn how to read documentation? This skill isvital for anyone considering programming as career. I find myself often confused by dense documentation. Can you please share best practices and how to read dense, verbose, or poor documnentation well? Thanks!
Brad, the friend that everybody needs!
So I’ve been watching your videos for about two days or so since I found you on accident and I’m interested in Full Stack.. I thought your voice sounded familiar and I’m pretty sure you’re the teacher of the Full Stack course I got on Udemy :) If so small world!
Great video man, thanks for all your help and hard work. You're a rock star!
Thanks for the video, very helpful... Learning to code on my own can get very discouraging at times, but this helped.
thank you so much for everything Brad, all your vids are so helpful, you are a great person
Walked into my office, saw this on my inbox, forgot about everything and watched it. Had to endure the project manager's wrath but it was totally worth it! XD
This is the youtube channel where first I hit the like button and then I watch the video.
I just be sure to get my daily dose of Traversy Media. :-)
"Google the shit out of it" hahaha that's Boston's tick words... My hat is off for you Brad as always!
Last part of the video really helped a lot. "Stick with it"
Thank you Brad! This was truly inspiring. God bless you!
Words of wisdom!
I always look forward to your content, keep it coming, sir.
Don't understand why people need to dislike an advise?!!! thanks for this video anyways!!
thank Ü sir for your precious tips. I gonna improve thru it. it's seems clear the way you thinking.
Great Video! the last slide was the best i really needed that!!
Thank you man, you all time save my life, today i was so stuck with that codes :D and think same, this is what i want and blabla bla and you just give me answer, Than a lot, motivation just come back, hey i want give you answer, i think i like much logical and algorithm types of codes and which video you can recommend me, to listen about that directions of code,sorry for my english!!
Thank you so much for all those wise and helpful tips.
This is the reason I like you channel 🙌🏻 Thanks for the video buddy :)
I suggest sololearn for those who want to learn coding . also make sure u start with python as it is the easiest and arguably the most efficient and one of the best. also try to read some books on it, for example, automate the boring stuff with python or byte of python, these are great books. also try to find some codes and try to add to them,understan them or something that involves interacting with the code so u understands functions, etc
Great tutorial, as always. I find it difficult at times, and have felt like giving up, but have stuck with it. But it's hard with young kids and a full time job. I too didn't grow up in front of a computer, and certainly cannot be classed as a computer geek. I was just wondering, how you got into coding? And how long it took you to become as proficient as you are?
My favourite UA-cam channel on Coding!
Always very helpful!
Thanks man and keep the good things coming!
:)
You are awesome , i love your tutorials , the way you explain them.. Awesome
Thank you very much Brad! Great tips again.
This Video Is very helpful. You are great man. I am big fan from india
The snippet tip really helped me out. Thanks.
Hey Traversy, thank you for all the effort that you've put on your videos to introduce these prog.languages and frameworks to us, simple human beings lol.
let ask you one thing...
can i use your coding series and upload them into my git repository?
I'm trying to get a job and these exercises would be a key to provide some coding examples...
alright, one more thing... I don't know if you code for living, but I'd like to know if you could make a video and explain at least of your point of view, which language, frameworks, would be good for certain projects, or which would lead the user to use these tecnologies... eg: what you can do with javascript, which projects you could build or problems to solve, just to know the frame of possibilities...
well I was trying to work with C#, but I stayed a bit stressed and I decided to start over with javascript and learn these frameworks and I'm trying to understand what in a large scale of possibilities these language could help me solve and build services... focused in web apps, progressive apps, even mobile...
thank you :)
I don't have a problem with that but I would suggest that you let them know you followed along with a tutorial. You should not give the impression that you created it from scratch. I am planning a video close to what you suggested
I will like every video and watch every single add of yours to the end!
thank you so much ..some of the tips i have already know...some of them are very usefull ...thanks
I'm new to your channel, but love it so far! Do you mind sharing your snippets folder? :)
HANDS DOWN AWESOME INSPIRATION ..LOVE YOUR HUMBLENESS BRO.. :)
Thanks a zillions for this awesome tips; god bless you.
