lol. Recorded this last week and since then, freecodecamp came out with a NEW Responsive Web Design course section. Layout is a little different but do the new section instead of the legacy. This only affects a small portion of this video. Also, why you should start a programming youtube channel: ua-cam.com/video/QILxmJpH6wM/v-deo.html
Enjoy the Picasso Painting course, y'all!
I was doing my final portfolio for the 'legacy' web design course when they dropped the new one lol RIP me
@@billyum4302 Fortunately, you can still access it and the projects you have to do for you certification is the same. You can go straight to the projects and visit the new stuff after if you want.
@Billyum. Then finish the legacy and skim the new one for topics you might not have covered.
it says 300 hours i don't think is worth spending 300 hours on it tho . If you got 5 hours a day spending 2 months doing CSS and HTML in the beginning i don't think is worth it . I Hope beginners don't do that they will get bored and give up .
I work in the construction field and it’s taking a toll on my body, Trying learn to code to help me live a longer life with those I love
Best wishes on the journey! I still live with some physical consequences of working construction. Probably would be way worse if I had stayed in that industry.
Same man,same..
Hope you will succeed bro,
Good luck.
I’m working in an Airport as a cleaner,
I hate my life,
When I see people who is Rich buying expensive goods,
I feel so sad that I don’t have that kind a life.
I’m trying to learn python.
@@captainbluemccoy223 I wish you well, that's very admirable, especially if you're out of construction. I currently work for a web design agency but got baited and switched and haven't made a website from scratch, he just uses me to copy content across. So I'm hoping to show him and make my own career so I can leave.
That was my motivation as well.
Away from hard labor jobs with shit pay to a new future with creativity, better pay and all that.
There are so many videos about becoming a programmer but yours hits home the most because you aren't coming from a tech background but a actual worker. I'm a warehouse worker trying to become a programmer and this video was super straight through thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Best wishes with your programming journey YEEHAW!
@@jamescross I will admit some of the concepts FCC is teaching me with HTML is kinda confusing since I don't understand a lot of it
same here audio visual tech to a future dev
Same. Tired of driving a forklift for 13 years.
@@beforeandafterphotos oh man good luck!
Literally am learning on the Odin project right now, trying to transition from tattooing. I was so thrilled when you mentioned this! Feeling on path 😁 thanks!
Dude, thank you so much for referencing Free Code Camp. I was really looking for a site that was able to teach you, but actually have you apply what you've learned without just copying it over. It's so much more helpful as a self-learner as opposed to some other guides which basically just lay out all of the information for you.
I did a bootcamp at a certain university in the state of kansas in 2019, and it left me totally unprepared to actually land a job. I had a portfolio that I couldn't even fully tell a recruiter or company how I coded it, because they didn't teach us HOW to think, just WHAT to think. Here I am, starting my journey over and I'm 2 months in, feeling pretty dang good about it.
Good to hear it's going better for you now!
I’m in the exact same situation
I’m looking at a online college for a bacholrs in web development thinking I’ll be the same when I finish
I finished one recently and am a TA for said company making pretty shit money and I realized it’s part of their scam 😅 I won’t say anymore but I totally feel you with being unprepared. My students are totally lost and I feel their pain.
Well I'm looking into a bootcamp with a guaranteed job at the end soooo
Your videos are appreciated across all ages! I’m 19, about to turn 20, and want to break into the field but lack the finances to enroll in a boot camp. I tried college, but it stripped me of motivation because I felt so being behind and judged my peers for not knowing certain things. I chose to try to learn on my own accord and the resources you gave were so super helpful. Thank you for your work!!!!
Lol Just turned 21 and know exactly what you mean. after highschool tried a lot of things including university but no shoe seemed to fit now I realise this maybe this is the thing for me, love coding gives me a sense of peace even though it's difficult at times but I want to do and now on my road to be a web dev my own pace and loving it
Am 20 Seeing you guys talk like this gives me hope..since all my peers have left for college and I was the only one remaining..I thought it was the end of it all since all my life I have been taught the only way you can make a living is to go to college and get a job but actually there are alot of people who have not gone to college yet making way more than those who have.I don't mean am against going to college or anything..hope you guys Succeed
I appreciate you being so open about your personal story, man. It is a far too common predicament for so many people
I was a ruby on rails developer for just shy of seven years, this was a few years ago. While I liked working in that framework, I was a full-stack developer at a small company (our rails app was a ticketing system for telecommunications jobs). I got SO burned out on full-stack that I swore I'd never do it again and I haven't. A friend of mine recommended boning back up on rails in order to do API stuff, and it's tempting. Anyway, wanted to kind of start from scratch with web development again and that's how I found your video. Thanks for the scoop!
Completely down-to-Earth, no BS, solid information, delivered with understanding and calm reassurance. A great roadmap vid without the clowning and hype.
Great video man. Glad you worked past those hurdles. I’m still gunning for my goals, and already have a good job as a Cloud Storage Engineer, but I still really want to be better with programming and doing web apps that the rest of my team generally doesn’t do or isn’t great at.
Thanks for the tips.
thanks for the feedback!
Where is the Cloud?
Im starting with front end and then will slowly move towards back end with time.
Im so torn down. Unemployed for 3 years and I want to change my life and do something better with my self. Watching videos like these are getting me out of my slump.
Thank you for this video.
Best wishes on your software journey!
i am transitioning from a sales role to a Development role myself. Sending you positive energy :)
You can do it !!!! It is gonna be a challenge but the challenge is worth it !!
also transitioning from sales to maybe front end dev. we're all gonna make it
Keep strong, buddy. You can do it! 👊
Thanks a lot man! I'm planning to go deep with website development. This information helps me to start my journey.
Bro, you are hella inspirational. Thank you - Subscribed.
Seriously, take these advices to the heart. Very helpful indeed and feeling much confident after listening to your advice. You have given one of the best tips for free, best guidance for free and above all you are doing a wonderful job for all aspirants. Thanks a ton!
You are so welcome
Thanks for this video! I’ve been thinking about getting back into web development (self-taught since 15, I’m now 40 but stopped several years ago). I’ve been looking at boot camps, but haven’t found good reviews and just didn’t know where to turn because I know I have more to learn as things have changed. These free courses are better than spending a bunch of money learning things I may already know since I’m not starting off as a beginner.
Yeah, since you already have past experience, bootcamps would probably be a waste of money.
+1 on the building stuff to make sure stuff sinks in. I've learned so much just by having to troubleshoot my own projects.
Great video! Some key points were highlighted that I hadn't heard anyone else discuss. Thank you!
Dude, I can totally feel you on this. I want to do a career shift at 45+ and it feels so daunting looking into learning web dev because of that lol. Thanks for making these videos and reminding me its nevah to late! ^.^
I am 35 just started learning this year hope to finish my course soon. I was thinking exactly the same but it’s never too late .
I’m 37 and about to star my course , never to late , I’ve being a truck driver for 15 years , not for me anymore
37 as well and just started trying to learn. Trying not to become too dependent on AI other than to explain things.
I am 36 just started to learn this year 😉💪🏼 never gave up!!!
@@yasiryounas126same here & I'm 35
You are awesome sir! Couple months ago you were one of the first programing mentor videos I've watched and had no idea about most stuff you were talking about, today watching this I feel proud to say and so much more familiar with most of stuff you mentioned! Totally worth it fellas stay focused you'll get there!, it's not hard but takes a Lot of hardwork!
So great to hear! Glad it's coming together for you!
@@jamescross appreciate it man you really out here changing life's! thank you of all the effort you make to help us
Thank you for the pointers! I've been struggling to find a concise list of things to do and have just been floundering trying to emulate those long video bootcamps, but they all keep teaching me the same basic things!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this insight. I’m looking into learning how to code.
Thank you so much! I’ve been searching for platforms just like free coding. It’s simple and easy to jump start off of. Then I will advance to more difficult ones. I just wanted some place to teach me the basics.
I started to struggle with extreme social anxiety during COVID. I started a remote job but it will end in a few months. I am learning to code as I think there will be more remote opportunities which would suit me better at the moment. I have been studying my butt off for two months, I am hoping in another two to three I will be able to take on some freelance projects and start interviewing. Wish me luck 😀
Best of luck!
I love the vids man, definitely gonna give this path a shot, I’ve dove in 2 separate times trying to learn over the past 3 years each time only lasting a brief period but the first time I got an understanding of what html and css were and did tutorials for like a month and this last time a couple months ago I actually got a pretty good understanding of html structure and learned how to resource what I wanted to happen with css and started building some sites but when JavaScript hit it kinda demotivated me and I stopped and I’ve been getting amped up to dive back in and this video I think just did it for me so thank you I needed that
I gave up on my first attempt and took awhile to give it a go again. It's tough but was worth pushing through it. Especially when things started clicking and became more fun to build things.
I'm currently a business analyst and want to move to more front end work. I love your videos!
Thank you so much dear James. You are really helping someone like me.
Best advice! Thank you James..
I'm 28 and tried to learn by myself many times, this video motivated me to start again. Thank you
Ooh, thank you for the info, I've been looking for something to work on to supplement my college courses!
bro your channel is so underrated . Great videos!
Solid advice. I appreciate it. I have a software engineer friend that mentioned being able to Google documentation is key. You're not going to know everything and might not work on the same stack that you've worked with in the past. Thanks for the tips!
Totally agree. Super important skill once someone is ready to step away from tutorials.
@@jamescross being taught how to do technical research, interpret errors, is always missing from these courses, and there are no good Google-Fu tutorials last I looked. There is a 'how to ask smart questions' document out there however it's more for the general issue of poor questions.
I am in university but my courses contain no web development at all. This guide is helping me to pursue my web dev dreams in my free time! Thanks for motivating me again! All the best to you and your family.
Ive been binge watching various videos on programming for weeks and today i stumbled to your video. when you said you had a career change from construction worker to web developer, i feel like im not alone. i was a waiter, a chef, a car salesman then back to the kitchen and currently at 34, im a site manager. sounds like im making quite a decent amount but im not. found out that an intern who test websites make double than what i currently am doing (and its remote work). i hope that i can find a job that can pay me enough even if i had to work 16 hours a day and turn my life around. currently learning python and when im done, ill go through other languages.
p/s: liked & subscribed :)
thanks for sharing your experience!
I had to retrain about a decade ago, and I went down the book route, going through several books which at face value covered the same thing, but each one would cover it slightly differently, so you got to appeciate it more. I also picked book which contained exercises rather than just explaining, as you learn by doing, not by reading. Afterwards I then built two websites. Neither were spectacular, obviously, but they were enough to show a potential manager that I could apply what I had learned, and that's what got me the job. He said that so many came in for interviews with great paper qualifications, but couldn't offer anything to show they could use what they'd learned.
I think I might have struggled if I was learning now though, as so much appears to be online, or with videos like Pluralsight, which I find impossible to learn from.
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts!
Hello there @revstickleback please could you share this books
@@KenKen-ki1cx It was a series of books called "Head First" but this was over a decade ago so I don't know if they have updated them since.
love the videos man! I've been in the IT support field for a couple years, now studying front-end development to change my career. keep up the good work!
thanks. best of luck Rico on the journey!
Whats making you switch? Unless by support, you mean Help-Desk, then that answers my question.
@@phabeondominguez5971 yup help desk at the moment. Love helping people, but only so many times you can ask, did you reboot.
@@ricobowen9732 I feel you, what about Desktop Support man? Do it at a law firm and you'll have one of the best jobs ever, free reign too. Regardless tho, you can't ever go wrong learning to code so your doing something right that's for sure!!
hows it going?
I just started The OdinProject yesterday 7/1/22, I’m extremely excited, yet a little scared of the task at hand, however that’s life right! I’m currently off for the summer, I work with the NYCDOE, so I have 2 months to tackle this. I truly appreciate your time & effort putting these videos together, they provide insight & perspective that total beginners like myself lack. Thank you so much!
My pleasure! Best of luck on the journey!
@John Paul Rodriguez
Any updates?
@@smileydog5941 I just picked-up from where I left off several months ago. A personal illness threw me off unfortunately. I’m working on using Terminal on my MacBook & it’s so fun. TheOdinProject puts emphasis on it. I just resumed today with TheOdinProject, I’m essentially refreshing my memory & spending time on Terminal. Best of luck on your journey! Sorry for responding late.
This is very timely! Thank you for sharing! Keep it up :D
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks. Your video was so informative. Hope this helps me land a job in the future.
Well said. Absolutely right on all points. When I was learning there was very little resource and all courses were expensive. Heads down, get on with it, don't watch movies or tv unless you have to so your family are GF are kept happy. Making coding your only thing other than producing an income and don't waste time, and don't make it last too long. I recommend becoming a specialist in a subject personally and then an all rounder.
it's a lot of work for sure.
DUDE....YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN THE WORLD. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HONEST...CLEAR....BEST ADVICE .....ONE CAN RECEIVE IN THIS INDUSTRY. APPRECIATE YOU!!! I AM A NEW SUBCRIBER AND WILL SPREAD YOUR CHANNEL TO EVERYONE I KNOW TRYING TO GET IN THE IT INDUSTRY....
Glad to help
Thank you dude for sharing your story because there are many of us that are older and still want to perceive a tech carrear many of us feel related to your experience
First I want to say great video as always!
Secondly for anyone looking to get in to the tech field, depending on where you live, a lot of countries are trying to push the tech industry hard and you may be able to get expensive qualifications fully funded by the state.
I am in the UK and have just started one that is online and self paced and roughly a college level qualification which can easily lead to junior dev positions.
As I say this is dependant on where you live and the self taught method is definitely a viable option.
great point. definitely something folks should look into.
I just thought I'd add under here I am also doing a lot of these free courses at the same time to fill in areas the bootcamp misses and to really drive home the basics.
I'm also from the UK. I'm interested to learn thr name of this course?
I graduated from a boot camp not too long ago and I felt so inadequate so you have no idea how much I needed this video. Thank you
My pleasure!
Where?
This is good man. Thank you
These tips are good for a VERY Technical position, maybe working next to engineers.
For most web dev gigs you will be asked to show work and see if you are not a difficult employee and that's it!
Great stuff, straight to the point..
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for your great work in helping us.
You are so welcome!
This was absolutely the most amazing video! Very thorough and well thought out! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for being so open! Liked the content and will try free code camp I think. What is your opinion of code academy?
Did a full stack boot camp and I really felt too spread-out in my knowledge going into interviews. Instead of having competency/mastery in any one sphere, I had familiarity in many. So I found myself having to focus on one section and do a bunch of individual work/study anyway.
thanks for sharing your experience!
Did you end up getting a job because of the full stack boot camp?
@@VirusZero0140 i watn to ask the same question. After watching this video, maybe its better that you are focusing on one thing and be mastered at it at the time!
Thanks for the video ! Going to follow the websites
Have fun!
thank you so much man, this really means a lot since money is tight and seeing this video has helped me!!!
Glad I could help!
An overlooked tip for when you make these kinds of videos laying out a pathway is to strip away too many options... The worst thing about being a newbie is the overwhelming decision fatigue which then delays making a decision. In this video, you outlay 4 possible decisions which now require additional research. Most people just want one option so they can begin their journey instead of having to consume more videos about more possible pathways. You should interview a newbie on your channel so that they can ask "newbie" questions in which you can use your expertise to answer the questions that every other newbie is asking at home. I guarantee that people in the comments still haven't picked a path because they are still having to research. We just want ONE path to get started.
1. Free Code Camp Org
2. The Odin Project
3. Udemy
4. CS50 - Harvard Computer Science
Damn right. Good job. We need people likee you making these videos not people who don't get it
Free code camp
"We just want one path to follow" damn bro, life is not that easy, and if you don't want to do a little of work just doing some research maybe there's not path to follow for you or other guys than think similar
CS50 by a mile. Thay actually have 2 courses, Intro to CS and WebDev with Django and Javascript. Do both and you will get some good projects for you portfolio and you will be more than ready for the job interview. However is very hard.
Thank you very much for Sharing this FANTASTIC message with us, please share more information with us
Really enjoying your content! Although right now I am in a full MERN stack Bootcamp I think knowing front end and back end basics will help me in the long run. I am hoping to get into this industry in the next few months transitioning from the medical field. Just wanted to say thank you for your content
for sure it will help. it is great to have breadth in addition to a specialization.
I'm 23 and also transitioning from the med field I was in Nursing school now I'm looking into this!
@joseph which source you recommend for recommend ?
Great content thank you so much!
What a GREAT man! Your familj must be proud of you.
I really like this video. It educated me a lot. Thanks so much
This is my current path, and it has been amazing. All the blanks I had and things I didn’t understand have been covered
:)
I knew you would talk about theodinproject before I start the video and yes it's really a great place to learn web development. Currently, I'm on Foundations 'JavaScript'. Happy Coding!
You're awesome man! Cheers for the inspiration 🙌 🙏 👍
My pleasure!!
Great 👍 I will continue to watch your inspiring videos
Thank you very much for all the website and information shared in this video; I already have an account on some of the websites you mentioned; However, those others I didn't know about are phenomenal!
Glad it was helpful!
I recommend about a year of learning and doing your own projects on the side. Plus yeah you got to take a risk applying for jobs. Nice video devsmak.
Very true! Took me about 9 months with a tight non-family friendly schedule. A year would have been better pacing.
Thank you... I even started learning Html and Css recently... And I'm liking it
Great to hear!
Wow. A lot to absorb but absolutely useful. So grateful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Serious though love your videos and the info you provide to us all. Keep it up.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for the motivation sir, look forward to be a web developer.. 🙏🏼🔥
Best of luck!
You are absolutely right! . I went to a BootCamp studying Java Full stack development program.....and it is a big waste of money, time and energy! I wish I watched your video before taking those classes. I was so close on giving up on coding ,and go back to Walmart because I hated back-end development and I thought that is what coding was about. But my wife told me to hold on a little bit and power through the back-end portion and try front end for one week.....And I loved It!
Thanks for sharing!
I was already familiar with the CS50(x) course from Harvard, however I have never heard of MOOC, so thanks for pointing out that fantastic-looking resource!
Glad it was helpful!
im a diesel tech and I see other techs in their 40’s with bad backs, joints. Heavy equipment takes a toll on their bodies and Im looking for a way out.

Ditch Ruby on Rails but Python is something you definitely want to learn as it's used to teach fundamental programming theories!! It's also in very high demand out in the field!! You CANNOT go wrong with learning Python!!
wow same here dude. try'na take a leap of faith in programming and do what i actually love to do. .from construction to programming
Excellent video man, thanks
Glad you liked it!

Yup! On my walk now! Wish you were around a decade ago… but thankful for your insight! Danke Brother!
Rock on!
Thanks for posting/sharing.
Question can you post a video on the tools/software someone with a Mac can use while testing JavaScript and other languages
Very helpful content, this information could literally put coding boot camps and schools out of business if more people knew about it.
thanks
im only a minute in, and it's probably the most honest video i've ever seen.
Lets hope your channel reaches 100k or more by end of this year When I first saw your video I thought this guy must be having over a million sub then I saw you just started making videos btw you have quality content and awesome setup
Thanks appreciate the feedback! That would be cool. But for now, just enjoying being able to interact with most people in the comments.

Thank you very much sir.
Currently an electrician. Using codecademy and a couple other sites to try and learn what I can before hopping into a bootcamp, but trying to get out of the construction industry asap
Thanks dude, this gave me better focus.
Glad to hear it!
love it bro no chessey intro just straight into the video
thanks for the feedback!
Great Video Man
thanks
what helps doing those exercises is googling why things work the way they do. also you can press the 'get a hint' button if you feel like you haven't fully grasped a certain concept. people on the page you get directed to usually explain how things work the way they do
good point
I’ve been using free code camp and it does help me understand the material a bit more my biggest issue is trying to find out what the most important languages and stuff i need to know I’ve been learning what API means just trying to make sure I understand everything because there’s so many things to learn i feel and I’m going for web development
thank you for this video dude, you motivated me to continue my study)
Happy to hear that! Wish you the best on the journey Vladyslav!
