"Those who make a lot of money are the ones who are interested in learning to code."
A humble approach, I like that.
"Get a job'"
That's such a good tip I didn't need to watch the rest.
Should at least have waited for number two: "Selling your programs". Completely blew my mind ^^
His tips promoting to his others UA-cam videos
Ways to make Money as a Developer: Upload videos to youtube showing how to make money as a developer.
That sounds familiar
you have nice likes
Hey bro I really appreciate you taking the time to mention my channel I've been super busy working on courses and planning to move to the south that I'm just catching up to your videos today on my lunch break lol I really do appreciate the mention and in such a respectful way because you pretty much explained exactly what I do. Again thank you!
I love how you're genuinely trying to look out for us beginners in the world of coding. I just started this semester, and I'm already feeling Imposter Syndrome pretty hard, but you're making it seem like I can do it. I love coding, and I have the drive and genuine interest in it, love your videos!
I graduated last year and I still feel imposter syndrome.
I'm coding for 3+ years now and also still feeling Imposter Syndrome sometimes. It's not really that big of a deal, if you keep searching answers and don't forget to practice a lot, you should be fine😊
The layout is simple: How you do it is simple, Not actually doing it it's simple. Thumbs up!
Hey, I live on Oslo (Norway) and I started to work as a front-end developer in may 2012 after finishing up my bachelor degree. In February 2019 I quit my job where I had a salary of about $66800. My first contract would have given my newly established consulting company a yearly income of 120000, though the contract ended after just 5 months. My second contract is with a government agency, where my company's yearly income is now above $220000. Quite the jump from my salary less than a year into the contracting work. Going into contracting work like this does require a proven track record, you can't expect this to happen within the first 5 years of your career. Spend those years learning and building your resume, experience and network - then look into making the transition. Stop procrastinating, get started on your coding career!
well played
great!
I was procrastinating about learning how to code while watching this video. I stop the video after the disclaimer due to my respect for you. I'll now procede to procrastinate in another video.
lol... you serious?
loser
Read java head first the best book for teaching java
😭
@@sharlsherif5710 thats mean
Your hair and your beard are the envy of many men, most everywhere!
Agreed
Imagine that some men like me can never grow a beard nor a hair like that yet it's what I wish in life ... unfair right.
Seito Kimbo It’s human nature to want what we don’t have.
@@mitchellbarnow1709 Well i wanted smooth long hair and good beard since i was a child, so it wasn't really something i wanted just after growing up. Apparently i have a very messy hair and a patchy beard that will not ever achieve a look similar to what I did have in mind. I just have to accept it. I guess.
You mean Jesus?
Forest... Love your content my man. Appreciate you!
Dude seriously you are such a good guy keep it up fam!
Thank you for the disclaimer!!! I’m liking this video and reposting just because of it
Dude I’m getting more and more excited by watching this videos and thank you brother for your dedication really appreciate.
thank you so much , its the first time to see a video of you ,
im really grateful
Love your videos man. Keep up the good work
Thanks for this format.
Interesting take. What do you think of AlgoExpert ?
I love your honesty , I started my BSC in Computing about a year and a half ago in South Africa(there is not alot of opportunities here though) and is currently working as a SQL developer. Subscribed to the channel. Looking to grow. And people like you make the process much more enjoyable. Thanks
Your disclaimer was very encouraging to me. Thank you!!!
Nice video. You included all ideas i had but never acted upon. Thanks for summarizing all.
I appreciate how you stop to tell the aspiring coders not to continue the video.
To promote them to learn and master code to the best of their abilities.
That is a quality a person heading into computer science should have, not worry about the money and enjoy the process of learning.
Well looks like I'll be back in a couple of years.
Thanks Forrest.
love ya man and your videos, you have helped us already without posting more videos in the future ❤️❤️
Also I want to add that I love your channel and you literally have given the motivation for my high school finals. I Even though I shouldn't be watching UA-cam during my finals. I just wanted to thank you and say that you are amazing and I am huge fan.
I love this. I totally agree. Thank you for sharing.
One of my favourite channels! Looking forward to the big change. :)
Great video, as usual. Congrats!
Your experience is priceless!
New CS student, not my first degree - trying to retrain, it is a big leap to leave a promising career and follow a passion, but hopefully, it will all work out. Thanks for all the information and help! it makes it a lot easier to stay focussed and keep faith that I have made the right decision.
This video is on point. Those who are rewarded financially in this career are those who show genuine interest in solving challenges using technology. They can only do that by learning all of the tools necessary. Love your videos!
1. Get a job
2. Create an app for the App Store or theme for ThemeForest

Excellent video! Thank you!
can you talk how and what you did to get your first job. great video btw
Looking forward to that big change you talk about :D
Hey Forrest,
What's your thoughts on mixing mechatronic engineering with a computer science minor? I'm currently in community college getting a math associates. Currently, I'm taking discrete mathematics and linear Algebra and these classes have picked my interest in coding and computer science. Is there opportunities out there where these disciplines are sought or even required? How about involving aviation as well? or just two at the same time?
Thanks for your time,
Kerry
Appreciate you sharing your wisdom for all us newbs out here
Hi really enjoy your videos on computer science. My university offers two options for the computer science degree , you can either major in information technology or do a double major and major in computer science but for the double major it requires you to do atleast 2 more maths modules. My question is which major would you recommend i choose and if i choose to major in information technology would i have any disadvantages for not choosing to do a double major in computer science? Thanks
Very helpful! subscribed immediately.
It's funny, most of your recommendations, are plans and goals I have thought of myself for my own business someday. It's nice to hear of someone else, with the some kind of thoughts and ideas to. I have high respect for your knowledge. It's like confirmation that it is a good idea. Now I need to make 'someday' start happening.
Hey man, great video as always! I've very happily started my CS course 2 months ago, we're currently learning Java and mostly maths. I was wondering, how much time after starting the course would you think I could start being productive, working on interisting projects. Another question: next semester we are gonna be learning C (as well as Java, both languages are present in the entire course), would you say i should start learning it before? Perhaps in the 2 months between both semester, I'm asking this because I've heard it's quite different from Java and not OOP. Thanks man!
Thats a good idea. I was in the same position, didnt do it, bit me in the ass. If I could do it again, Id definitely start learning it sooner.
Learn ASAP. A cs degree won't teach you what you need to know to be a web developer. Trust me, I'm in my 4th year as a computer science student. There's plenty of material online. University will teach you the underlying concepts, but not how to build real world applications.
What @@jakemitchell9688 is saying are FACTS.
Starting making applications/softwares ASAP. Plan "good", and keep up.
saved in my watch later so that I could look into it once I have improved my skill
honest words, from an honest man! thank you!
I stopped the video at 3:10 , and went back to my Spring learning and coding ! thank you :D
same lol
Completely agree with what you say, always do it myself
You absolutely look amazing in long hairs and beard!, I feel like programmers who loves to do technial stuff like carpentry, fabrication etc.. they are really good at programming,
Dude I love that desktop wallpaper!
well my journey started wanting to make games, later i moved to do programs and now am learning electronic.Willing to embeed some hardware and code. The thing its this is my hobby my main job its of a designer.
Can you do a video about how a dev's first day of their first job would be like?
Thanks. Keep it up. May God bless you.
awesome video, well said.
Hello, I am 21 and I am very very new in the IT industry and I have these questions because IT is really really wide
1. What code do you think is best to begin learning
2. Do you consider UX/Ui designing as a smart career choice
3. What is your coding learning process
Helping out with the yt algorhytm. Awesome videos man!
I'd like to know how those military contracts in Virginia get signed. Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been coding for a couple of years now.
Last year I began studying computer science.
I applied for a student developer job in September, and I got that job.
At the moment I’m the only developer in the company. The projects I’m working is being developed in outdated framework.
They’re filled with bad code practice, due to several developers has worked on the projects and every developer has coded in their own way.
Since I’m the only developer at the moment, I don’t have someone to learn from.
I’m considering looking for a new job.
What’s your advice?
Nice video man, love from CodingPhase!
Interesting to know, good info
THIS GUY IS AWESOME !!! TO PUT SUCH A DISCLAIMER !!!! GOD DAAAAMMMMNNNN !!!!
I was going to make a Jesus comment but looks like that one's already been nailed
Its funny, because this dude is handsome and charismatic. Yet the Bible itself says that Jesus was neither.
He’s too light to be Jesus
@@prettymoney4781 yes😆
pun intended
I see what you did there
where did you buy your hoodie? ;)
You have a great self image and these videos bring a new light to my life! Thank you Forrest!
Good idea bro, will probably try freelancing later but for now I wanna stick to UA-cam, I am now in the beginning level, so... will appreciate your video tips on how to grow my channel.
He looks like Jonas Kahnwald from the tv series Dark!
How do i translate the programming skills i learn in class to the real world? I want to improve myself by doing some side projects but i dont know where to start
0:34 Forest, please don't give your candy to the dog :(
I've been learning programming for about a year(first half Java and til now it's JavaScript) and i'm one of those whom it's hard to code. I still try everyday but i guess not enough - it's kinda eats all my confidence and my brain. I do want to be a programmer, but it's tough for me. Did anybody faced some rough times with coding? How did you get through it?
I'm taking Machine Learning next semester, any advice??
As a computer science undergrad, when applying to internships, which information should I include in my CV and cover letter, and how should I structure them?
You don't do a normal CV like applying for other jobs, instead what I would recommend is creating your own website (already shows you off) and then put in some of the work that you have done there for example small games during your school time and even your bigger projects that you did. Perhaps you worked on your own projects aside from what you did in class etc, etc... He even mentioned his "website portfolio" which is basically what I explained just now which is what it is you should use as CV.
@@farsen8229 It deppends, if he is going to apply for big tech like Google or Facebook he will need a CV( cover letter almost always is not necessary )
To add to what Farsen said, commit the website created to GitHub
Hey Forrest. I started CS this summer, and we are learning java. Have always wanted to make an Iphone app. Does it make sense to learn Swift alongside java, or will it be confusing until i know the ins and outs of Java.
loved the video!
He look like Dr.Strange when looking for Acient One.
Quick question how did you make the universe?
This is my first time watching your video and i loved it i am your new Subscriber
Please I want to know how to write a pseudocode and flow chart
Great video . Thanks.
How much programing experience did you have when you applied to your first dev job?
What is the algorithm to calculate how much wood, a woodchuck can chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
how to choose between computer sicence or computer engineer?
One question. when you do contracting do you get insurance benefits or not?
If you do go for a computer engineering degree do you still learn enough code to become a software developer?
Back to my question... In one of your OOOOOLD videos you mentioned that you used to comete with your friends over who could type the fastest... I wanna know what's your WPM. Last time you checked. And do you have tips for increasing accuracy
Thanks bro ♥
Hey Forest, do you know if having a good stack overflow account and active github account is a good perk on a resume? Answering questions on SO, contributing to OS with pull requests, issues, etc?
Obviously, yes... why would you need him to tell you that..
Having activity and good things on github and S.O. is great for impressing people at software companies - they know about these places. But to work on SW for someone at a non-software, non-technical company - forget it. You'll have to "teach" them what S.O. is, how to navigate github.
@@PublicStaticV01D The reason why I ask is because some other channels say that you should have other hobbies and not a very active SO or github account. Some interviewers that aren't technical probably don't even know what stackoverflow and/or github is.
Thank you :)
Spot on video ... :-)
Thnks for the desclaimer included
Developing stuff man, that's what we do!
Programming with Peter Peter my dude, you changed your picture, I like it. I also noticed you're active on a lot of channels,. You're a hard worker
@@ikeohachidi I try to stay active, helping others on the way(other channels or people that needs help), get rid of boredoom because I watch youtube videos while i'm working and slowly growing my channel too, even tho not sure it's working, haha! But I enjoy every video that I watch. P.S. Didn't ever think that someone will recognize me lol

Can you divide your cs course semister by semister?
You just got a new subscriber.
I asked for a sign to determine if this was the correct career path for me. Got on UA-cam and saw Jesus discussing software development! This is all the validation I need. Glory to the most high! 👐🏽
What part time jobs should I be working while in school as a CS student.
About that part of the video 3:15 . I got into tech because of the MONEY 💰. However, I had interest about the technology but my motivator was the money.
Passion for coding and tech came a bit later. Now I think it’s 50/50 money and my passion but at the beginning it was just monetary interest.
