      @@joshualim5587 From my 15 years of experience in the Field, I have found that most of the job will be learned on the job because, no company does things in the same way and the things that you learned in school are ideal, but noone does things in the ideal way. The sooner that you can overcome this, the less chances that imposter syndrome will stick with you.

    Try to build an app for your own needs with copy paste method. Run it and see the results.

Think of it as learning how to write,you find a book or article that was written by a master writer and you hand copy it word by word,then you study and understand them.

    I am so happy that I found your YT channel. I had a 3 years banking career and decided to change career to software development. Throughout my journey to become a software engineer, I had ups and downs, I doubted myself, lost my motivation, started large projects and never finished. So far, every one of the videos I watched gave me some more confidence to continue and really spoke to me. I am not employed yet (so far I was constantly rejected, even though I followed a training program at a multinational local company and got there an internship), but I come up with some small ideas to implement for personal portfolio and work harder to prove myself into the field. :)

    Completely agree. I have about 2 years of Java background, and I wanted to learn python. One of the first things I built was an Alexa skill that uses data structures like dictionaries and lists, as well as http requests. Before that, I made a simple command prompt password retriever to get passwords faster than the Google Password Manager. I started learning Python in late February. I'm still learning a lot about the language and syntax, but I do that with building projects

    I agree with the advice of "just get started" and with all the you tube tutorials, anyone is spoiled for choice, for where to start
    I am not working, so I can spend all day teaching myself to code. I would not expect anyone to have the paitence to write code or do tutorials all day, that is too boring, atleast at first. I suggest, spend about 4 hours working through a couple of tutorials, try tweaking the code and making small changes to see what is possible with that bit of code. Instead of watching netflix in the evening, try making something fun, could be a game, a small program, or or any of the other side project ideas that are suggested in any video. My side project is a text based adventure game, where you talk to people, and there are dialogue options, and each character as a different personality, so you get either a positive or negative response based on how you talk to them.

    Hey Mayuko! I'm a recent graduate in Computer Science in have been on the search for a job. I found that my education lacked quite a bit of practical skills and wasn't as great as I would have hoped. I find my knowledge on technologies, practical skills, data structure & algorithms, and everything in general seems to be lacking. I am thankful that the one thing I am confident in is my analytical way of thinking. "Thinking like a coder." Which still gives me hope. I'm trying to overcome this weird fear of inadequacy with starting to build a portfolio and building projects to get better. I just have to say, watching this video is beyond encouraging. I've always told myself "JUST DO IT," but sometimes, self motivation is tough when you yourself is the obstacle lol I just wanted to thank you for all that you do.

    Spot on. Great advice. As soon as you feel you can start to code for yourself. Solve your own problems with code. Create your own projects...Start.
    If you think "I know enough to do 60% of what I want.. So, should I do another 50 or 100 hours of tutorials? Or, should I make a start and and learn what else I need as I code?"
    The answer is... start coding
    Always start coding
    The difference is mainly motivation. If you are solving a problem you actually want to solve or a project you are passionate in. You will be motivated far more than if you are doing dry academic projects.
    In my experience you will learn faster and retain more if the coding is towards a goal you set and you are passionate about.
    Have a reference book by your side, maybe have Stack overflow open in a web browser, examples of work ready to scan for reference (and syntax issues) and just start
    I mean that's just common sense isn't it?

      I literally just started learning programing with Python, because that's what my programer friend recommended me that I start with.
      What I want to do though is build like an educational application about the guitar and publish it on my website.
      Should I actually switch over to Java script from python if Java script can handle webdev as well as building a stand alone application?
      Or should I stick with Python for building the application and learn Java script separately for webdev?
      I could actually even ditch the webdev part for a while because I can just email the application to those who buy my app. And by app I don't mean mobile apps. Just a computer program like games and stuff like that.
      Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    "Learning or the sake of it" is a great observation. Some people learn and adapt quickly. But some don't. And for those that do not learn easily could have real trouble learning especially if it's not a current passion or has an alignment with their personal subject matter connections etc. I've been wanting to jump from front end to back end but continuously find myself undecided.

    Thank you! Keeping it small, is probably exactly what I needed to hear...I'm a beginner at this journey, and I had what I wanted mapped out but, the more i looked at it, it seemed further from grasps and rather de-motivating. Also the tips on maintaining accountability with friends is a great idea.

    Mayuko, While I agree wholeheartedly with the project based approach to mastery, I wouldn’t discount the canned tutorials that exist out there. Going to someone who is new to coding and telling them “go build something” is really scary and imposing. What a tutorial will do, at the very least, is give someone a task that they can reproduce where they can see the end product and give them a little encouragement. If someone asked me how to really master something, I would say start by trying to either duplicate something that exists or take a tutorial and make it better by adding a new feature. Anyway, thanks for the video! It’s good to know there are folks in the business who care about the next generation of developers out there.

    It is not the same make some programs at school or for your self than working in a software company. My first experience as a intern was really bad, my first task was refactoring an entire project without documentation and any idea of what to do. And after that everything was the same, besides, nobody tells you that most of the time you correct someone else mistakes spending not only hours but days, even weeks working in the same exactly thing just make a button work. And the worse part is that everything you are learning is gonna become obsolete in a few years, this thing is always changing. Programming, more than knowledge, is about intelect and patience. Do not underestimate me, I was really god programming at school and I participated in some competitions with succes. If you are beggining in this just keep that in mind and good luck.
    Sorry for my punctuation, I'm not a native speaker. Greetings.

    In order for me to make coding as fun as possible, I would make text-based games or even mini game engines. I would also take breaks every now and then(I'm a 3D modeler too and planning to make doing art as my main source of income someday).

    *(Perfect) practice makes perferct*
    Don't fall into tutorial hell.
    Must apply tutorial skills to your own projects. Very very important to connect the learned skills into making new projects, even if your creation is shit, it's important.
    Watching tutorial only for the sake of it is wrong.
    Making projects is the real deal.
    Basic | Fundamentals | Most important
    1. How to think logically
    2. Data Structure
    3. Basic algorithms
    *Project based learning and Solving problems and Experimenting* - best way to learn. May also increase communication skill.
    Important tips:
    1. Start so small it's stupid not to do it. Do it in chunks. Break down the project into many small pieces and solve/build it little by little.
    2. Build for others. Motivation.
    3. Work in groups.
    4. Have an accountability buddy.

    The hard part for me is knowing what kind of project is actually a good level that is not too demanding. I get a little paralyzed by the thought of an idea that ends up being much more than I could handle.

    A lady told me that she learned Python 🐍 withing 4 days. I mean how...what I believe that, computer languages are like normal language...knowing the grammar and vocab of a language can help us to say something like "I eat food" but it won't help us to write literature, for that we need to practice and assimilate the language...same is for programming I think...although I may be wrong since I am not a cs student
