Please make a documentary on a live project 🙏🏼. How you spoke to the client and understood the request. How you created wireframe. How you designed database. How you built entire project. Etc.
"always try to be a student and a teacher" - that's a good quote. Something which has helped me learn to code is iterative learning. I go all out learning a language for two weeks or six weeks, then I switch to another topic or focus on exercising for a month. I stole this idea from the concept of Agile project management and it has served me well. After three or five iterations, you are in that sweet spot of learning which feels great. This is speaking as a hobbyist.
@@kokodev3719 The thing is that I use what I learn in between those "learning sprints", so yeah, you're right, and for me everything in life is such. use it or lose it. it's very rarely the case where we don't use knowledge and yet retain it. happy coding
I am just starting out coding React with a Node JS backend which requests information from another API, and the sense of achievement when that requested information appears on the webpage is immense!! So totally agree with the content of this video..
+5000. I don't know how many times I come across know it all types or people who pretend to know it all, or think they create job security by holding back information not knowing if they die tomorrow, someone needs to step in. True development is not just being able to figuring out how to solve a problem or puzzle, but sharing that knowledge. Never assume you know everything, because you don't. And always be able to take in information from others, even if it is not correct, it is still a learning experience. Tech changes, and adapting and learning it how you progress and build you skill and never take anything personal.
Thank you. I have been trying to really focus on the fundamentals. This field of tech moves so fast that its easy to feel left behind if you don't jump into the trendy frameworks and stuff. But it's worth it to study the fundamentals for a while. Its worth it. It makes it easier to pick up the abstractions or any stuff that's built on top of the fundamentals.
Yeah and there are fundamentals to everything. For example, understanding the fundamentals of HTTP will help you with ANY language/framework. Learning HTTP is much more valuable than just learning the syntax of an Express server. Some people don't understand this. Learn what is happening "under the hood"
The Harvard CS50 course (online and free) is worth following along with, you get some idea of the fundamentals within computers themselves e.g. binary. There's even a MOOC called Nand-to-Tetris that goes right from the transistor level upwards until you've built a working game. I think it's worth understanding these things, even to just a shallow depth, as it helps you feel a little less like you're in the middle of a boundless ocean.
@@thatoneuser8600 The MDN docs is generally an excellent reference. Traversy Media has a crash course on HTTP which is worth watching. The CORS MDN HTTP docs are worth checking out.
I totally agree with you. Fundamentals and theory of programming is definaly something to focus on at the beginning. With that knowledge, you are not learning a language or framework, but the tools that will allow you to pick up any language in a matter of hours.
If you wanna be good in web dev apart from programming concepts itself, I strongly recommend getting knowledge of network. Not saying to go and do CCNA or something, but I would say Cisco trainings, books and materials are one of best to get familiar with networking. And other this is OS concepts. Again I don't say you must go and start writing compilers etc. Finally also there is database concept. "The relational model for database management " book is free. Although it's quite old it's still one of the best I could advise to read. Personally I have straight close to metal background as electronic/computer engineer with embedded system design, but I don't say one should start from there, although it can help quite a bit especially when it comes to back end stuff and IoT, as you will know communication protocols. Not only networking. If I would have to advise one to read any books I would say: "Operating system concepts"- any edition would be good but get as latest as possible. "Understanding Linux kernel" again it's 1000 pages and I don't expect you to go whole way, but read at lest introduction chapters. Also DB book I mentioned above. People often talk about environment and they think about client or server, but often forget that OS (even for server) is environment also and whole network as well.
hey brad, i'm also in recovery! you were the first person I bought courses from a few months back (html/css). sometimes I want to quit because I feel like I've destroyed my life already and I'm not cut out for this, but knowing that you went through something similar in the past is incredibly inspiring and motivating. thank you :)
You are cut out for this. I can't tell you how many times I felt that way. I still do some days. It may never go away. I have learned to tell that part of me to shut the f*ck up lol. You will too. Believe me, I did so much drugs and harmed my body and brain when I was younger. That can all recover.
@@TraversyMedia I'm so grateful I found your channel. Our bodies are always healing; we are more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. You have inspired so many people with the adversity you've faced. Much love from Canada.
You have no idea how often i had this feeling that I have already irreparably destroyed my life and health did not allow me to follow the path that I really wanted. But the very thirst to do something says that you have talent. And then I thought, if for so many years and troubles this idea of becoming a developer does not gone away and has not died yet, then i must do it. And I got up at 40+ and started doing. I've been doing this for a year now. And I quit smoking according to Allen Carr's book The only way to stop smoking forever. I advise everyone who has gone through this. God bless us.
Already good with HTML and CSS (learnt from your videos years ago) but still purchased 2 of your starter courses last month just to make sure I didn't miss anything fundamentals concerned. Thanks Brad
I appreciate your real talk. We all have moments where we want to smash the monitor but educators rarely acknowledge that frustration. Knowing I'm not the only one feeling that way makes me feel better when my brain does want to explode.
Be a lifetime learner not just in technology but in life . This will never fail you, if nothing else it will give you lifetime of enjoyment and feel relaxed within yourself
@@NishantCosmos You discover that every decision that you make has its pros and cons. From naming a variable when coding to choosing between a monolith or microservice architecture for your project. After these years, you see more clearly "the best" option/tool for that moment. Because there is no "the right" solution, there is no "silver bullet" in IT.
Thank you so much, Brad. I went from not even knowing what html was six months ago to being able to design full websites, all thanks to you and your videos.
Brad is a great teacher. His style of teaching makes writing of code simple. He has a good organisation of code. I have gained much more from him compared to other tutors. He is so vast and confident. What a great programmer he is!
I started learning PHP and JS because I wanted to learn the fundamentals first. My peers were jumping into Vue, Laravel, Flutter and such. Watching them struggle with basic problems that could have been fixed by just understanding the fundamentals makes me thankful for the path I chose. My only problem would be getting attached to whatever I learned and being afraid of new things.
Thanks for being honest man. No ones does what you do. You are a billionaire in heart 💓. You think from every individual perspective and has been always down to earth.
Thank you for this. As a fellow recovering addict I can relate to the struggles. I'm a bit further behind you but slowly and steadily getting there. Hats off to your amazing turn-around operation. You are definitely someone to look up to today.
When I learn a new language it comes down to this (and you learn it in this order): 1. How do I store information (variables/ types/reference vs. value ei. a=2, b="howdy!", c=a) Can you store strings? Can you set a variable to another variable?Does i copy the value or a reference to itself, etc). 2. How do I compare information (conditions, Does a=b, ab, a>b, a
When it comes to these type of videos, I tend to listen but not watch. However, this video was something else. It seemed like I had one-on-one session with you and you were talking to me directly. Also, the room ambient was calming and relaxing. Great quality. You really tend to stick out of the crowd with the way you create content and I appreciate it!
100%... Even after 20+ years I'm still always learning. With the amount of programming concepts, different algorithms, and different problems with different solutions, it's impossible for a single programmer to know all of it.
From what I can tell, you don't need to memorize how to implement data structures and algorithms, do you? You just need to know their use cases: when to use them, when not to use them, so that when you insert it into the codebase for optimization purposes, you can just look up a standard library or library implementation. Then you run the profiler and see if it helped your performance. If it hurt performance, take it out; if it helped, keep it and see what you can do from there to make it faster if you still need to.
Brad I am gonna be thanking you all year🙏 . I got a job almost immediately after my 1year youth service (something we do here in Nigeria ) , in a very well established company here and my transition has been for the most part smooth and it's partly thanks to your tutorials and guides . being a kid (basically) and getting this kinda job in Nigeria ain't no joke ...but you figuratively held my hands through the storms . Ekushe (well-done )
Congrats bro...am from Nigeria too and am a few months into my journey,is there anyway I can contact you, cause I really need like a mentor nigeria .. tank you very much.
Thank you brad . You can treat anxiety and panic attack with b3 vitamin and magnesium glycinate and vitamin d and sleeping night with no light plus working out a bit . 🙂
This is a timely video for me, as I'm in full developer growth mode (just been made redundant). I have so much on my plate that I want to learn, so getting to the fundamentals had been a life saver. And Brad, your Crash Course vids have been really great at getting me on the path.
When I first got into programming I spent a good year just learning OOP fundementals with Java & I can say after that my learning accelerated & everything became so much easier to learn.
Brad, you're one of the best instructors I've ever seen, I really learnt a lot stuff of techs from you and now I'm working as a Frontend Developer in a big company thanks man for all your effort, I'm really glad to hear your tut today, good job as usual. Keep going, man.
I just wanted to say thank you. You have been working as a coder for about nine months now. I work for a great team, and you were part of that. You teach in a very approachable style. You show mistakes. You take about your life challenges and demands. Your sincerity has always kept me coming back for content.
I just said thanks a lot I found this video just in time. I couldn't agree more with what you said. In my own struggles to learn development by myself, I ended being not even pushed forward in my learnings. This is the best advice so far I have heard from a developer.
I love his honesty about tutorials and being only half the battle to learning a particular language/concept. Tutorials are great - and I typically will use a tutorial (usually a crash course) as a starting point, as I think it both gives a solid foundation to build off of, and also gives some great intuition in a relatively short amount of time about if the topic is what you need to solve a particular problem. If it is, then the compacted content in the tutorial will usually put things into context for myself when I go off and read docs/open source projects/etc. So 100% agree with Brad's comments here!
I am feeling proud that you are my teacher. I learnt from your videos when I was struggling to figure out where I should start from. You gave me the path with your easy methods, Building projects with explaining each minor step and details. Sometimes I miss you on the video on your channel. I know it has grown bigger and it is business now. But no one can teach like you.
'Immerse yourself into learning' is the tip I would give to anyone nowadays. Even turn off your phone, create new user in your windows so its gonna be only programming stuff on a pulpit, if possible get a separate place/office/room to focus only on this. Focusing only on learning helped me a lot. And if you enjoy it, your time will pass on like while gaming or something. Way too fast :)
1] focus on the fundamentals 2]study the docs 3] learn from other people or from others people's code 4] go beyond the tutorials apply your own mind and know your own learning routes 5] immerse yourself in learning 6] get into a flow state when doing code 7] never be known it all person its all worth it . keep walking
Golden words and absolutely correct things you say to people. You need to learn all your life, this is the enjoyment - strive for something more, you can’t stand still. Thank you very much for your lessons!
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! I just went through your JavaScript class a few months back. I was just basically making sure I wasn't missing anything. I did it through Safari Books Online (video courses). I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE JACKED!! Your voice did not let on. Anyway, I'm starting your Angular course now. Thanks for all the good work.
On a personal note... I have been watching you for a long time and we have actually conversed a couple of times; the grey works on you! Very distinguished. Much respect.
Always a pleasure watching your videos,… I must say, you were one of my motivation sources… Some time ago, I switched my career actually. I never got any computer science degree but watching your videos always helped me stay on track, and it’s been six months now working as a full time software developer. Thanks and keep doing it,… 🙏
I think your spot on. Even the thought of knowing it all scares me! Not possible, others I've encountered expressing this condition. Life just teaches us all eventually. Great talk, thanks.
What's helped me the most if getting a job where what I want to learn can be utilized. I've been doing a lot with C# and PowerShell because I can use it at home and at work. Learning at home is pure will, while at work, I can learn faster because I know I'm being useful.
Great tips brad! Personally, I found the best thing for me was to make side project after side project. I woul get obsessed with them and stuff so many features in that I learnt how to make a lot of really cool things.
As someone who is just getting into programming, in and the grind of learning, I like what you said about always being a student and a teacher. That resonated with me. Great video, thanks man.
That thing about the short attention span is very very scary indeed. As Naval Ravicant said: "Once the Internet came along, I think it destroyed everyone’s attention span. Now all of humanity’s works are available to you at any given time and you’re being interrupted constantly. Our attention span goes down, our ability to focus goes down." Concentration is like a muscle that requires regular exercise to strengthen. So, the advice you provided is a solid one. It really helps, and it grows as times passes. Thanks for another excellent advice.
I just had a Web Development exam (i'm in college). I aced my grade and had no issues with the course. You helped alot, considering that your channel covered all the topics of the class. Whenever anyone asks me about a good web course, i always recommend this channel. Best wishes ! 😁
Please share those kinds of things every once in a while. And also how you learn so fast those technologies in no time and create a tutorial about it. I am planning on creating tutorials, but I need some knowledge to learn. When you are looking for ideas please consider about a video about how to create a programming tutorials. Maybe it could contain how to learn a small topic, how to take notes, then how to create videos, then taking those videos and doing post production on voice, on videos and so on. I know there are tons of other videos, but you are one of the role model for some people including me. Your teaching style, personality play a big role in learning stuff from you. You are different. Thank you for doing what you love to do despite some burnouts. Love you. Greetings from Azerbaijan!
incredible again, thanks, be always a studen and a teacher, that is the only way kind feel that moment when you just wanna smash the monitor but remember that, you are about to smash your Goal(The and and only PC to act us a ride) and then you smash the Table/desk instead😌
You're one of the best mentor Brad, your HTML crash course was the first video I watched 2 years ago when I started my web development journey, and now I've proud of myself what I've achieved and I never back down to help those people who wanna start this journey like me. You've been a great help sir, Love you and your passion for teaching.
hello sir, please remember from the new year's video, you mentioned to release a ticketing web application using MERN technology. This is a kind reminder, cause i've been anticipating the course since that day. Thank you for your time.
About reading the documentation: I'd add READ THE TABLE OF CONTENT FIRST. Seriously - there's often that tendancy to dive into a specific section right away. But looking at the TOC gives you a general idea of what's in there, gives you the big picture. I've found that really helpful.
Damn everytime i hear the theme song on the intro i feel satisfied man.. Your pieces of advice and tutorials really got me going. God bless you man. 🙏🏾
I stumbled on to these videos, and they seem to be very complete and created in a way that I can absorb the knowledge. I have stuck with one tutorial company for a while, but a fresh perspective may be what I need to move ahead as a soon to be developer!
Thanks Brad I almost lost it because I wanted leave the fundamentals and rush for projects..... I think I have a reason to get back to the fundamentals
I have been watching your videos for a very long time. And thanks to you and others who share their content on UA-cam, I've become a pretty decent programmer. I wanted to say a big thank you for that. Of course I also read a lot of documentation but watching videos makes me feel like I'm part of a cool community. Thanks also for this video and have a nice week Best regards from Germany JP Behrens
I'm an ex addict myself and dude..you ain't wrong. I get a mad rush learning something new or when you hit run and everything works. To be honest the amount of time I've put into coding has ment I'm not putting time into anything negative. It's given me focus and a sense of direction for the first time in my life.
learning how to code is the easiest thing. but knowing what to learn and where to get advanced practical materials how to use gadgets docs and APIs is the key. if you know onw language you basically can learn any language in less than a week. maybe 2-3 days
This video was actually super helpful. Like the tip about looking at the docs and other people's code. Thank you. It does really give you high. I've really enjoyed learning this stuff.
Please make a documentary on a live project 🙏🏼. How you spoke to the client and understood the request. How you created wireframe. How you designed database. How you built entire project. Etc.
I'd love to see that, as I will be expected to be doing this in my new position within a few months.
"design database" what are you talking about...
Doing some tables in photoshop right
Great idea, would love to see that ✅
Yes please I want to see that too
Amazing idea

Awesome Brad. Keep it up.

You show mistakes. You take about your life challenges and demands. Your sincerity has always kept me coming back for content.
I'm doing my best and feel improving myself each day 💪💪💪
Man of courtesy. I learned too much from you. All advices were GOLD but "Immerse yourself in learning" was DIAMOND.
I just said thanks a lot I found this video just in time. I couldn't agree more with what you said. In my own struggles to learn development by myself, I ended being not even pushed forward in my learnings. This is the best advice so far I have heard from a developer.
I love his honesty about tutorials and being only half the battle to learning a particular language/concept. Tutorials are great - and I typically will use a tutorial (usually a crash course) as a starting point, as I think it both gives a solid foundation to build off of, and also gives some great intuition in a relatively short amount of time about if the topic is what you need to solve a particular problem. If it is, then the compacted content in the tutorial will usually put things into context for myself when I go off and read docs/open source projects/etc. So 100% agree with Brad's comments here!
I am feeling proud that you are my teacher. I learnt from your videos when I was struggling to figure out where I should start from. You gave me the path with your easy methods, Building projects with explaining each minor step and details. Sometimes I miss you on the video on your channel. I know it has grown bigger and it is business now. But no one can teach like you.
'Immerse yourself into learning' is the tip I would give to anyone nowadays. Even turn off your phone, create new user in your windows so its gonna be only programming stuff on a pulpit, if possible get a separate place/office/room to focus only on this. Focusing only on learning helped me a lot. And if you enjoy it, your time will pass on like while gaming or something. Way too fast :)
1] focus on the fundamentals
2]study the docs
3] learn from other people or from others people's code
4] go beyond the tutorials apply your own mind and know your own learning routes
5] immerse yourself in learning
6] get into a flow state when doing code
7] never be known it all person
its all worth it .
keep walking
Golden words and absolutely correct things you say to people.
You need to learn all your life, this is the enjoyment - strive for something more, you can’t stand still.
Thank you very much for your lessons!
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! I just went through your JavaScript class a few months back. I was just basically making sure I wasn't missing anything. I did it through Safari Books Online (video courses). I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE JACKED!! Your voice did not let on. Anyway, I'm starting your Angular course now. Thanks for all the good work.
The rush you get from getting something to work is no joke, I try to explain it to non-programmers how addictive it is and they don't get it :)
You continue to impress me with your insights. 'immerse yourself in learning ' is a great tip
On a personal note... I have been watching you for a long time and we have actually conversed a couple of times; the grey works on you! Very distinguished. Much respect.
Always a pleasure watching your videos,… I must say, you were one of my motivation sources… Some time ago, I switched my career actually. I never got any computer science degree but watching your videos always helped me stay on track, and it’s been six months now working as a full time software developer. Thanks and keep doing it,… 🙏
I think your spot on. Even the thought of knowing it all scares me! Not possible, others I've encountered expressing this condition. Life just teaches us all eventually. Great talk, thanks.
thank you brad you are my best teacher ever i had in my life
'Like this guy' :D
I love your approach of being straight-forward and transparent. Fundamentals matter, and documentation is the best place to start.
What's helped me the most if getting a job where what I want to learn can be utilized. I've been doing a lot with C# and PowerShell because I can use it at home and at work. Learning at home is pure will, while at work, I can learn faster because I know I'm being useful.
Great tips brad! Personally, I found the best thing for me was to make side project after side project. I woul get obsessed with them and stuff so many features in that I learnt how to make a lot of really cool things.
As someone who is just getting into programming, in and the grind of learning, I like what you said about always being a student and a teacher. That resonated with me. Great video, thanks man.
What really helped me was doing projects, non stop. The only way you can understand and learn any thing :D
Brad always put a pill of wisdom amidst the tech stuff in his videos. A special guy who deserves his achievements 👍
I love the Boston accent.
Golden advice as usual!
Thanks Brad!! Couldn' agree more, especially about reading the docs. I was learning Django Rest Framework and I noticed everything was in the docs.
That thing about the short attention span is very very scary indeed. As Naval Ravicant said: "Once the Internet came along, I think it destroyed everyone’s attention span. Now all of humanity’s works are available to you at any given time and you’re being interrupted constantly. Our attention span goes down, our ability to focus goes down."
Concentration is like a muscle that requires regular exercise to strengthen. So, the advice you provided is a solid one. It really helps, and it grows as times passes.
Thanks for another excellent advice.
I just had a Web Development exam (i'm in college). I aced my grade and had no issues with the course. You helped alot, considering that your channel covered all the topics of the class. Whenever anyone asks me about a good web course, i always recommend this channel. Best wishes ! 😁
Brad is genuinely a wonderful person; thank you so much for paving the way for us.
Thanks for the video, Brad. I like when you just have a sit down conversation with us from time to time. It's a nice change of pace
I highly recommend Brad videos, your contents are amazing, thanks for helping millions.
Respect to Mr.Brad from India 🙏
the feeling of figuring it out is the best feeling in the world
He is the most underrated but he inspires the most 🙂
Thanks Man for being upfront and truthful.
Spent a couple of years learning by myself and attended various occasions related to programming. I still learned tips from this video. Love this!
Great video. Thanks for being so down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and willing to share what you've learned!
Inspiring! I took a break from learning to be a developer but after hearing this I wanna get back on the horse.
Please share those kinds of things every once in a while.
And also how you learn so fast those technologies in no time and create a tutorial about it.
I am planning on creating tutorials, but I need some knowledge to learn.
When you are looking for ideas please consider about a video about how to create a programming tutorials.
Maybe it could contain how to learn a small topic, how to take notes, then how to create videos, then taking those videos and doing post production on voice, on videos and so on.
I know there are tons of other videos, but you are one of the role model for some people including me.
Your teaching style, personality play a big role in learning stuff from you. You are different. Thank you for doing what you love to do despite some burnouts. Love you. Greetings from Azerbaijan!
Thanks for the typs, Brad is the the teacher that i started to learn coding with his videos and courses
incredible again, thanks,
be always a studen and a teacher, that is the only way
kind feel that moment when you just wanna smash the monitor but remember that, you are about to smash your Goal(The and and only PC to act us a ride) and then you smash the Table/desk instead😌
Thank you Brad, I've already heard these Tips, but now it's coming from you, I gave it a chance to think on it.
Yeah If I just listed them without saying anything further, that is useless. I try and put my own spin on everything.
Lookin good! 😄
Thanks man. I have some stuff to workout with the camera. Right now everything is on auto. I like it though.
The immersion piece of this is so underrated, especially in current times
You're one of the best mentor Brad, your HTML crash course was the first video I watched 2 years ago when I started my web development journey, and now I've proud of myself what I've achieved and I never back down to help those people who wanna start this journey like me. You've been a great help sir, Love you and your passion for teaching.
Greetings from Indonesia! you are the inspiration of many programmers here, keep doing good stuff for us beginners. Thank You mr. Brad !
You are my inspiration and compassion
hello sir, please remember from the new year's video, you mentioned to release a ticketing web application using MERN technology.
This is a kind reminder, cause i've been anticipating the course since that day.
Thank you for your time.
About reading the documentation: I'd add READ THE TABLE OF CONTENT FIRST.
Seriously - there's often that tendancy to dive into a specific section right away. But looking at the TOC gives you a general idea of what's in there, gives you the big picture. I've found that really helpful.
Damn everytime i hear the theme song on the intro i feel satisfied man.. Your pieces of advice and tutorials really got me going. God bless you man. 🙏🏾
A lot of advice shared here. Thank you Brad. Glad to see you look up to your feet now. Stay blessed
I stumbled on to these videos, and they seem to be very complete and created in a way that I can absorb the knowledge. I have stuck with one tutorial company for a while, but a fresh perspective may be what I need to move ahead as a soon to be developer!
Thanks Brad I almost lost it because I wanted leave the fundamentals and rush for projects..... I think I have a reason to get back to the fundamentals
"Learning as a meditatiion session"! Worth trying.
I have been watching your videos for a very long time. And thanks to you and others who share their content on UA-cam, I've become a pretty decent programmer. I wanted to say a big thank you for that.
Of course I also read a lot of documentation but watching videos makes me feel like I'm part of a cool community.
Thanks also for this video and have a nice week
Best regards from Germany

I'm an ex addict myself and dude..you ain't wrong. I get a mad rush learning something new or when you hit run and everything works. To be honest the amount of time I've put into coding has ment I'm not putting time into anything negative. It's given me focus and a sense of direction for the first time in my life.
learning how to code is the easiest thing. but knowing what to learn and where to get advanced practical materials how to use gadgets docs and APIs is the key. if you know onw language you basically can learn any language in less than a week. maybe 2-3 days
This video was actually super helpful. Like the tip about looking at the docs and other people's code. Thank you.
It does really give you high. I've really enjoyed learning this stuff.
