Yes, you can go through the self-taught learning path as long as you have drive and motivation to learn. Like you said, there are a lot of bootcamps and online courses available that can help aspiring data professionals to equip themselves with all the skills they need. Great video, Tiffany!
Becoming a good software developer is a matter or persistence and keeping morale high when you hit a block in your learning path. How to deal with frustration is key
i was a computer programmer for 30 years.. i first learned programming while study for a maths degree in the uk where we had 2 hours a week assigned to computing.. for the first 6 months i just didnt get programming.. i was completely baffled by it.. then pretty much overnight the penny dropped and i immediately knew that was what i wanted to do and quickly developed the programming mindset.. with experience and confidence, learning different languages wasnt a massive problem as you always kept the same mindset.. ahh, getting paid for solving puzzles heh.. thanks for the video :)
Software development and programming requires logical thinking. But logical thinking is an ability that cannot be taught in school, only further enriched. 😅 You're great at explaining practical skills software development, Tiff! Keep posting these kinds of content, I love them. 🥰🤓😍
This is a high quality channel, every detail you mention is real, I love the sincerity of how you tell us about your experiences. Every time I feel stuck, I go back to watching your videos, and it's comforting to know that I can keep going. Congratulations on the great content you provide us.
Whats a good thing to also say is learning concepts of multiple languages helps a lot. If you know the concepts of multiple languages coding in them will come along. Google helps a lot and knowing the syntax of multiple languages helps to. Docs online help a lot to. Knowing the difference between scripting languages and object orientated programming etc. What languages have to be compiled before they can execute and work correctly. Knowing the backend helps a lot to. I use Linux for daily use, and server side Linux. I did have my resume through a server so I can access and use wherever and whoever wants to see it. I had started my portfolio on my server as well, until my HDD crashed on my server completely lost everything .
Really good info...I think some of these myths are old and just wont go away unfortunately. As you said...it just takes time and practice. On a side note, although I'm not a developer, I do write a lot of automation scripts....I use zero math. I hope people don't get turned off because of "math"....it's not necessary for everything.
As a self-taught developer who is about to cross the six figure barrier mark after only being in the job market for 1.5 years, I would tell anybody learning the skill of programming to understand that you will receive a payout much greater than you could imagine for all the hours it requires to invest in becoming a programmer (year(s)). Basic foundational knowledge of OOP and basic knowledge of things, a desire and willingness to learn, history of pushing to Git will all take you super far when trying to find a job. Don’t be discouraged by a job post it says we need X years amount of experience, no questions asked. If you hit hit 40%% of the requirements, I’d say go ahead and apply. You’re going to have to learn about 60% of the shit anew anyways.
Great advice. One suggestion I would make is don't pick a first language based on what is in high demand or offers the best salaries. Look for one that has the best resources available to you and is easy to learn. A simpler language will have fewer complications that will be confusing to you. Then have fun with it and try things out. As Tiff says, once you become comfortable in that first language you can pick up others easily. It's interesting to think about other activities besides math that are a good basis for programming. Anything that requires you to understand a system and build something according to those rules would be good. E.g. music, writing, architecture, .... But I still don't understand why doesn't everyone love math.
[on #5] just go for the one that you're most likely to do well. there are those who like python, but don't like javascript. there are those who like java, but don't like c++.
Good stuff. Impostor syndrome can be quite intimidating when starting out as a developer. I want to learn back end development. What's the best way to go about it?
Definitely! And honestly to just dive in! I would start with a course ... udemy has great ones! And go from there. Small steps will lead to big results with it!
thank you for all the information. the way you talk about dev is so relaxing for me,I studied mechnical engineering and wanna change the major and its so stessful sometimes..listening to you makes me confident in my juorney ..thanks alot :)
In the third world countries it is hard to make carrier in teck but your video make me think about it because even free lanclancing is thought because have to make the entire project from start to finish only by your self
My wife and I, and two of our daughters are drinking up your videos and taking notes. We want to be a part of this field/profession. I work at a datacenter but this is not doing software engineering like you. You are an inspiration to us all and I am a Dad of 4 daughters...so I am pro-women on all things. Thank you for being a young woman that inspires the future of much younger women who look to you for what they can do vicariously through your UA-cam videos! You are truly a blessing!
There some criticism using JavaScript because it is hard to debug to identify coding error. How do you manage to use JavaScript if there is a error? Is it worth for me to practice JavaScript?
Strong maths skills would be beneficial when doing stuff like algorithms or if you're doing research into something new. Otherwise, you're really just converting your ideas into logic and using code to make them real.
Hi tiff Thanks for this video. I am sure that this content will inspire many people, you also explain it according to your experience. And I was wondering, can you tell us what tools we should learn for a frontend developer? Thank you!
"Learning how to code is like learning brain surgery", that's actually so true! Brain surgery is something you can learn, and coding is also something you can learn. You just need to take the relevant education. The code that you are going to be writing is the "brain" of the program you are trying to develop.
Perfect video! By the way, is MSI Modern A15 A10M-614XTR good for programming and a little bit of gaming? I want to buy this laptop for programming class in my university.
Real Talk!!! Do you have what it takes to become Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison ..... Tiffanny? Can you become one of those? lots of love
I am gonna attend the 6 month long coding bootcamp where they will be teaching full stack development..are six months enough to be a full stack developer?what else I need to learn after the bootcamp?
Thank you so much for this video! What do you think about Coursera? If I get the certificates and develop projects in a 1-year period, can I find a remote job in the USA? (I know nothing is guaranteed)
I disagree about best languages practice. I think beginners should start with C. It's what most OS's are written in and so are many other computer languages. Not saying C is the best language out there but you will defiantly have an appreciation for python, C#, JS, Java, PHP when learning C first...
@Justin batchelar now that I think about it, That's kind of been my journey. I started with Python, and then went to C. I hear C++ isn't all that more complicated being a super-set of C. I think my comment was more of a projection of what I wish I would have done. cheers.
@Justin batchelar That last sentence is amazing. Yeah, when you're right, you're right. And you're right. Being in the middle of my CS degree, languages seem to be converging into concept. The code doesn't matter as much as the logical design (IMO). Taking on assembly, java and helping a class with intro to python is an interesting combination. I love the challenge though. This space is never short of new things to learn...
To become a software developer you dont need to have devops skills. Typically it is the Devops role who focuses on that. Although having those skills are always beneficial.
Yes but having that post secondary education helps alot right? You may not need it but if they ever want proof of your education or credentials at least you have it! Are you able to make a 6 figure income in the tech world without the degree?
The tech world (in most companies) focuses on skillset not what kind of degree you have. Of course there is always exceptions but dont let not having a degree stop you!
Person don't need to be a genuis but, gifted it's one achelon lower on the inteligence scale. If they tell you it would gona be easy it's not but if you can make it's greate.
Hiiii how are u doing i love u so much i am ur number 1 fans and i wanna to ask u some thing Please can u teach us how to track some one Sms with out instaling any software From other country Please coz i am in problem

Well said! And thank you!
@Tiff, when I raise enough I am going to buy computers for my community.
Becoming a good software developer is a matter or persistence and keeping morale high when you hit a block in your learning path. How to deal with frustration is key
This is it! I’ve learned that you learn best when you apply!!

I want it too. I am practicing a Programming now. Like Java and Php
You got this!
Thanks Tiff, this gives me so much motivation. I have been putting off learning code for years. I will start this year
These are very true facts/myths. Someone who’s dedicated to one’s craft, can attain success in many different types of areas.

Build a website to hold all your future portfolio projects... Don't know how to write HTML, CSS and js? That's a good place to start...
You're my go to when I need motivation. You're awesome!
Thank you!! That is great to hear. You got this!
Thank for this video Tiff, you’re an inspiration for me 🥰
Very much appreciate the good information!
Tiffany, could you please offer some advice on managing software engineers, specifically multiple developers working on a single project?
thank you for all the information. the way you talk about dev is so relaxing for me,I studied mechnical engineering and wanna change the major and its so stessful sometimes..listening to you makes me confident in my juorney ..thanks alot :)
Motivation right here, people.
Thank you for the video. We all just have keep getting after it--come what may--day after day.

Happy to help!
@@TiffInTech thanks for replying it means a lot for me thanks once again.
Looking extra fierce today Tiffany! Thanks for the very informative vid!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Looking at this video thumbnail, I thought it's the trailer to the Ring 4 movie! 😁
Very Nice Summation, Sweetie; Thank You for The Information ~
@Tiff what PC is recommended for a person who is new in the field. Affordable for people coming from low income societies..
Thanks alot, the first few questions was all i needed to get answered
Glad to hear!
Hey, Tiff, I love your videos. These are amazingly helpful, but it would be great if your could add some timestamps in your video!
There some criticism using JavaScript because it is hard to debug to identify coding error. How do you manage to use JavaScript if there is a error? Is it worth for me to practice JavaScript?
Learn python first. Easiest to learn looks good on your resume and is very versatile.
Very true!
A Computer is very important
Here they are expensive
I am curious what areas/jobs are demanding in terms of strong math skills.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Strong maths skills would be beneficial when doing stuff like algorithms or if you're doing research into something new. Otherwise, you're really just converting your ideas into logic and using code to make them real.

Do you have any list or channel of the best roles that are not heavy involved on math? This is the biggest hang up I have
First one yay, and Tiffany nice hairstyle
yay! and thank you!!

how did you figure out that you wanted to pursue a more logical career over a creative one? this is where i am stuck
Thank you 🙏. Keep shining

Do I need to know DevOps to become a professional software developer?
To become a software developer you dont need to have devops skills. Typically it is the Devops role who focuses on that. Although having those skills are always beneficial.
@@TiffInTech Thank you
thanks excellents tips
You are most welcome!
2:49 We don't need a CS degree for Software Development, but we do need it for Software Engineering right?
You can study everything by your own.
Amazing 😃👍 .
Yes but having that post secondary education helps alot right? You may not need it but if they ever want proof of your education or credentials at least you have it! Are you able to make a 6 figure income in the tech world without the degree?

Answer no I don’t have what it takes, especially when I get a little older they will be looking for younger cheaper help. Then my job is gone😅
coding is a commodity nowadays really
Tiff n tech, before watching.......do you have to be exceptional at math?
hehe it is one of the myths I go through!
Nice video 👍
Thank you!💕
Amazing!
💕💕💕
on every interview they make you tecnichal questions? beacuse i dont like it
Usually at least in one round of the interviews it is technical!
@@TiffInTech but are they the typical invert me a binary tree questions?
