    Training for a cert gets you knowledge. You then use this knowledge to gain experience. You then show both at interview stage. This has the third effect of showing you can analyse where you are, where you want to go, how to get there, and get it done.

      Probably LeetCode or HackerRank could help you, so when the ∞ years of experience s h|t comes out, you'll outplay recruiters in order to get that job.

      A lot of the people in US at least that write job descriptions for web development don't know what they're talking about when it comes to what is needed. Apply anyway as long as you know/think you can get the job done. The worst they can say is no.

      @@Loki_Dokie That's why in the US especially, you should always ignore lists of reqs and just apply anyway even if they're asking for something you don't have. There is simply no way to tell if these are actual reqs or if the recruiter wrote a wishlist or is even re-using a list of random reqs that don't actually have anything to do with the job.

    I question the way these courses are advertised. I do data analysis and have for decades. I have a degree in the subject matter that I'm analysing and a degree in computer science. I use online courses to keep my skills modern, but I question the capacity for doing analysis with just the technical skill without the subject matter knowledge.

      @@GeoffryGifari yes help out family business or find very easy projects like a baggel shop you create the website and infrastructure for orders. This will make a very interesting conversation with business owners and you get hired by networking. Any project that helps make money online even if it's a very measly amount still shows you're a capable programmer that has potential.

    Love your channel! Subscribed a couple Years ago. I’m actually struggling to take my python skills to the next level. What do you recommend for us middle of the road learners. The ones that know how to work with strings, files, build functions, understand scope, etc. i.e. know the basics pretty well but, maybe just need that next level?
    What would be a starting point for getting out of the “Intro to python” starter course “while loop”? Can’t find Ctrl-C, my Mental Processor is burning up from all the ways to install python, and concatenate 'Hello' + 'world'.
    Any recommendations?

    Then database design and sql. Think I want to be able to do a 5 normalisation.
    And lastly a 1 year master degree in data science.
