i’m 15 years old and honestly i think if i start learning how to become self taught now i might be prepared for whenever the day comes to apply in the future
Honestly starting early is the best thing you can do for yourself :) you're going to be way ahead compared to your peers! Feel free to check out my tutorial series 😊
@@CodewithVincenthello sir, I'm also a 15 years old student wanting to be a software engineering. I only have two questions, What course should i take? Should I go to BSIT, Computer Science or Direct to Software engineer. Also, I wanted to start learning how to code, what programming language should i learn first? Thank you
@@lorrainelauren9770Hi, I’m also a 15 year old like you and I had that question too. I would recommend getting into computer science because you can open a lot of opportunities in jobs with it. Like many good tech jobs require a computer science degree and you can also transition into another job if you’re unsatisfied with the current one.
@@lorrainelauren9770I m 17 atm and would highly recommend you to try harvards cs50 python, after that cs50 introduction to computer science. I think it will give you good structure for later (and you get a free certificate at the end of it). Python imo is the most friendly one but if you would like to make it your career one day, search up which planguage is mostly used in your country. Good luck!
This video is perfect. Straight to the point and clear information. I also like that you added a checklist - in my opinion, its like a mini road map for us to follow. Thank you very much for this video.
Start interviewing early. Every failed interview is a free peer-review on different skill sets you have, allowing you to quickly see where you are lacking and where you can focus more of your study time on. Not only that, but you begin to connect with recruiters and people in the industry who may be able to point you in other directions more suited for your skillset at the time. Good luck :)
Thank you Vincent. I took a tech bootcamp option for ux design, I enjoyed the structure but I agree, everything is self taught. Principles, Practice and Play/Work.
ughh.... it's not easy to be a self-taught programmer it took me a year and a half to learn DJango and React, yet there's still so much to learn and that is exciting part. but you are right no structure of where to start and what path to take, like everyone else I started Python, then when I tried Javascript, to me they are both similar, that is the advantage of learning Python because once you get the hang of it you almost would certainly be able to understand under prog language. IF you don't wanna waste your time and get a job quickly just go learn Javascript, you can never go wrong.
Yeah definitely not easy, but the most important thing to do is to get the fundamentals down. Once you have that, you can branch out to different languages 🙏
Thanks Vincent. This is helpful! One thing, let's say you've got basic/intermediate Python or JS knowledge. What kinds of projects should self-taught students start building to put in their portfolios? This is something that still seems very abstract to me as someone in that position. (I don't think PyGames are good portfolio pieces, but maybe I'm wrong!) Thanks!
Being self taught doesn't make you different in terms of projects. Pygames are good projects as well! The goal is to build stuff that can show off your skills to a potential employer. You can check out my other playlist as I walk you through projects and how to write a resume :)
I am doing a master's right now but, not in computer science. Already a certified engineering technologist with experience with internships in engineering. From this video, I decided to go the self-taught route since I already have certifications and internships. I just need to fluff my resume with projects and added training/refreshers like bootcamp/ztm.
@@CodewithVincent hey what do you think about the job market now days? do you think it's still worth it? also I've never done coding, do you think at my late 20's it's okay to try to become a computer science? thanks for the reply btw
Hello, I am 36 years old. Over a month I am very interested in coding. But I am, as you said in your video have zero experience in this field. After seeing your video I am excited to start, as you have motivated me. Currently I work as a Document Controller, with more than 10 years experience. But, you know after 36-40 nowhere to be hired as a document controller, cause most of the companies need young and female workers for this kind of jobs, honestly. Okay, I am motivated to start also I got free time to learn, let it take a year. But my question is - can I get a job, doesn't matter actually as a freelance or direct employee? This is the question, which I wonder. Thank you for great video.
Hey man, glad you found my video! Yes a lot of places have dropped the degree requirements. Hence, why people can get jobs from bootcamps / self-taught. Feel free to check out my coding bootcamp series to kick off your programming journey :)

Any advice on "The Odin Project"? which seems what most people recommend, and many people do actually land a job once they complete it. I just lost my job and started with it (used to study Python long time ago and now I'm super rusty), also since I am based in the UK, seems like most Junior roles are mainly for "Javascript" and hardly any for Python, unless you go for Data Science route. Would love to hear your advise on this, do you think following your links (freecode route) is a better option and slightly quicker?
Hey; so I've personally never done Odin project so I can't advise there, but I did hear good things about it. In regards to this video, I recommend starting with python because it's super easy to pick up, and then you can transition to JavaScript later on. Honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what resource you use. What matters is which one makes sense to you and which one you can commit to. Feel free to check out my tutorial series, it starts with python and ramps up to frontend development. Give it a try 😊
@@CodewithVincent I am actually looking for something with less text and more videos/explenation instead :) I will check it out! Thank you once again, keep up the good work.
I'm done bootcamping/self thought and okay with html, css, react and node Js but I'm only going to use the Skill now to gather money and further more in a college.
I have zero knowledge and zero experience in software engineering. I need this course to have a stable job and good income. So yeah, I will do self taught and follow the advice you gave. Thanks.
You definitely know what are you talking about. Which direction of software engineering do you recommend to choose? I tried frontend, and I don't love it. Then I tried iOS development with Swift and i love it. But vacancies a lot more for web developers than iOS developers. And now I'm wondering which one to choose? Maybe choose Android development or backend with Java?
My recommendation is to do what you love. Stop switching roles based on some rumours you have heard about vacancies. If you like iOS, then go down that path. There are actually a lot of openings for iOS I know personally because I get reached out for positions all the time. Now it doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the whole stack of backend and frontend, it will definitely make you a stronger hire! Good luck :)
Awesome. Thank you for the list of things to learn for getting started. Do you have any references of things to learn to become the best? Like what is it that you still don't know, that you need to learn to become Google or Tesla skilled?
If you want to work at a Google or Tesla, I'd recommend focusing on interview prep, that's pretty much it. If you can pass their interviews you're hired! So focus on data structure and algorithm, that will train your thought process and make you better at problem solving
IAM 15 years old i want to learn coding to become software engineer but because of some personal issues i want to learn it by myself online so 😅 yeah simply i want to become software engineer without going university or paying to any college or university 😊
I am in a computer engineering degree, but our college isn't helpful. They tell us that if we know algorithms, database and operating systems we'll crack all interviews but how do we get shortlisted??? Also what skills do I need? Web development? Machine learning? I'm so lost what to do. I have a year left and I have not started on any personal skills like web dev and ML, my resume is empty
Hey! The skills you need really depend on what you're interested in working on. But in general, yes what they said is true. All you really need is algorithms and data structures. In school I didn't learn web development or machine learning. I picked these up myself and applied for internships. So my recommendation for you, is to go venture out. Build some side projects whether it be a website, a machine learning model, etc and slap that on a resume and apply for an internship. If you want to get started with some basic projects, feel free to check out my playlist!
I am a computer science student. Our school has a course for full stack web development. Do you think I should focus on web development(do practices and projects) until I got a job,or learn an additional mobile development at the same time to have higher chance of getting a job or internship? Currently my thought is just focusing on web development. What do you think of it?
Well it all depends :) if you're new to coding, then stick to one and get really good at it first. But yeah learning both mobile and web will open more doors. So do what makes sense for yourself, if you can handle both at once then go for it!
First of all very easy explanation very good video! Second ,my question is, I just hit 30,no experience at all with computers just know hot to use google lol! But I am determined to learn ,is it possible to do it by self though and get a job in future that way?
Yeah you're still young man :) if you do self taught you'll need lots of discipline to keep yourself in check. I'd recommend you check out my bootcamp series! 1 video a day and self study would be really good :)
I've been counting the interviews that I'm failed, it's so painful.. I'm trying my best to get a front-end developer job, the fact of chatgpt has been released made me freakout totally and I'm a little distant of applying for jobs.. I decided to specialized to feel ready to apply jobs.
Hey the fact that you are getting interviews is a good sign! My advice would be to figure out what you need to work on in terms of interviewing. Whether it's a knowledge gap, nervousness, etc. Once you figure that out, just focus on improving that skill! Good luck :)
@@metalzt no, the certificate means nothing. dont pay for it. As long as you get the knowledge from it, that's what youll need and then projects blah blah
Hello Vincent I am Joy from Germany. Can you coach my son? He is 12 year old. Please let me know how much you charge monthly. He want to learn to be a Software engineer. I really hope to hear from you soon, thank you Vicente. (Joy) from Germany
you said learn python first then you said learn web dev first which would mean learning JS first. What do you recommend for someone has zero exp and is willing to focus up to 2 hours a day for this? My hunch is to learn JS first.
I recommend python to help getting your brain thinking in code. If you're on a time crunch, then go for JavaScript. If you check out my playlist you can learn most of the python fundamentals pretty quick 😎
I started off by learning computer science. Then I applied for an internship as a software engineer generalist. In this role, I got to work on the company's iOS App. At the time, I only knew python, and a bit of java.
I have a question, there are lots of job requirements that say you have to have a bachelors or masters degree in CS. Should you ignore this when applying to the job?
Yes, I would say that you should ignore it. Worse case, you'll get a rejection. But that's totally fine, because you'll be applying to over 100s of jobs!
@@CodewithVincent So why is everyone telling me I need a degree? I went to a developers/software convention in San Francisco and people there that I spoke to told me I need a degree. Job listings say you need a degree. Who is the one who is full of dookie? You or them? I am going to try to get a job as a software engineer without a degree. Because I am a dreamer and I want to believe. If reality bodyslams me and proves to me that I need a degree then I will have to get one.
Hello, my name is Timur, I'm from Ukraine. Thank you for the video. I am very worried about the question, can I get a job without having such an education?
@@CodewithVincent I look at curriculums at universities. I have a associate degree in Social Science. It seems that I can get call center jobs with it. Universities teaches algorithms. Self taught and bootcamp does takes time. Better off university to get computer science concepts.
I work a regular 9-5. Work life balance is determined by yourself. It is your choice if you want to work hard and go for promotions, or if you want to just do the required work and live your life. In terms of how much I earn, I have videos where I share my salary progression. Cheers
I just graduated college with a Bachelors in CS but i never did any internships or have any real world experience. I also dont feel like I learned much/ forgot the things I learned during college :( do you have any advice for someone like me.
Hey! So my big recommendation here is to do PROJECTS to boost your resume. Also, if we learned the same stuff in CS, I'm gonna assume they didn't really teach you how to build applications. So I'd highly recommend starting! If you forgot stuff, feel free to check out my bootcamp series, it should be a quick refresher and help you build projects :) And since you already have a degree, I'd recommend you start applying for jobs after you finish 1 small project, and continue to build as you apply!
Hey Vincent, I wanna thank you for all of this information,, you're helping lots of people here. IF you don't mind me asking I have but one question, if I could have a word from you on this, I would really appreciate it from the bottom of my hearth: Im studying a career on CS, should be employable on the 3rd year, and Im starting a 7 Month bootcamp about web developement. But I am unsure if I want to dedicate myself to web dev, I'd rather aim for software developement from the ground up, is it unwise/ignorant for me to do this, and should I instead focus on learning web dev first, even if I am not as interested in webdev than I am in software dev?. Is it worth it to learn web dev first, be employable, and have a good base as a web dev, only for then start learning software developement? I'm confused on what would the best approach for me would be having in mind that I'm starting from the basics and I have software developement as my goal.
At the end of the day it depends on your situation. Do you have the finances to continue learning without getting paid? If yes, then take your time and learn both. But if you're strapped on cash, and need a job ASAP, then focus on your web dev bootcamp and land a job first. Nonetheless, I can't make this decision for you. Theres nothing wrong with web development and since it sounds like you're new to the field, I'd say give it a try and see whether you like it. Good luck 😊 feel free to join the discord~
Think of it this way. You go to a foreign country and you use a translator app to help you communicate. It works for some stuff, but it's not going to be able to do everything for you. If you know the language yourself, you'll be able to go deeper and actually find mistakes in the translation
Hmmm I'd say consistency is key. If you can give 1-2 hours a day of pure focus time. You can definitely learn everything and get a portfolio ready by 18 :) feel free to follow my bootcamp series
What should I do because I have 0 friends my python advance course will be finished in 15days after that I don't know what to do as I'm thinking I should go through JavaScript? Any suggestion I'm on my own want to be a self taught programmer?
You can check my UA-cam playlist for intro to JavaScript. Also try to join a community on discord or twitter where you can chat with other like minded people :)
Isn't php better when it comes to web development? i already know python and im not sure if that's enough or i should learn php aswell to maximize my chances of getting a job, please answer :)
In my experience, I see more job postings for JS :) and I personally enjoy using JS > PHP. If you know python well, you can definitely land a job with just python. I'd recommend you check out my video on resumes and my other video on whether you are job ready!
@@CodewithVincent u don't have to tell me to check your videos, good content doesn"t need advertising haha i was lost on which road to take until i watched this video, and now it's time to start the hard work thank u and good luck with your youtube channel, u deserve more recognition :)

thanks for sharing I finished my high school this year so i dont know what should i learn of major
Do you recommend the self-taught or starting with the free bootcamps you upload it in your channel
Self taught just means learning on your own. Yeah id recommend checking out my Bootcamp, its free and you can learn at your own pace 😁
AMAZING video
Thanks!
I am a computer science student. Our school has a course for full stack web development. Do you think I should focus on web development(do practices and projects) until I got a job,or learn an additional mobile development at the same time to have higher chance of getting a job or internship? Currently my thought is just focusing on web development. What do you think of it?
Well it all depends :) if you're new to coding, then stick to one and get really good at it first. But yeah learning both mobile and web will open more doors. So do what makes sense for yourself, if you can handle both at once then go for it!
First of all very easy explanation very good video!
Second ,my question is, I just hit 30,no experience at all with computers just know hot to use google lol! But I am determined to learn ,is it possible to do it by self though and get a job in future that way?
Yeah you're still young man :) if you do self taught you'll need lots of discipline to keep yourself in check. I'd recommend you check out my bootcamp series! 1 video a day and self study would be really good :)
Thank you very much,I will do that 👍
I've been counting the interviews that I'm failed, it's so painful.. I'm trying my best to get a front-end developer job, the fact of chatgpt has been released made me freakout totally and I'm a little distant of applying for jobs.. I decided to specialized to feel ready to apply jobs.
I'm a brazillian guy, I apologize for my english..
Thanks for sharing all this knowledges in this video!
Hey the fact that you are getting interviews is a good sign! My advice would be to figure out what you need to work on in terms of interviewing. Whether it's a knowledge gap, nervousness, etc. Once you figure that out, just focus on improving that skill! Good luck :)
Thanks again..
One question, if you do the CS50 at Harvard, do you get some kind of diploma or certificate or is it just for starting out basically ?
If I recall, you can get a certificate if you pay. But what's more important is the knowledge you gain from it (which is free)
@@CodewithVincent Of course, but I reckon a certificate from Harvard would look good in any application :D
@@metalzt I guess, but since this certificate is so easily accessible, it doesn't hold as much weight if you get what I mean :)
@@metalzt no, the certificate means nothing. dont pay for it. As long as you get the knowledge from it, that's what youll need and then projects blah blah

The things I said here are still applicable ☺️
Hello Vincent I am Joy from Germany. Can you coach my son? He is 12 year old. Please let me know how much you charge monthly. He want to learn to be a Software engineer. I really hope to hear from you soon, thank you Vicente. (Joy) from Germany
Hey Joy, sorry I don't do personal coaching
you said learn python first then you said learn web dev first which would mean learning JS first. What do you recommend for someone has zero exp and is willing to focus up to 2 hours a day for this? My hunch is to learn JS first.
I recommend python to help getting your brain thinking in code. If you're on a time crunch, then go for JavaScript. If you check out my playlist you can learn most of the python fundamentals pretty quick 😎
How you become iOS engineer??? How many languages do you know ??? Which language you are specialize in ???
I started off by learning computer science. Then I applied for an internship as a software engineer generalist. In this role, I got to work on the company's iOS App. At the time, I only knew python, and a bit of java.
I have a question, there are lots of job requirements that say you have to have a bachelors or masters degree in CS. Should you ignore this when applying to the job?
Yes, I would say that you should ignore it. Worse case, you'll get a rejection. But that's totally fine, because you'll be applying to over 100s of jobs!
@@CodewithVincent thank you very much!
Hate the current job!
Hopefully you can find some enjoyment in coding ❤️
Is anyone here a software engineer without a degree?? Did you actually do it?
I've worked with many software engineers without a degree 😊
@@CodewithVincent
So why is everyone telling me I need a degree? I went to a developers/software convention in San Francisco and people there that I spoke to told me I need a degree. Job listings say you need a degree. Who is the one who is full of dookie? You or them? I am going to try to get a job as a software engineer without a degree. Because I am a dreamer and I want to believe. If reality bodyslams me and proves to me that I need a degree then I will have to get one.
Hello, my name is Timur, I'm from Ukraine. Thank you for the video. I am very worried about the question, can I get a job without having such an education?
I'm not familiar with the market in Ukraine. But in NA being self-taught / taking a bootcamp is good enough to land a job in the field.
My first day with an interest about becoming an SE I have no experience at all but I’ll reply to this comment in time to update.
I will be waiting for your return :) feel free to check out my free coding bootcamp to kick start your journey!
How's it been coming along?
Perfect❤
👌
Probably bachelor degree is best. I look up internships. Most companies want you to have CS degree or in college for it.
Yes if you want to do internships you need to be enrolled in school.
@@CodewithVincent I look at curriculums at universities. I have a associate degree in Social Science. It seems that I can get call center jobs with it. Universities teaches algorithms. Self taught and bootcamp does takes time. Better off university to get computer science concepts.
@@MsTori_boss not really, you can learn all of this on your own 🙌.
Hey, so how long do you work as a software engineer? How much do you earn? Does it have a good work life balance?
I work a regular 9-5. Work life balance is determined by yourself. It is your choice if you want to work hard and go for promotions, or if you want to just do the required work and live your life. In terms of how much I earn, I have videos where I share my salary progression. Cheers
I just graduated college with a Bachelors in CS but i never did any internships or have any real world experience. I also dont feel like I learned much/ forgot the things I learned during college :( do you have any advice for someone like me.
Hey! So my big recommendation here is to do PROJECTS to boost your resume. Also, if we learned the same stuff in CS, I'm gonna assume they didn't really teach you how to build applications. So I'd highly recommend starting! If you forgot stuff, feel free to check out my bootcamp series, it should be a quick refresher and help you build projects :) And since you already have a degree, I'd recommend you start applying for jobs after you finish 1 small project, and continue to build as you apply!
Thank you
You're welcome!
Hey Vincent, I wanna thank you for all of this information,, you're helping lots of people here. IF you don't mind me asking I have but one question, if I could have a word from you on this, I would really appreciate it from the bottom of my hearth: Im studying a career on CS, should be employable on the 3rd year, and Im starting a 7 Month bootcamp about web developement. But I am unsure if I want to dedicate myself to web dev, I'd rather aim for software developement from the ground up, is it unwise/ignorant for me to do this, and should I instead focus on learning web dev first, even if I am not as interested in webdev than I am in software dev?. Is it worth it to learn web dev first, be employable, and have a good base as a web dev, only for then start learning software developement? I'm confused on what would the best approach for me would be having in mind that I'm starting from the basics and I have software developement as my goal.
At the end of the day it depends on your situation. Do you have the finances to continue learning without getting paid? If yes, then take your time and learn both. But if you're strapped on cash, and need a job ASAP, then focus on your web dev bootcamp and land a job first. Nonetheless, I can't make this decision for you. Theres nothing wrong with web development and since it sounds like you're new to the field, I'd say give it a try and see whether you like it. Good luck 😊 feel free to join the discord~
@@CodewithVincent thank you so much for your response!
I have a very important question: How learning software dev will change after Chatgpt and the explosion of the AI ???
Think of it this way. You go to a foreign country and you use a translator app to help you communicate. It works for some stuff, but it's not going to be able to do everything for you. If you know the language yourself, you'll be able to go deeper and actually find mistakes in the translation
Nice example, so even AI is not more than a tool 🛠👍
I'm 16 now and I want to become a software engineer self thaught before I'm 18, how many hours a day would you recommend?
Hmmm I'd say consistency is key. If you can give 1-2 hours a day of pure focus time. You can definitely learn everything and get a portfolio ready by 18 :) feel free to follow my bootcamp series
@@CodewithVincent 2 hours a day is definitely doable. Thanks for the quick response
@@505m-s4p make sure to take breaks as well! Those help when you can't figure out a problem :) Merry Christmas
@@CodewithVincent Will do, Merry Christmas
What should I do because I have 0 friends my python advance course will be finished in 15days after that I don't know what to do as I'm thinking I should go through JavaScript? Any suggestion I'm on my own want to be a self taught programmer?
You can check my UA-cam playlist for intro to JavaScript. Also try to join a community on discord or twitter where you can chat with other like minded people :)
Isn't php better when it comes to web development? i already know python and im not sure if that's enough or i should learn php aswell to maximize my chances of getting a job, please answer :)
In my experience, I see more job postings for JS :) and I personally enjoy using JS > PHP.
If you know python well, you can definitely land a job with just python. I'd recommend you check out my video on resumes and my other video on whether you are job ready!
@@CodewithVincent u don't have to tell me to check your videos, good content doesn"t need advertising haha
i was lost on which road to take until i watched this video, and now it's time to start the hard work
thank u and good luck with your youtube channel, u deserve more recognition :)
@@jotaroisdarius1918 haha good luck on your journey! Well in today's world when there's an overload of information, advertisement is definitely important :(
