I came from ALX internship. I wish I had listened to this a year ago. It looks simple but makes a humongous difference in your learning Journey Thank you for this great video ❤
It is ALX that leads me to this video as it is a part of one of its projects. I am just having the first step in this track, so it would be very appreciated if you can supply me with some tips that can help me go through ALX software engineering program. Thanks in advance
I’ve been a programmer for over 40 years (yikes!) and I’ve had a successful career by all accounts. You’ve reminded me where I come from. I think part of the fun is solving the problems, or solving the puzzle, to see if I can do it, and then to see how others have done it. This is a great start to understanding what programming is about. We’ll done.
TFST (thanks for sharing this). 40 years? I thought you were 19. OMG. I've entered my Python "DataCamp" with my usual Steve-Rogers approach: (wobbling, fists up) Solving problems?" (wobbling) "I can do this all day!"
This has definitely put me more at ease with learning coding, shifting the focus from an overwhelming sense of "I have to learn everything", to a focus on utilising and developing my problem solving abilities.
I forgot why i switched from IT to Nursing. But after this year, I wanted to explore the programming field again. Your video was an encouragement and why I stopped pursuing IT. I took shortcuts and they hurt after I was stuck. This was my perspective. Thanks for the video. I look forward re-learning all these baby steps and find a way to reintegration nursing-programming.
@@saudahjimoh963 You will not regret it. Nursing is a thankless job and you earn scraps. At least with IT (plus you having a nursing background) you can work in informatics for health care. Plenty of my colleagues switch to infomatics or something related to IT-Nursing workspace.
Awesome vid that gives insight on learning how to code. I love that it's encouraging, especially when it comes to not knowing everything or memorizing anything.
Watching this video validates the grit growth mindset, learning is a continuous journey, don't lookout for shortcuts rather think outside the box. Thanks for sharing this insight.
I've learned so much in 6 minutes and I believe what you have helped me learn via this video will be instrumental in getting me where I wish to be one day. Thank you very much Stephanie (& Codecademy)! 🙌
Place left hand on the side of the jar. Make sure you have a nice firm grip around the jar. Then, extend your hand and fingers and lie your palm on the lid of the jar as close as possible. Start bending your fingers slightly, keep bending slightly until your fingers grasp the lid in a nice firm hold around the lid. If your palm lifts off the lid, that's okay as long as your hand and fingers have a nice firm hold on the lid. Start and gradually turn the lid in the direction counter to the threads of the jar in order to loosen the lid. Apply more force. Keep applying more force until the lid starts turning. Keep turning, keep turning, ... until the lid comes completely off.
Thank you so much for this video! I am just starting to explore coding and programming, and I've been struggling with cultivating the right mindset. This was fantastic for an extreme beginner like me :)
Why did you have to tell me what I wanted to hear? I just wanted sweet lies about how coding is for masters of the art and I'm wasting my time, But NOOOO, you had to tell me I'm the right track and to just keep going like I am and not not wallow in my own Pity.
Sshsssss I know right... So rude of her..🙄🙄🙄🙄 😃... My coach literally told me I need to build a POSITIVE MINDSET about job code challenges..... Here I am....😃😃😃
Well... if you insist: "everyone can learn how to code but not everyone can code". Building a positive mindset is important, but people tend to forget to build discipline, resilience, patience, and grit throughout the journey too. Many friends of mine who started this journey together have all dropped out once they hit a wall, I can only hope those inspire to be a developer realizes that the reality is not all rainbows, there's going to be tough times for sure. Just like Mr.DemiDemi said, tough times never last, only tough people last blrbrlrlrlrlrlr
I wish I had known all these things when I had started a few years ago, this is all true and so valuable! Thank you! :] There's so much I could say to support your points, but I'll let the video speak for itself. :]
This is the type of video i needed. Trying to learn and i "get" what it means and why you would use it, till they ask me to apply what i learned and how to go about solving the answer.
Thank you so much for these videos, I'm incredibly new at this and have been deathly afraid that wanting to build androids are something i'll never be able to achieve, but these breakdowns really help me realize that it can be possible. It feels kinda like being dropped into a new country on my own without any sort of preparations or security. Now though i see some speck of light so let's see were it lead i suppose haha!
Thank you so much for helping clarify my ideas about programming. I just started my Front End Engineer carrer path at Codecademy so I'll do my best to learn everything I can and want. Practice Practice and Practice, that's the main key for learning something new.😀
Thanks so much. Really helpful. I have always struggled to understand why people fail some tasks that I consider very easy, not knowing that my perspective as a programmer is really different from theirs. Sometimes even if a person brings a problem I have never tackled, I somehow find my way around it.
Thank you for this video. I see that I don't need to be a brain to code. thanks for sharing your experience now I can try solving problems before finding out by other means, I can ask questions this is hard for me but I'll do it, work with other's on projects learn to listen before speaking and making sure that I heard so that I don't do the worng application. Again thanks.
thanks for your tips... but I'm confused with where to get started. i can't able to find some hard problems it's bring me more fun. where will i get it?
They didn't say not to, they suggested trying to work out the problem yourself FIRST by breaking it down into simpler chunks, and then looking for more info. By all means look for help, but this idea was to help you get into the right thinking process and dive deeper into understanding what's going on rather than just copy and pasting someone else code. It's an easy trap to fall into when we just want an immediate answer but over time it can keep you from learning to code on your own.
Think this when not under a crunch think it through for an hour. (If under time constraints 20 mins.) Then if still stuck you may look at Google, stackoverflow. Then if you're still stuck you may then ask a fellow coder but never relay upon others which you must frist try yourself. It's ok to receive back up but first you must try and win the war before relaying on said backup too help you win the battle because at the end of the day it is your war. Which is why I'm calling bullshit on scenes in movies like the social network where they code flawlessly while drunk.
That's a good comment on how to think like a programmer. I've purchased a course on there but didn't like it. Data scientist. I don't know if I can get a job doing the course +8 months of previous python experience learning.
This video shows the difference between a programmer and a person who just codes because one is trying to solve a problem while the other is just trying to get it right. the other thing in this video is you don't have to memorize everything but be innovative with the fundamentals.
Try to figure it out within the first hour/half hour/20 minutes, if you can't refer to Google, if you then still can't phone a friend. That's what it is in a nutshell.

Came here from ALX too. Following the right path to learning Everything seems to work out 💪
@@UTDfargo don't follow codecademy the are LGBTQ bullshit!
I am in the ALX and thinking to just quit really 😢😢 its a lot
@@UTDfargo plz help

This is one of the best learning videos because it doesn't assume you know everything like some other ones.
This has definitely put me more at ease with learning coding, shifting the focus from an overwhelming sense of "I have to learn everything", to a focus on utilising and developing my problem solving abilities.

@@luketeal1076 thank you for this
It all seems daunting though...lol
Awesome vid that gives insight on learning how to code. I love that it's encouraging, especially when it comes to not knowing everything or memorizing anything.
That helped me to cope with the guilt and shame when I still go to the docs page after years of programming. Thanks

with steps like this, it really makes coding easy and how to tackle errors. Wish I watched this before learning to code.

the way you analogion opening the jar and problem solving step makes me grasp programmer thinking
This is the type of video i needed. Trying to learn and i "get" what it means and why you would use it, till they ask me to apply what i learned and how to go about solving the answer.
Thank you! I really liked this breakdown.
This is actually a good video. Really gives me a confidence boost.

i like the words 'donnot worry about not knowing everything'
Thanks for the tips as I start Programming at an older age!

This is an amazing contribution and please accept my heart felt gratitude. I will regularly follow the "CodeAcademy" and in specific your insight.
Thanks so much. Really helpful.

Can you please share more details on practical mistakes you noticed you were doing right and others arent
Hey, Kingsley here, I'm from ALX. Thank you for this information.
ALX gang 🙌🙌
🙌🙌
Well said. Fundamentals is key. Problem solving is the talent part
My journey in ALX_SE brought me here. Thanks for this ma'am.
I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO, IT REALLY EXPLAINS HOW PROGRAMMER SHOULD THINK.
This is a great learning material, thank you so much.
wow great . Am just starting programing and am bless for knowing
@01:41 You should probably put the jar down on a surface before releasing tension :p
That's very an awesome guidelines; Thanks a lot!
nice one super simple but great tools that all programmer need to possess
Thank you. This is something I'm considering. You are inspiring
That's a great one i need to join as quick as possible
This is so helpful... Thank you!
this has been an eye opener
Great tips you got there sis. Thanks.
Very helpful! Thanks for that suepr clear explanation
Informative and helpful
Thanks❤
God now i wanna rewatch all of torradora but i have to keep going
That was amazing. Thank you so much.
Thank you so very much. It's really a nice video

Hmmm, informative and very helpful. Thanks a lot Sis!
Thanks is really encouraging
thank you good advice'
I enjoyed it very well, thanks.
Thank you
Great video, thanks! One thing - link to 'How to build a portfolio' is not valid - is there a chance to fix it?
great video, thanks.
How to build a portfolio link is broken.
Thanks Stephanie.
Nicely put together :)
I believe am not the only one here because of a task i have to complete.
Very informative thank you
Thanks
Step by Step is the key
beautiful tips
really insightful
I wan to learn C coding cuz is the basic for the other language. I just bought a book from Amazon fro C coding for beginners.
thanks
Thanks a lot!❤
thanks for your tips...
but I'm confused with where to get started.
i can't able to find some hard problems it's bring me more fun.
where will i get it?
try sites like LeetCode, HackerRank, ProjectEuler etc.
So what are all my options when it comes to finding solutions to problems if I'm not supposed to Google the answer?

Great advice!
Amazing! Thanks!
Nice explanation, actually it's more useful than some advice from some faculty members. Go ahead!
amazing information
Highly recommend this video
For me the problem is not the problem.
The problem is how to translate the problem into code (syntax).
That's a good comment on how to think like a programmer. I've purchased a course on there but didn't like it. Data scientist. I don't know if I can get a job doing the course +8 months of previous python experience learning.
"Programmers do not need to memorize and/or know everything"
Thanks for the quote !
Its all about breaking down a problem
Amazing!
Well said
This is really educative.
thank you, i enjoyed it
Helpful videos!
imm beginner on html so which app u suggesting for me plz
I really did enjoy the video.
Thank you.
very educative thanks
This great!
Don't blame the computer, love this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What to do if u get stuck for days?
Try to figure it out within the first hour/half hour/20 minutes, if you can't refer to Google, if you then still can't phone a friend. That's what it is in a nutshell.
I am in my mid career accountant looking to switch career change to programming.. is it even remotely possible?
Yes it is.
Watch from 1:27 to 2:00 . Describes the thinking of a programmer. When writing something first do pseudo code of the instructions
please i want to learn this coding, how do i get started?
