      @rootstechnology  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Philip! Glad you're interested in learning to code and becoming a software engineer. To answer your question, web development isn't just something you do a project and just get a job, it's about understanding the different technologies you're working with enough to be able to discuss them and explain your projects. You have to learn more than those three technologies that you mentioned, and your projects have to incorporate different technologies that companies use daily, like "APIs".
      Here's a link to my sample curriculum, so you can see some of the technologies you need to learn and the order to learn them in: drive.google.com/file/d/1wJdSuSlxehJU97m8f1iYMqD1niMrDVys/view?usp=sharing

    I received my bachelor's degree in Information Science over 6 months ago, but have not been able to land a job in the field of IT. One of my drew-backs is my age. The other is I'm not sure what I'm doing or to do when applying for a job.
    To let you know my age is 60. I would like the work my way into the IT field and make 6 figure or above. The question is. Will I be able to get a job in IT being my age, and where do I start?

    • @rootstechnology
      @rootstechnology  Рік тому +1

      Hi George! Sorry about the tough time you're having with the job search.
      Unless you were told your age is what made them pass on you, then I wouldn't even focus on that, since there's nothing you can do about your age. Same thing with race. You can't do anything about it, so better to focus on what you can and keep applying.
      My question though is, what jobs are you applying to?
      "IT" is a huge field, and having the degree isn't really enough to get a job.
      For example, having a Computer Science degree isn't enough to get a job as a software developer, you'd have to build some websites and apps to actually demonstrate your skill. So, think about the role you're trying to apply to and look into how you can demonstrate your skills there.

    Hi firstly amazing content. I want to build apps for android and os devices. Would you still advise learning the html, css and javascript or would you lean towards something more like Dart or Flutter, etc. Thanks

    • @rootstechnology
      @rootstechnology  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Benjamin! You should definitely learn web development basics: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, before diving into Dart or Flutter. Learning those technologies first will make it easier for you to comprehend what's happening in Dart and Flutter, and make it easier for you to manipulate HTML & CSS code in Dart and Flutter. When you're building stuff for the web, which is what Dart & Flutter is for, you should always learn web development fundamentals first.

      Hey! No, I wouldn't. If you're learning Python for web development, that means you need to build a website for it anyways, so you should start with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
      The only time you should start with Python, is if you're learning it for data science. Otherwise, don't start with it.

    TJ, so you're saying you dont need a CS degree to work in the software engineering field. But I wonder if not having a degree will prevent you from getting a higher pay? I also wonder what is the most streamlined way to get into working for a good company with a good paying job without interning first. Seems like getting a CS degree, then interning is the most standard way to enter.

    • @rootstechnology
      @rootstechnology  3 роки тому +3

      Hi Matthew!
      As an engineer, you control you own pay and career path because you can always get a new job that pays more. You don't have to wait around for a promotion or stay in a situation where you feel like you're not paid enough. As long as you're an engineer, recruiters will always be trying to recruit you and you can always ask for more money than you make.
      But, whether or not you should get a CS degree depends on your career goals. Even if you have a CS degree, you still have to teach yourself how to build websites and applications on the side because most CS programs focus on theory instead of practical skills and applications.
      So, either way it goes, you'll still need to teach yourself to help improve your chances of getting a good paying job.

    How do you spark creativity when it comes to coding? I understand that you have to learn the basics, but what can you make after you've learned the different types of tech languages? I hope this makes sense

    • @rootstechnology
      @rootstechnology  3 роки тому +2

      Hey! So, once you learn the basics, you start building websites to apply your skills. That’s where your creativity comes in.
      I’m sure when you look at a website you can think of different design and style changes you would make if you knew how to code. Well, once you know how to code, you can flex those muscles now.
      That’s why i teach my students using a heavily project-based approach. Not only did it help with creativity, it helps them to really hone their skills and start getting comfortable working like an engineer.

      So, It's definitely a good place to start!

      Yes, there are plenty of frontend developer roles! Those are one of the roles i teach my students to apply to at www.ROOTsTechnology.info
      It’s very rare to find pure fullstack roles, because most roles lean heavily towards the frontend or the backend.
      The frontend is really in demand now because of React JS. Almost every job posting now mentions React JS experience because it’s the dominant frontend JavaScript library in the job market.
      Hope that helps.

      I replied on your other comment - but I'll paste the response here as well.
      Hi Jessica! Thanks for watching my videos.
      If you want to discuss which option is best for you, you can contact me at www.ROOTsTechnology.info to set up a phone call so I can answer your questions (or you can message me your questions there and I'll email you back)
      Deciding between a bootcamp vs self-taught is a decision that's based on your unique learning style. I'd have to hear more about you to give my best recommendation.
      And yes, I have my own Coding and Career Prep Program that I created where I mentor my students, teach them how to code and then assist them in the job search.
      My students go from not having any experience in coding to feeling comfortable building their own websites in just a couple weeks!
      You can also learn more about that on the website - www.ROOTsTechnology.info
      In the meantime, here are my Coding Tutorials to help you get started: ua-cam.com/play/PLSfWIdYZl6qcI4mKuRV4ViQyPzM38JPy7.html

    Hey TJ I understand some of the basic elements of html. However my typing skills put me off as I’m a two finger typist. Would you suggest learning how to speed type? And can you suggest a good tutorial book or course to improve typing speeds?

      Yes, i definitely recommend you do a typing tutorial first before learning how to code. You don’t want your typing to hinder your progress.
      My recommendation is to use Google to find an online interactive typing tutorial. Not a book. You want to actually be practicing typing, that’s how you’ll learn.

    I just started watching randoms videos of how to become a software engineer because I was just curious and I came across your videos which are so interesting. However, I have no experience in the technology nor do I have any idea about coding. In fact I don’t even know where to begin let alone know any of the terms. Just to throw that out there so you know you dealing with someone who doesn’t know anything about technology. I don’t have any problem paying the money for your program because I figured that this is really something that I’m interested in and is also cheap too. Therefore, I will really like to know how long will the course take, and also how will it work being that I live in New York?

    • @rootstechnology
      @rootstechnology  3 роки тому +1

      CS programs don’t teach you the practical skills needed to build websites and web applications, they focus more on theory and understating how computers do what they do.
      Whether it’s an advantage or not depends on your career goals.
      If your goal is to be a web developer, building websites and applications, then you m need to supplement your CS degree with learning how to build websites and web applications.
      If your goal is to work at a large tech company that creates technology, then a CS degree will be more helpful.
      A lot of CS students end up having to go to coding bootcamps to learn the practical skills of building websites and web applications, because they don’t learn that in their CS degree programs.

      Hi Jhoan, my program takes about 3-6 months to complete, as it's a self-paced program: www.ROOTsTechnology.info
      But, taking six months depends on your study schedule and how well you're understanding the material because you always want to prioritize understanding over speed.
      Because during the interviews, it's your understanding that will be discussed, not necessarily that you got the answer right. That's where having a mentor guiding you in the process makes a huge difference.
