The only person on RUclips saying, "don't watch more than one of my videos a day." I am getting back into coding after 5 years in a different career and I needed to hear this. Thank you and Cheers!
I've been developing for about 25 years. Everything Tim says is right, especially the part about practicing. Imagine trying to learn math by reading the book but never doing the problems. The concepts will not stick in your mind unless you DO the problems. The same is true with programming. I would also like to mention, however, that software development is not for everyone. Some people's minds just aren't wired that way. If you never find excitement or joy in writing code, if it is always pure drudgery, then it might not be the right field for you.
Great illustration. I might use that one in the future. I agree as well about software development not being for everyone. I'm convinced that anyone can do it (I've seen clear evidence of that) but that not everyone wants to do it. I actually have an upcoming Dev Question episode about possibly quitting software development (people, not me). We will discuss that in more depth then. One big takeaway is that it is ok to quit something you don't want to do. There shouldn't be any shame in doing so.
I love how you break down things without a lot of “smartsy sounding” language or any ego trip way. Everything you say is so helpful in a world of lots of egomaniac windbags. Thank you so much.
When you goal is to genuinely help people and not just sell views, it means you create a better focused video and spend the needed time to address the topic fully..
Usually, I go on tutorial for something I need, not for curiosity or to watch passively. I watch the video... and if it comes to a point when it concerns my projet, I do thing in the same time with 2 screens. I put the tutorial on pause when coding/adapting my projet and run again when I'm done or when I'm stuck, to see if the following unblocks me. Maybe not the best way to use tutorials, but it works for me. As usual, top video from the best teacher on youtube ! Keep doing the great job you do because yes, you make people watching you better developers ! Cheers from Belgium.
Genuinely refreshing. I completely agree with Practice what you Learn. Just grab a small application you've been wanting to build and get to it. Just learned Linq? Apply it. Just got into EFCore? Set it up! Great advice Tim, thanks!
I appreciate the heck out of you Tim. I feel like a crap developer at my job as a ".Net developer" every day. But your videos are so motivating, it keeps me trying! Thank you.
Tim, as always - spot on. Understanding each piece is the key. I recall following along one project but at the end not having a full understanding why it works the way it works. Stopping, identifying those mystery pieces is a must and should not be skipped. That is building the fundamentals / filling the gaps that essentially will help you tackle things when you are out in the wild. Otherwords - don't just follow along. Tweak the project, adding your own little functionality will push you into this "scarry road of doing it on your own" - but don't let this discourage you. This will actually reveal whether you understood what it takes to be able to do it. So you have a loop that will help you grow fast. Lecture, Example, Homework (Dip, learning details, aha moment - move on). Very important. Avoid illusions that you understand it - prove it. Tim, you have been doing a great job getting into those very important aspects of learning. Thank you!
I would also say that every new developer must start with fundamentals and programming theory first (something that everyone is dismissing, and tutorials don't say why you need it). It will be much harder to become a developer without it since you are just learning the language and not the "rules" or programming. As a programmer, you want to be flexible with your tools/knowledge. Great video! :)
Do a video course on LINQ - Mainly how we use it in real time. Challenges, Tips, Tricks and how to see SQL query from LINQ while we debug without any extra app to download.
Tim the things you have just described is exactly what I was feeling and doing , in fact one of my biggest problems is to read the book from the back to the front, instead of front to the back if that makes sense. Should know better at my age. trying to run before I can walk.
I completely agree with the practicing part, as well as watching too many tutorials (although for me it’s like watching a good tv series.. I just want to see the next one). I can’t count how many times I’ve watched a tutorial, wether it’s yours or someone else’s, and I completely understand it, but then maybe the next day, I sit at the computer to work on a project and decide to use what I learned and I get stuck at simple syntax or some other silly thing that just doesn’t come naturally. It’s frustrating and I end up copying and pasting excerpts of code from someone’s git repository and try to tweak it to my project. 99% of the time it just doesn’t fit to what I’m doing and I realize that I’m not using my brain to do the work. I think patience is the most important part of learning, because we all want to be where you are in your understanding but dislike going through the kindergarten motions of practising the small concepts individually. Love your channel and teaching style!
The first point that Tim makes is a universal truth until you don't have a fundamental knowledge of the subject you can not go further, I use the Feynman technique to convince myself that everything I know is true. I have not been in the software industry for that long (2.5 years) but I try to learn lots of things not related to software, especially physics. so I think I am getting pretty good at learning and this technique has worked so far.
One of the methodologies I've adopted to help with this problem (I suffered from it badly)... is to NOT build the application or sample problem that is being shown in the tutorial. I watch enough to try and figure out what the core concept behind it is, and then sit and come up with an idea that's *similar* but not too much. This way, as the tutorial goes along... I'm forced to stop periodically and think about how to apply what i've just been shown to my version. Example is Corey Schafer's Django tutorial. I wanted to build a little web app for work (not employed as a developer but wanted to get rid of some pen and paper stuff we do and make it a web app). Corey's app is a blog app. Instead of building the blog app... I built a part of the app I wanted to, the part that was similar enough to a blog, right along side the tutorial as I progressed through it. After that, I felt comfortable enough to build the rest of it. I do the exact same for demo/tutorial toy apps. Build something *similar* ... but just different enough that you aren't copying the tutorial exactly.
Another thing to remember: make sure you're getting enough sleep. Sleep is when your brain internalises everything it learned and makes the physical changes required to help it stick.
Good insight with the practice and all but if you are a junior developer (paid developer) you still have the pressure on you to get things done on time and don’t have the possibility to do all the practice you actually need to learn. You just have to get it done and take every shortcut you need to get it working on time. That’s frustrating because afterwards you have not learned what’s really going on :/..
To be honest i don't really practice i just watch your entire tutorial and then jump into creating something i want to create...i dont remember everything but i rememver an overview so when i get stuck at a point i remember hey you showed us how to do that or hey you showed me something that will work here or there. But i do ensure i understand the gist of what the content in question is all about...
Best way for me to learn is by creating something from what i learnt by manipulating code to create my own in a way i guess i would still call it practice...
Different styles for different folks, but in reality, you are putting what you saw into practice right away. That is a proven way to retain the knowledge.
Wow! This topic is so useful! Now I understand why do i always feel like I'm stuck in a mud even I've watch how you done it. Skipping to the topic I want to learn was never a good idea. Why can't I understand this even Ive tried to implement on my app. The feeling of lost and hopeless as a developer. This was always my reaction. Knowledge and career becomes stagnant. The excitement becomes frustration often times on why can't I make the code work. Thank you very much for that wonderful Topic. I will re watch the tutorials and this time, Ill do it in order.. Just a little question. Are you practicing those codes on actual working apps or on experimental app like school exercises?
I feel like the unstated, forth, concept is "ask for help".... Often times I feel like there is a 'wall' to climb here where there shouldn't be. Development isn't, or shouldn't, be a mentor-less struggle.
100%! If you can't explain it, you haven't understood it. Even more difficult is explaining it simply! Richard Feynman had some nice quotes on that topic.
Be aware that there is a scam going around targeting RUclipsrs, which claim that they are from Google (and looks legitimate) and they say that you have two different AdSense accounts and they ask you for your username and password, ultimately hijacking your Google account.
A great video, Tim! Thanks! Do you have that link to the practice video handy? I’d like to see that one. I take your point to practice to heart! At times, I’ll rewatch a video in iamTimCorey in the C# Foundation course, just to solidify the technique and redo the homework. It keeps the coding fresh in my mind. (Kinda looking at it as, “at the office.”)
Following along with tutorials is difficult when youve only got a single monitor, you literally watch the tutorial for a minute, pause it, flip to Visual Studio, type in the code flip back, watch another minute and so on
Hello Corey team, I was trying to find a video that is appropriate to my question but has not found one. Sorry for that! My question is, is it possible with Selenium to get any data from any website? For example, can I get translations from any website for my personal unknown word list?
Are you learning C# or learning the UIs of C# now that you know C# well? Because that's a big difference. I recommend learning C# as a language well before venturing into the UIs since the UIs use advanced OOP techniques that you should know before you start working with them. After that, getting to know WinForms and WPF both should be relatively easy since you are only concentrating on the UI portion, not the C# portion. Check out my Foundation in C# course series ( www.iamtimcorey.com/p/complete-foundation-in-c-course-series ). It lays out ten course modules in order. You can go see each of those course modules to see their course outline. From there, you can see what I recommend for the best steps to learn C# in order. You can either take those outlines and learn C# on your own or you can take the course and learn them in order in a comprehensive manner. Either way, it should address your question regardless of whether you know C# fully or not.
Hi Tim, what’s your paid course upload schedule on your website? I appreciate it probably varies but could you give an estimate please on how frequently you create a new paid course? Not that I’ve finished all your courses already as there are plenty just wondering.
Hi Tim... As you mentioned, learning in the correct order is important... Most of your videos in the "Advanced C#" Playlist use WPF in some manner... So should I learn WPF before getting into Advanced C#?
The playlists aren't ordered in a way that you can start from the beginning and go to the end straight through. They are more buckets that roughly categorize the topics covered. If you look at the Foundation in C# course structure, you will see that I cover advanced OOP topics before I introduce UI projects like WPF. I would recommend going in that order.
