    First . I start with:
    1. HTML and CSS
    2. Python
    3. JavaScript
    4. PHP
    5. Perl
    6. Java
    7. C#
    In addition, everything is going excellent ... I went to public college and I had hard time to learn coding . When I took a year off. I mastered coding on my own. I decided to go back to college and graduated in 2018. At the moment , I major in Computer science with a double minors in Economics and French at public university in Canada.
    Additionally , I contain a few certifications( A +( Hardware and Software), Network +( TCP/IP), Cisco, Security+ , MCSE, MCSD, MCSA, and SQL Server 2016)
    In short, practice , practice and practice.

      @@KimComplete Well, I just finished my first month as a front-end developer 😁 It was the second job I applied for, and somehow I ended up developing mobile applications in react native. But it's fun and I'm learning so much everyday right now! I also already made my first major f---up relating to a big release :)
      So basically I ended up only doing about 60% of the course on codecademy, then I started solving "real" problems from mock assignments my developer friend gave me. And I think that really boosted my debugging and developing skills to get me ready for the real world. Anyways I made it! And thanks for giving me inspiration through the darker times 😊 I have learned that I'm not alone thinking maybe this isn't for me, maybe I'm just not smart enough etc. Perseverance is key.
      Btw, if anyone is wondering, the learning process took about 6,5 months before I felt ready to apply for jobs. Well actually I didn't feel ready, but I felt I couldn't really learn any more effectively without actually working with it .
      I must also say that codecademy really taught me really good lessons, aside from coding. Like using git, branching, coding conventions, how to think when solving problems and other stuff that would really stall you otherwise when you start working in a team of other coders.

    I learn coding, now im in javascript and I know that minimal i need for udnerstanding 1year hard working,realy hard, everyday after job I learning, and she say 3 month, lol, so joke.
    Pls guys dont beliave everything what is on yotube. And many this youtube coders they lost, because can U inmage how they can have time for create vidio on yooutube and even that working on IT? lol, of course no, who working for IT, he havnt time for stupid youtube channel.
    So everything about how coding fast, how I learn in 3-6 month coding its bullshit.
    One important thing, I was learn in 3month basic of english, in 6month I was know speaking with ppl, and in 9month I speak fluently english,even with gramar mistake but I do. Now in corona time I migrate to Austria,apsolutly diferent language, and U know what? I learn in 4 month basic germany, and now I know speak germany, but of course many mistake, but I try and I do. But code language is absolutly diferent.
    For coding I know i need 1 year for java script, in html and CSS it was for my easly 3 month and I can create web,what in similar way look good. But even that I must still learning. PPl dont be ships and dont fallow btch yt.

      @KimComplete  3 года назад +1

      If you paid attention to my videos, I said I didn't need JavaScript for my beginner level JUNIOR developer job. I got an easy job at first but continued to work hard to move up in IT. But everyone deserves to be encouraged to get that first foot in the door because the fear alone stops most people before they begin.
      I wish everyone would stop perpetuating the narrative that once you get into I.T., you have no time for anything else in your life. I work a normal 9-5 and have hobbies and interests outside of I.T.
      But then again, I'm one of those rare people who only worry about what goes on in their own life, no one else's. So, I understand that you can’t relate 😢🤷🏽‍♀️

I noticed a discouraging comment above and I just want to say that a professor of mine in College literally told me that same exact thing and told me I would hate being a programmer because I would never have a life. That was SO FALSE. If I had listened to his terrible experience, I would have never began my journey. I work a typical 8-10 hour day and then I come home to my family. The only reason I don't do much more studying outside of work is because I have 2 kids and I put them first always. But it is VERY possible!!!!!!

      Cantari Crestine Sunt nou in domeniu, am inceput sa studiez de 2 luni insa nu aloc un anumit numar de ore in fiecare zi. Sunt zile in care pot invata 2-3 ore, sunt zile in care nu invat deloc, pentru ca si lucrez (domeniu diferit). Am zis ca as vrea sa fac si un curs oficial care sa imi dea si un certificat, nu stiu cat ajuta dar am zis sa il am la mana. Eu am pornit cu ideea ca inainte sa incep un curs oficial as vrea sa stiu despre ce este vorba ca sa imi fie mai usor sa inteleg si din aceasta cauza am decis sa ma auto-educ atat cat se poate din tutoriale pe RUclips si diferite cursuri gratuite de pe net. Oricum ca si job nu vreau sa aplic mai devreme de jumatatea lui 2021, poate chiar septembrie 2021. Dupa 2 luni de studiat stiu asa cat de cat HTML, si am inceput CSS, m-am uitat si la niste tutoriale cu JavaScript, dar la JavaScript sunt departe de adevar. Oricum tu chiar daca inveti ai nevoie de practica, atat HTML si CSS si cand vei sti bine tot vei mai revizui din diferite carti sau net pentru ca nu vei sti tot, notiuni de baza este ceea ce iti va ramane in minte. Eu zic sa nu te ramani foarte mult pe HTML, si CSS, treci prin ele, invata dar nu ramane sa inveti pe derost, pentru ca vei invata in timp odata ce practici. Tu esti deja in domeniu? Ai inceput sa practici?

    This seems to me like a CodeCademy commercial. Trashing Treehouse in order to praise other website, and right from the start story is directed to buy pro membership, the reason is there is tons of these so called self tought devs. I will tell you to anyone out there who really wants to learn, learning HTML and CSS is easy, after if you want to take webdev route, and after that take Javascript, prepare yourself to work just in that language for about a year, then consider to take some of the frameworks. Javascript will kick you in the guts. Don't believe in this scams. It's for the reason that we are paid that much money. Somebody give you a job in Javascript after you learn everything in 3 months, LOL !!!! With all due respect lady, spare me !!!!

Since then, I have learned JavaScript on the job over the years. I never said you become an expert in 3 months. But I did get a Junior Level job, and this is how.

      I recommend that you watch my video: "Top 10 Questions I Get Asked" as I discuss this and other things you may be interested in.
      The course title, cost, structure and features have changed since I took it in 2017. Pro and Pro Intensive are different.

    You were very encouraging. I too am a student. I want to be a developer. But the income worries me. I do live in Silicon Valley but being a nurse at. $40-60 an hour makes me reticent to divide into the computer thing. FYI I'm older, much older and that also makes me reticent. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions? Thanks. Craig

      I say - GO FOR IT! Anything in life worth having, is worth fighting for. Just don't quit your day job in the meantime. Learn on the side, if you're passionate enough, devote more and more time gradually.

      You can take a CS50 Intro to Computer Science course form Harvard. It's free. Then take CS50 Web development with Python and JavaScrit (It's also free). By the end of this process, you will gain skill set about Full Stack Python developer.

    You got a job offer. Was that as a direct result of Codeacademy or were you sending out resumes or going to events etc. sorry for the dumb question. I know you said that they do not do job placement but I want to better understand how to actually get a job and not just train train train. I am taking courses and doing projects but that isn't resulting into job offers.

    • @KimComplete
      @KimComplete  4 года назад

      Not a dumb question, I was networking and sending out resumes and then a recruiter contacted me about the position I ended up getting. I was very lucky and they only did 2 phone interviews before I got the offer.
      The programs that offer job placement usually charge you wayyyyyy more in the long run.
