Brad, thank you very much! But I think you will be surprised to know that I am a school student and I am watching your videos and doing coding for fun because I love math and think programming is very very interesting and math related. What do you think? I am on right track or not?? Please reply.... By the way, I have learnt basics of C and JavaScript. I have also made a chess game. Please also suggest which coding field I should continue gaming, web development or data science... And, trust this, I am not joking at all....
RUclips pays him THOUSANDS a MONTH. Trust me, he is rewarded. Just keep watching and spread the word :) That is what I do with my favorite Kevin Powell! Check him out too!! He is AMAZING.
For anyone new to programming, HEED THIS ADVICE. The hardest part when starting to learn is figuring out where to begin. This video really lays it all out VERY simply for you. I wish I had this when I just started because everything seems overwhelming - know that you're not alone. It's normal. For the best results, be consistent with your learning & putting the time in to understand core concepts. Don't race to the finish line by copying code for the sake of completing a project because it is ineffective for your learning. Best of luck to you if you're just starting out. Persist through the difficult times, things WILL click & come together. Have fun & I hope you enjoy the journey 😁
Respect to this guy! when he is talking about choosing your instructor, he did not only give you broad advice about how to choose your instructor, but he also mentioned other instructors by names as possible and recommended options, these little things tell you how transparent and sincere a person is, someone whose main goal is you being educated aside from himself being in the centre of the topic, respect man, you deserve all the best!
I seriously just came to RUclips thinking "let's see if Brad uploaded anything new recently". Boom, first recommended video on the homepage. Congrats on 1 mil, btw!
I am 100% self taught. I learned linux many years ago and didn't stop there. I have been doing html, js and css since the beginning. So I learned perl, pho but I realized that wasn't enough. So I jumped into C, C#, C++, asp and that was about 15 years ago. Within the last 10 years I learned Node.js, and Visual Studio. Just this year I learned how to program in Rust.
I'm going through a CS program in college now and I agree that these free (or cheap) resources online are as good or better than what I get at college (for not cheap).
@@cautarepvp2079 I don't think it was indicated that college wasn't important. Just that free/cheap courses are just as good or better. I just graduated with an IT degree, and while I think my degree holds value, most of the free/cheap content is better than most of the content used at my school. Further, the importance of a degree is largely cultural, and I would like to see the culture change on that point.
@@freesaints If I was a business owner I'd definitely prefer to hire the candidate who holds a computer science degree. It shows that the person has the discipline to follow through and pass challenging exams

My earlier post really wasn't focused on whether or not degrees are important. My post had to do with the quality of course content. Question out of curiosity, would any degree do? Would somebody with a bachelor of arts and then taught themself how to code meet your qualifications, or would they need to have a computer science degree?

Man, I can't like this video more than once? This is very good advice to anyone interested in becomeing a developer of any kind. Spot on, Brad! Big fan of all your work, tutorials and these type of career advice-videos. I bought your React-courses, and they are of great use!
this is super helpful and straight forward! I just started learning front end and documenting it on YT, so it's great to hear about the online presence

I am struggling a lot on codewars with python right now. Followed two courses about python but i am totally new to programming and sometimes i think i'm too old or too stupid become good at it. But i need to not give up
Never take days off. If you feel totally blocked then do something easy that you're comfortable with (for me that means making a basic JS or HTML/CSS tool or hopping on CodeWars even though I'm studying back-end with Node). Remember the 10k hours rule; every minute gets you closer to expert and you lose familiarity quickly if you don't practice.
zdrifted same here! ( RE ADHD- makes things harder ! But just keep at it as best as you can. take your time and do t pressure yourself constantly or you will want to stop permanently. Good luck and I wish you all the best
Im 37 years old was working in customer service in IT dept, but currently unemployed ;(.. Self teaching/learning Web Dev, although i learnt the basics of python, got stuck along the way and gave up, started again now... hopefully will get me somewhere. i wanted to take up web dev bootcamp on udemy but sadly i cant simply cant afford it oh well
Having a video on how to contribute to open source is a great idea! I've been through most of the steps (I'm doing projects now to make a portfolio) but I never thought of contributing and I've never seen any tutorial like that. It'd be cool to see it soon! Great work you're doing 🔥
Best thing about brad is he knows how the beginner thinks and what type of doubts he gets when he is knew to coding.Became your follower after your React front to back udemy course..Greatly benefited from it.Lots of love to you man
Thank you for this video. Finally, someone who explained the basic question ”how to start?”so that newbies like me can understand and start with moving towards the goal. Thank you again.
Great information! Thank you! As a previous college professor, I definitely agree that there was a lot of variation in different instructors ability to teach and connect with their students!
Lool..switching from JS to Python did the trick for me with OOP .if you still use Python , check out Beginning Python (2nd /3rd edition) by Magnus Lie Hetland to understand the basics
I dont know why but i feel like brad care about his followers as much or more than his likes and subs. There are lot of youtubers not legit at all but brad is really one of the bests out there. Thanks
The suggestions and explanations in this video had a huge impact on my development path, I could not recommend it highly enough. Thanks alot Brad, you are truly amazing!
I'm a retired software engineer with 50 years of experience (BS/MS CS). Yes, this overview is an excellent set of suggestions. I would highly recommend finding a Github project that you can contribute to. Why? It has an existing design and framework, it's probably working to an extent, and there is an existing community surrounding it, to some extent. This will all go a long way to helping you become successful. This video however, just barely begins to scratch the surface. It does not touch on system design, software requirements, code & configuration management, unit test and subsystem integration, documentation - and writing in general. Another large void here is learning how to work within a large group. Very few software projects are single person endeavors. Work group integration, design & code management along with test & integration are all group activities - that you are going to have to master. The last and possibly most important aspect to all of this is security. Learning to design and code securely is a must in today's environment. The sooner you understand security and how to apply it, the easier it's going to be.
I know I would say I wish I met brad 3 to 4 years ago...but I console myself by saying it's never too late...brad please don't leave now...stay for those who still need this kind of wisdom you have have...🙏
really nice video. Can't believe the video was posted just a day before March 11 2020 when covid shut everything down. I watched software videos at home during the lockdowns last year
I've been a developer for over 20 years and have been a software hiring manager. Brad is spot on with his advice. Follow his suggestions and you CAN be very successful!
First time in a while and this is pleasant to see. A very well deserved 1 million Brad! Your tutorials carried me through many new concepts that may have lacked clarity otherwise and are a fantastic entry point to new tech. .
Hi Brad, I watched your video about your struggles in life and becoming a web developer and you deserve huge respect. I am a medical doctor by profession in my early fourties. I have always been fond of technology and the ins and outs of PC (also a proud linux user) and lately I discovered that my true passion lies in coding. As days pass I see my (future) self less and less in a field of medicine and have a deep urge to persue coding. How realistic is a career as a self thought dev in fourties without any college or university degree? I am thinking at least I could pursue my coding passion as a hobby and build projects that will benefit the open source community. I just recently started to learn html/css and plan to buy your courses on Udemy and move to javascript... Honestly every line of code I write brings a feeling of joy and the urge learn and discover more. Guess the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is true.
Take a look at this short video. Angela is a former MD (I think GI doc). Now a full time IT teacher and quite good. "iOS/WatchOS Developer and Udemy instructor, Angela Yu shares her story" on RUclips ruclips.net/video/l5jUaLBXEg8/видео.html
Thank you Brad! This video really outlines the steps and methods (and actual work) for a self-taught developer. So many videos out there by other creators making outrageous claims, giving the impression that becoming a developer is easy, just need to watch a few 'bootcamp' tutorials and you are good to go. Brad spells out the reality of what it takes, with no sugar-coating.
I've been watching a LOT of videos on how to be a software developer, and those videos didn't give me the actual answer I need. Thank goodness that I found this video, for everything I needed to know is given to me. Now I know where to start my coding journey. Again, thank you very much!
For me it was really hard learning stuff on my own from home but when i got a job and started doing stuff from ofice it became extremly more manageable because there are others to whom you can consult your issues and learn that way and in the office there are less distractions. It it very similar to going to gym compared to training from home .
Brad, your content is always top notch, I'm a big fan! Purchased 2 of your courses on Udemy and no doubt going to do more in future, thanks for everything you do...your teaching style is spot on. Keep up the hard work! Please haha...
Thank you so much for this! this is very helpful. I have looked at doing the bootcamps but most of them are very expensive so I decided to do the self-taught path. Now I at least have some clue on how to embark this. Thank you! God bless
This video is very helpful for me recently I got a job in front end developer and I watching your all courses for front end development I like your all videos thanks for sharing your knowledge of programming.
You the man Brad! I transitioned from a C++/Java guy to web development because of your videos. They're all very helpful and give me enough knowledge to be dangerous!
@Svein Are Karlsen I hate C++ so much so imagine working on a 20 year old code base that was 90% that lol. Even looking at the syntax pisses me off. I've tried many times to learn it "properly" but really just got decent enough to look and debug old code. Java was the first OOP language that I learned well so it's my comfort zone.
@Svein Are Karlsen Just stuff like having to deal with memory allocation, pointers, it's syntax, stuff like "friends", etc. I had a bad experience learning it in school and then using it at work. It was really popular for people that worked on my code base to write really esoteric shit in C++ just to be clever I feel. It is definitely useful and has been around a long time and is used to make a lot of efficient code, but it's definitely not something I'd voluntarily use. Most jobs I seek out have Java and other web oriented tech stacks these days since that's where my interests lie.
@Svein Are Karlsen in the event that I do see it again in some form, are there any good learning material you recommend? I've tried going through Stroustop's book before but it was VERY dry IMO
"so don't be too anti-social" XD You're an invaluable and underappreciated source of information, inspiration, and guidance. Thank you for all your time and effort!
thank you so much Brad for this video. My biggest takeaway personally is number 4 -- find a community of like-minded individuals. Another one you can add is attending a hackathon of some sort.
This really motivated.....and changed my life during the lock down period....Just kn that ur the best ......i learnt more than i could learn from school
This video is very helpful. Most of the time I’m scared when I see computer science or equivalent degree. I’m self learning person and don’t have these degrees
Excelents tips! I'm changing profission walking to development engineering, and i choosing something to start for now. Those tips are very useful to choose a path, thanks!
I studied mech eng in Boston from 2008 to 2012 and I wish I had come across your videos and instead of mech eng, I would start being developer. By the way love your accent, you sound like my lab mates and I feel Im with them. I want to be a web developer and I am 38 years old. Will see how it goes.
Brad, you are awesome. Whenever I see new video, I first click Like and then watch the video because I know it will be a quality content. For me, the topic of open source is interesting but I still haven't manage to dive into it more. There are tons of projects but find it difficult to find ones that suit my level (beginner). Maybe you can make a video about that topic as you said in this video? Thank you for all your dedication!
I'm having a hard time finding work online I need a job due to the pandemic but I also need to change my something. Wish me luck I hope I survive this and maybe see a difference after a year or two.
Brad - I hope you're feeling better and have resolved everything you mentioned. You shouldn't feel obligated to do videos just because your audience is large. To us, Brad comes first!!!!
Although this is a great video, you also need to learn 1) discrete math, 2) algorithms and data structures, and 3) this last part depends on the language you want to work with (e.g. C++, C, C#), but understanding "operating systems".
Needed to hear this. Now I'm motivated to put down the ps4 controller and dive back into some code. Just started learning html last weel after learning python.
Whenever the word Maximillian comes.. I am like.. Yaa bro.. That's my teacher.. Do I need anyone else? Like no one can imagine how much respect I have for him.. And also Brad.. You are awesome too...

I've tried many times to learn it "properly" but really just got decent enough to look and debug old code. Java was the first OOP language that I learned well so it's my comfort zone.
@Svein Are Karlsen Just stuff like having to deal with memory allocation, pointers, it's syntax, stuff like "friends", etc. I had a bad experience learning it in school and then using it at work. It was really popular for people that worked on my code base to write really esoteric shit in C++ just to be clever I feel.
It is definitely useful and has been around a long time and is used to make a lot of efficient code, but it's definitely not something I'd voluntarily use. Most jobs I seek out have Java and other web oriented tech stacks these days since that's where my interests lie.
@Svein Are Karlsen in the event that I do see it again in some form, are there any good learning material you recommend? I've tried going through Stroustop's book before but it was VERY dry IMO
i really want to learn software development but i know nothing about it and you helped me to get started.Thanks:)
as far as mentor is concern we have you sir!
i just want to say god bless you brad...greetings from africa -kenya
"so don't be too anti-social" XD
You're an invaluable and underappreciated source of information, inspiration, and guidance. Thank you for all your time and effort!
injected his opinion.... people suffer antisocial or are introverted? did he heard that??? or he think everyone is extraverted like him??
bravo to this guy the steps are well elaborated....THUMBS UP!!!
Your are the reason I choose programming and enjoy learning everything about it ..
Thanks Brad ✌️
Can you please share your experience with me, please?
This whole channel is gold!
Well laid out. Thanks. Totally worth watching again.
brad: don't be too anti-social
me: that the ticket
thank you so much Brad for this video. My biggest takeaway personally is number 4 -- find a community of like-minded individuals. Another one you can add is attending a hackathon of some sort.
Thank you Traversy Media! It helped me a lot in my roadmap ❤️❤️❤️
This really motivated.....and changed my life during the lock down period....Just kn that ur the best ......i learnt more than i could learn from school
Thank you so much for your video. It's really going to be a huge help for me, it's so nice to find such valuable information from people like you.
Good video, man! Sometimes I tend to get a little lost and overwhelmed with the amount of things that I gotta learn. This helps keep things clear.
I have no degree. every time I depressed when I think Bachler is required for a job. but after seeing your video I am too much confidence that I can
Just go get your degree. it will be worth it
great to hear you man ...every time .... u r actually great then most of my professors
really appreciate this, thank u
This video is very helpful. Most of the time I’m scared when I see computer science or equivalent degree. I’m self learning person and don’t have these degrees
Brad, your every sentence is really wisdom worth gold. Thanks!
Thanks bro
Really helped
Love your content man, it always keep me motivated and push me forward in this field.
this is by far the best video from ur channel in my opinion, keep up the good work 👍
Thank you 😊 this gives me so much motivation and helps me be organized, so I can pursue what I love 😇😇🥰
Hope you are better now Brad. Thanks for another awesome video.
Excelents tips! I'm changing profission walking to development engineering, and i choosing something to start for now. Those tips are very useful to choose a path, thanks!
I studied mech eng in Boston from 2008 to 2012 and I wish I had come across your videos and instead of mech eng, I would start being developer.
By the way love your accent, you sound like my lab mates and I feel Im with them. I want to be a web developer and I am 38 years old. Will see how it goes.
Just started learning html and css through CodingPhase and watching RUclips videos.
Brad, you are awesome. Whenever I see new video, I first click Like and then watch the video because I know it will be a quality content. For me, the topic of open source is interesting but I still haven't manage to dive into it more. There are tons of projects but find it difficult to find ones that suit my level (beginner). Maybe you can make a video about that topic as you said in this video? Thank you for all your dedication!
You deserves an Oscar for efforts you put for us🙌❤️
I wonder if you saw my suggestion in the comments of your post or you have a super mind... cause this is exactly the video I asked for! Thanks!
i love this thank you i been looking everywhere for where to do this at
That was very well put, i like that you are very very organized in your thoughts. i really appreciate that, thank you.
I'm having a hard time finding work online I need a job due to the pandemic but I also need to change my something. Wish me luck I hope I survive this and maybe see a difference after a year or two.
Brad - I hope you're feeling better and have resolved everything you mentioned. You shouldn't feel obligated to do videos just because your audience is large. To us, Brad comes first!!!!
you really just gave me a meaningful way to become what I want.
Thanks a lot!
WOW! Amazing video, Sir! I love the way you structured the agenda! Looking forward to share your content in my videos!
Although this is a great video, you also need to learn 1) discrete math, 2) algorithms and data structures, and 3) this last part depends on the language you want to work with (e.g. C++, C, C#), but understanding "operating systems".
Its confirmed, I am addicted to brad's videos.
You are better than my professors at uni
A video on finding an open source project and making a contribution sounds like a great idea!
Needed to hear this. Now I'm motivated to put down the ps4 controller and dive back into some code. Just started learning html last weel after learning python.
all info you will ever need in one video. thanx
Whenever the word Maximillian comes.. I am like.. Yaa bro.. That's my teacher.. Do I need anyone else?
Like no one can imagine how much respect I have for him.. And also Brad.. You are awesome too...
Been following Brad since 300k to 1.02M. That was quite a journey. Learned a ton.
This was a lot better than any carreer advice i ever heard...
ive been stuck on 5 for over a year. it reminds me of the feeling in English of typing/writing up a paper from scratch but 10x worse
