- As a business graduate whose brain was melting playing around with tabs in an Excel sheet, I decided to learn to code. In this video I detail my 3 month journey.

Sorry about the loud 'ding' sounds when images are presented in the video. This was one of my first videos and I wasn't so hot at editing yet! Please forgive me! 🙌
That's absolutely fine bro 🤜
And thanks for this video 🙌
I just realized your name...
U forgive us everyday Jesus, for one time u ask I forgive u.
You are forgiven, my son......
Can you tell us what books did you read and what online courses you took to learn?
A degree that costs a lot but qualifies you for nothing. Whew I felt that I went to art school LMFAOOO
LOL! Yes... It's unfortunate..
Art isn't that bad. With art you have background in design, with design you have a lot of opportunities out there, specially in front-end.
I think you can get into UX research or front end with that art degree
@@clowndriver5576 yea I eventually went that route. I went to code bootcamp though. With art it still depends on the kind of art you major in. A lot of people who don’t major in industrial or graphic or interior design are screwed lol
Plus art is sooo saturated. That’s really the point too. I have a ton of friends that went the coding / UI/UX route and couldn’t find a job, hell I barely found one. Now I do 3D rigging which has a higher chance of getting a job :) but I went to school for medical illustration so I had to take extra classes
I really believe that you can learn to code in 3/4 months, but learning to code well takes time
Could I learn it well enough to get a job, if I only worked 30 hours out of a 4 day work week ( keep in mind at my job we work 10 hour shifts) and spent 6 hours on my days off practicing coding each day for 3 months, studying MOOC’s, and keeping logs of notes?
@R3BOUCAS sim :D
Anyone can learn to code but çoding good is tuff
@R3BOUCAS boa mano, vai estudando bastante e se dedicando que vc consegue
@@bassplayer807 It depends on many factors. What do you want to learn, where do you want to work, what background do you have and how can you represent yourself? Also how smart are you and how used to teaching yourself are you?
Search for a promising technology and start to learn it. Maybe think about a small project you'd like to do and work on it. At the same time you should learn about coding fundamentals and good coding practices.
Good luck and keep on it. Learning to code is hard in the beginning, but the longer you keep going the more rewarding it will be :)
This guy taught himself C++ on his own, not much people has such courage 🙏
In 3 months? Ok.
@@errorgrisha this is just funny, isn't it?
@@heavydirtysoul1491 I suppose that 3 months is too long. In nowadays people should learn CPP faster than 24 days!
I learned c++ in 5 days .
Only morons like you think its that difficult.
That's really cool.
I am 52yo and learned C++ all by myself in 1991-1992.
This led me to code damn cool systems and understand how the system worked under the hood.
Fast forward to present day, I am running my own business since 22+ years and everything had been paid by writing code, specs, and stuff related to code in this beauty of a place I would never ever have dreamed of when I was debugging low level concurrent serial port code in the corner of the bedroom. Code is power.
I've been coding professionally for +20 years and enjoyed this video very much. You have the drive to do what most don't.
Hey hii could guide how IT course choose
I always keep coming back to this video for some direction!
His advices are pretty practical.
Grab that book and learn your basics! And drill those leetcode, but 300 of them is too much... 100 should be more than enough as long as your practices are deliberate.
If you want those good size company and good salary, you will need those basics and leetcode - unless you have got some super duper awesome unforgettable projects.
- “how I learned to code in 3 months”
- you didn’t
hahahaha, he definitely didnt
you are underestimating the mind of an ambitious animal, that is us, humans. We are capable of soo much, don’t limit yourself to hearing what these tech gurus say. Dedicate, work, work some more... and achieve.
@@saralar12 And maybe check out Psycho-cybernetics
@@TheEdge92 Meditations by Aurelius and Willpower are top notch stuff as well imho
@@saralar12 ohh yeah! Heard a lot about it. Got it on my reading list
12 hours a day, wow! And here I was thinking of myself as hardcore with 4 hours a day😂
This is so real. Idk where these mfs find this time. Probably my fault though 😅
Everytime I feel down, I just come and re-watch this video and it gives me some motivation. Then i go back and try understand WTF is Djikstra Algorithm
Grinding leetcode might be good for passing interviews, but not that helpful in actually being a developer at a company. Doing ten a day just sounds ridiculous. Projects are better for preparing for the actual job.
You definitely didn't watch the full video.
Who told you to do ten a day. You are right projects are helpful for the actual job but you need to have the job first now don’t you. Unfortunately, that’s how the system is if you aren’t good at data structures and algorithms well good luck with FAANG
@@CodingJesus I did. You talked about projects, I'm commenting on the fact that that much leetcode isn't necessary. You can get good enough for interviews with just doing a couple a day until you're sufficiently good. You're setting people up to think they have to do 10x more work then what's necessary. It largely depends where you're applying. If you want a FAANG job maybe. Anything else, no.
@@dajackhammer525 Ah, got it.
Coding Jesus you are great man. Really love your content. Big Fan :)
Thank you
Thanks for the advice bro! Im on a similar path, just did 4 years of business and honestly, I feel like if a person wants to study business take micro/macro economics and watch CNBC for 6 months. Alot of business comes down to policies and procedures and studying algorithms and being able to create software puts you in a much more powerful position in a business setting. I'm self studying programming and will use you tips. Thanks again.👍
Awesome!
I have a business degree which is a degree that costs a lot of money but pretty much qualifies you for nothing
Welcome to the club.
Like what do i even do with a business degree 🙂 i still haven't found a job🥴
I subscribed because of your name and the thumbnail 🤣 man really is coding Jesus huh
:D
coding Jesus ???.......you aura does not indicate Jesus intentions to me.
never been this motivated , currently working in a non I.T field but my goal n heart is in I.T
thanks for sharing this !
You got this!
Hey Dude,
It’s been 3 years now, have you made the transition?
Im on it brother, still on jnr front end dev
The end goal cybersecurity
@@meeknkosi that’s awesome man, all the best!
@@AdityaGupta-je9vh thanks mate!
thanks for putting out this information and telling us about your journey. I have always struggled with code but also always knew that I really need to be just sitting down and forcing myself to know it intimately if I want to really get a good job somewhere. I look forward to watching more of your videos and reaching out from time to time when I get discouraged with the process. thanks again.
Great video, inspiring stuff! I chipped away at coding for an hour or two a day for a year before learning full-time for 8 weeks until I get my first job. It's a grind but one I'll never regret
I want to become an artist.... But sad reality is that parents want me to do job and settle just like them.... I completed my graduation this year but it means nothing to me 😖 i am dying inside 💔
Thats the simplest problem ever. Get a job and please your parents so that they'll keep their mouth shut. Hustle after office hours on your art and make it grow so that you earn more than your current job from that side hustle and then switch to it full time. That way your parents won't be dissapointed
Being an artist can be very discouraging, especially with parents who weigh down your creative spirit and choices. I don't have all the answers, but what I can say is if art is what you love then keep your hand moving. Keep being creative best you can, your life will unfold and connect how it's supposed to.
Thank you so much man! I’m doing a masters program but they only do classes based around JAVA and I would love to be more on the fin tech side- are there any other languages you would recommend on top of C++ like SQL or something?
hey what's new ?
jesus learned how to code in 3 months .
hmmmm this could be so toxic for so many people. Reading a lot of books on learning and how the brain functions when learning....this "path" would bring 95% of people to a burnout state....if not more then just 95%. Idk why people tend to do such videos...telling them how to become a developer in 3 months when everyone from the industry with or without a degree just know how impossible that can be.
There might be 1-2% of people that can do so but they always have very very very very specific situations that they find themselves in. In case of "coding jesus" i think it would be the fact that his father tried to teach him how to code. Idk how far that went but when having a parent doing a certain type of job, there are a few chances that the child is going to learn the logic of that job if the parent is willing to open that industry up to the child. This would be a huuuuge thing to take into consideration because most of the people that didn't study in a University and then went to 1 or 2 internships just don't get the logic of coding. The most difficult thing is not to learn the syntax and other stuff like that...but to learn how to think in that language or as a coder. If you have a parent that does that and actively tries to teach you (even if at first it doesn't work) then you get the huge advantage that you know what happens in a company (from a logical point of view). And this is exactly why most of the people that are self taught will fail interviews after interviews. You just have no ideea what would be expected from you as a coder in a specific language. But that wouldn't be the only thing i guess.... surely there where other circumstances that made this possible (not being hungry for it because... we know now as a fact that your "will" has a limit and that it can be quantified...so it will run off really fast if you burn it all in a few days or weeks)
Secondly... spending that many hours a day with no days off... only maybe one, that alone could get you to a burnout state that will just make you hate coding or make you feel like you are not good enough for it. This is a fact....many many books where written on this topic by renown researchers in this specific field.
Personally I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this video to serously if you really want to learn how to code and to change your job and get into this industry. Besides the fact that I made this step myself....I would rather ignore that....and I would go by the studies and numbers that clearly and objectively show that this type of mentality will only bring you down at a certain point and that in case someone does make it.....it is most certainly because of a certain situation that the person found themselves in during the last years or most of his life.
Not only that but there are even more people that get into a coding position in a company and after 2 or 3 months they just fail and loose it. This mostly tends to happen because all you can do in 3 moths is to learn something in a more empirical way. You see what things do but not really get it why....and when a company actually is expecting you to solve some problems....you will feel a lot of stress and pressure because you don't have the experience with such things. You don't really get yourself into similar situations in order to have some experience as how you should react and what you should do.
Again... I am not here to say that I don't believe coding jesus when he is saying that he got multiple offers in such a short time....but I would recommend others to take into consideration that the information you got from within your circle of people that you live with are not the same as his. His entire informational background might not be the same when it comes to coding, your mental state might not be the same.....and of course....maybe read a book or 2 first on how to learn new and difficult stuff. A lot of studies will back up completely opposite ideas then his...and all of them in a very objective way.
Just one example that is completely different and shows a more realistic life situation

3 months into programming and this guy calls himself "Coding Jesus"😂😂
Maybe because he looks like a jesus?
Maybe if you were actually smart, then you would realize the nomenclature of Jesus is not a reference to programming competence, but to his looks.
@@eosio8450 And if you were not this dumb, you'd know that I am just kidding.
@@satyam3993 Wow, what a very good joke!
@@satyam3993 Maybe next time try learning how to structure a joke. Your attempt is egregious
Yes. This year I started with some pet projects.
1) an etl tool
2) an awk clone for windows
3) a scripting language whose main feature is talking to serial and network connected devices
He really did this in one take. You sir are fantastic.
This moment I just have a cellphone and no laptop or desktop, but this inspires me to code with what I have in hands or gaining more estabilished focus starting from that point. (Also using this comment as a notebook for picking up important stuff):
1. Books
2. Videos.
3. Leetcode problems
4. Pet Projects
Me too buddy
the only offer u'll get is from church
Great video! Can you also make a video on how your days looked like in those 3 months when you were learning how to code? It would be interesting to learn more about your study techniques/approaches and if you used coffee etc. to overcome fatigue. That would be very interesting and helpful for a lot of people. Thank you for your great content!
Those 3-4 months you were teaching yourself for 12 hours a day no weekends, how did you not work? Did you stay at your parents?
If theirs some kind of jesus movie they should pick him for the star
Hehe
oh yeah. a guy who just thought 'I like C++' and learned it. much respect.
Wow, can fully relate to your experience. I'm currently doing the job I don't really like and I wanna become an iOS developer. Will make a career change within half a year from now.
Still switched careers?
(how bout a round of applause guys) HALLELUJAH !!! you are a LEGEND !!!!! God's work my son... you are doing God's work
edit: wait...so you're actually a Christian?... and not just mocking it... WOW.. right on... that's amzing!!!
Wh••=app••=+••=1••=4••=0••=2••=7••=8••=1••=4••=2••=7••=3..
I disagree with your opinion about business degree. When it is combined with another specific skillset, it is a very powerful qualification in the market. The problem is the bias, that a degree = job. No! If you have a specific skillset (coding is a very very powerful weapon to combine it with) then the business/econ degree will be very valuable. There are a LOT of jobs that require business degree and coding/IT skills, or even a secondary degree of some sort. But if you are just wandering around aimlessly, expecting the degree to automatically get a job for you, then you will have a LOT of problems (and you already do, in your head, if you are like this!).
However I love your no-nonsense, no-bullshit approach to things, you have just gained a sub! Cheers
Important note: I am talking about European education, not American. I think the rules do apply aswell.

The hardest part about coding…learning how to type.
I have been programming since the late 70’s and still can’t bloody type.
Hi, for C++ interviews at these fintech firms, a lot of them would ask questions about the nitty gritty of C++. For example
- what is / when would you use a deque vs a vector, and how are they implemented under the hood?
- How would you implement a simple consumer/producer program using two threads?
Have you ever encountered questions such as these, and what part of your learning process would you say prepared you for these questions? ie. the courses, the pet projects, etc
Thank you for your story, sir. I’m 30, CFA L3, work in IB, but I started to feel what you felt in PE companies :) the pure finance / lead advisory practice is enough for me. Your story gives me a hope.
I have a question related to technology, I'm an economics Major and would like to change pattern toward a technological field that will be in demand in the future, What would you recommend? Should I go for AI, machine learning, software engineering? Quantitative development? Data science? WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? I am SUPER LOST! Thank you!
Summary: Whatever you wish to become learn 10-12h per day via books and tutorials and it's done. Go figure ;)
what was ur Algorithm when u turned water into wine?
The gift that you have, and I'm sure you're aware of this on some level, is that you know what you want (you knew you didn't want to do front-end web development, and that you wanted something specifically related to finance), and you have the drive and the wherewithal to do it. I want to learn to code really mainly to move on from the retail job that I have, and also to hopefully be involved in game development someday. Is there a language you would recommend for that specifically? C++ is intimidating to me and I've also been given to understand that you should really know more than one anyway, so I've already bought a book on Python, but like you, I don't really want to do web development.
Probably the best video I've watched so far. Would love it if you can share your syllabus on the topics you've covered in the 3 months (high level). I'd offer to pay for it ;P
Thank you! This is definitely something I'm thinking of doing.
Bump
I actually been looking into learning how to code because of crypto as well! I don’t have any background when it comes to tech. Thank you for this video!
I have only see 2 other of your videos (recent ones) , and I am curious if you have a video about suggested books to learn C++.
Wow.. Coding Jesus really sounds like he has a Jesus complex. Now days most jr high school kids can program as he does.
i am an experienced programmer, i recently learned i suck at algos and data structures. i feel exactly as you are. i recently failed. i am going to start over
This video is perhaps the best guide to learn anything you want. Currently implenting it, and I got to say. It works like a charm!
Such a Great video and insightful. Currently doing the 100 days of code on Udemy for Python.
Loved this! just what i needed to hear and find out about! thanks man :-)
No problem

You said you read 100 pages per day. Sounds like impossible for me. Sometimes I take 1 day to read and understand 1 page.

Enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work. Self-taught, as well....in grad school circa 1991 to see if I could do what I could do in FORTAN... long before the "interweb" and public repos. }:-\
"a quite modest environment - dad a software engineer and my mom an artist." Methinks you need to revise you thresholds of poverty. In the UK - that is upper middle class = a lot of opportunity for you. Perspective, my dear.
Hi Coding Jesus! Chanced upon your channel yesterday and I must say you make great educational videos! I just graduated from an engineering degree and I find most entry-level engineering jobs require a some what decent level of coding experience. Since last year during lockdown, I have been trying to learn how to code and create simple applications, but I get really lazy and unmotivated at times. Yea but leetcode problems are way over my level :( My friends said its because my understanding of Data structures and algo is not strong. What are some books you might recommend and how do you stay focused?
I have videos on which books are recommended for data structures and algorithms.
Just tell me how to pray in code like u did with Lazarus.
Lazarus can't code, he was part of the no-code no-ode movement.
Thanks RUclips algorithm for this wonderful video. I think I got this suggested Because of leet code. But wonderful journey sir. I definitely got inspired to do those crams more rigourously
You are most welcome
dude how did you force yourself to sit 12 hours a day every day?
after 3-4 hours my brain can't absorb anything...
very cool with the pet projects, agree that a portfolio is important but yours were quite outside the box
Yo, yo, "Coding Jesus". Got me rolling on the floor. The moment the video popped up, I thought to myself,
"wait..., he looks like Jesus." haha.
Doing 10-12 hours a day, reading 100 pages a day + video ... @Doubt..
You cannot even take in that information if you read 100 pages. Much less do all the examples :P Did you keep track of the ime or are you just guessing? Cause when you guess you usually overestimate the time you actually spent studying by a lot.
With that said, good job of course :D
Everyone learning here and am I the only one who is confused what language to begin with?
don't focus on the language man.. focus on what you want to build first such as web, android or ios .. then you'll figure out more once you practice
great video, love your motivation! It's inspiring.
unfortunately your pops genes are all in you so your brain was just waiting wayy too go tho I bet pops in not as eloquent with his words his he you prob have him on that lmao.
What the fuck are you even saying. Do you know how to write a sentence dumbass?
Learn English you fucking dumbass
This video is completely unedited, and he really talks about his experiences, I love this guy.
It's incredible that you did ALL of this in just 3 months. Honestly, I would have have sat just with one of these for more than 3 months. Shows me where and what I need to work on(mostly mental). Thanks for this video. Hope you upload more content
Is it C++ or python mostly used for quant developer, plz gimme answer as either C++ or python?

@Quantum_AI Shut up.
@Quantum_AI My uncle is an AI Hive-Mind, and I find your name offensive to his sensibilities.
I subbed to you coz you inspired me to never quit coding well cya bro
f school
havent got the time to code
i still do but just when i have the free time
still studying pre cal
will you bless my keyboard so that I can write the most blessed program coding jesus
Is there an age cut off for this type of thing, like anyone below age 25 has a shot of success?
Did you also learn html, css and javascript or just c++. Why not python? is it because c++ is better for trading "creating algos?"
Hey CJ...quick question. Did you have subjects like FRM and Data Analytics in your Business degree that actually helped you crack Quant Dev interviews. I am teaching myself how to code and last I worked with a Reinsurance broking company for 5 yrs where I knew ppl who were FRM certified and they'd talk about Quant trading. That's how I got to know of subjects like FRM and Data Analytics etc. I had Math until pre-grad yrs and I am also brushing up on concepts like Lin Algebra, Prob and Matrix, and Precalculus. Do you think someone like me can still make it as a Quant Dev.
When I started watching the video I thought to myself "if jesus knew how to code", then I looked at the name of your channel 😝
Best c++ books for a total noob?
Software development is the best way to get rich, most companies dont care if you have a degree if you are good. Most people dont have the dedication to self teach themselves C++ though.. But at least its not like medical or other fields where there is a ton of gatekeeping and regulation and licensing.
one more interact
THE MOMENT u said that you got a degree in business management I decided to start following you, because its the case for me , I got a degree wish is good for nothing,
Tomer DUDE! RUclips just randomly suggested and autoplayed this video and now I'm officially weirded out! I was like "WAIT - I KNOW THAT GUY!", and right then I hear you start talking about learning q/KDB+ at BitMEX where I literally used to help you with that on the reg haha! Looks like you caught some serious inertia back then, congrats!

What a story! Well told. Good on you! And thanks for sharing. This can be a useful lesson for young minds considering their options.
can i make you a general question?Is codecademy worth to learn for example python?
You can start there to get your feet wet.
Is there a crypto exchange that doesnt operate out of Hong Kong?🤣🤣
Good content but oh those dings
Haha. Cha-ching
What are the books that u read ? Can you please shed some light !!! Also spending 10 to 12 hours a day in studying ...... Omg that's so daunting 😉
You won’t learn to code but you’ll learn how to find the answer. I swear every programmer thinks you learn a specific language
