When you put it like this, it does really sound a bit funny. But, until you dive into trying to create a new language, you think it's some God-like complexity.

Hello, I’m a first year cs student, we’ve been coding with java and using javaFX until now, what would you recommend to do during this summer holiday ? Every time I have a project in mind, I am too unexperienced... I tried to make an app using flutter and fire base but everything seems to be out of reach, I am always so lost that I give up. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe it would be best for me to take a machine learning with python class during summer ?
@@thosamnorlha1229 I'd recommend making the absolute most basic things possible first. These projects in the video are very cool but before you can do a path-finding visualiser you've got to learn how to do building blocks like animations. For learning e.g. flutter try making an app that does nothing but launch and show you a landing page. Try making one where you press a button and the app tells you what button you pressed. Try making a simple calculator. Then try making the calculator look good and you've got a basic project you can show people when you come back from the holidays That kind of progression can be v powerful for learning. Try and do stuff that's just one step outside of your current abilities and before you know it you'll walk a mile
@@thosamnorlha1229 yea man, start with basic stuff. These 4 projects are not the only projects that clement ever did. These are the absolute BEST ones he's ever done. Im sure he made a lot of crappy projects back on the bootcamp. You dont have to start with something mind-blowing. I'd say you shouldn't start with something so difficult
@@eb3433 I know it may not be the true reason he generally mixes between serious staffs and joking; . . after using your super power of reading between lines can you tell us what was the reason?
I really like how you can visualize the difference in run time required in dijkstras vs A*. I remember from my AI class that A* needs to visit less nodes and so on average it is quicker than Dijkstras, but this is really a great way to visualize it. Awesome projects!
Amazing work as always clement! Coming to the projects, absolute insanity. Some of the finest projects I've ever seen. Would love to see some tutorials on python projects!
He did those projects after few montha of coding. Nice job. I am into programming for about 5 months and currently learning vue js. The process of learning is slow for me, but I will never give up.
@@EverynameTaken02 sadly not. Came to a point where i was job ready with decent knowledge and bunch of projects. Applied to 100 or more jobs and internships and for almost a year no callback.. went on to start my own small business and stopped coding

I have been having trouble with Algorithms and your projects are a great help. It makes learning much much easier than reading it in just words. Thanks
For my CS degree, we built a programming language and interpreter in our second intro to CS class, so I totally see how he considers the language and interpreter to be less impressive than the first two (because it is). It may sound complicated but it really isn't.

@@ShivamKumar-cv7jv Maybe you can start with learning about github and alternatives to know how or where to look, if someone already posted a link to one of those sites: github.com/clementmihailescu/Pathfinding-Visualizer/
I don't think the path finder visualiser would be too hard to implement once you understand the algorithm but the idea and execution is what's brilliant.
These are really good visualization projects, but not really great at what you need to build your own project or company, these are just interactive algorithm visualizers, they are really awesome and the animations are really cool.
LOL dude these are fucking BONKERS. Like I can't even comprehend how you did all of this with the level of experience you had at the time. I went through a boot camp that I actually ended up TAing for, for about a year after. Never have I seen any student in my own cohort and the other 4 I TAd for after come up with anything close to these. Just insane!

Path finding project was tooo awesome.. . Something too inspiring.. . And the sorting project was great.. .. Overall everything was great.. . I cant resist to subscribe.. 😍😍😍
Just a heads up, you don't need to make anything of this magnitude to get into a FAANG company (provided you have a few years of experience, a CS degree, or attended a reputable bootcamp). Interview performance seems to be the ultimate decider. I can imagine your projects probably do have to be more substantial if you're self-taught though.
Really insightful video. 👌🏻 It’s amazing how you took something as simple as algorithms and converted them into a visual project. Gave me a lot of ideas for my projects as well. Great video 👍🏻. Keep it up.
Another great video. Sorry I can't be more original in my compliments. 😁 I disagree slightly with you about projects 3 and 4: I think they are as useful as projects 1 and 2. They show you are well rounded in your skills and also willing to try a variety of projects. Also, the order you presented your projects in was smart: 1. Step 1 (projects 1 and 2): capture someone's attention with eye-catching visuals and a clear wow-factor. 2. Step 2 (projects 3 and 4): now that people are curious enough, show them the non-visual projects and let them discover the wow-factor on their own (because projects 3 and 4 definitely have a wow-factor also, especially no. 3). Keep up the great work. 😊
Thank you for this sir it gives me ideas for my own it seems it’s important to relate them all back to computing principles as opposed to the cool mindless but interactive stuff I was doing
Those projects are extremely cool man! Like you said, the visuals make the difference. I think your oak programming language is also very cool too! Did you learn all of this in those 3 months at the Bootcamp? Because that's amazing! Finally, I noticed that these are mostly frontend projects, so is there a specific reason why you chose to stick to frontend and exclude full-stack projects? Thanks for the video man! Really appreciate your advice.
His projects are almost all frontend not fullstack because he knows this quote: " *When you really get specific, that's where your power is* " So, if you are going to get into Google one day. Make sure you know this quote. I knew the quote when I got into Google.
Most of the "content" of these projects (i.e., the algorithms, the interpreter, building a chrome extension) were self-taught outside of the bootcamp's curriculum. But the bootcamp taught me the fundamentals behind the frontend and general fullstack development that was used in some of the projects. And as for why my projects are more frontend-focused, I think it's because I just enjoyed the frontend a lot and didn't have any appealing ideas for more backend-oriented projects.
Miss the days employers valued functional open source projects that benefited everyone rather than contests & academic exercises specifically aimed at getting a job.
I love this so much! This is terrific! I love visualizations. I just started a RUclips channel and uploaded my very first video based on Tensorflow! 😊 I'm going to see what kind of projects I can start to incorporate some visualizations. Thanks for the awesome video! Have a splendid day! 😃
I have actually made only 1 visual project in my entire Software life and that was in the initial 3 months of my career when I was actually very passionate about learning and coding. The project was basically a tile rearrangement puzzle which I wrote in Javascript and with minimal Css. But it is the only cool project with a wow factor I can honestly remember.
The programming language project was super impressive! Oak’s also a great name for a programming language lol I usually just make video games for my projects lol would that be impressive enough for a larger company?
Good video. On the subject of the interpreter project, years ago when I was learning a lot of programming languages (as a hobby) one of the exercises I'd do to see if I understood them and could write fluent code in the new language was to write a Logo interpreter and execution runtime (sometimes they ended up being the same thing, sometimes I built an AST and then executed that). That was quite nice as I ended up with something visual and interactive too that I could show people - though back in those days there wasn't so much of a culture of having a programming portfolio outside of work projects.
What coding bootcamp did he attend? Looks like it did amazing for him! Clemente, would you say you learned alot of your skills from the bootcamp or on your own time doing your own projects and research?
Hi Dude, I am so impressed by what you did! Actually I am a computer vision algorithm engineer and basically I write in C++ and Python. Could you give me some advice for what other tools I must know to implement such a project like you do. What might be the best plan for learning and project for starting right away. Many many thanks for all your sharing!
I just want to say, the best part of Clement's videos are those damn card tricks. For every engineer watching, you should probably spend a bit of time trying to figure out how the hell he did it. That's the phone bit. I've been very successful many times LOL! As for the projects, the path finder and the programming language interpreter were very impressive. I'll probably give it a go myself. I'm trying to sharpen up my frontend skills, so the pathfinder project seems very ideal for that goal

Just a heads up, you don't need to make anything of this magnitude to get into a FAANG company (provided you have a few years of experience, a CS degree, or attended a reputable bootcamp). Interview performance seems to be the ultimate decider. I can imagine your projects probably do have to be more substantial if you're self-taught though.
Been following your channel for a while, love your content.
Really insightful video. 👌🏻
It’s amazing how you took something as simple as algorithms and converted them into a visual project.
Gave me a lot of ideas for my projects as well.
Great video 👍🏻.
Keep it up.
Superb stuff you're building. Best inspirational one. Thanks for your great video ❤️
Wow, very impressive visualization! I learned a lot just watching!
I love how you explained the appeal of each project with those criteria.
Another great video. Sorry I can't be more original in my compliments. 😁
I disagree slightly with you about projects 3 and 4: I think they are as useful as projects 1 and 2. They show you are well rounded in your skills and also willing to try a variety of projects.
Also, the order you presented your projects in was smart:
1. Step 1 (projects 1 and 2): capture someone's attention with eye-catching visuals and a clear wow-factor.
2. Step 2 (projects 3 and 4): now that people are curious enough, show them the non-visual projects and let them discover the wow-factor on their own (because projects 3 and 4 definitely have a wow-factor also, especially no. 3).
Keep up the great work. 😊
That's a great way to frame it. Admittedly, they rounded things off very well and showed that I was a little more than just an algorithms fanatic!
This is exactly the kind of video I was searching for. It was very impressive and inspiring. Thank you very much for this :)
I thought you developed your own path finding algorithm that’s the most efficient out of them all 😂
Thank you for this sir it gives me ideas for my own it seems it’s important to relate them all back to computing principles as opposed to the cool mindless but interactive stuff I was doing
Can you please explain the tech stack used to make the visualizations project? Im very curious to know!
from looking at the website source, it seems to be simply html/css/js. The grid is simply an html table filled in. Pretty cool use of native tech.
that pathfinding visualize is mmmph! so good.
Those projects are extremely cool man! Like you said, the visuals make the difference. I think your oak programming language is also very cool too! Did you learn all of this in those 3 months at the Bootcamp? Because that's amazing! Finally, I noticed that these are mostly frontend projects, so is there a specific reason why you chose to stick to frontend and exclude full-stack projects? Thanks for the video man! Really appreciate your advice.
His projects are almost all frontend not fullstack because he knows this quote:
" *When you really get specific, that's where your power is* "
So, if you are going to get into Google one day. Make sure you know this quote. I knew the quote when I got into Google.

Most of the "content" of these projects (i.e., the algorithms, the interpreter, building a chrome extension) were self-taught outside of the bootcamp's curriculum. But the bootcamp taught me the fundamentals behind the frontend and general fullstack development that was used in some of the projects.
And as for why my projects are more frontend-focused, I think it's because I just enjoyed the frontend a lot and didn't have any appealing ideas for more backend-oriented projects.
@@clem Got it, man!
I really loved the Shortest Path visualisation project Clèment !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Miss the days employers valued functional open source projects that benefited everyone rather than contests & academic exercises specifically aimed at getting a job.
Super tare, Man! Felicitări!
I feel like a fraud now, for calling myself a software engineer.
Please Clement, what coding Bootcamp did you attend?
Read his channel description
Kurt Cobain
It is obviously isn't/wasn't there when I asked.
Thank you so much!!! Your video is super helpful. Now I understand what kind of projects I should make
I love this so much! This is terrific! I love visualizations. I just started a RUclips channel and uploaded my very first video based on Tensorflow! 😊 I'm going to see what kind of projects I can start to incorporate some visualizations. Thanks for the awesome video! Have a splendid day! 😃
I finally know why I get interview so little. Your project is too cool. It is totally genius level.
My question is what programming languages did you use to build all of this ?
would like to know as well..
everything is built on the web, so javascript
@@themanoskouts Not all web apps use JS
I have actually made only 1 visual project in my entire Software life and that was in the initial 3 months of my career when I was actually very passionate about learning and coding. The project was basically a tile rearrangement puzzle which I wrote in Javascript and with minimal Css. But it is the only cool project with a wow factor I can honestly remember.
The programming language project was super impressive! Oak’s also a great name for a programming language lol
I usually just make video games for my projects lol would that be impressive enough for a larger company?
Good video. On the subject of the interpreter project, years ago when I was learning a lot of programming languages (as a hobby) one of the exercises I'd do to see if I understood them and could write fluent code in the new language was to write a Logo interpreter and execution runtime (sometimes they ended up being the same thing, sometimes I built an AST and then executed that). That was quite nice as I ended up with something visual and interactive too that I could show people - though back in those days there wasn't so much of a culture of having a programming portfolio outside of work projects.
Im about to do something potentially stupid and risky 😂
I'm gonna quit my job and do a 3 month coding camp and hopefully make it and get a job
Good luck! You can do it!
Hows it going for you or have you started yet?
Its been 3 months i want to know
@@vc1053 2/3 of the way into the camp,will give updates
Good luck! 💪
My time in my bootcamp was a waste of time and money. That's what I understood. Thank you a lot bro. I think in this 17 minutes I learnt a lot :)
What coding bootcamp did he attend? Looks like it did amazing for him! Clemente, would you say you learned alot of your skills from the bootcamp or on your own time doing your own projects and research?
that was perfect. A timer can be added to the project to calculate search time
Wasn't java originally called Oak, because of a tree found outside the creator's office?
Sounds like a bad ripoff of Ook!
Woo....the first one ..path finder algorithm is really impressive and clean.
Hi Dude, I am so impressed by what you did! Actually I am a computer vision algorithm engineer and basically I write in C++ and Python. Could you give me some advice for what other tools I must know to implement such a project like you do. What might be the best plan for learning and project for starting right away. Many many thanks for all your sharing!
JavaScript
Clément thats a fucking sick project mate - KUDOS
0:56 null pointer exception.. 😕
I just want to say, the best part of Clement's videos are those damn card tricks. For every engineer watching, you should probably spend a bit of time trying to figure out how the hell he did it. That's the phone bit. I've been very successful many times LOL!
As for the projects, the path finder and the programming language interpreter were very impressive. I'll probably give it a go myself. I'm trying to sharpen up my frontend skills, so the pathfinder project seems very ideal for that goal
what ui tool do you use. that effect is so amazing and i cannot think of how we can make it
You can do it purely in CSS/JS
Check out his github if it's public
Thank you for your insight into projects. I'm starting to build my portfolio.
