I came from ALX internship. I wish I had listened to this a year ago. It looks simple but makes a humongous difference in your learning Journey Thank you for this great video ❤
It is ALX that leads me to this video as it is a part of one of its projects. I am just having the first step in this track, so it would be very appreciated if you can supply me with some tips that can help me go through ALX software engineering program. Thanks in advance
I’ve been a programmer for over 40 years (yikes!) and I’ve had a successful career by all accounts. You’ve reminded me where I come from. I think part of the fun is solving the problems, or solving the puzzle, to see if I can do it, and then to see how others have done it. This is a great start to understanding what programming is about. We’ll done.
TFST (thanks for sharing this). 40 years? I thought you were 19. OMG. I've entered my Python "DataCamp" with my usual Steve-Rogers approach: (wobbling, fists up) Solving problems?" (wobbling) "I can do this all day!"
This has definitely put me more at ease with learning coding, shifting the focus from an overwhelming sense of "I have to learn everything", to a focus on utilising and developing my problem solving abilities.
Awesome vid that gives insight on learning how to code. I love that it's encouraging, especially when it comes to not knowing everything or memorizing anything.
I forgot why i switched from IT to Nursing. But after this year, I wanted to explore the programming field again. Your video was an encouragement and why I stopped pursuing IT. I took shortcuts and they hurt after I was stuck. This was my perspective. Thanks for the video. I look forward re-learning all these baby steps and find a way to reintegration nursing-programming.
@@saudahjimoh963 You will not regret it. Nursing is a thankless job and you earn scraps. At least with IT (plus you having a nursing background) you can work in informatics for health care. Plenty of my colleagues switch to infomatics or something related to IT-Nursing workspace.
Watching this video validates the grit growth mindset, learning is a continuous journey, don't lookout for shortcuts rather think outside the box. Thanks for sharing this insight.
Thank you so much for this video! I am just starting to explore coding and programming, and I've been struggling with cultivating the right mindset. This was fantastic for an extreme beginner like me :)
I've learned so much in 6 minutes and I believe what you have helped me learn via this video will be instrumental in getting me where I wish to be one day. Thank you very much Stephanie (& Codecademy)! 🙌
Place left hand on the side of the jar. Make sure you have a nice firm grip around the jar. Then, extend your hand and fingers and lie your palm on the lid of the jar as close as possible. Start bending your fingers slightly, keep bending slightly until your fingers grasp the lid in a nice firm hold around the lid. If your palm lifts off the lid, that's okay as long as your hand and fingers have a nice firm hold on the lid. Start and gradually turn the lid in the direction counter to the threads of the jar in order to loosen the lid. Apply more force. Keep applying more force until the lid starts turning. Keep turning, keep turning, ... until the lid comes completely off.
I wish I had known all these things when I had started a few years ago, this is all true and so valuable! Thank you! :] There's so much I could say to support your points, but I'll let the video speak for itself. :]
Thank you so much for these videos, I'm incredibly new at this and have been deathly afraid that wanting to build androids are something i'll never be able to achieve, but these breakdowns really help me realize that it can be possible. It feels kinda like being dropped into a new country on my own without any sort of preparations or security. Now though i see some speck of light so let's see were it lead i suppose haha!
This is the type of video i needed. Trying to learn and i "get" what it means and why you would use it, till they ask me to apply what i learned and how to go about solving the answer.
Thanks so much. Really helpful. I have always struggled to understand why people fail some tasks that I consider very easy, not knowing that my perspective as a programmer is really different from theirs. Sometimes even if a person brings a problem I have never tackled, I somehow find my way around it.
Thank you so much for helping clarify my ideas about programming. I just started my Front End Engineer carrer path at Codecademy so I'll do my best to learn everything I can and want. Practice Practice and Practice, that's the main key for learning something new.😀
Why did you have to tell me what I wanted to hear? I just wanted sweet lies about how coding is for masters of the art and I'm wasting my time, But NOOOO, you had to tell me I'm the right track and to just keep going like I am and not not wallow in my own Pity.
Sshsssss I know right... So rude of her..🙄🙄🙄🙄 😃... My coach literally told me I need to build a POSITIVE MINDSET about job code challenges..... Here I am....😃😃😃
Well... if you insist: "everyone can learn how to code but not everyone can code". Building a positive mindset is important, but people tend to forget to build discipline, resilience, patience, and grit throughout the journey too. Many friends of mine who started this journey together have all dropped out once they hit a wall, I can only hope those inspire to be a developer realizes that the reality is not all rainbows, there's going to be tough times for sure. Just like Mr.DemiDemi said, tough times never last, only tough people last blrbrlrlrlrlrlr
I've learned so much in 6 minutes and I believe what you have helped me learn via this video will be instrumental in getting me where I wish to be one day. Thank you very much Stephanie (& Codecademy)! 🙌
Thank you for this video. I see that I don't need to be a brain to code. thanks for sharing your experience now I can try solving problems before finding out by other means, I can ask questions this is hard for me but I'll do it, work with other's on projects learn to listen before speaking and making sure that I heard so that I don't do the worng application. Again thanks.
That's a good comment on how to think like a programmer. I've purchased a course on there but didn't like it. Data scientist. I don't know if I can get a job doing the course +8 months of previous python experience learning.
I slightly disagree with the 1st premise. The goal of a programmer is not to speak to a machine, but to speak to a human being through a code that a machine can understand.
This video shows the difference between a programmer and a person who just codes because one is trying to solve a problem while the other is just trying to get it right. the other thing in this video is you don't have to memorize everything but be innovative with the fundamentals.
Try to figure it out within the first hour/half hour/20 minutes, if you can't refer to Google, if you then still can't phone a friend. That's what it is in a nutshell.
thanks for your tips... but I'm confused with where to get started. i can't able to find some hard problems it's bring me more fun. where will i get it?

Came here from ALX too. Following the right path to learning Everything seems to work out 💪
@@UTDfargo don't follow codecademy the are LGBTQ bullshit!
I am in the ALX and thinking to just quit really 😢😢 its a lot
@@UTDfargo plz help

This is one of the best learning videos because it doesn't assume you know everything like some other ones.
This has definitely put me more at ease with learning coding, shifting the focus from an overwhelming sense of "I have to learn everything", to a focus on utilising and developing my problem solving abilities.

That helped me to cope with the guilt and shame when I still go to the docs page after years of programming. Thanks

I love this. It's very detailed and I like how you broke it down into smaller steps.
Thank you! I really liked this breakdown.
the way you analogion opening the jar and problem solving step makes me grasp programmer thinking
with steps like this, it really makes coding easy and how to tackle errors. Wish I watched this before learning to code.
I wish I had known all these things when I had started a few years ago, this is all true and so valuable! Thank you! :]

This is an amazing contribution and please accept my heart felt gratitude. I will regularly follow the "CodeAcademy" and in specific your insight.
Thanks so much. Really helpful.

Can you please share more details on practical mistakes you noticed you were doing right and others arent

Hey, Kingsley here, I'm from ALX. Thank you for this information.
Well said. Fundamentals is key. Problem solving is the talent part
I've learned so much in 6 minutes and I believe what you have helped me learn via this video will be instrumental in getting me where I wish to be one day. Thank you very much Stephanie (& Codecademy)! 🙌
@01:41 You should probably put the jar down on a surface before releasing tension :p
I REALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO, IT REALLY EXPLAINS HOW PROGRAMMER SHOULD THINK.
This is a great learning material, thank you so much.
That's very an awesome guidelines; Thanks a lot!
wow great . Am just starting programing and am bless for knowing
this has been an eye opener
Thank you. This is something I'm considering. You are inspiring
Great tips you got there sis. Thanks.
That's a great one i need to join as quick as possible
My journey in ALX_SE brought me here. Thanks for this ma'am.
nice one super simple but great tools that all programmer need to possess
This is so helpful... Thank you!
Very helpful! Thanks for that suepr clear explanation
ALX gang 🙌🙌
🙌🙌
Informative and helpful
Thanks❤
That was amazing. Thank you so much.
This video is well organized . I like it !!
Nicely put together :)

Thank you very much for the lessons and tips :)
Thank you so very much. It's really a nice video
Hmmm, informative and very helpful. Thanks a lot Sis!
beautiful tips
Bless you Madam, you are doing good work here.
Thanks Stephanie.
Thank you for that great explanation. :)
great video, thanks.
I enjoyed it very well, thanks.
Thanks is really encouraging
one of my teachers once said "99.9% of the errors are sitting in front of the screen"
OMG that's so true!!
For me the problem is not the problem.
The problem is how to translate the problem into code (syntax).
Great advice!
Very informative thank you
God now i wanna rewatch all of torradora but i have to keep going
really insightful
amazing information
Step by Step is the key
thank you good advice'
Great video, thanks! One thing - link to 'How to build a portfolio' is not valid - is there a chance to fix it?
I believe am not the only one here because of a task i have to complete.
"Programmers do not need to memorize and/or know everything"
Thanks for the quote !
Nicely explained
Thanks a lot!❤
Helpful videos!
This is really educative.
Thank you

thanks
Thanks
Don't blame the computer, love this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really a helpful video
really this helped a lot
Watch from 1:27 to 2:00 . Describes the thinking of a programmer. When writing something first do pseudo code of the instructions
Well done
thanks
let´s do this !
thanks for your tips...
but I'm confused with where to get started.
i can't able to find some hard problems it's bring me more fun.
where will i get it?
try sites like LeetCode, HackerRank, ProjectEuler etc.
