1. don't learn things randomly 2. don't try to learn everything all at once but focus on learning one thing at a time. 3. be an active learner 4. don't just memorize stuff 5. build stuff
Just two words: “do projects” You’ll spend ages on the project as a beginner. This will naturally lead you to re-read the concepts again and again fixing your errors, troubleshooting, and not only trying to understand but also how to use what you understood and BEHOLD by the time you finish the project: 1- you feel great sense of accomplishment 2- you’ll have practical experience 3- you’ll have a project for your portfolio. 4- subconsciously you’ll know how to apply what you have learnt - you’ll be more intuitive. 5- you won’t have to memorise anything, doing is the best process of memorising. 6- if you need a revision, you’ll just review your project instead of re watching hours and hours of videos and get stuck in Tutorial hell. 7- Reduces imposter syndrome later on
Tip 5. Building my own personal projects allowed me to retain knowledge and expand it. This channel does a great job assisting beginners to develop a structured approach to coding.
Thanks for the video, We all have problems; the way we solve them is what makes us different, i pray anybody reading this God will solve all your problems.
It's all about persistance. The first website I ever built was simply awful to look at, and I was paranoid about every single line of code, thinking "am i doing this right? is this good practice?" But over time you learn on your mistakes and gradually get better and better with each project, just start simple
I'd add this tip: start learning as soon as you can. Every day you procrastinate to learn something new is a wasted day that other developers will use to stay ahead of you. The more days you spend learning new stuff the more knowledge and experience you'll gain throughout your life. Keep it up fellas.
Personally I would say try not to focus on the results, it's more about the process of learning. Every unfinished project adds up in cumulative experience over time. Comparing yourself to how quick others are learning is not healthy imo.
also pushing oneself too much like jeese did isnt good.16 hours a day are you mad . 7-8 hours hsould be max if one is not working. you will learn the concepts in 2-3 months and 4 months have a good project.
@@Bluepaccao true, you worry too much about "learning" and ended up not learning at all. I'm learning much more faster with slow projects without getting to stressed over it. Ig this depends much on person to person but that personally doesn't work with me
it makes so sense, when her says: 'code is not a collection of abstract facts'', this remind me when i'm studying mathematics(Real analysis, abstract algebra, linear algebra and etc).
project courses have been the most effective way to learn so far. The start is always confusing (and sometimes overwhelming) as you have to utilize and expand all the stuff you've learned in individual courses but it's worth it !
Great video! I earned my B.S. in Computer Science back in 1990, and it's AMAZING how coding practices & techniques has changed over the years! I have been in the IT industry over 30 years, and recently been learning more web-based programming! Feels like I'm relearning programming from a different angle than of the old school languages of years ago! I have to remember during the old era we coded everything (functions and all) from scratch, now with libraries it's more like "drop & drag" into coding! 😂
What I needed to hear: “learn one thing at a time.” I’m paraphrasing a bit, but I do think this is where I end up burning out every time. Trying to split my time between too many learning projects.
@@hanabern3897 Took courses from Udemy, Skillshare and also from some other platforms. Unfortunately I didn't find one instructor who was fully understandable throughout the entire course. Got to know something from someone and then again another part from someone else. At times it was frustrating and confusing but I never gave up. And then after many misses and hits, one-day I suddenly realized that now I understood the subject matter thoroughly. If you want to know the entire list of courses that I took to learn web development (full stack) then I would love to share that.
Ever since I started watching Your videos I stopped wasting my time going through different lessons. Now I'm able to build my own projects by myself because of your channel. Keep posting new videos 😊
I experienced not necessarily the same: When I decided to learn one thing I also learn anything it involves that stops me understanding the whole concept. That actually learn the full stack very quickly and keeps my interest and curiousity going. Force myself to stick on one thing would drop my interest on learning.
Knowledge bombs! This stuff is so key to sustaining progress in the long run and not getting overwhelmed. A quote I love that this reminded of is "Complexity is the enemy of execution".
I heard something similar a while ago that always stuck with me. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Applies in many areas, not just coding.
Something about this resonated with me. I feel kinda silly "wasting" the last 2 weeks trying to learn HTML without actually trying to apply it, and now that I'm dwelling on it, I barely remember any of it, but the nature of being self-taught is essentially being willing to push through the mistakes and find a better way. This video has shown me what I believe will be a better way. Thank you!
Great advice all around. I especially liked the bit about going through a section of a course/book and then trying to rebuild the examples by yourself without any outside help. That not only helps reinforce the material in a big way, it also keeps you from plowing through stuff without really absorbing anything.
Ive found the best way to learn is by muscle memory. I find a small app or project that incorporates some important fundamentals and then break it down into different microparts. Then I write the code for these parts literally dozens or hundreds of times. Eventually it sticks and it becomes second nature. The key is breaking it down into logic that makes sense to you. I rememeber learning to play the piano and having my teacher sort of position my hand one way and it never felt right. One day I sort of just found a way that works for me and felt completely natural compared to what my instructor had been teaching me . my point is...find what works for you and what comes most naturally to you. Dont force yourself and just mimic what the youtube guys tell you. Truly understand the fundamentals and logic behind what you are doing. Understanding and knowing are not the same
A few friends of mine asked me how they learn coding. I tried to create a word doc for them as a guide but i realized it sucks after wasting a few hours. I’m sharing this video with them. Thanks for great concise guide.
This is a great video! I got stuck in analysis paralysis when I first began coding, trying to figure the best path to start and which language to start with. Once, I decided to just pick Java and stick with it, I progressed faster than I thought I could and everything I learned has helped me to now begin learning another language.
This has to be the best video about the topic not only for beginners but also for people who forgot to learn new things. Quality and value in every second. Well done, Jessica!
I’m focusing on html and css and I’m loving css! The small bits and pieces that I accomplish are so satisfying! I love everything about it! I’m self learning and someday I hope to become something in the tech world. 😍 Then I found your channel and I'm loving every videos!
That’s awesome! You’re on the road to join the front end developer squad, I recommend as your next step after mastering HTML and CSS to learn node.js. With just those three you can create a full blown and functioning website.
Being hands on and building actual projects by following tutorials and making notes next to/ above the code helps a lot, especially when you forget how to do something and then you review your code and read the comments /notes you left yourself explaining what the block of code does or why you wrote the code that way will definitely help you remember what you've learned and removes the anxiety of having to cram/memorize everything.
This is a great idea. I'm a note taking kind of person. I've had a supervisor before tell me I take too many notes. But if I don't note things down, I absolutely am more likely to forget. I have bad memory.
@kaydeenothing9772 There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking notes down. I find that it reinforces the information into your brain so that you recall it later on when you need it. I did this a lot when I was studying my undergrad so much so that when exam time came around I didn't even need to study all the chapters in my text book, i read over my class notes and it helped me get distinctions in a few modules.
They all extremely good points and much needed to hear for me. As one more extra tip: Don't keep mingling with tutorial video. Find a pace according to tutor's speaking -and typing speed, adjust the video speed accordingly and only pause video when you need to catch up. Don't move forward, focus on catching up each word once, or twice if it needed.
Thank you for your video tutorials. I just started learning a month ago about web development. I'm in my early 40s. These videos have encouraged me to continue learning. Thank you!
I think this is excellent to follow for various fields in general. One thing I would touch on is passive learning. It works for me when I need to know about something rather than knowing how to execute something. As a cybersecurity professional, I do not need to know how to code, only to understand it.
I've always found that coding along the video or whatever and then leaving explanations of your own where you think you might be confused about later or forget really helps.
I actually enjoyed this. I feel like I can do this if I try to motivate myself. Taking one step at a time and trying to make sure I can do it. I really need to push myself a little more though. Thank you so much!
Using the code sandboxes are so awesome. It's such a great way to learn HTML and CSS and JavaScript without installing a bunch of stuff on the computer. and YES BUILD STUFF!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing and being so genuine in your care. It's not everyone on RUclips that has the sensibility to see how afflicting the myriad of info can be. I was feeling like I had gone off the rails with my training. I see now that I truly haven't gone so far astray. Eager to keep going.
I felt it when you said "Since it was my job, I had to build it", I too had to do stuff since it was my job. But it helpped me learn so many new things that I hadn't even heard before and I still. N I'm glad that I had to build⚒ and thankful🙏 for he who appointed me those tasks
I started learning frontend this year, I already did html and css,now im starting javascrpt which is kinda complicated for me. I agree with your recomendations, i felt overwhelmed at first,there are so many things to learn
Thank you so much I'm guilty of the second tip, I've been bombarding myself with learning almost everything I come across without knowing one perfectly. I recently made a decision to go back to CSS and learn it well before learning JavaScript again, I'm making progress 🌹
I'm over 50 and I want to learn to code but I don't understand many things so but is the best resource for people zero acknowledge the coding thanks for your time
I think this is great! I would say on point 2 focus on one thing at a time. What works best for me is to have one thing I'm working on in depth with some time devoted to random interests. while its impossible to complete anything when you have 12 different things going on at the same time I find it a breath of fresh air to have something to bounce to when my brain needs it. Also this fits well with the wide breadth with a few things at depth skill up strategy.
Firstly, I watch the complete video tutorial. And at second time, i code along with watching the tutorial. It helps a lot. Of course i watch a single video repeating about 4-5 times.
Looking at others creating awesome stuff might give you a sense of inferiority. Don't let it get to you, just keep learning by doing your own stuff and you'll pass them before you know it!

I really needed to see this. I've tried learning code for years but could never find the right path and gave up, thinking i just didn't have the right brain for it.
when I watch tutorials I always felt something is missing, like I am far behind it all the time, but after I read some books about fundemental concepts, I felt good & now I have an idea what’s going on,
@@VandalVortex Head first HTML , HTML & CSS by John Ducket, Javascript and Jquery by John Ducket, those books quite old, but helps to get solid understanding basics,
All I can say is thank you for this video and others you put out. I'm refreshing my software dev knowledge and learning lots of new things and it's been overwhelming. I've watched three videos of yours so far including the How to Stay Motivated one and I feel like I can do this. I just need to set smaller goals and be more realistic about timelines. Thank you again! 🙂
This is very helpful as I wrote that what I should complete this year but never know how to start, this vid gave me a hint and I appreciate that, thank you for making this vid
Just on time when I needed a video like this. Thank you ♥️ I have been learning web development from past 2-3 months, I practiced little so I forgot what I had learnt. Now, I am rewatching the sections I have forgotten.
I have now studied at at a university like education (I think it's called higher vocational education) for about 10 months now. We have gone from learning html, css and js( learning one technology at a time, about one month per technology) to building full stack applications with react, REST API with node and express and SQLite databases on the backend. I wanted to add to this video that If you have the possibility to, build projects together with someone else. One thing that I really think helps me understand my code and also the connection between different parts of my code is that I constantly during my education got to discuss code with another person. Try to find someone online maybe through reddit or a discord community. Start a project together and set off some time each week to work together. Practice writing pseudo code when you get stuck, basically break down problems to smaller components. I think this helps building that connection and memory everyone seeks. When you are working together and you share a goal you also motivate each other to keep going. You will not be asking the question "how do I get the knowledge to just know what to write in my code?" as much anymore.
Thank you for this video. Its so helpful. I am trying to learn python and you know I did exactly what you said during the video. On day 1 I watched a video and on day 2 another one from a different trainer. Now I now what needs to be done. Follow a learning path. Thank you again. You rock.
Thank you so much for this advice. I was getting distracted by the things I do not know and thus was trying everything all at once. I will surely follow this tip of breaking things down. Thank you.
Whenever i feel like quitting..i just come here to your channel and watch or rewatch your video and it helps me to regain my confidence and keep pushing forward...thank you❤
Going to give it a go yet another time... started learning python in 2018, went through few courses, dropped it, got into testing path (manual) now wanting to switch to automatisation using python. Let's see how it goes this time. Oh, btw, this year I'll be 40 :)
@@valley_robot Thanks for the message :) You've got a point! It's maybe better to do it in shorter sessions for a start and not get discouraged by sinking into 2-hr sessions daily. Good luck! :)
Just started zero to mastery and it’s been nice so far. I love the road mad and everything. Just trying to stay motivated even though it is very challenging. Thank you for the tips and advice!
Thank you- This really helped.. I started coding about 2 months ago and I was trying to learn everything Python, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JS stc.. and got nowhere quick- until I just focused on HTML for a week, then CSS another week and now I am trying to build project using these two languages. after 2 weeks I plan on starting with JS.. hopefully I will have basic concept of HTML, CSS, & JS before I am 40 YO.. (only 5 months from now) Thank you Coder Coder!!
I’m a super newbie to coding, and learned about python in my software engineering fundamentals class. HTML makes sense, C# is hurting my brain already, python is pretty 🫶🏽 Your video is reassuring as midterms are around the corner! I look forward to following more of your content for beginners 😌
I needed that video, I really didn't know where and how to start. I don't want to start a full course certificate at school with no base at all, thanks for the tips.
Tip 6: document everything you learn, and the problems you had learning it, with the wiki like notetaking app CherryTree. Everything you learn will always be within arms reach.
you're awesome, how you speak as well is very clear and can't stop watching you videos hey. youre awesome for making suck awesome and educational content as i'm busy trying to learn how to code as well
This advice comes to anything. We remember by doing, this is why applications are important in subjects like mathematics, language learning, and programming. I forget stuff I mentally consume all the time because my brain doesn't retain connections with it. The struggles, pains, and triumphs is what makes me retain that knowledge, and gives me the wisdom on also ways to apply that knowledge.
I discover by myself your first tip.... that is very important.... following a ordered path is pivotal to achieve a real knowledge! And of course do project and challenge yourself with new project is very important as well!
Thanks for the video. I agree with everything. I would add one more thing. Especially for shorter video courses. I watch them first in its entirety, just so that I can get what is coming, what kind of things I will need to have to use while learning, just to avoid surprises. This also prepares me psychologically. PS: And yes, doing actual thing and repeating it is what makes your learn. Like swimming or learning to ride a bicycle. You will fall few times, but in the end, you will learn it.
Thank you so much. I dare say this is God sent. Came at the perfect time. I recently got stuck on JS but watching this video, I've decided to get a more in-depth knowledge of html and css before jumping to JS. Thank you really
Thanks!
Thank you so much!

Just two words: “do projects”
You’ll spend ages on the project as a beginner. This will naturally lead you to re-read the concepts again and again fixing your errors, troubleshooting, and not only trying to understand but also how to use what you understood and BEHOLD by the time you finish the project:
1- you feel great sense of accomplishment
2- you’ll have practical experience
3- you’ll have a project for your portfolio.
4- subconsciously you’ll know how to apply what you have learnt - you’ll be more intuitive.
5- you won’t have to memorise anything, doing is the best process of memorising.
6- if you need a revision, you’ll just review your project instead of re watching hours and hours of videos and get stuck in Tutorial hell.
7- Reduces imposter syndrome later on

Looking at others creating awesome stuff might give you a sense of inferiority. Don't let it get to you, just keep learning by doing your own stuff and you'll pass them before you know it!

THANK YOU MA'AM
Thank you for these invaluable tips. You've been one of my top inspirations in my process to become a dev! Thank you once again :)
You're very welcome!
I really needed to see this. I've tried learning code for years but could never find the right path and gave up, thinking i just didn't have the right brain for it.
when I watch tutorials I always felt something is missing, like I am far behind it all the time, but after I read some books about fundemental concepts, I felt good & now I have an idea what’s going on,
Care to share what those books were called?
@@VandalVortex Head first HTML
, HTML & CSS by John Ducket, Javascript and Jquery by John Ducket, those books quite old, but helps to get solid understanding basics,
Was this video made for me? You speaking right to my heart.
All I can say is thank you for this video and others you put out. I'm refreshing my software dev knowledge and learning lots of new things and it's been overwhelming. I've watched three videos of yours so far including the How to Stay Motivated one and I feel like I can do this. I just need to set smaller goals and be more realistic about timelines. Thank you again! 🙂
I just started to code in Java yesterday out of pure nostalgia and it's been fun learning the skills and concepts from scratch again.
This is great! Your presentation style is really helping get the information across. Good job, keep it up!:)
This is very helpful as I wrote that what I should complete this year but never know how to start, this vid gave me a hint and I appreciate that,
thank you for making this vid
Just on time when I needed a video like this. Thank you ♥️
I have been learning web development from past 2-3 months, I practiced little so I forgot what I had learnt. Now, I am rewatching the sections I have forgotten.
Awesome, glad this could help you!
I have now studied at at a university like education (I think it's called higher vocational education) for about 10 months now.
We have gone from learning html, css and js( learning one technology at a time, about one month per technology) to building full stack applications with react, REST API with node and express and SQLite databases on the backend. I wanted to add to this video that If you have the possibility to, build projects together with someone else.
One thing that I really think helps me understand my code and also the connection between different parts of my code is that I constantly during my education got to discuss code with another person. Try to find someone online maybe through reddit or a discord community. Start a project together and set off some time each week to work together. Practice writing pseudo code when you get stuck, basically break down problems to smaller components.
I think this helps building that connection and memory everyone seeks. When you are working together and you share a goal you also motivate each other to keep going. You will not be asking the question "how do I get the knowledge to just know what to write in my code?" as much anymore.
Thank you for this video. Its so helpful. I am trying to learn python and you know I did exactly what you said during the video. On day 1 I watched a video and on day 2 another one from a different trainer. Now I now what needs to be done. Follow a learning path. Thank you again. You rock.
No many women can be watched on platforms women like you are really unique and have their own way making people click the video subliminally!love ya
Thank you so much for this advice. I was getting distracted by the things I do not know and thus was trying everything all at once. I will surely follow this tip of breaking things down. Thank you.
Awesome, hope this can help you!
Whenever i feel like quitting..i just come here to your channel and watch or rewatch your video and it helps me to regain my confidence and keep pushing forward...thank you❤
Going to give it a go yet another time... started learning python in 2018, went through few courses, dropped it, got into testing path (manual) now wanting to switch to automatisation using python. Let's see how it goes this time. Oh, btw, this year I'll be 40 :)
Good luck
52 here , just started this week learning python, it’s tough going but I’m breaking it up into 30 min lessons
@@valley_robot Thanks for the message :) You've got a point! It's maybe better to do it in shorter sessions for a start and not get discouraged by sinking into 2-hr sessions daily.
Good luck! :)
Just started zero to mastery and it’s been nice so far. I love the road mad and everything. Just trying to stay motivated even though it is very challenging. Thank you for the tips and advice!
An amazing path is The Odin Project. Highly recommended
just had the idea to learn to code and had absolutely no idea where to start tnanks you got a subscriber
Thank you- This really helped.. I started coding about 2 months ago and I was trying to learn everything Python, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JS stc.. and got nowhere quick- until I just focused on HTML for a week, then CSS another week and now I am trying to build project using these two languages. after 2 weeks I plan on starting with JS.. hopefully I will have basic concept of HTML, CSS, & JS before I am 40 YO.. (only 5 months from now) Thank you Coder Coder!!
good luck!
hey mahn ahaha leave this for us youngings, you want to beat us with experience!
Same here
Same here
I watched this video to justify my procrastination by watching it, but it turned out to be something worth to see. Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed, thank you
I'm glad to hear that!
I like how the thumbnail is funny but she is serious about what she's saying.
Amazing 👏!!!!
Great video :)
Thanks Adrian!
@@TheCoderCoder Agreed. top notch!
Why didn't see this earlier. Exactly what I've been battling with. Thank you Jessica 😍
I’m a super newbie to coding, and learned about python in my software engineering fundamentals class.
HTML makes sense, C# is hurting my brain already, python is pretty 🫶🏽
Your video is reassuring as midterms are around the corner! I look forward to following more of your content for beginners 😌
your video was really helpful, was exacting what i needed to hear
Thanks!
Thanks so much!!

chad honest work
You really helped me. Thanks for your advices.
You're the Sweetest Coder Coder on RUclips & Great Content
I love the fact that you recommended Ania Kubow's
In less than 30 seconds you read my day. Logics and algorithm by now.
I needed that video, I really didn't know where and how to start. I don't want to start a full course certificate at school with no base at all, thanks for the tips.
Tip 6: document everything you learn, and the problems you had learning it, with the wiki like notetaking app CherryTree. Everything you learn will always be within arms reach.
just first video i saw on this channel and i regained my hope to learn how to code . thanks a lot !
You mentioned all the mistakes I was doing till now. I'm happy that I watched this video and saved myself.
you're awesome, how you speak as well is very clear and can't stop watching you videos hey. youre awesome for making suck awesome and educational content as i'm busy trying to learn how to code as well
This advice comes to anything. We remember by doing, this is why applications are important in subjects like mathematics, language learning, and programming. I forget stuff I mentally consume all the time because my brain doesn't retain connections with it. The struggles, pains, and triumphs is what makes me retain that knowledge, and gives me the wisdom on also ways to apply that knowledge.
You actually pointed out the real problems that I am facing. Thank you for this content.
I love watching you explain tech stuff
You are wonderful
I discover by myself your first tip.... that is very important.... following a ordered path is pivotal to achieve a real knowledge! And of course do project and challenge yourself with new project is very important as well!
now iam absolute beginner madam.
luckily today i found your channel,
its really helpful to me.
Thanks for the video.
I agree with everything. I would add one more thing. Especially for shorter video courses.
I watch them first in its entirety, just so that I can get what is coming, what kind of things I will need to have to use while learning, just to avoid surprises. This also prepares me psychologically.
PS: And yes, doing actual thing and repeating it is what makes your learn. Like swimming or learning to ride a bicycle. You will fall few times, but in the end, you will learn it.
Great video! Thanks for the content.
what has helped me when learning to code is focusing on one kind of concept but referring to different materials. that way its easy to remember them
Extremely clear explanation (and your pronunciation is very easy to understand)
Thank you so much for your sharing knowledge with us beginners
Thank you so much. I dare say this is God sent. Came at the perfect time. I recently got stuck on JS but watching this video, I've decided to get a more in-depth knowledge of html and css before jumping to JS. Thank you really
I want to say I love you, I love your talking style and personality
1st video in this channel and i'm hooked! perfect voice and delivery. ❤
