I studied coding and struggled during the interviews. Now I’m a full time burger developer at McDonalds.

My first language was C++ and guess what happened, I failed my class in high school and I eventually gave up. Later I jumped to python and Java and the journey continues.

If I could start over I would learn so much faster, because now I know the path. I did struggle for 1 year with complex tutorials and couldn`t learn anything. I was so frustrated. What was game changing for me was learning through good Books! First I learned the basics with Javascript in Less than 50 Pages and then I improved with Head First Javascript Programming. Literally every other concept became much easier to understand after learning Javascript.
@yen0607
this was honestly the best "How I would learn to code if I could start over" video I've seen, this truly gives a meaning and a purpose behind every point you mentioned with the best kind of motivation that each viewer can discover on their own for themselves instead of the youtuber's personal reasons. You're the kind of youtuber who's helping me get out of my own valley of despair, thank you for that!
@Mindinmatrix
I felt super overwhelmed after my first webpage project. I had to learn HTML, CSS, JS and BootStrap... Took me 3 months, but I was thrilled with the end result. Thanks for this; it motivates me to keep going; University is brutal.

Started with C/C++. Hated it and left coding for years. Recently started doing a bunch python for an internship and fell in love. Started learning some web development, and as an electical engineer, im finally returning to C/C++ and loving it. Making something fun and dynamic first is so important.
@suyahatesntr
I studied python for 6 months to get ready for college but to my massive disappointment. My course is heavily focused on Java. But, it's not that bad because I realized that if you know how to code in python even if you don't know the syntax of another language, it doesn't matter. Just learn the basics and you're good to go.
@lorraineluo7605
Just started with Python this semester with zero coding experience and was definitely feeling at the bottom of the curve. But after watching this video, I'm feeling motivated again. Much appreciated!
@LaMiauleProd
I rarely comment but so refreshing to see a video that is super straight to the point, informative and motivating. Thank you !
@Lupinicus1664
Just retired after 42 years, used Assembler, C, C++ and many more. The advice in this video is very good. I hope a lot of people starting out listen and take note. Good job.
@NOCDIB
17 years as a programming professional, here, and I'm glad that this video showed up in my recommendations. Very funny, and well done. I agree with just about everything you said and I LOVE how you drew a distinction between coding and programming. People use the terms interchangeably but they are not synonymous.
@accountdua9375
For me, I always recommend two things: 1. If you are the type who prefers to start with something easier, go with Python. 2. If you are the type who enjoys a challenge, go with C++. Based on my experience, I started with C++ and found its learning curve to be quite steep; for a whole month, I slept, ate, coded, and repeated without touching the sun. However, this enabled me to think more deeply about the structure of my code when translating to other languages like Java, C#, VB, or Python. It also taught me how memory management works, which I consider to be one of the most important aspects of programming. Starting with C++ can be beneficial, but it should not be attempted by those who are not up for a challenge.
@idabblediy
As a person who is enamored with the idea of coding but realistically probably never will, this video was intriguing and I appreciate the perspective
@IsaacAkin
This was honestly a very informative video. You helped me realise that I've mainly been trying to program before knowing how to code. I'm gonna take a step back and take my time to get my bearings. Also I am defo feeling that dunning kruger effect, glad to know that it's normal and that I'm not the only one.
@Ho55Delux
This is one of the best videos I've seen when getting started in coding/programming, cheers mate!
@allcaps3584
Seriously the process in general applies to other fields as well. Every field has its own "Coding" and "Programming". "Don't Program before Coding. And don't waste too much time Coding." Thanks a ton!!!!
@Kinos141
Your language depends on what you want to do as a job: Websites = javascript Software = c# mostly, python Game design = C++, maybe rust, maybe However, starting in python and javascript is easy and there are lots of jobs for it.
@gio9255
The Dunning Kruger Effect hit me hard in my 2nd C++ programming course. I was so overwhelmed I was at the point of dropping the class halfway through the course. I hung on through the burnout and was able to pull off a B but I have never felt the absolute thrill of programming ever since. I regained a bit of my confidence learning SQL and HTML since then. This video is great for 1st time programmers.
@BartechTV
I began with assembly language, followed by Pascal and C, then C++ and Java, then CSS. I think beginning at the most fundamental level with assembly language gives you an appreciation of the workings of the computer, which makes learning subsequent languages an awful lot easier as you can picture what each line of code is doing at a bits and bytes level.
