Watching this video coming to the end of a 3 year apprenticeship - it doesn't get easier and there's always more to learn. Which is what makes it fun!
This upload is timed so perfectly timed for me as i am currently learning, thank you!
the posture part is already complete, crafted through years of gaming
This is actually very helpful. I do recommend getting books too! I read one when I went to a library once and the things you learn while reading them easily gets stuck on your head, specially if you like reading
Regarding languages, I agree that it doesn’t matter which one you choose. Still, you should learn the fundamentals of what a programming language is. Statements & Expressions is a good starting point.
Brilliant video. I'm not saying that as a reference to your sponsor, but now that you've reiterated it at the end of the video I feel a little self-conscious saying it, but even so it's still the correct word to describe your video so I'm sticking with it. Found your channel recently while trying to untangle some Unity/Steamworks multiplayer code and the few tutorials I watched were some of the clearest, most orthogonal setups I've come across. Honestly a breath of fresh air. Just wanted to say great job! PS thanks for discouraging AI use. Learning is not about "maximizing productivity" or whatever. You can learn some stuff trying to figure out why the code chat gave you isn't working, but in those early days it's much more rewarding and informative to solve your own mistakes.
THE GOAATTT <33
Great video Zyger! I really enjoy your content!! Maybe you should write yet another engine?! 🤣 I started out by using the following steps: 1. use tutorials to just learn the syntax of a language. 2. find a problem and use the syntax to solve it. 3. use paper and pencil to draw out your process (visual aid goes a long way) 4. use the solution to expand upon additional techniques (e.g using different data structures) 5. don't use chatgpt. You just need to write the code to get the idea of what's happening 6. learn how to use google. 7. if you stuck, divide and conquer and ask for help (leave ego aside) 8. repeat and give it time.
I need this, It's been months and I still haven't decided whether to chose C# or C++.
Agreed with AIs. They can get stuff done quickly for things you don’t know, but if your project needs to grow or be maintained, they’re terrible if you don’t know what it’s outputting. Learn first, use them as tools later. Never do big projects with it, it’ll bite you in the ass.
Brilliant really helped me! Today is my first day of trying it and I think it’s awsome!
As someone who's been coding for 25 years (in one way or another) and is in the process of leaving the tech world - you cannot force yourself to enjoy it. You cannot force yourself to be good at it. I never enjoyed it and haven't been paid to write code since 2011 or so. If it's not for you, it's not for you. There is no shame in that. Choose your own path in life and try to avoid following hype. And watching the coding video means you're just watching how they do it. You are not teaching yourself how it should be done, or any other ways to do it.
Algorithms and Data Structures was really one of the classes that got me knowledge so whatever language I choose afterwards have had me understand complex problems a lot easier! Can only recommend if anyone is going through college, and the class isn’t mandatory.
Coding for 38 years now - still in the easy/hard/easy/hard loop. I recommend learning a language that lets you build the thing you want to make. Much easier to learn if you're working toward something that you yourself find interesting.
The whole “choose any language” only made sense after years of programming, when you get to know they’re all alike, and similar problems and solutions can be applied to any language out there! Problem solving!
Coding is easy... idk why everyone says its so hard.. im coding in c++, learning Vulkan, and "Making" a game engine.
The main problem every beginners had is the shiny object syndrome. Once they see someone do cool in another language, they try to jump immediately to that language and dropping the current thing they are studying. I'm guilty with it too but now I'm only focusing on one language that I enjoyed the most which is C#.
true
0:04 thats me right now :´)
