Learn to code in the most efficient way and become job ready. Being a self taught developer I jumped through a lot of hoops to get my first job. A lot of hoops that I wouldn't have needed to jump through if I had a good plan to learn coding and to become a software engineer. In this video I'll talk about: -The quickest way to learn coding -The correct way to look and apply for jobs -How to handle the job search/interview process Get more interviews 📞 https://briancache.com/b/getthecall

Anyone else struggling with consistency 😢
I learned Python over the pandemic, got my first job last year. I think it's important to think about what you'd like to do, then pick the language. I found that interviews and tests focus on fundamentals of the language. Also, knowing a coding language alone is unlikely to land you a job by itself, so find others skills that might be needed for the job you want. For me, I ended up needing stats, SQL, Git, some Cloud knowledge, Agile. One of the things I suggest to people trying to make a decision about what to learn - decide on the job, find job titles relevant to the job, find all requirements they have in common and starts with those.
I'm an Engineering Manager who has also taught coding to hundreds of people. This video is full of solid advice and the path Brian describes is legit. Free Code Camp is an amazing resource.
I’ve watched a million of these types of videos over the past few weeks and this one is the best by far. No BS, straight substance
I love how you break down complex topics into simple and understandable explanations.
Dope vid. I encourage those starting out with coding to use the “T” method. Meaning take one language and drive it to completion or until you can write over 25 lines of code without googling an example.
This video is full of great and accurate advice. The way to learn to write good code is by first writing bad code. You have to get your hands dirty and write. Don’t just watch tutorials.
This is a pretty good video, I am a full stack developer with experience with a lot of different frameworks, I have over 25+ years in software development and have done very well. I mentor a lot of people and they all ask me how to get started and a lot of the points you have stated are true, especially with they way technology changes. I am going to subscribe and bookmark this video and pass it on to some of my mentees 😂
Fellow engineer here. You gave great and practical advice!!
My first experience with something even close to a language was SQL but I have moved on to Python since that time. Staying focused is hard to do when learning as you feel like you have to learn so many things and so quickly.
Thank you very much Brian. I’m 56-years old. Greatly appreciate your content! Starting a second career. Former 20-years of residential construction financing. JavaScript has been a challenge! Ever see the old Abbott & Costello bit about baseball? “Who’s on first?” You recommend free code camp and the Ordin project in this video. Do you feel one is better than the other or has new resource come about? Finally - yes! My goodness! I’m confident that I have it then don’t know where to begin. However, once I begin, I’m able to gain momentum. Again, much gratitude! Dom PS - my channel is a hobby.
Simple start, take a node course and redo the basic frontend from the course in React or Vue. Then take a React course with firebase or a pre-built backend and build a backend from scratch. Then take the best from two full stack ecoms and merge the things you like about them. Break things, use tutorials as a guide. Take a course that shows you how to launch a site on AWS then redo all your past projects on AWS. You'll pay attention to tutorials and how they work more carefully when you know you have to tear it apart and make it work with another tutorials' code.
I have been looking all over YouTube for a video like yours. Straight to the point and so clear to understand. Thank you for telling us the best way to code without wasting our time! 😊
Man, im so glad i clicked on your video. I've been seeing the thumbnail on my feed but never clicked on it. But all of sudden, today i decided to click on it, and bro, i wish i had clicked on it earlier. Ive been learning to code for about 2-3 weeks now and scrambled all over the place with the languages.
This was useful! I have just started coding and feeling overwhelmed some days, but I'm not going to give up. I started with c++, just as a start as I had no idea where I should get going from. Wish me good luck
I liked the way you are trying to help people not to do some mistakes
There is something so REFRESHING about a video that I click on and the man just faces the camera and talks straight facts. No crazy “special effects “ or drama. Subscribed!!! Thank you!!!
When in doubt, go back and redo what you do not understand, or just redo to redo. This builds those muscles in the memory. Never be afraid to ask questions. The cliche that no question is stupid actually applies. EVERY coder has started from the beginning.
Excellent advice here and I agree with all of it. I hadn’t even thought about the “apply to companies directly rather than using LinkedIn” tools point and the advantage it conveys. I’m going to share your video on Twitter.
Thanks Brian. I'm 61 and you are a very articulate person and I like watching you.
