1) Indexing - Go through all the resources and just develop a basic understanding 2) Retaining - Go deeper and try to retain as much as possible, use spaced revision to revise and get a good hold 3) Referencing - Refer to the curated sources, since you would have already gone through it a lot of times you would pick up really fast

I want to enter Microsoft and hug this great man and have him as my mentor

As a software engineer I do learn things just to make things done, and after a month or two, I just forget about how I did implememented those things. Thanks a lot for sharing your technique to learn and retain.

WHY IS THIS CHANNEL SO UNDERRATED !!! 🤯🤯🤯

Earlier people used to comment "I liked the video before watching" and I used to consider those people idiots but I do the same when I see your uploads. You can just trust some people.

It is great seeing a Nepalese-American making such valuable content. Much love!

We need more KZfaqrs like you. I can imagine the amount of time and efforts you put into making this video. Lots of valuable information, something i can share with my students. Kudos to you. Subscribed.

I dont know why i just get relaxed and feel awesome only in this channel for software engineering, i also ‘blind trust’ you

I think the idea of "indexing" the information first NEEDS to be utilized more in school/universities! It wasn't until after I graduated that I realized an initial overview of the material can really help you make sense of what you're learning and piece it together in the context of the big picture.

the transition to promoting SkillShare was smooth

Im still learning web development, but when i was a totally begginer, i lacked the indexing phase, and this make my progress on learning totally frustrasting, so i think this is the one i consider the most important and nobody talks about. Greets

The type of quality content I look forward to open the you tube.. thank You for this. This will definitely help me

I thought this video might be click bait because of the word “fast” in the title but I’m so glad I clicked. Thanks for sharing this. Subbed

Your talking style is amazing, calm, silent and with relaxed tone, defintely would learn it with experience...

Just started learning Python. I am on the road to becoming a software developer. This video is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you!

I enjoy both your content and the way you deliver it - easy going and relaxed, in simple terms, humble and still eloquent. Many thanks for lot of inspiration !

So grateful to found this channel. Thank you so much for the content you've created. It helps me to understand the things that I can't explain while learning new or getting refresh with the basics. Keep safe.

Utsav, you are teaching us things that no university/school in the world can teach us. Being a software engineer myself, I can grasp most of the things you shared. I think, you are one of most underrated KZfaqr and keep up the great work. Cheers

4:40 is a good tip. Watch the entire tutorial first and THEN execute your code

Absolutely gem of a person. The layering actually an eye opener. Thanks

Incredibly useful. Thanks Utsav!

Honestly, your channel has been the best hidden gym I stumbled upon KZfaq this year. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

You have covered really good techniques it can help me in long run to learn skills in software engineering and keep my curiosity in right direction ❤️ I do enjoy your every video ❤️ You are like mentor for me

Worth to watch all your videos. Keep rocking... Love from India...

That's a super important topic for me lately. I was trying to standardize the process of learning by myself, so this video is extremely helpful. Just like you mentioned, in tech world, there's too much languages, libraries, frameworks and all the buzzwords that come along with them, so if you don't have any standards set upfront, then it's easy to drown in all that or let it significantly slow you down. I am glad that you touched on the topic of getting better at other things, not just software engineering. I often times catch myself up on the thinking, that if I want to be better at engineering, I need to spend more and more time on it. And I truly love it, but then it blows out of proportions and I get burn out. Maybe you could do some other video about relevancy of side activities and work-life balance (especially when your work is your hobby at the same time ;p)? Best regards!

Watching Utsav's videos = pure value addition.

TLDW: Indexing Phase: Learn about topics associated with what you're learning. This phase does not include any actual doing or practice. Your goal is to gather data. For example, if you're trying to build a website and follow a tutorial. Only takes notes and do not follow along. You'll know which topics to learn after watching. All the times you're like what the heck. Retention Phase: Core idea is to use spaced repetition. If you're not repeating, you're not retaining Reference Phase: You've curated this information in the previous steps. Hopefully you put it into a tooling system where you're able to quickly reference it when you need it.

your video quality is just unmatched..you are my fav software engineering youtuber and i have watched all your videos as you somehow make me feel like i know you personally...keep it up man you will blowup

Most of the Time I stuck in tutorial Hell . I think Your advice is a good way to nail down these problem.

The greatest thing I did was spend time on KZfaq searching for meaningful resources for my career and my personal growth. Your channel for sure provides a lot of meaningful information. Keep up your videos bro, time to time I will be back here to get more connected with skilled people and grow together in this journey. Thanks a lot!

Thank you utsav for creating such good material!

Space repetition! - mind always felt it, but never knew. A great video. Thank you so much.

I work in a product company and they don't teach all this but this guy taught me a lot of techniques . Keep up with these great videos!

This is the best video I have watched ever on self development. Thanks

Thank you for the video. Will try this from now.

So much underrated channel

I'm in my late 20s now when I discovered this technique once I had to do POC on a different tech stack. It worked out well. Never refrained from using it every since.

Another great video! Thank you. Perfect timing with the tips as well, I really needed something to put me back on track.

This is the best ever advice for learning new skill or upgrading your skills. Thank you so much for putting this into well structured format, i have been practicing Indexing, retaining and referencing method for a while i could see the difference in myself able to learn new skills quickly.

I enjoyed this video a lot. And patience is so key. I used to think that I needed to know waaay more than I needed to in order to get my first swe role. But if it was like that, I would have never applied! Now I stay curious while giving myself the time to grow to the next level. Plus, I gotta life to live with my loved ones, so there's definitely a time for everything.

la dai, I'll be implementing this framework to learn a framework. I hope I'll be more confident on what I'll be doing. I'll share your content dai when I'll make you proud.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Excellent video! Exactly what I needed to hear. As I am trying to wrap my head around machine learning.

this is exactly what i was searching for. thanks a lot!

I guess the trend has started. Today is the day that every Dev channel is putting out a video on how to learn faster and become a web developer in 2021. Did you all get on a call together and decide to post on the same day 🤣? How do I get in that special group 😁? Appreciate the content. Much love and respect. See you soon!

You are brilliant! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights on every video you published 😊

The things you tell are so nice. I can hear this for any amount of time. You are a gem:)

Utsav, God bless you, I feel blessed and happy to have a contemporary like you amidst us

I used the same method of learning to acquire a language I'd been curious about for years, and saw significant results. Only problem is that it takes a while due to continuous reviews.

New method of learning --First go through topics or indexing of skill that you want to learn --Then learn -- repeat it

Content is getting better and better. Favorite channel.

This video is excellent. I found it very informative and helpful. Thanks for the tips!

Very very helpful for me as a kid learning to programm and I also keep on learning new skills and this video really helped me. Thanks a lot..!😊

This is brilliant content. Hope your channel blows up soon

You inspire me, thank you for the video. Keep going 👍🏻

Great techniques....thanks Utsav

For me in particular , you act like the Buddha of Software Engineering & Productivity. Thank you again 😀

Wow I will apply these methods to my learning! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this. I can see the gaps in my learning process now!!!

Excellent video... very insightful...

excellent video utsav

I’m so glad I found this channel. Thank you so much for your advice ❤️

today i found your channel as suggestion and this is second video of yours i am watching. and literally you are amazing 👌😊😊..

I didn't know i needed this.Thanks a lot!🧡

Excellent video 👍🏾. Currently I am having this issue jumping from one PL to other due to client requirement. I am definitely gonna implement these ideas while learning ! 👌🏾👌🏾

I have so much respect for you Utsav. Thanks for these priceless gems.

Thank you Sir, I learnt something really interesting in this video.. 😎🙏

Great, this is exactly how I go about my learning process. I watched a few of your videos and forget about Musk... You're my hero! 🤪 Seriously!

This is really great, i might as well adapt this method. very logical.

you are a great mentor Utsav, your videos hit the right point every time. Thanks again.

Good to see you again!!🔥🔥

Great video! It seems I've used your learning techniques without thinking about it myself.

I was following indexing, referencing, retention technique without even knowing it ☺

"2- Components Of Learning" Step-1 Understanding Step-2 Remembering The key thing is to understand.

Spot on as usual. Love it 🙂

This is amazing !! I had similar thoughs, since I am currently learning intelligent systems - AI / ML and DL. It is so tough to study the math behind it ! Application based learning has a more rogorous process once I complete the three phases that you mentioned. I need to keep these concepts exercised or I will not be able to make valuable deductions once I stop using them for a long time !! Please keep making such videos. In depth and also start a master class if possible. ! Also, when will you be joining back to an SWE job ?

You got the new sub! Keep up the good work man 👍

It helps. Can you also create a video on how to prepare content for the video, and what are the ways to grow a channel like researching topic, etc.

One of the greatest channel on KZfaq ❤

Great video 👍

Your channel is my TV. Am curious about how you are able to break things down. Thanks for the insight you share.

Thank you for guiding us Sir! U r the best🔥

Great talk, Utsav. Just discovered your channel while looking for the best way to set up my new M1 14" MBP. I like your idea of indexing. I have recently adopted the same approach. Get the full story first. Digest it, Retain it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge from Canberra.

Great advice in Software terms. I like this guy. awesome.

Sometimes I imagine myself explaining concepts to myself before I sleep.

Thank you so much it was beneficial

You are the person i want to look up to. May be not in system design for me but in other field in CS.

This channel is awesome 👍

Thank you for your valuable advice sir :)

Great Video Bro

Dude u got swag and flow... big up (:
