Sorry about the loud 'ding' sounds when images are presented in the video. This was one of my first videos and I wasn't so hot at editing yet! Please forgive me! 🙌

This guy taught himself C++ on his own, not much people has such courage 🙏

That's really cool. I am 52yo and learned C++ all by myself in 1991-1992. This led me to code damn cool systems and understand how the system worked under the hood. Fast forward to present day, I am running my own business since 22+ years and everything had been paid by writing code, specs, and stuff related to code in this beauty of a place I would never ever have dreamed of when I was debugging low level concurrent serial port code in the corner of the bedroom. Code is power.

thanks for putting out this information and telling us about your journey. I have always struggled with code but also always knew that I really need to be just sitting down and forcing myself to know it intimately if I want to really get a good job somewhere. I look forward to watching more of your videos and reaching out from time to time when I get discouraged with the process. thanks again.

I've been coding professionally for +20 years and enjoyed this video very much. You have the drive to do what most don't.

I always keep coming back to this video for some direction!

Great video, inspiring stuff! I chipped away at coding for an hour or two a day for a year before learning full-time for 8 weeks until I get my first job. It's a grind but one I'll never regret

I really believe that you can learn to code in 3/4 months, but learning to code well takes time

A degree that costs a lot but qualifies you for nothing. Whew I felt that I went to art school LMFAOOO

I love you in a brotherly way 😎 thank you for using your energy to teach us your wisdom and understandings 🙏

It's incredible that you did ALL of this in just 3 months. Honestly, I would have have sat just with one of these for more than 3 months. Shows me where and what I need to work on(mostly mental). Thanks for this video. Hope you upload more content

Coding Jesus you are great man. Really love your content. Big Fan :)

Thanks for the advice bro! Im on a similar path, just did 4 years of business and honestly, I feel like if a person wants to study business take micro/macro economics and watch CNBC for 6 months. Alot of business comes down to policies and procedures and studying algorithms and being able to create software puts you in a much more powerful position in a business setting. I'm self studying programming and will use you tips. Thanks again.👍

What a story! Well told. Good on you! And thanks for sharing. This can be a useful lesson for young minds considering their options.

This video is perhaps the best guide to learn anything you want. Currently implenting it, and I got to say. It works like a charm!

This moment I just have a cellphone and no laptop or desktop, but this inspires me to code with what I have in hands or gaining more estabilished focus starting from that point. (Also using this comment as a notebook for picking up important stuff): 1. Books 2. Videos. 3. Leetcode problems 4. Pet Projects

This video is completely unedited, and he really talks about his experiences, I love this guy.

One of the best vids on this subject I've seen on YT, and I've seen a lot.

great video, love your motivation! It's inspiring.

Loved this! just what i needed to hear and find out about! thanks man :-)

I love you story. Watch your video for the second time today. I find that it's hard to focus in on one thing and you have done a great job of it. Technology is such a large topic. Thank you for the video, honesty, the passion, and energy you bring to us. Again thank you. There are so many youtubers with videos out there and you can tell it's not genuine and honest.

Thank you for your story, sir. I’m 30, CFA L3, work in IB, but I started to feel what you felt in PE companies :) the pure finance / lead advisory practice is enough for me. Your story gives me a hope.

Everytime I feel down, I just come and re-watch this video and it gives me some motivation. Then i go back and try understand WTF is Djikstra Algorithm

Holy crap man I've been watching you and you were interested in so much stuff I was and now in this video you mention Cave Story. My favorite game lol. Thanks for the vid.

I needed to hear this! Thanks

This was so helpful. Thank You for making this video!

Wow. Love your energy, thanks for sharing!

Yes. This year I started with some pet projects. 1) an etl tool 2) an awk clone for windows 3) a scripting language whose main feature is talking to serial and network connected devices

Cool video and great advice...Thanks for sharing

Simply the best video I've watched, about it! Thanks Jesus!!!!

Thank you so much man! I’m doing a masters program but they only do classes based around JAVA and I would love to be more on the fin tech side- are there any other languages you would recommend on top of C++ like SQL or something?

very cool with the pet projects, agree that a portfolio is important but yours were quite outside the box

LOVE the descipline!

This channel is a hidden gem! I really love your videos CJ!

So informative. So motivational. Great job!

I subscribed because of your name and the thumbnail 🤣 man really is coding Jesus huh

Great video! Can you also make a video on how your days looked like in those 3 months when you were learning how to code? It would be interesting to learn more about your study techniques/approaches and if you used coffee etc. to overcome fatigue. That would be very interesting and helpful for a lot of people. Thank you for your great content!

Thanks, I needed to hear this 👏

Great stuff! Appreciate your confidence 👍

Awesome content Coding Jesus.Thanks for the video.

His advices are pretty practical. Grab that book and learn your basics! And drill those leetcode, but 300 of them is too much... 100 should be more than enough as long as your practices are deliberate. If you want those good size company and good salary, you will need those basics and leetcode - unless you have got some super duper awesome unforgettable projects.

Thank you for sharing your story!! 🙏☺️

Thanks for sharing this was very insightful

Such a Great video and insightful. Currently doing the 100 days of code on Udemy for Python.

I need to make the leap!

one of the best videos out there and i've seen a shit ton.

Thanks KZfaq algorithm for this wonderful video. I think I got this suggested Because of leet code. But wonderful journey sir. I definitely got inspired to do those crams more rigourously

Damn bruv this channel is fire🔥, how is it so underrated.

12 hours a day, wow! And here I was thinking of myself as hardcore with 4 hours a day😂

He really did this in one take. You sir are fantastic.

Coding Jesus... the greatest name on YT, great video! :)

Very good content, keep on moving 👍

Wow, can fully relate to your experience. I'm currently doing the job I don't really like and I wanna become an iOS developer. Will make a career change within half a year from now.

This is such, such, such such a great video.

never been this motivated , currently working in a non I.T field but my goal n heart is in I.T thanks for sharing this !

Good job!

Tomer DUDE! KZfaq just randomly suggested and autoplayed this video and now I'm officially weirded out! I was like "WAIT - I KNOW THAT GUY!", and right then I hear you start talking about learning q/KDB+ at BitMEX where I literally used to help you with that on the reg haha! Looks like you caught some serious inertia back then, congrats! -Conner

Hi Coding Jesus! Chanced upon your channel yesterday and I must say you make great educational videos! I just graduated from an engineering degree and I find most entry-level engineering jobs require a some what decent level of coding experience. Since last year during lockdown, I have been trying to learn how to code and create simple applications, but I get really lazy and unmotivated at times. Yea but leetcode problems are way over my level :( My friends said its because my understanding of Data structures and algo is not strong. What are some books you might recommend and how do you stay focused?

i am an experienced programmer, i recently learned i suck at algos and data structures. i feel exactly as you are. i recently failed. i am going to start over

I subbed to you coz you inspired me to never quit coding well cya bro

I actually been looking into learning how to code because of crypto as well! I don’t have any background when it comes to tech. Thank you for this video!

Hey Jesus, I am loving your videos. I am wondering what books you used to learn C++.

oh yeah. a guy who just thought 'I like C++' and learned it. much respect.

I like your honesty

Your username made me click on this vid, and the actually helpful tips had me subscribed. I needed to hear that bit about interviewing first with companies you don't actually wanna work at .. to practise.

thank you, it is very helpful

what was ur Algorithm when u turned water into wine?

The gift that you have, and I'm sure you're aware of this on some level, is that you know what you want (you knew you didn't want to do front-end web development, and that you wanted something specifically related to finance), and you have the drive and the wherewithal to do it. I want to learn to code really mainly to move on from the retail job that I have, and also to hopefully be involved in game development someday. Is there a language you would recommend for that specifically? C++ is intimidating to me and I've also been given to understand that you should really know more than one anyway, so I've already bought a book on Python, but like you, I don't really want to do web development.

Great video!

thnks for the video..i tried to learn java..i got as far as arrays...man it was sooo hard,but looking at this video,i think ima give it another try.Im going to try C++

Personally this the video I am looking for. I am also learning C++ by my own and currently I am about start learning DSA. And Suprisingly I also have interest in finance market. My interest in finance market lead to me learn about trading so I taught myself how to understand chart pattern which Popularily known as technical analysis. I always used to think that how can I link both this knowledge and then I found your video dude. Thanks for sharing, this it gave me a lot of clarity about my next step....!!

I have only see 2 other of your videos (recent ones) , and I am curious if you have a video about suggested books to learn C++.

Bro, the aesthetics of your room 😍

For finance...or let's say trading application ( e.g. : quant) developers, do you think Python would be easier for beginner ?

Great Video thanks

I have a question related to technology, I'm an economics Major and would like to change pattern toward a technological field that will be in demand in the future, What would you recommend? Should I go for AI, machine learning, software engineering? Quantitative development? Data science? WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND? I am SUPER LOST! Thank you!

Coding Jesus - I’m here to be blessed! Show me the way!

Can you please share the "Bond Pricer" project link again? It doesn't work for me. Thanks

Yo, yo, "Coding Jesus". Got me rolling on the floor. The moment the video popped up, I thought to myself, "wait..., he looks like Jesus." haha.

This is the exact fucking video i was searching for.

Good video buddy.

Probably the best video I've watched so far. Would love it if you can share your syllabus on the topics you've covered in the 3 months (high level). I'd offer to pay for it ;P

Hi everyone, Problem here: in middle school i filled out my math books on my own and was allowed to draw or write afterwards. I highschool I couldn't be bothered with learning definitions and symbols in maths, therefore I suck at it at age 24. Obviously I regret it now, as i love to think randomly about probabilities but don't have to quantitative skills to actually proof anything. I do fill in hard sudoku's pretty fast. Should i try programming or just take private math/statistic classes? kind regards

Can you list the resources you used?

Thank you so much ❤

The hardest part about coding…learning how to type. I have been programming since the late 70’s and still can’t bloody type.

Can you share the books you used in the description? Thanks!

What did you build?

underrated channel.

I found the guy very genuine. Thanks for Sharing your journey. It helped me. Pls share your linkedin profile link

Hey CJ...quick question. Did you have subjects like FRM and Data Analytics in your Business degree that actually helped you crack Quant Dev interviews. I am teaching myself how to code and last I worked with a Reinsurance broking company for 5 yrs where I knew ppl who were FRM certified and they'd talk about Quant trading. That's how I got to know of subjects like FRM and Data Analytics etc. I had Math until pre-grad yrs and I am also brushing up on concepts like Lin Algebra, Prob and Matrix, and Precalculus. Do you think someone like me can still make it as a Quant Dev.

dude phenomenal advice but please watch audio levels on sound when a text/image is displayed as it is unnecessarily loud

Daaang baby!!!!

Any road map towards Blockchain development...even simple Bitcoin programming curriculum that you recommend? Thank you for the video

I love your channel’s name!

Bond pricer link is not valid...could you please update it again?

I BLINDLY TRUST YOU MAN ❤❤

I was searching for Jesus code in Netflix and I got here.

Do you have any resources that we could use?

dude , to build a game and play it with your interviewers. legendary
