I’m 25 and I’m wondering if I should do this as I got fired yesterday from my blue collar job lol I hope you guys are still into it.

It's ok I'm 47 and getting into it myself as well. Since my son is grown and active duty in the Marines it's time to learn how to code and start making the big money. For me I am not worried one bit because even if I don't get to work for a big company I know I can still do freelance work and also build automation bots to promote affiliate links and make money in multiple ways. So I will be set either way once I get it down on how to do python and javascript. Of course I will apply for the big companies but if it doesn't work out I won't be worried one bit.

Why are you trying to get into coding at that age? I don't understand. I would really like to understand, please. Thank you.

Are you asking me or somebody else?

And not 1 minute of the video is about how to learn to code. its exclusively about frameworks. Thats like learning how fast all the cars can go without ever learning traffic rules. Honestly just write code without all those gigantic nonsense frameworks attached. the amount of horrible practices you have to unteach junior game devs that only lerned c# through unity is immense. they only learn how to press the unity buttons and unitys bastardization of c# without ever learning how to write actual free standing c# code.

i think it can be more useful to break a problem into high-level steps first and organize top-down to keep things cohesive. getting used to writing messy code makes it harder to debug, which ends up being more painful that initial organization.

@@mcsquidinc.4648 Great point and great advice. Perhaps allowing oneself to write messy and ugly code is not so much a good idea, but it's rather the point of not holding oneself to perfection in the first go. I tend to freeze up when thinking of the "BEST" way to implement something and worrying more about if there's a better way to approach what I'm aiming for. "write ugly code" doesnt really fit that point concisely looking back at that comment

I agree, start early, start ugly! There will be many, many drafts. (Use Git, Use TDD) Most important is to start. Take pride in your first steps, no matter how unsteady they may be. It's an iterative process, and you'll be painting over, and revitalizing your past work. Make a small step towards better, rinse and repeat.

it's been 6 years and 3 jobs later, i'm still waiting for that "later"

@@256k_ That's the issue. Obviously, trying for perfect is probably going to result in the program not being completed ever, but assuming that you'll come back to it is a big assumption. Especially if you're being paid to develop the code, chances are that once you've got something good enough, that you won't be paid to go back unless there's a problem that arises later on that's bad enough to require a fix.

well in unreal u dont really write c++, u write Unreal's c++

@@shu3684 Yeah that's somewhat true. In some ways it's harder because you're kinda learning both at the same time. A few years back I did some projects in C++ using Ogre3D, that was fun. My general approach is to learn whatever I need to learn to do whatever I need to do at the time. After many different projects using all sorts of languages and frameworks adding another one to the toolbelt isn't particularly scary anymore.

I want to learn C++ for unreal but I find it quite difficult for a beginer to programing. Should I start with something easier like python?

If I learn C, do I need to need to learn C++ afterwards in order to see the benefits of learning C?

@@peacemaker7188 Depends what benefits you're looking for. For me, the benefits of learning C are about understanding the principles of memory allocation, pointers, data structures and how programs can be written without classes and other object oriented design semantics. Almost all modern languages hide these things away but really, they are still there under the hood. When you have a good understanding of the foundational layers that modern programming languages are built upon it makes a lot more sense when you run into strange cryptic errors. Learning C++ on the other hand will probably only be beneficial for writing more C++. If you're not actually going to be doing that day to day you'd be better off focusing on higher level languages and building real world applications.

The key is definitly to give your self some time, you need to go through so much information, you need to give your brain time to connect the dots. Today you're learning the basics of js in a month or two you're learning about api's, databases, servers and all the frameworks and platforms that come with it. You will soon be able to have a grasp of what's out there and what it's for and then you can focus down on frameworks and technologies that interest you.

yes definitely go easy on yourself (and dont be afraid to ask "stupid" questions). i found that learning how programming and computers work was what i call a "nonlinear" process. if you want to learn history, read history. sure there are a whole lot of other things to consider in the process of understanding history but, compared to learning how to program the basic process is to step through the events and gather as much relevant information as possible. you cant read, "the Pinkerton gun thugs and strike breakers opened fire on the striking laborers in Ludlow, Colorado at the behest of the US gov't and capitalist tycoons before walking through their makeshift encampment and setting each of their tents and shanties ablaze - many times with women and children still alive inside." and be terribly confused by the actual events that took place. this particular event is incredible and raises a million other questions, certainly. but as far as actually understanding the event, what took place, there is nothing to do but step through the historical record... contrast this with programming... (oh and yes, enjoy my planted historical plug about a very, very important event in US history) programming is "nonlinear" in the sense that, when you are first starting out, completely naive to what the hell a computer does or why and how programming languages do anything at all, you can go through long periods where it seems like you have accomplished absolutely nothing and have made zero progress. then, one day, out of nowhere, when you are absolutely convinced of your failings, something clicks. from the abyss comes a flood of understanding. you thought you were nowhere and then all of a sudden you are everywhere. this is what i mean by "nonlinear". there was no incremental steps along the way to help assure you of progress. there was nothing and then everything. this is why you remain steadfast in your efforts so long as your goals of learning how to program remain your interest. i promise you. you can learn the dark arts and once you do youll realize you can learn anything! oh yeah and dont be to impressed or intimidated by the amount of knowledge other programmers seem to possess. i can assure you that they do possess quite a bit of knowledge but once you clear a few learning humps you'll find learning new things to not only be enjoyable but that as you learn more and more the process gets easier and easier. that is you "learn how to learn" and given that the subject matter of computer science and programming has a whole lot of overlapping parts learning one thing leads to (or "sheds light on") other things. the trick is to get over those initial "learning humps", keep at it and you will, i am 100% certain of this!

Been programming since I was 12 or so, if you can count what I was doing at 12 programming. I'm in my fourth year of college for it now - here's my advice: Never be afraid to google something you don't quite understand and look for a different source. Sometimes it just takes the information or example code being written in a different way for it to make sense. If you're REALLY stuck - taking a quick 30-minute break to simply just go on a walk or grab a snack does wonders for letting information sink into your brain. Sometimes it takes a minute for the neurons to connect together in the right way. Taking a walk, even only a short one in the pouring rain/snow, really makes things click into place. It gives your brain a break and time to (importantly) _not think about the problem_ and is a fantastic tool for learning anything, not just programming. Another bit of advice - if you're having a horrible time debugging something, you can't find an answer online as to why it's doing what it's doing, and you're truly stuck - explain, out loud, your code to some sort of inanimate object. (People work too, if you're embarassed to talk to an inanimate object. They don't have to understand programming... just willing to hear you spout computer wizardry at them) It's called "The Rubber Duck Method", but it doesn't really matter what you use. Explain line-by-line what the code is doing, and what the problem you're having is. Eventually, you'll say something so profoundly "captain obvious" that a cartoon lightbulb will appear over your head with a sign that says "I'm with stupid". If it doesn't happen, you probably either didn't explain the part of code that's causing the problem, or you just need a longer break.

@@TheKd8lvt Thanks for the reply, dude. I'll give your suggestions a try the next time I'm frustrated/stuck. I'm definitely not too embarrassed to talk to myself or an inanimate object hahaha. Thanks again and good luck with your schooling.

@Females are the extention of Jews "Communism is a disease that is genetic and is cured by a bullet" is EXACTLY true. the evidence of it being true has been displayed and demonstrated everywhere throughout the history of the 20th century.

@@MrFoodMan66 you can't just tell someone exactly what they need to know, there are so many options that you just have to figure out why/what you want to code and then pick the appropriate tools, there's obviously a huge learning curve when it actually comes to learning those tools but to be a programmer you will need to learn them, nobody can expect to watch a video called learn how to be a programmer and walk away from it knowing exactly what to do. It's a legitimate profession that requires high skill and a fair bit of knowledge, this video gives someone a laundry list of jumping off points that can be easily researched/studied on their own, because at the end of the day programmers will have to constantly learn/study throughout their entire career, if you can't do that then just give up now :) happy new year

I think being specialized and having a portfolio built around that specialization is the way to go if you want to get employed. If you have a bit of everything but a whole lot of nothing in particular then youre less valuable for any one specific position.

​@@lazerhawk2192 The "you have to network part" doesn't give me confidence at all. It just comes down to complete luck if you ever even meet the right people. Nepotism and networking seem to be closely linked together. There are already so many stories of people who have barely even touched code and they are working as a junior dev. And in the future the job market for entry level positions will be even more rough. Think of chatGPT and other AI. Sure everyone laughs at them now, but in a couple years it could easily replace junior devs. I honestly think average programmers will be replaced faster than people working manual labour.

@GrandMonkey I don't believe average/entry level devs will be replaced by AI for a while, but the number will look like it's decreasing due to the bar being raised across the board. Today, everyone wants a staff/senior level person. It's all about risk and velocity. For the most part, nobody wants to take a chance on someone who's yet to prove themself in the job market. Though modern tech is in 'some' ways easier than tech of old, the sheer breadth of knowledge you need to be competent, and produce quickly, are higher than ever.

How would it fall out of favor? Being replaced by Rust kernels or something ? (genuine question: I'm a complete moron/ignorant)

@@themore-you-know The "how" is simply when somebody designs a better [thing] and people adopt it. But for this example, if you research something like "shortcomings of C", one could argue that a new language with C's pros combined with fixes to its shortcomings, you'd have a better [thing]. Then people may massively adopt it. Does Rust fill that spot? :shrug:

@@jebinho10, your reasoning... touché. Bravo. I'll go do that.

I am concerned with the lack of new C devs. There's so much written in C that needs to be maintained, but I dont know a single person who's trying to be a maintainer of some of these critical projects (kernels included). It might take a true successor lang to break through to get a sizeable pct of the masses into systems development.

I am currently learning C++ and hope my brain doesn't collapse lol

C++ is a great language for a first course in programming because you can either branch and go the C route simply by restricting your syntax, or you can transfer most of the OOP you learn to C# or Java. That said, I think python is a better beginner programming language, because not only is the learning curve the gentlest of slopes (and, excitingly, one without a summit), honestly, once you learn it there's a good chance you'll never have to learn anything else.

@@GSBarlev I agree that python is another good beginner language. I would say though that not learning anything else after that is a major mistake. Python doesn't work well as a language without other ecosystems making python bindings accessible. Python is just utterly slow. Great for prototyping, scripting, simple web applications, and machine learning. Not great for much else IMO. C++ is more of a trial by fire for those who aren't very familiar with computers especially, but learning how to actually work with memory is pretty important IMO, even when you go on to use a garbage collected language (or just use Rust lol).
