Absolute pleasure working on this. Thanks again for the opportunity!

Today marks my programming journey. Yesterday, I bought a laptop specifically to learn how to code with my end goal being able shift my career at the start of 2025. Wish me luck and God bless you all.

Finally finished this course, after 19 pages of notes. Today marks the beginning of my programming journey at age 15. Good luck to anyone planning on starting too.

44:00 If anyone is confused about this example regarding rows and columns, the narrator has made a mistake and switched it to columns and rows instead. In the first example, (0,2 Position) will give you the answer of *Arnold* and not Clint. The second example (1:1 Position) will present you with *Ben* and not Chris. Remember, Rows first and columns second when it comes to Arrays. Rows run Horizontally and Coulmns run Vertically.

I'm finishing my bachelor's in CS next month and I'm watching this because you never want to forget the fundamentals, you always come back to this stuff.

I just started a coding class and the teacher is assuming all of the class already has basic notions of programming. A few of us don't, including myself. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

This is the ONLY beginner course I've found that actually explains stuff properly for... BEGINNERS! Every other course whether free or paid has started with "place a variable here" without explaining WHAT A VARIABLE IS. It's all fine a good to assume people know what the vernacular means. But what that is not, is "a beginner course". THIS, this is a beginner course! You guys start from zero and define the terms and vernacular of programming and make it accessible. I have learned so much from this one video, that all the other stuff I learned and didn't understand before, is making sense now. Thank you.

This tutorial is a CAREER SAVER. Ive been doing everything all wrong and had 0 clue on what I was doing, but this tutorial is so detailed yet easy enough for a newborn to learn, it taught me everything I needed to know! Thank you so much, freeCodeCamp, Im gonna buy a mug from your store for Christmas.

People should appreciate the effort of this channel because this channel is sharing knowledge more than we deserve for free and many people still don't know about this. What a SHAMEEE!!

Studying a Computer Science degree atm and skimmed through this video, can confirm this is really good and the fact this is free you guys are absolute legends. Good on ya

This made for a good refresher for me. One thing I would add from my first programming teacher: "Always comment your code." What he meant was to always have description comments like the pseudocode write-up method, because when you're collaborating or returning to an older project, no one wants to read pages of code, even with a descriptive nomenclature.

Finally, I did it, It took me around 6-7 hours to complete it including making notes and it has been very useful and I am fully satisfied. Thanks, Steven and Shawn.

I went to tech school in 2002 and went for graphic design and multimedia. My dream was to create my own video game. I never learned coding though and always wanted to learn the fundamentals. This video I've only watched about 20 minutes and I am completely hooked! I've been using my prior knowledge in my career in Adobe Photoshop and video editing programs but it hasn't helped me get closer to my dream of creating a game. This video has relit the fire I once had and gave me so much motivation to start creating my game. Thank you so much for putting so much work into these videos and sharing this incredible informative course with us. I wish I had you guys as teachers in tech school

This was so helpful. I am jumping into Web Languages and Interactive Media class this semester and I am so lost. This helped me out a lot and now I know what to do next to eventually understand the class material better. Thank you so much!

cant believe im actually taking notes like in an actual class.. 2020 has definitely changed me

I just finished this course after 4 days!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful introduction. I will be starting Data Analytics course, I hope sometime in the future, I’d look back and thank myself for taking this big step. All the best to myself and others like me 🥳

This is hands down the best teaching video on the subject. The presentation fresh straight forward and accurate. Kudos to these guys.

I wish I had this resource 15 years ago when I was struggling through my 1st semester of Computer Science learning Java. I was so lost I totally lost interest in attempting coding, but this makes me want to give learning programming another go.

After watching this course I got fall in love with computer science...... Thank you sir Best channel Best learning source

Credit to @ethereal9454 for picking this up and posting it, just thought it should be higher up in comments.

you guys did a fantastic job. Im an hr in and im getting more curious as it goes on, its the way you describe the definitions using real life everyday things that make it are clear and logical to me. thank you for your time and effort, I have no idea what exactly what im getting into but I don't mind the time spent im going to the library to get more books !

I want to take a moment and thank you guys for making this video, I am extremely grateful. This video was a foundation and I wanted that as I felt lost, thanks.

Seriously? I was just thinking of learning the fundamentals again after I learnt Python from FCC and they uploaded it. FCC people, you are the heroes we want but don't deserve, instead we're stuck at college

Thank you. I'm considering pursuing something with programming and coding but am entirely new to it all, this helps it make so much more sense...

21:30 types of variables (interger 21:44, boolean 21:14, float 22:29, double, string 22:51, char 23:39)

Sincere thanks for making this. I'm trying to make a transition in my career from being a marketing writer to a technical writer and this was the first stepping stone.

After a week of trying, notes and countless rewinds. I have finished it and it was well worth it. This was amazingly consise (i think), but more importantly, The way these guys descirbed things was just SO good, breaking things down into their simplest elements and slowly building the way up to the bigger branches was awesome. So thank you greatly to all of those that were involved!!

Started to learn programming this weekend. This is the best tutorial I found for dipping my toes and learning the “lingo” of programming. The video is also visually pleasing. Thanks again I just subbed to learn more of your videos

I'm a French as a foreign language online teacher with a huge passion for web design and a desire to find out more about IT generally. I went through a Language, Literature and Philosophy route in High School in France so I'm not the best at Math as yet. However, I watched this entire series in 3 hours, going back at times to rewatch a part of it. As a teacher, I have never seen someone be clearer on a harder, more technical topic. The fact I understood 70 per cent of all that with my fabulous Math and IT level is a testament to how amazing a teacher you are. Thank you SO MUCH for this, and I'll check other videos and courses you have on offer: AND the web design HTML and CSS course I have started following on a different platform has already referenced you at least once and told us students how great you guys are. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much for this! :)

I love how calmly he said "let's eat grandma"

An excellent video, can't believe this is completely free. Really motivated to continue with my web development journey, and cleared up some initial misunderstanding that I had about coding and programming in general. Will direct my friends to watch this in the future for sure!

I learn best with fun metaphors and the ones used in this video to teach the concepts are fantastic. Thank you for explaining it this way!

great video, took about 6 hours with note taking and replaying certain sections, but it finally clicked and i understood it. Thanks for taking your time to make these videos.

Recommendation. When you started the topic with Arrays, it is better to start with the fact that arrays are different than lists in where a list can hold on different elements (String, Int, Bool etc.), while an array can only hold on of each element (Strings only, Int only, Bool only etc). It will make much more sense throughout the rest of the lesson.

The time and effort put into this video is extremely noticeable, and appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for this video! I recently started a full-length data science programming course after attempting several smaller courses on my own and doing a computer science principles course in high school, yet coding hasn't come easily to me. This video has been extremely helpful in coming back to the basics and understanding the why behind the functions I am working with

Your channel is like a hidden gem on KZfaq. So glad I found it!

This is absolutely insane guys! thank you so much this was really helpful :D Have a wonderful day and thanks a bunch for helping so many people enjoy coding!!!

Man we got this without ads is 😎

Thank you such for creating this video. It was SUPER OVERWHELMING towards the end but extremely interesting. Practice, practice, practice is all it is called for. Thank you for the broken down explanations, much appreciated. 🙏🏾

Your energy and enthusiasm are contagious. Love it!

I really love the refresher portions of this video - where you go over learning points for a second time!

Me at 3am : let's learn programming😁 Okay so after watching 20mins I learned *Computers are DuMb*

Finally, I couldn't wait to finish this up. But it definitely needs rewatch. Thanks Steve and Shawn, you're real G's❤🤝

This course is super helpful for beginners! Thank you so much for all the work you all put into this project.

watched it all as a refresher to my first semester of CS and you literally covered about a couple dozen hours of lectures/reading into this short timeframe - amazing!!!!

trying very hard to teach myself programming at 30 years old and this is proving to be instrumental to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this!

Thanks this video really helped to learn the basics of the string stuff i was a bit confused on that stuff so really helps! love your vids man keep up the great work! :)

Thanks for this. I recently was offered a c# course, but i lack the fundamentals of programming logic, so this is sure to help me out a lot without spending money. Thank you!

I've been watching this video slowly over a few weeks, really solid stuff. Thank you

I've been exploring programming for a good few years on and off. I wish I found this kind of thing much earlier. Great job.

Love the way these guys break down each stage. Starting from scratch.

This is a GREAT video!! Thank you both so much! I was able to learn a lot about programming here.

This was a fantastic idea. Well done and thank you all. I've been a novice to experienced user of different systems for years but only recently have I decided to, in honor of all my family and friends who've spent 33 years telling me to do so, "get into computers". While a lot of this video is a refresher for me, the simplified explanations and detailed examples make it unique and very easy to comprehend. Thank you. I could give a big, long, and emotional reason as to why I've decided to make this change in my life but I'll simply say that I'm probably not the only one to has a slightly deep connection to the focus of this video. Thank you guys or gals. Sincerely, Sheddy

I've been wanting to learn programming for awhile, but had absolutely no idea of what it all entails. This video really helped to give me that, thanks so much! I'm so excited to start my journey into computer software.

exactly what i was looking for omg. i'm a 16 yo art student that just wanted to learn how to code as a hobby, so this course was a great introduction before diving into js since i'm done with html/css. thanks so much for creating this invaluable free content!

You guys have saved me, my new job requires some basic coding skills and I did not know where to start, this is amazing, THANKS SO MUCH.

Thank you so much for putting up this video! All basic concepts are explained in a really clear way in a really short time. I love this channel and how it focus in making complex ideas simple and accessible for anyone. It has been a great inspiration to create my own.

I've spent hours trying to figure out where to start. With absolutely zero experience or knowledge, I've been lost trying to watch videos on where to start. All the "starter" videos seem like they are for people with previous experience. THIS is the video I've been looking for. Thank you! You have my sub.

I finished this video for 3 days. It was exhausting for sure but totally worth it. Took my notes and I'm ready to jump in the world of Programming. Thank you very much for this!

Wow, this is exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver!

I've been doing for a while self thought and I read many books and watched many tutorials, but this video was yet the best one. Clear explanation and awesome examples for illustration. Thank you NullPointerException! 🙂

Amazing video! Two beginner level courses condensed into a couple hours. The tips at the end are very helpful. Thanks.

This was really helpful! Thank you all so much. Ngl first time commenting about how something helped me on a yt video: Y'all made me even more excited about go learning to code. Keep up the good work. 💪

So glad that I found this channel!! I have never recommended anything to anyone, but now I will!! Awesome commentary voices and even easier to follow script!! I am even more interested in learning the way of modern technology and computers now than I was twenty minutes ago when I first started the video!!

This is not only a great tutorial. It's also a great example of why designers exist.

Thank you guys for putting this together. Has a very short attention span during programming classes at college and university ... so this has been a wonderful resource for me to learn the fundamentals. Hoping to learn c and python over the next few months

Thank you so much Steve and Shawn for this tutorial,really is about to start something huge in my life

Excellent introduction before I start my programming course. Thank you immensely.

This is amazing. I am from the bioscience field with virtually no experience in computer science. I learned SO much from watching this single video! Thx!

My IT friends said programming is difficult and I said that's the main reason I want to do it. I like challenges and it doesn't matter how long it will take me to master it but I will never give up.

I'm speechless, if you can understand it you can make it simple. You guys just made it simple. Thank you

This is a very good course and really helped me out a lot! I'm about to study computer programming at uni, this definitely gave me a head start and helped me out a lot! Thank you guys so much

This is some world-class teaching, the loop part was totally on point. For a moment there I thought youtube was malfunctioning 😂😂😂😂

This is amazing to follow along with Cornell notes. Amazing analogies too, they helped me a lot.

This is a really good video. I’m in my third year majoring in computer science and this is pretty solid. I wish I watched this before starting college.

This course helped me out SO much! It was such a good introduction to the world of programming, you guys are amazing! I'm studying Certificate IV in programming I.T at TAFE. I watched this video before I started the course, It helped me SO much and gave me a good headstart! Thank you guys so much!

Thank you for all the quality content you continue to provide for us FCC! Also, special thanks to all the amazing Developers/Engineers in FCC's videos!

This was such a great course. Although I know most of it, it was a great refresher and also helped me see the gaps in my knowledge. Thank you for this!

Thanks so much, coming from a family & friend group of coders and understanding none of it, this was a fantastic introduction to the subject. Great video, thanks!

After 6h and almost a week since I started taking notes and studying this, I’ve finally finished it.. I finally finished my first ever programming course/tutorial and can’t wait to learn some more and actually start to practice. I’ve decided I’ll be learning python as my first coding language 🤞🏼but first I gotta watch that maths course for programmers 😮‍💨

Always great to stumble across these and make sure I haven't forgotten the basics, thanks for the glossary at the beginning, huge time saver! (Gives me time to check out another one of your videos :))

I know this has been mentioned a few times, but at 44:15, covering 2D arrays, I believe that position 1,1 would be Ben, not Chris. This is overall a great vid though and sometimes it is very helpful to refer back to the fundamentals in order to clear out any bad-habit/incorrect thought processes in your programming.

When they explained the loop aspect, they really got me with repeating a phrase several times, i tought it was a trouble in the video. great content!

I began my jorney a while back when doing engineering in uni (C++ and Java), I dabbled in it a little bit then just gave up. Just few months ago I decided to create a trading bot using Python, but this time I wanted to get the fundementals right. While searching on the web I came across your presentation. Absolutely brilliant! Amazing work guys. This will make my Python (and other languages) journey so much fun, even beyond my big broject. Thanks again!

Really good! As someone completely broke this is coming in super handy to eventually turn my life around and give me a new professional start! Thank you a lot!

thanks FCC! Ive been trying to learn this elsewhere so this was amazingly useful.

Thank you for teaching us basic notions of programming and I think it is way more than just basic knowledge. It was absolutely effective 2 hours. It was super helpful. Thanks again :))

Thank you for the great introduction! I took lots of notes and will be starting CS in college soon. Cannot thank the team enough for providing such a great resource and learning tool for free.

Outstanding video-lessons! Guys, thanks for this treasure! When you know the core ideas, you able to understand the whole process!

Thank FCC for sharing the knowledge...more than greatly appreciated for your contributions to the community.

I've just finished this tutorial, thank you guys for the great effort of making this easy to understand ❤

thanks very much after i finished watching, i felt like i have relearned all the computer science knowledge once again. i am a International Business Master with a Bachelor in CS, i have gave up many job opportunities in business fields as i did not know where i would be in ten years. after i decided to become a programming engineer. now i had so many CS fundamentals from this video and the last 4-hour one from you about Python learning, i could not feel more confident to start my brand new career in IT field. I really don't know how lucky i was to have found this channel. Thank you!!

This is what society needs. Great people, giving great things to help others. A very kind gesture given without pay, you are one of the heroes of modern education. May God bless.

Hey there thank you for this video helped me a lot. Was able to write code and debug it for 1st time.

Thank you for this amazing content. Many online courses and bootcamps fail to go over the foundations and this is exactly what we needed
