learning to code (3 month course) will land you a 70k job

Sounds like programming to me


Knowing the syntax of whatever language is only 10% of programming. I was an electrical engineer that transferred to development after getting a masters in comp sci and the one thing I can say that the guys with a BS in computer science have over me is their ridiculous knowledge of data structures, and algorithms. When shyt hits the fan and you really need someone to optimize your systems the CS guys are who you'll come running too to fix that shyt.

Of course it is...I guess what I meant was the actual process of developing and deploying products in a work environment. You're definitely employable coming out of college with a comp sci degree, but coming directly out of college, you might not have experience in actually making products, even though yes you do have the leg up on the abstract concepts and stuff. Most of the time I imagine companies who hire people from these bootcamps already have guys like that in senior level positions, so they look at people who have the experience in the other stuff to work under them to get products made.

Like I was in intern in charge of developing a mobile app -- im self taught, so when I left they hired someone in CS. He didn't know half of what I did at the end because I had been in that work environment, and not just class, so after around 2-3 months they let him go(or he resigned)

Why not get a real mans job

Learning to code in three months of solid 12-16 hour-a-day self-study sessions.
Can save you about 14k.
Get the books from the library or $6 each off of Amazon, get a free IDE, get on GitHub and StackOverflow as well as r/Programming, and get to work.

I'm surprised none of the 6 cert Coli brehs ain't making side paper teaching free information

To extend this a bit further:

Get a fairly powerful computer with at least 8GBs of RAM (more is better). Processor should be an Intel Core i7 (Xeon processors are better).
Harddrive should be at least a TB in size (3 1 TB drives in a RAID-5 array will be better).
Install a hypervisor OS. I recommend either Citrix XenServer or VMware VSphere.

Build a (or several) VMs (virtual machines).
Install the OS and IDE in the VM. You can even diversify by setting up 1 Windows IDE environment and 1 Linux IDE environment.

With the VMs, you can take snapshots of your machines before you make changes. If you mess up, just revert back from the snapshot.

To extend this even further, you could create a half decent backup infrastructure as well to go along with your virtualization server.

If you are just beginning to code that is overkill imo.

What you will be programming and compiling as a beginner, every standard issue laptop or computer will be capable of running.

subs need to delve into this

Word, homie wildin

I know I get on the Coli and TRL often. But I got to give it to you kats......this is great fukking information to pass on to Brothas and sistas out here.

Just to show there are opportunities out there if you got your mind right and willing to develop a skill and apply yourself.

Plus I appreciate y'all kats giving up knowledge to everyone on here for free.

Nothing but respect to you kats posting in here.....

I'm setting you up for now and in the future ......

Long term ... plus that setup is expandable, breh.

Meh. Shyt is still confusing for me. The only thing I understand is basic web development stuff like HTML and CSS.

 

[godliness]

Khan academy as a free coding course. Imma run thru that. See If i like it.

Then learn html5

Definitely, what @Tunez said.
HTML5, keep it up with CSS, then get a book on basic JavaScript.
Check out CodeAcademy and Khan Academy.
Keep up the work, it'll start to make more and more sense as you get deeper and deeper.

The main thing is to stick with it, because a lot of concepts won't make sense at first, but they all build on each other and things will start coming together eventually. You need to give yourself at least a year of dedicated study to really start making sense of this.
