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

[kevm3]

There's the thread for those of you who are serious about learning and want to be among a community of fellow programmers.

python

That's a lot of shyt. Going to hop on C#

 

[Rozay Oro]

Yup.

This dude does a good job explaining it.

Wow very good video. I think I'm going to buy a C# book. I already know a bit

Can't always believe a small subset of information. You have to be careful

Coding does get you money, it's true. But GOOD coders. Programming is as much as knowing how to solve an issue. You need an analytic mind which is why there are so many buggy and vulnerable programs out there

IMO starting to know how to program in any language should be supplemented with a general computer science based course to understand Algorithms and problem solving, security and best practices.

You can't treat it like those get rich quick schemes. It will take years and not 6 weeks as some of these boot camps advertise

What they don't tell you in those stats is this.

They don't count the people who wash out of the camps, so of course its 97% of people. The rest were kicked out for poor performance.

If you get a job making $40k a year, they count that as a win. If one person gets an 80k a year job, they can put it on the books.

A lot of the people going in there already have degrees. Meaning they are college educated changing careers.

You have to really really really really like solving problems with a different way of thinking.

I figured out that I really like front-end stuff and I'll probably stick with that (HTML,CSS,Javascript).

Don't quit your day job just yet. You better dabble first.

And the folks clowning @bdizzle



Dude put in so much work in that sticky thread, he was the reason I got my A+ to begin with

Got an interview Tuesday

I like front end too. Something about programming for interaction and people is much more satisfying to me than programming for other machines and servers. What sticky thread btw?

I started this yesterday and I'm really liking it. I'm working my way through the front-end development portion and hope to be done with it in 3 months. I've also been learning with codeacademy which is also good.

It's a good start. It had a lot of shyt I did in school but way more condense

I've been hearing the freecodecamp certificates are legit as far as merit is concerned. Some of them are lengthy though, 800 hours on the projects alone, but it's good to know people in the workforce take it seriously
