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

[↓R↑LYB]

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.

Breh, are you a developer because the shyt you just posted is some of the worst fukking advice I've read in this entire thread

Here's the thing. These coding bootcamps are pumping out all of these candidates, so you might be able to get a high salary out the gate, but how long are you going to be able to keep that salary? Programming is a very intensive field, and right now there is a rush for programmers, but the lower end of the employment market is going to get flooded with candidates out of these bootcamps. Simple economics dictate that when the supply is greater than the demand, then prices go down.

The compensation for these lower level programmers is going to go down sooner or later. Now some of these guys have these high salaries with only that 3 month bootcamp, but if they're not dedicated and producing, they're going to get washed out.

Realistically, you can only learn so much in 3 months, especially about programming. You can be productive, but you're going to have to put in a lot of work outside of your job exploring concepts to keep up. Technology, especially the programming world, can move very fast. If this isn't something you love, then I'd be wary about entering into the field.

Try it out before you go rushing for programming gold. Try codecademy or some of the simpler 'get started programming' sites to see if it's for you and then that'll help you make an assessment of whether you want to jump into the field.

spot on.

Is coding the same thing as coating(i.e. painting)

Yep this coding shyt is a free for all brehs

As someone who has been through one of these programs and taught one of the programs I would warn against them. These stats are cherry picked and are not officially reviewed by any organizations. A lot of time they are using very fishy statistical practices to get these numbers to look like this.

If you think you are going to go from knowing nothing about programming to getting a job for 70k in 3 months by attending one of these bootcamps you are wrong . I think more people should look into coding but instead of throwing 10k away on one of these bootcamps they should go to freecodecamp.com or the theodinproject.com These have all of the material you need to get a job as a fulltime dev.

I got a job after 6 months of learning to code. I am working remote full time for 50k but I also spent 8-10 hours a day every day studying. Once you get your first job and get your foot in the door it is all downhill from there.

If anyone has any questions holler at me I would love to put some ppl on.

That's a lie breh, @Xtraz2 posted an article that says you make 70k by just learning html in 30 days

nikkas might as just well suggested a server farm.

Breh I gotta voicemail for a position last week paying $85/hr that I ignored because I didn't want to do the 40 minute commute. Ask these cats to start posting their receipts and they'll type up the Gettysburg Address without answering any of your questions

i just signed up for freecodecamp tho

don't be surprised if i get that $85/hr job you passed up on by the end of the month

What do you need, a Pc or a Mac?
Code from both?

Classes and time to learn at home. That's it?

Why the fukk would somebody need to do all this to learn how to CODE?

1. You could use either. But to keep confusion down as you're a new beginner, I would suggest using a windows-based laptop since

a. you're probably most familiar with that OS
b. most coding books/tutorial videos will use windows-based environments

2. You don't need a new laptop to get the job done. When I got started, I had most shyttest/weakest laptop of all time

3. As for classes/time to learn at home, bro you gonna need PASSION. Without that, none of this shyt is going to mean much because the shyt ain't easy. This isn't a hustle or quick come-up, this shyt will pretty much become your life.

Most coding tutorials/videos actually assume you're using Mac/Linux. I'm on a Windows and run into that problem frequently
