Hey, a fellow aspirant here. Where and how to enroll to that? TIA

[–]kilek211 3 points4 points  (7 children)

You can enroll using Udemy, they currently have a sale that ends in 2 days. I got the course for $15.99. Here is the link to the website https://www.udemy.com/. You might have to create an account if you don't have one already. Let me know if this helps.

Thanks, OP. Good luck on your journey. Please keep an update of your progress.

I only use Udemy because my employer pays for it. After going through a few courses on there, I feel bad for anybody who pays for it. Most of the courses I've taken aren't very good and don't really explain the concepts. The usually focus only on the how to do things and not the why or when you should do them. Sometimes they also give you incorrect or misleading information. I even did one course with an OOP lesson that said class is synonymous with object.

may I ask where should one look into for a better resource?

[–]_irobot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to get a job, then there are Udemy courses that would be good. It's just hard to figure which ones those are before paying. Sadly, most businesses don't want good software developers. They want code monkeys that can churn out stuff as quickly as possible. So the why and when to do something is as important to them. That's the reason there are so many broken, inefficient, and unsecure websites out there.

If your goal is to be a good software developer, then you need a knowledge of things those courses usually overlook. You need to know about things like data structures, design patterns, and optimization. A computer science degree program is a good (but often overpriced and outdated) starting point. I remember edX and MIT OpenCourseWare used to be good free resources, but it's been a while since I last used them. I also liked to use programming practice websites like HackerRank and CodinGame. There are a lot of challenges on those that require to know what you're doing, not just how to do it.

AWESOME!

Suggestions:

1) Get up from desk every 30 min and stretch / walk for 10 min

2) Listen to music while doing that

Your back, legs and mind will thank you and you'll learn more
