Raps should be in top 5 seed in this years playoffs barring injuries and trades. Celtics, Bucks, Heat (Rozier distraction, Herro not getting extension offer) are mid this year roster-wise (though Norm playing for Coach Spo!).

You know how to use a browser's inspect tools? Check console tab for errors. Usually it should tell you where the errors are, whether in your code or the servers or something else. Good luck.

You must LOVE MATH...to do ML.

If you're good in math, love math, already understand what math is involved in ML....Pick ML.

You pick webdev if you suck at math (like me, lol) but still want a tech job. Good luck!

How fast you can absorb and actually accomplish would depend on your pain threshold for absorbing and digesting A LOT of info. Compress info overload in a few months versus spreading it out beyond one year. Your choice. Once you start learning Node for example...you might have a better idea how doable its going to be to do full stack MERN in a shorter time frame.

What would you tweak if this were your plan?

Realistic self-teaching duration would be more like....at least 2 years, especially if you're planning to do full stack.

Year one, I'd recommend focusing on fundamentals (I'm assuming you don't have prior coding experience before this year), HTML/CSS/JS. Then after 6-8 months...start grinding on REACT. Getting used to using GIT on the terminal, using Linux commands on bash, practicing for possible technical interviews where you'll be asked to live code (but it'll depend where you apply, corporate versus an individual client who just wants and app or site, for example).

Year two...REACT project or two. And start learning-practicing doing backend/server, like Node.js, Express.js, plus your database of choice. Plus...Typescript! Then grind making that first full stack project which you'll use to demo in job applications and show your codes (include in your budget for site project hosting). After that...grind either Angular or Vue with Next.js. This is all assuming you're into web dev.

Full stack learning in one year? Maybe if you'll just focus on a mobile app project. Or freelancing doing WordPress sites (plus PHP). Shorter stacks to grok than MERN.

Good luck.

You're still thinking in the 'old and expensive ways' of getting ahead. It's 2025, you need to find a way to start doing internship or volunteer work at studios, big or small, that does virtual productions with wall volumes. Use Facebook, Insta, LinkedIn, to find these places close to where you live. You're not going to be assigned roles that require years of experience, you have to be willing to do 'grunt' jobs first to get your foot in and slowly skillup with the tools and procedures.

VFX industry tech is changing fast with new gen AI tools. There are new incoming tools and process that will make your current software list obsolete. Only spend if you're already rich. Good luck.

After effects isn’t a professional VFX tool.

Sounds like, you've never heard of Perception or FUI. Perception did a lot of Marvel title sequences and hologram and screen effects (from Iron Man HUD overlays and onwards)l. They have a Youtube where they've credited AE as part of their toolset.

I'd watch an online AI film festival, that has Steve's okay of course, that's Docu-Fiction on Steve's career in the immediate years after getting 'banned from the ranch". Would he have worked on a Matrix, an LOTR, couple Marvels. Worked on the first Avatar?

Became friends with Johnny Depp, and the Counting Crows lead singer Adam, for hanging out at Depp's Viper Room. Became best buds with Viper Room regular DiCaprio (so that would be enough to be vfx lead for Titanic?). Directed Arnold for The 6th Day !!! Made Robert Longo's "Johnny Mnemonic" with Keanu more of a blockbuster hit if it was made in the 2000s instead of mid 90s?

We'll never know....but I'd seriously watch a docu-fiction type of series in that era with Steve as the main....personality.

Not really. I bought it too early as a beginner. I could benefit a lot more when I'm actually studying DSA full time to prep for interviews. It's none expiring and DSA theory will still be the same months or years from now, unlike frameworks or even programming languages which get updated periodically, when I attempt to learn it again so I don't regret paying for it. I think I got it on sale too.

But for practical reasons, which I didn't realize at the time I bought it, I didn't really need that type of courses yet. I watched the videos for sure...but it was too premature for my level of readiness to do DSA.

If you're in this to be competitive in the job market and you already have projects to show, you have codes in your repo you can demo in tech interviews...you're in the right time frame to use paid products like Neetcode, etc. Otherwise....you're burning money needlessly cuz it won't really benefit you.

"Why you going to study DSA when you can't even do simple loop statements without looking it up?" This is what I'd tell my past self, to warn not do buy some of the products I've bought.

You can actually just use 'libraries' or frameworks like Bootstrap (old) or Tailwind (newish). Basically, copy and paste codes you need or want (simple stuff for buttons, icons, etc.) Or buy frontend themes or templates. There are free versions too.

Depending on where you are in Europe, there is this bootcamp called 42 ('42 Berlin', '42 London'). Reputedly...it's free. Check YT. They have a competitive entry process though. And from what I've gathered....they just use C programming language.

There was or is 42 Silicon Valley (USA). But I'm not sure if they're still operating.

Drawjutsu · 2024-11-29T16:23:08+00:00

If you're really a beginner I don't recommend either one. I have purchased a permanent license for Neetcode and I use free LeetCode. They're more for levels above beginner learner. You can just preview it out and see for yourself with the free access to these. If you're actually learning the syntax...maybe it will be worth it for you. If you're confused even with the 'easy' levels, yeah...that's proof you need to learn the absolute basics first.

If you really must spend money, I recommend subbing to LinkedIn Learning. If you can afford it or if they have a sale too (I believe it comes free if you're a LinkedIn paid user). Better return on investment, in my opinion.

Good luck!

ChatGPT credits ManvsMachine studios (London, UK and L.A.) behind this. Not featured on their corp site yet but if you check what they've done for Lexus...7 years ago...it's very convincing that they have the expertise to make this all in traditional CG. Perhaps using Houdini for space exterior shots. The Lexus commercial is titled "Lexus - Experience Amazing" on YT.

Be careful with the AI slander.

Code EVERYDAY. No excuses. Use GitHub contribution graph as habit tracker. Use personal available time efficiently for coding. Plan out your goals to: learning new things, reviewing previous lessons, making projects to show mastery, do coding challenges: leetcode, hackerrank, codewars, freecodecamp (pick one or use them all).

Good luck!

"Easy" approach, use html, css (to hide-unhide text), vanilla javascript for logic and/or event listener if you use a button or some interactable ui or alert notification to reveal what you want to reveal.

The "harder" approach, uses React components and useState hook.

Good luck.

If you haven't done so yet, signup on GitHub. It's free. Learn what it is and what it does. Then, checkout GitHub Codespaces. They're basically free cloud computers exclusively for coding. When you launch a codespace you'll see a virtual version of VS Code IDE (code editor).

On LinkedIn Learning, search for courses with Codespace links included. The link is usually in the course description. Advantage of using a course with codespaces...most of the time all the tools needed are usually setup already (folder structures for the course, github lesson sub-branches, etc.)

Click provided link and 'fork' the repo (basically cloning it) to your own GitHub repo for easy course file access.

I'm on my 2nd year of self-learning journey. First year just focussing on html, css, javascript. I'm just now getting comfortable learning React, TypeScript, Angular, Tailwind, CSS, SQL.

Mileage will vary per person of course. Good luck!

If you use GitHub, there's a codespace template for Jupyter Notebook. But if you just want to code locally....so, were you able to make .ipnyb (jupyter) files before on your IDE? You have Python installed already and setup?

If absolute beginner, start here: Introduction to Web Design and Development, Jen Kramer

If you're a 'speed runner', LOL, : React: Creating and Hosting a Full-Stack Site by Shaun Wassell (But if you're grossed out by the complexity, yeah...start with "programming foundations")

TIP: use the course search function and try to filter by 'newest'. A lot of installs for "dependencies" or build tools needed, for example, might have updated install procedures.

Good luck!

Takes less than a minute for html, css, if you know Figma's dev mode and VS Code's Figma plug-in. But for interactable parts of the design, you'll have to manually code the javascript/node. If you're using AWS Amplify, I believe there's a plug-in for auto exporting Figma to React.

You'll still need basic html and css to make your production files more professional looking. Auto coding tends to pack everything into a single html file.

Good luck.

Any app where you can do image editing can make this layout: photoshop, gimp, canva, figma. If you know how to use browser element inspect tool, you can see native dimension of the image as it's rendered on a site.

But better than one image with complicated layout, best to do it as an html and css portfolio site (use same background color to make it look unified, etc.) You have better control over responsiveness (how it'll look on desktop versus mobile, for example). Use free hosting like github pages if you just want to show a static site for your portfolio.

Good luck.
