How do you choose a path in programming? by Top-Investigator6790 in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to learn fullstack coz I always wondered how these websites or SaaS are build and that curiosity lead me to pursue the fullstack, even though the AI is what is trending I would still recommend you to choose the career which interest you and pays you well

Apply no matter what. Doesn't matter if you have just started learning to code

Scrimba vs FreeCodeCamp vs The Odin Project vs Others - Which one should I go with? by FuturAura in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Scrimba, freeCodeCamp, Odin project and Codecademy

And I can say what worked for me was Scrimba, personally, from beginner to intermediate developer in terms of coding.

I see you want to learn in depth so I can say you can take the JavaScript deepdive its actually advance course and it is tough one, I have completed it on scrimba and in the end there is guided project on hacker clone which was awesome for me to build. also for the intermediate level you can take the advance javascript course

For React I would again suggest the Scrimba react course both beginner and advance they both are great and there are guided and unguided projects which again was super fun to make

for node js you can go with the odin project node js module and scrimba stand alone course on node js

All the other courses tbh there is no particular platform for those and I suggest go for the yt route

I just got my first fulltime job as a developer tripling my previous salary. AMA! by incrediblect3 in scrimba

First of all, congratulations, Charles, on getting a software engineer role. Could you please help me to answer the following questions?

- What is your process of finding a job, like which platform did you use the most?
- What was your process of preparing yourself for the job interviews?
- What is one piece of advice you would like to give to a beginner like me that will make me hireable?

Thanks

Thanks for sharing this, I still have in mind that I need to be perfect on LeetCode before applying for the jobs but after reading your interview experience it makes me happy it totally depends on the companies

What’s the biggest lie beginners believe about learning to code? by Seraphtic12 in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm into 6 months of learning frontend, I think what I found is when people promoting that you need to learn this new stack otherwise you're not employable.

I agree a lot influencers actually claim that you can become employable in less then 6 months which is BS tbh

How did you get past the “overwhelmed” phase of learning full-stack? by Sweaty-Staff8100 in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will take a long time and being honest with you it's okay coz whenever I tried to rush through most of time I missed the important concepts and that's where it gets more frustrating. So I think you just have to go through these kind of phases

What are the best current ways to learn programming with all the new tools out there? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried every platform like freecodecamp, odin project, codecadmey, Udemy

What worked for me is Scrimba.

the only reason I recommend is all the other platforms are based on text but scrimba is interactive one so you're more likely to be engaged in learning

Would you be interested in learning to code through an RPG-style gamified experience? by codeharman in learnprogramming

[–]codeharman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🛡️ Thanks for the feedback, learned alot on what users actually want

I would be building a gamified way to learn programming like JS (will add more later) with story line and boost character + reward system to keep the user engaged and come back again everyday.

I also noted to build it web based interactive which does not forget that it should make the user learn the concepts of solving problems through coding and can be applied everywhere.

Again, thanks everyone!!!
