The truth behind coding schools.

Ma'am I am from Pakistan . And there is no coding schools . please give me the tips that what I do

Hi

Glad to see you again Gwen, thank you for sharing us your open-eyed opinion about how hard is learn to code. I hope to see you more frequently.

Thank you for putting this reality check out there. I agree with you 100%. We're now in a dev hype and there's a lot of exaggerated expectations.

You can earn your living by coding. But there are coders and engineers. If you don't have an engineering mind, it will be very difficult. In the Russian approach to coding, a lot of mathematics, discrete mathematics, algorithms and mathematical analysis are in the first place. And more
fundamental knowledge of low-level assembly languages, etc. This is how engineering thinking is formed. Need to work very hard.

Glad to see you again, Gwen.
Love your videos, and your honest and very accurate insights into the SE industry.

Hi Gwen, nice to see you !! you are a great teacher (english is not my native language) you explain very well all from scratch !! thanx to share your knownledge

@Faraday Academy Hi, can you share any honest reviews about Hack Reactor? Although I find it better learning on my own but sometimes I feel there is a need for a proper structure and accountability to gauge my progress. Thanks!

I video on Vuetify in conjunction with Vue 3 would be fantastic!

Glad, they are people like u. You said what I realized after more than a year learning. i ll be watching ur vuejs courses. Thank u again.

I agree with you. Learning a programming language is never easy to begin with. I see people claiming to early 6-figure plus after doing a 6-9 months programming classes. If that's the case, why would anyone wants to attend a university? Even with my technical background, coding a program is still hard for me.

God bless your heart.

These coding boot camps have a money back guarantee but I said how about I give you money after I land a job. They said no, so it sounded fishy

so true it took me a while to wrap my head around even the basics of coding<its a whole lot to take in<you have to be fully motivated

Greetings, thank you for putting this video out, I second it. I purchased full stack Web Dev course from a veteran developer that has a coding curriculum for children since the 90's. I had difficulty completing the self-paced course working F/t, attenfing children & a spouse. I finally completed the basic HTML portion so far. Fastforward a year & now I'm at a computer school taking classes for the full stack BUT content is way advanced & the instructor isn't teaching at my basic level. The class I've learned so far the most has been WordPress. We recently finished browser scripting & now started with React, I understand ZILCH, nada. I stopped asking to avoid the instructor's eye roll. He's turned somewhat nice now but too late, I'm behind, so I spoke to the owner, he says they have tutoring available. Let's see how that goes. I have access to the courses for life once I complete the full stack.
So the advice you give here is spot on, and if I may add to that what I'd say is to request to attend or "audit" the class(es) as much as possible before enrolling & committing.

Creating false hype is wrong it can cause severe damage to someone.

Hey, Gwen I think you really hit the issue that the massive marketing of coding schools with outright wrong promises brings to this world. I am pretty sure that any student who starts coding just because of the 6 figure income will fail. For me coding has always been like solving puzzles and I love challenging puzzles.
Now I do run a programming School and I am a bit concerned that beeing to honest with students is bad for the business but beeing too optimistic about the success chances or your students is really bad for your reputation as a School in the long run.

Thank you fir making these videos. They are really helpful!
