Programming Intro - How to Self Study Coding

I started learning PHP back in 2011 after finding your videos, taught myself to code while driving a semi in the sleeper of the truck at night. It just takes the effort.

You've unknowingly changed my life for good. Your videos are awesome. Never stop making videos. You've helped a lot of people like us. God bless you!

1:30 - "I want to be impervious to layoffs... " Yeah... I chuckled too! ;)

Learning programming is like learning how to speak in your native tongue. You can later become a polyglot depending on which country you end up living. On the same way, once you know how to program in one language, it's not that challenging any more to learn another language. Don't get caught up in all the noise online about which language is best. If you are just starting out, just pick an easy to learn language such as Python or PHP. You can later leverage the fundamentals you learned from that point when you later need to learn another language such Java, C++, etc.

I learned to program about 6 years ago from your unity videos. I still remember how amazing it was to have those first games run. Since then I have learned more than 20 languages and even though I have drifted away from unity and game development, and more into node and backend web dev, game development will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making these awesome tutorials years later for new people to try and experience the same thing that I did.

Eli sir. I accidentally stumbled upon your vlog and I must say with all the resources for research and study at my disposal, your view and perspective in the C.S./I.T. areas is exhilarating and pragmatic. Your attention to detail is spot on, you don't sugar what say. This is so important because many young people are being misled and manipulated. In this field, either you possess a certain quality/type or you don't. You point this out clearly. This career choice can be beautiful or disastrous. I want to say Thankyou and keep the videos coming, especially the arduino and cloud teaching. Great for applying coding Algorithms and inputting data into derived structures. A new loyal subscriber.

Eli the computer guy!! Woot woot! Yet another Che Ching comment for Silicon dojo derby 🐎!

When I started i could fall asleep as soon I began to listen to something about coding on youtube)))). I felt lost stupid and bored. after 3 weeks of sort of learning i feel like i m really interested in programming.

42:16 Lol that outro almost killed me.

Eli's explanatory teaching methods + humble nature have made my learning journey less difficult and WAY less frustrating. THANK YOU Eli!
