Simple Programmer Podcast

So, a little while ago I released my 2017 channel trailer which a LOT of people ended up feeling motivated and asking me a lot of questions about it.

In this video, I received a very interesting which I thought I should answer in this channel:

"FocusMrbjarke
Can you do a video on what made you decide to be a fucking bulldog and how you did it?"

So, here it is! In this video I'll share with you why I said that and how I became a "fucking bulldog", which changed my life completely, especially when it comes to achieving my goals and changing my life.

Programming is HARD, right?

At least this is what some programmers think. Today I've received a question from a reader telling me that he felt that programming was hard and he felt unmotivated.

He couldn't learn and he spent all day at home watching TV and etc... He couldn't just get his life ahead and go on with his projects.

So... How do we get around this? How do you find motivation so that you become a software developer?

Whether you're choosing a language-specific or platform-oriented credential, it's worth looking at my top five programming certifications for software developers.

I've talked several times before about attending to coding boot camps, doing nanodegrees but I've never actually talked about the best online programming certifications that are out there.

Nowadays, the entire programming workforce is changing so much and there are A LOT more options for those who want to become developers that, if you really want that, you should consider all possibilities.

Developer and programming skills are in high demand, and this isn't changing anytime soon. This is why achieving a developer certification can help you keep an edge in the market by making you stand out among your peers. And the programs are getting stronger each day, especially with those online certifications.

So... What are the top 5 online programming certifications?

Most software developers want to work in the US.

Software Development is definitely a field that is on fire and it is not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. Each day a new field just appears, new companies rise, new technologies emerge and the field changes itself rapidly.

The US is definitely the home of some of the big companies out there, and the innovation we see in the Silicon Valley is a HUGE thing.

This is why so many software developers want to work in the US... However... How could that be possible?

What are the options for you, as a foreign developer, to work in the US? And most of all... What are the easiest/most effective ways?

Have you ever wondered what are the best books to learn Python?

"Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn't catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on. The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python's introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective."

A lot of developers feel like they don't know enough. They want to know if their skills are good enough before they take on any opportunity and any new jobs.

I see a lot of developers suffering from this. They never feel ready, they end up spending A LOT of time studying and getting ready before jumping into any new opportunities.

They often ask me: John, how can I measure my programming skills? Is there a way to know if I'm skilled enough for the job?

In this video, I'll tell you how you can measure your programming skills and know if you're ready to take on your next developer opportunity.
