Recently, I started a 99 Design contest so that I could get a SP T-Shirt designed for me. Everything went smoothly, and I don't have anything to complain about that.

However, at the same time, I have received an email from a company asking if I was interested in knowing more about quotes for printing and shipping those T-Shirts, something that I've not started to worry about yet.

I thought: Wow... What a coincidence, right? Yeah... You're right. What a coincidence. Then, I realized what was really behind all of this.

And this is exactly what I wanted to address in this video. How you need to think outside the box if you really want to get a job and how it can positively impact your career.

Coding can be hard and take a lot of time. Building a product, software or app from scratch is definitely a very hard task and it takes a LOT of time. You need to get through all the process of writing the code, imagining the structure, debugging, etc.

Of course, this isn't a problem if you were hired to do this. However, this can turn out to be a real pain in the ass if you're an entrepreneur or manager of any kind.

Working for a company means not only knowing and understanding the technical side. More and more, companies are searching for employees that know their stuff, not only technically but also socially. And this is what I call soft skills.

Soft skills is a synonym for "people skills." The term describes those personal attributes that indicate a high level of emotional intelligence. Unlike hard skills, which describe a person's technical skill set and ability to perform specific tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles and industries. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get -- and keep -- the job.

In this email, I receive a question from an employer saying that his employee lacked soft skills. He was an awful person to work with and this was making the process of working with him undoable.

What should he do in this case? Watch this video and find out!

Java is definitely one of the most popular languages of all time. Practically, everyone knows Java, even people that are not programmers or developers.

According to Statistic Times, when it comes to programming languages popularity, "Java is the most widely popular programming language in both Index (PYPL and TIOBE). Java has a 23.6 percent and 18.24 percent developer share in PYPL and TIOBE Index, respectively. Java is taking lead by 10.3 percent and 7.28 percent in PYPL and TIOBE Index, respectively in the global ranking. In India, Java is ahead by 6.5%. But in the US, Java is ahead by only 2.4%. The share of Java has decreased compare to the year before in both indexes. In India, the share of Java is declined by more than 10%." (Source: http://statisticstimes.com/tech/top-computer-languages.php)

Said that, it is understandable that people would like to know Java and I believe it is one of the most accessible languages to start learning if you don't know where to start.

In this video I will show you the Top 10 Java Books every developer should read if you want to start learning Java right away. These books could definitely help you in your journey of learning Java and will boost your confidence when coding, providing real world examples and problems.

Have you ever been in that position? You want to quit your job and suddenly you receive an unexpected offer that makes you doubt yourself.

In today's video, I have received a question from a reader saying that he wanted to quit his job but his boss just offered to pay for his education. He thinks it would be a good option to stay since it would be a less expensive route for him.

On the other hand, he also feels like this is going to take up a lot of his time since he does not see a future for traditional education and he does not want to go this route.

So, what should he do? Should he stick to his job or quit, even though the offer seems compelling? Watch this video and find out!
