Maybe you hate your current job as a salesman, or accountant and want to become a programmer. You want to work for a cool new tech company and get the nice salaries of a programmer.

But... How do you actually find the drive and motivation to change careers and become a programmer? #programming #coding #careerchange

I'm gonna do this by asking you a simple question: WHY? Why do you want to become a programmer?

Just because it looks fun? Chances are you won't make it then. You must absolutely have a real deep reason why you are doing this.

In today's video we are going to discuss how you can shift the sails of your career and become the programmer you've always wanted to be.

Agile methodology is the most sought after software development model today. It promotes continuous iterations in development and testing.

Agile is about going fast, releasing often, and working toward the real needs of the users. When it comes to businesses where the requirements are unpredictable, agile should be the go-to methodology.

The core values of agile development are:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Working software over comprehensive documentation Customer collaboration over contract negotiation Responding to change over following a plan

The key to the agile plan is that it offers flexibility for changes to the product as it continues to develop.

However, the most important thing is understanding that agile is an IDEA. And that is what most software companies and teams get wrong.

In today's video we are going to talk about agile methodologies and how it relates to software development.

I was a kid there was nothing more exciting to me than playing around with the old broken computers and dreaming about building my own computer game. However, things have changed and I quit programming. One of the reasons why I decided to quit programming is the reason why I'll tell you in this video. Software development is definitely a LUCRATIVE field. A lot. And it can really make you lazy and lose ambition in life. There is nothing wrong with taking this path in life, but it's like not waking up from The Matrix. In today's video, I'm going to share why you SHOULDN'T become a software engineer.

Time and time again, I run into the same mistakes that many programmers make over and over, and they aren't even aware of them.

However, there are 3 MISTAKES I consider to be one of the biggest ones developers make in terms of their career, and it might be costing them a solid and strong career.

These mistakes are all about career, learning and self-improvement.

Let me be clear here: most developers don't know a s**t about how to learn programming and improve their careers. This is absolute truth.

And I'm not saying this in a mean way, but as a way to alert most of you about something you've been doing wrong for most of your lives. Learning something new requires some strictly techniques in order to maximize your potentials, or, you'll be swimming in circles and you'll most likely to die in the middle of the sea.

Just take today's case: a guy that has completed a programming course but know nothing about what they've learned. It just feels like he hasn't completed any course at all.

Learning the art of programming can be a bit of a struggle for some. However, knowing some ways for making your learning process faster can be a huge help for you. It can be a manageable task if you follow and implement a few simple steps.

In today's video we are going to discuss why you usually feel lost after completing a programming course and how you can turn it around and start learning programming efficiently.

Artificial Intelligence is definitely the next big thing. However, programmers still find it hard to understand what A.I. really is and how they can use that bring their programming career to the next level.

AI is a broad topic ranging from simple calculators to self-steering technology to something that might radically change the future.

The primary goals of AI include deduction and reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing (NLP), learning, perception, and the ability to manipulate and move objects. Long-term goals of AI research include achieving Creativity, Social Intelligence, and General (human level) Intelligence.

AI has heavily influenced different sectors that we may not recognize. Ray Kurzweil says "Many thousands of AI applications are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of every industry." John McCarthy, one of the founders of AI, once said that "as soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore." (Source: https://www.hackerearth.com/blog/developers/artificial-intelligence-101-how-to-get-started/)

But... Where to start learning A.I.? How you, as a programmer, can incorporate A.I. opportunities in your career?

Is there a better programming language to learn artificial intelligence? Is there a specific technology you should learn?

Being humans (unlike the robots some people think we are), programmers are emotional creatures too. Today I would like to discuss with you why you should learn how to control your emotions as a programmer, and some skills you must develop to improve this master skill. First, jobs and tasks that are given to us as programmers (or ones we assign ourselves) often involve high levels of logical thinking and reasoning. Most programming is a purely logical task. We do not want emotions to come and take us off the logical path. When emotions come into play, it can take a decision that should be 100 percent logical and make it part emotional and part logical. In some cases it can be even worse: it can take a fully logical decision and make it fully emotional. Take a look at this example: Bob, the senior engineer, is in charge of building out the payment system for Antonio Inc.'s backend. His part of the application is due at the end of the week, but he just heard that his girlfriend of three years cheated on him. This sends him into an emotional downward spiral. This causes him to lose focus at work, make poor engineering decisions (like not making a fully secure payment system), and makes him procrastinate, finishing his piece of the backend. If he were purely logical in his decision-making, he would have been able to focus with no problem, and Bob would be able to make the proper sustainable engineering decisions necessary to support the application over the long term. However, if he kept making poor decisions, this could potentially affect his future at the company. This is a situation in which emotional control is crucial for success in your career as a programmer. #softskills #developer #programming If you can learn to take control of your emotions and not let your emotions control you, then you can spend way more time producing and being a happier programmer and person overall.
