 Welcome back team. It's your biggest fan the real cast of Darrow and I have brought the ship up to transmission depth to broadcast my Private signal out across the internet via YouTube and in this session What I'm giving you is the top YouTube channels for new and aspiring Coders software developers engineers whatever it is if you are out there and you're asking yourself Should I go to a boot camp? Should I go to college? What do I learn? What do I start? I'm going to give you the resources right here right now that will help you learn to code And I'm not talking about any boot camps. I'm not talking about any classes I'm talking about real-world people self-taught who started from the bottom and one day They discovered computers and computer science and code and software and programming and they went out and they started Applying for jobs and they started learning stuff and they just they just kept going non-stop team and then one day they decided hey It's time to cut the cord. It's time to unplug from the matrix It's time to free my mind and they went out and they started their own things Some were working as freelancers. Some have worked as freelancers. We got authors in here. We've got course creators These are the channels that will give you the knowledge you need to help you free your mind and learn to code for fun and profit So let's get into a team now. These are coming at you in no particular order So I don't want you to think that you know one is better than the other They all have something different to offer. They all have a very unique perspective a very unique skill set unique personalities But combined these powers are immense team. So first up we've got traversy media Created by Brad traversy and Brad started putting videos on YouTube a long time ago right now He's at eight hundred and eighty eight thousand subscribers team and he's growing every day and Brad is constantly putting out Fresh content. I personally own a couple of his courses and They are phenomenal es6 is a phenomenal course if you want to learn about JavaScript He has that over on Udemy. He has it on his website as well You can find all of that information over on this channel at traversy media Com and as you can see if you look at his channel. He is just constantly producing Fire content. He's got absolute beginner HTML crash course absolute beginner CSS crash course absolute beginner JavaScript crash course absolute beginner react view angular and it goes on and on and on and then Brad comes on And he tells us his story He talks about when he first got started when he first got into web development Talks about his first job and stuff like that team and I don't know how he has all this stuff organized per se in particular But as you can see he has a lot of stuff And Brad is just he's just the beast at creating and he does as far as I know He does all the stuff himself. He does the cover art He does all the tutorials and everything. He has a video where he goes through his his desk setup He talks about workflow creating new web development projects all that stuff Brad is just delivering an immense value He is the Bob Ross of code. He's just sits down and he's like hey guys today We're gonna build a social media website and we're gonna use you know react Mongoose and And whatever other technology you want to use and then he walks you through it from beginning to end team And if you go through this stuff and you really pay attention and you internalize it and most importantly if you go out and you Build something on your own or even just when you go through his courses the stuff that he's built if you say hey Hey, can I modify this? Can I change the color of this? Can I change the layout of that? Can I do this a little different and you and you try to to to build your own thing and then you're trying to explain to yourself and In like the the super skill is hey, can I go out and explain this to somebody else? That's gonna help you understand even more but Brad has the courses to get you where you want to go team This is this is one of the that one of the greats one of the greats out here in the YouTube Web development community next up we have the real tough candy and she is quirky. She is funny She's got personality, but she is a beast. She's published multiple books. You can find those over on Amazon She's got courses on you Demi. She's got courses on how to how to grow a tiny YouTube channel And she is no joke when when I started out she had You know a third of the subscribers that I have and now she's crushing me She's got twice as many subscribers. I went off down the road. I got the I got the big corporate job I'm making the big corporate money. I'm living the big corporate life and and she was just out there grinding and hustling doing doing Working for different companies doing freelance projects working as a contractor writing books It's all kinds of stuff and she puts a lot of work into her content into her videos And she's very introspective about what it means to be a web developer And and what it's out here what it's like out here when you're trying to when you're trying to come up And she just shares her story in this really super unique way and she puts out some pretty some pretty funny content But at the same time she can be very serious at times, but she's always delivering value And she has a very unique perspective on things and she's just she's just fun to watch and Team the real tough candy. She will she will expand your mind in a different kind of way next up. We have Coding phase by my man Joe Santos Garcia and I've been following I've been following a lot of these guys for a long time when I started following Braddy It's probably like 400,000 subscribers Coding phase was he had twice as many as subscribers as me when I discovered him So he was at like 4,000 and I was at I was at 2,000 but now he's at 47,000 and Joe brings the fire too And Joe's story is unique in the sense That he was working jobs and and at one point he was like, hey man I got to set my goals far beyond this and he was like yo my goal is to get out here to build my own stuff to Build my own niche websites. I'm gonna put together my own course I'm gonna do my own thing and I'm gonna put that out to the world and I'm gonna write my own ticket in this world And that's what Joe's doing right now team. He's out there and he's doing it And he puts up he puts up fire content But then he also does live feeds where you can go on and you can actually ask Joe questions about what it is He's doing how he's doing it. Why he's doing it and Joe's very open man. He'll tell you what's up, right? As far as I know, I mean, there's a there's some things that he may not want to share But from what I've seen right? He's always been very open about what he's doing He just wants to help people reach the next level and he wants to help people free their minds and Help them understand that you don't necessarily need the job But hey man, there's things that we want to do there's places we want to go There's places we want to work and if you set your goals on those things you can get their team And he has a website coding phase calm where you can actually get a membership and you can go in and he Shows you all kinds of stuff man. He teaches you how to use react in In a way like no other man, and he's got people building fresh I mean like super fresh websites inside of inside of coding phase calm and when you come out You got these websites. They look really really good, man And I mean they let they go perfect in a portfolio But what you got to do and Joe will tell you man He's like hey, man, you got to put your own sauce on it You got a you got a sprinkle of dust on it and like Joe talks like that. I'm mimicking Joe right now Gotta so you got to you got to put your own sauce on it. You got to use your swag You got to make it your own And then you go out there and you apply for those jobs team and if you stick around to the end of this video I'm gonna give you some bonus information that's gonna help you boom take off accelerate your growth to the next level But coding phase is a fantastic channel man. He's got a fantastic website I had a membership over at coding phase and I'm gonna get another membership again Just just to see what cool stuff he's got going on in there He's got courses on how to do eat HTML emails. He's got people who've gone through his courses of gone out gotten jobs Right here on this website. I watched this video the other day Somebody who went through his course and they went off and they got a job at Texas Instruments I watched the interview the other day of another guy who had been through coding phase calm and He went out and he got a job and he was like when I got there man I didn't know what was going on like it, you know I had studied all this stuff on how to make these websites and I'm taking PDFs And I'm turning them into HTML webpages and I get there and they're like yo react you have learned react But this guy just just from just from going through coding phases courses, right? He had the knowledge, right? He's like yo, right? I can figure this out, right? He had the confidence. He's like I can go learn this I can go, you know, I can make this a success and this guy a he's going strong man He's in the job. He's doing his thing and he's making good money And he's learning a ton of stuff and and then he's coming out and I can't remember his channel Exactly where I saw him But he's got a YouTube video out there where he's talking about this stuff and he's just he's just keeping it straight up But if you follow Joe over at coding phase long enough, right? You'll come across these names and Joe will introduce you to these people and he'll tell you about their stories man And they're all they're all stories of people who were like I didn't think I can do it But then I did it and Joe will tell you he was one of those people, right? He didn't think he could do it and then he did it right one day. He was like, hey, man This is the this is the life I want to live this is the person I want to be This is what I want to do on them and make my own schedule I don't want to be working for somebody else and I'm a guy here and I'm a get it and that's what he's doing man He's got the course. He's got the knit sights and he gives you a real education on how to take these skills That is web development software development software engineering and and being able to apply them in the real world And being able to turn them into into income and grow them to an income that surpasses your job We're really you can make your own you you can you can you can write your own ticket you can do Whatever it is you want to do next up team We got Joshua fluke over at grind real and Joshua his story is unique too, right? He was working on he went to school got a degree in engineering He's working at this engineering job and some stuff went down I don't remember the exact story, but Joshua was like hey, man I got to do something else so he enrolled in a coding boot camp and he straight up about it man He's like hey, you know I rolled in this coding boot camp and I didn't even study before I went to the boot camp I got into the boot camp and then I was procrastinating on all kinds of stuff and he's like, you know one day I realized like man. I can I can write my own ticket I just got a I just got to have a plan and I got to have a determination And I got I got to be willing to grind and he started grinding and now he's got the grind real team And he comes and he keeps it real and he tells you what it's what's up. He's going out there, right? He's going through the boot camp. He got the job I think he was teaching at the boot camp for a while. He's done some he's done some freelance work some contract work And I think he's had like another um, like like some other corporate jobs that he's worked to as well But again, I'm not here to tell that story. I'm just the messenger. I'm here to I'm here to show you The people that are out here that are gonna give it to you team And you may have come across some of these channels already and if you haven't right I'm here to shine some light on them for you team. So Joshua he He's very he's very harsh on the the corporate community because Because they lie to you, right? And I mean, you know, it is what it is, right? Maybe they're lying on purpose Maybe they're not I don't know. I don't know the agenda It doesn't really matter because at the end of the day a business is a business and a business hires people to help them grow as a business and The business has to make money it has to make money in order to pay the people that are working there and you know sometimes right business Got to let you go and no matter how much a part of the family You think you are if you aren't contributing to that bottom line team you gots to go Right if you if you if you become sort of some sort of detriment or hindrance to what it is They're trying to accomplish you gots to go and and you know, some people they're sad about it when they got to go They're like, hey man, you know and they get down on themselves And they feel like imposters and they feel like they can't do it They feel like they can't get it But a lot of the times it's probably not a strike against you as a person is just the way it is team It's just the way the business works. He talks about going out and finding jobs You're looking at these different job sites and they're talking about hey, man You need five years of experience for for in some sort of technology that's only existed for two years You know just crazy stuff like that and Josh is like hey man apply for them jobs. Just apply for him And then on this channel, he gives you some hacks too, right? He tells you like hey, this is how you this is how you get around those job sites So you can get your resume right to the inbox of the person you need to contact in order to get an interview He talks about uh, he has this series called corporate cringe where he's talking about different corporations and the different things they do when it comes to hiring Software developers coders engineers and all that stuff and then how they treat them things like that man So he's very critical, but he keeps it real man. He's a very honest guy. He seems to be very transparent again I don't know. I don't know him personally. We're not we're not, you know friends or anything But I feel I mean I just I get this feeling from this energy that that that hey, man Like he's just being real and he's telling telling you what it's about And Josh another developer who's gone out and now he's doing his own thing team. He's got his YouTube channel He's got his niche sites. He's got a membership site and he's out there doing all this stuff You can find all of that stuff over at his channel right now Josh fluke is over as that a hundred and sixty four thousand subscribers team and he just keeps it real he just put he just puts out he just puts out the content and He's just a fire just a just a fire dude Just a just a good guy who's out here trying to help other people who are in in the situation He's in where he's like I mean and you got to check out Josh. She'll tell you the story, right? He's talking about family issues and things that he was going through and You can really see how he developed that mindset team and like I said, like he'll tell you It's no easy. It's no easy walk and they'll all tell you, you know Josh Joe Brad Real tough candy, they'll all tell you it's not an easy journey team But when you're on that journey for you it makes it better Because when you wake up in the morning, you're not just doing it for some company somewhere You're doing it for yourself. It's like hey, I'm a going here. I'm a grind it out. I'm a focus on my work I'm not here to socialize. I'm not here to make friends I'm here to provide the best possible service and most importantly I'm here to learn as much as I possibly can so I can apply this to my life and I can create the life I want to live so I can do the things I want to do and I can be the person that I want to be and that's Josh's Whole message next up we have Coding tech and what coding tech is gonna do is They just consolidate these talks from all these different conferences that go on all around the world And it's it's this is the power of the internet team This is why I come up to transmission depth and I broadcast my private signal to the world via YouTube team Is because you can you one day you can be in Norway learning about learning about quantum computing in the next day You can be in Arizona learning about tips for clean code and those aren't really the places but I mean these conferences are from all over the world team and People are paying money hundreds of dollars to fly all over the place to go to these things and to sit and listen to these people talk about their philosophy on code and software development and I think maybe maybe ever so often you run across somebody who's talking about their story Hey, man, like look I was I was I Was working this job. I didn't like and then I went and did this other thing and this other thing And now here I am on stage talking to you about this particular technology and these videos are just fire And we're not going here to watch these to learn anything to Master some sort of some sort of programming language or concept We're there for the ideas for the knowledge that's gonna be conveyed to us and to immerse ourselves in an environment where we're we're we're we're hearing we're hearing different terms used in different sort of context and And it helps us expand our understanding of what this thing is that software development web development Computing all this stuff because this stuff is brand new team. This is brand new stuff, right? It's only been 30 years and we got a whole long way to go team and so this is a great way to immerse yourself in that knowledge base in the experience of You know hundreds of different people with diverse backgrounds and diverse You know diverse thinking and ideas around what it means to develop software and to Essentially be building the future the world that we're gonna live in and the things we're gonna do and I just talks in here on on AI and all kinds of stuff team So it's a fantastic channel next up we have Crash course and there's a bunch of stuff here in crash course. They talk about there's there's AI and history all kinds of things but What I'm focused on is the computer science side of it crash course has this this series called crash course computer science Let's see if I can find it in here and if we just go out to YouTube into a straight up search for crash course computer science You'll get this playlist right at the top. We'll click on that crash course computer science And this will take you right into the I think I hit play off. So let's go back So you head right over into that playlist and this is gonna if you do it the way I did it's gonna start playing automatically But here they got a humongous playlist is like 41 videos that walk you through Computer science from the very beginning all the way up into the current age where we are right now team and this will give you a foundational understanding of computer science and computers and And help you to understand how all of this stuff works and goes together. They talk about Operating systems and memory and how processors work how hard drives work everything you want to know about computers They talk about it in here now This isn't of course is gonna make you a computer science expert or anything, but it will give you the knowledge To be able to go out and and piece together things in order to build your own stuff team So this in conjunction with everything else is a very real rounded education in in software development for the self-taught person and When you're starting out right and I mean we can all start from different places But right if you want to be able to build stuff right away and see how it works, right? You start with HTML then you move into CSS and then you go in a JavaScript and you go off into other stuff like PHP Maybe even some nodes stuff like that team but the start the start is HTML and And then CSS and I might as well just say HTML 5 HTML 5 is just HTML CSS and JavaScript three different languages that come together to make it possible for us to produce stuff that We can put on the internet and other people can use and interact with and computer crash course computer science is an Excellent way to get an understanding of computers if you if you don't know or or you feel like maybe There's some some missing knowledge that you don't understand crash course computer science will take you there And they even get into the basics core fundamentals of programming and this is super cool Because the things that they talk about in here like programming languages statements and functions algorithms stuff like that These are things that can be applied with any programming language one thing I see as new developers coming out here and they're like, yo, man What's the best language to learn? What's what language that I learned in 2019 and there is no best language to learn It's just computer languages are just tools to do things you want to do if you want to build stuff for the web You need some HTML. You need some CSS. You need some JavaScript. That's just the way it goes That's your front end if you want to build stuff on a server then hey, you can use anything you want You can use PHP. You can use C sharp. You can use Python You can use whatever but at some point if you want to show this stuff to somebody You're gonna have to produce some HTML and maybe you use Python on the server to generate some HTML pages It's served back to people so they can see it But all this stuff that I've shown you up into this point that that stuff when all put together Hey, the courses and the methodologies and ideas and the thought processes These are the this is this is what all everybody had to go through all of us out here We had to go through this through this process of awakening and learning and wrapping our head around this stuff team So that is a crash ghost computer science is a fantastic resource next up We have so Crattica and so Crattica's got a bunch of they they got a bunch of different stuff in here Speed reading and then I think there's some algebra. There may be some stuff in here about history all kinds of stuff But we're here. We're talking we're focused on the the Python course. It's a fantastic course And I think it's Olga. I'm not positive. I think her name is Olga But her Python course is fire team. It is it is produced like no other course I've ever seen they've got animations and she's she's got clothes that match Which he's talking about is just it's wild team and she walks you Completely through Python and what's so cool about this is because the stuff that she's talking about in Python If you can internalize it and really understand it again It's stuff that's used in every programming language and I didn't understand this until later on right? I was out here trying to learn Ruby in JavaScript and you know C sharp and like all these different things and one day I woke up and I realized like hey, man, it's the same stuff in every language. We're talking about types We're talking about variables. We're talking about integers and booleans and floats in every language all the same stuff Now each language has different functions. They have different syntax How we write things and stuff like that But the concepts are all the same and when you understand the concepts That makes it possible for you to go out and build anything you want and it gives you the confidence to know Hey, I can go learn this language. You may take me a day. You may take me to if you're slow like me It may take a week may take a month, but you know, you can learn it. You know, you can do a team in this Crack I mean not crash course, but this Over at Socratic a the learn Python is fantastic and right now they are working on putting together a new course advanced Python I don't know if it's done yet. This video came out six days ago I haven't you know, I don't know exactly what's going on, but they're running a Kickstarter right now And hey when that course comes out. I'm in it. I'm getting it Because it's just entertaining man. It's just as good as watching something on Netflix. That's how that's how dope Socratica does everything team is just these these these I mean, I can't I can't speak highly enough of them They're just putting out just fantastic stuff team next up We have me and that is it team I'm not gonna tell you about my channel and I just about tell you about nothing team But if you if this brought you value and you want more content like this then hey, you want to subscribe You want to click that you want to click the subscribe button you want to set your notification bell? So you get alerts whenever I produce new content in our release new videos team And if you want to support the channel you can check out the code 365 startup lab links in the description below You can also buy your merch you can get some hats you get some shirts you get some stickers You can get those all over at right code drink coffee dot com again links in the description below Also information about this rig that I got going on here if you want to go out and you know Learn about the kind of computer setup that you see here in the background with all these RGB lights and stuff team But here I'm gonna give you some bonus information and in this information It's helped me and I believe it's helped a lot of these other Channels out here or the the youtubers that I talked about in the beginning not necessarily, you know crash course or Socratica or coding tech, but hey team right start applying for jobs right now before you know anything If you don't know nothing right just go out to whatever job site indeed monster I don't even know them all right you just google job sites Just go out fill out your information and just go through them and on in I think it's I think it's indeed I might be wrong But one of these sites they have like this sort of this this deal where they ask you a bunch of questions And you end up with a resume so you got like this resume template team But um, but yeah those like just apply Apply to all the jobs right say hey go on do a search html and hey apply to all the jobs and just set a number And just apply every day and eventually you'll get phone calls and people there'll be it'll it'll mostly be from recruiters Who are recruiting for other tech companies? They're gonna ask you about your skill set and all this stuff team But just remember this right no matter what your resume looks like right now and I mean you got to make it look good I'm not here to tell you you know how to do you how to do your resume per se Plenty of videos out there on that maybe I'll have one in the future or something So you got to subscribe to the channel if you want to get that But you put your resume out there and when someone calls you on your resume Just remember they called you they read your resume and there's something on there that says hey this person may be a fit So hey Right pick up the phone answer the questions that they have and eventually you'll you'll land an interview I don't know when it may take three days. It may take three months. I don't know Right it's all different. It depends on how many jobs you apply to it depends on how you talk on the phone It depends on all these different things team But the only way to get out there is to just get out there team Just get out there and then right so you've got you make yourself a schedule You say hey every day i'm gonna apply to 10 jobs you go out you apply to your 10 jobs And maybe you're working a day job. Maybe you got a family. Maybe you got other stuff going on You go you handle that stuff you do your thing and then at night or whenever you have time You sit out and you say hey today I'm gonna I'm gonna do this right and maybe you've got a book or maybe you've got a course Or maybe you've got whatever and there's links in the description below for for recommended books If you if you're a book person and I gave you a bunch of channels and resources If you are a video person and you like to go through tutorials, you can check out the code 365 startup lab team Link in the description below. You can check out coding phase You can go over to Udemy. There's all different kinds of things you can do team But you just got to start and when you start when you're taking the tutorials This is bonus information when you're taking these tutorials be thinking about how can I use this? How can I build this? What can I do with this stuff? Why am I learning this? Why am I learning this particular thing? What am I going to do? And how is how is this going to help me become the person I want to become so I can live the life I want to live and do the things I want to do another bonus tip team Is to have yourself a notebook or a piece of software or something that you can use to to take down your ideas I have um, I have a couple pieces of software that I use A simple note and there's another one called called notion and I may forget But I'll try to put the the those links to those in the in the notes below as well team And what I do is I in one of these applications I have what's called a spark file and it's just ideas ideas for for different businesses different applications different websites different niche websites And I just put them all in there So I know they're there and I have a place where I can go back when I need inspiration Or I need ideas or maybe there's a project I want to work on or something team And I'll just go and I'll just look at that list and I'm like, okay This is cool. Maybe I'll build that thing and what's amazing team is I've been writing this stuff forever And a lot of this stuff has come to pass without me even going back to look at that list like this youtube channel For instance was on that list in 2012 and I didn't start the channel into 2014 and I didn't start the channel And it's like two years after I bought this microphone that I'm talking on now And then it took me another two years to get to four thousand subscribers And then I really came back and I started hitting it hard and now I'm now I'm closing in on six fairly quickly team But that's that's how it goes team. You got to have a schedule. You got to have a plan You got to set your goals beyond Where it is you think you can be not too high because then your subconscious mind is going to be like Oh, no, right? You're going to start to do things to hinder your progress But if you set your goals, they're just like, hey, I want to get a job, right? You'll get the job I guarantee it, right? If you if you set that goal and you work at it and you're doing what I'm saying You're working every day and you're working in earnest and and you're focused You're going to get to that job team. But Right, it's going to be hard to to to read to recalibrate yourself once you're there Unless you unless you're really thinking about it like hey, right my goal right now get to this job You get to that job and then once you get to you're like, hey, right? This is what I'm going to do with this job This is what I'm going to do with the knowledge that I learned from this thing I'm going to take this to the next level my ultimate goal is to is to work for myself and build my own thing Maybe grow a community grow a following whatever it is team But that's what you got to do team and another thing you got to do is that when you're going through these books You're going through these courses. You're going through these projects. You're learning new stuff You got to build stuff You got to build the stuff that they talk about in the book. You got to write the code You got to study the code. You got to understand the code. That's the number one understand what's going on Understand the architecture understand how it's put together That's the goal because if you can understand that you can go out and you can build anything And if you're writing and you're keeping notes on a regular basis You're using your imagination And when imagination is a is a precursor to to life's coming attractions team, right? That you're it's like it's like creating it's like creating a movie trailer for the actual movie And in you you are the star you're the director you're the performer You're the protagonist. You're the supporting character. You're all that stuff team And and that's how you do it team, right? You got this vision in your head. That's your goal, right? And that is just that is just uh, uh, uh A commercial advertisement for what is possible and then you go out and you work every day You do a little bit a little bit a little bit a little bit and before you know it man You're making these you're making these steps and leaps and bounds And you're moving up the ladder and before you know it you where you want to be team But you got to set those goals. You got to go out there. You got to work You got to grind you got to build a project team. I'm your biggest fan The real castadero team and again if you want to support the channel you can check out the real castadero dot com There's links off to uh, right code drink coffee so you can buy your merch There's links off to uh, the code 365 startup lab In in case you really want to support the channel by buying a membership I've got some courses in there. You can follow how to get clients and then um And then I only focus on the core technologies html css javascript and then we get into some php to show people You know the server side and all that stuff team But again, I'm your biggest fan the real castadero the biggest thing you can do to support this channel is leave a thumbs up And subscribe hit that subscribe button But if you don't want to subscribe this cool just hit the thumbs up and leave a comment below say hey man Thanks.
