So guys, let me tell you a story about my first backend web development experience. So it can give you guys context, especially early on as you are junior developers, you're beginners, you're trying to determine how to become a back end developer. I want to give you guys some context because I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I want to give you some back story. So guys, when my first experience being a back end developer, a true back end developer is actually when I started C Sharp. I did a ton of work with PHP in the past, but until you start to get to those enterprise level software programming languages, you really don't know what you're getting yourself into until you start doing that. That being said guys, C Sharp was that language that the company I was working for at the time chose for their software stack. And you know, Microsoft, all of the robust tools they had and Visual Studio and all that. So I was really motivated to learn a lot of this stuff and get things going. Well, we had a couple of projects that come down the pipe and I think it was one of the first web projects that I have that's going to be leveraging the VMV. I said the MVC model where you start to get into the models, the views and the controllers and I was like, I'm going to learn everything. I want to be the expert. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to go learn any and everything, get every book, be the expert at that and be the guy who knows that, which in theory over time. Great, you want to be that. But at the beginning of your journey with being a beginner, not a good solution. Long story short guys quickly got overwhelmed, dropped the ball, didn't complete any projects at the beginning and just really couldn't get that concept. And the problem was guys, I took on too much at one time. And this is why a lot of you guys get burnt out. This is why you lose confidence. This is why a lot of people quit programming because they take on too much stuff guys when they're trying to become a back end developer. You guys don't want to do that. You want to come up with a strategy that's going to allow you to first of all learn and have impact as quick as possible. Get that minimum viable product and then get that confidence level so that you can work on bigger and bigger project from a back end perspective. And I want to give you guys three things here. I got three strategies that I feel like it's the best way to become a back end developer as fast as possible because a lot of you guys feel like, hey, I got to go this super technical route, which guys, if you're a rockstar developer, you're getting it, you use other methods in the past, then continue to do what you do. This is for the struggling people who want to become back end developer, who are not confident in their code, their ability to solve problems and trying to come up with a way that you can provide value and still learn. First of all, get the job as fast as possible, but still learn and not necessarily be an expert up front. This is going to be the right video for you guys. So that being said, guys, I got some points here. I'm going to be covering. Number one, guys, learn a high level programming language first. I couldn't imagine coming into C-Shark without knowing PHP or any other higher level programming language because I was able to get the fundamentals early without necessarily having to learn all the enterprise level controllers, functionality. It's a lot of overhead when you're dealing with those enterprise level programming languages, just like Java, like C-Shark. They got a lot of other things going on. It takes more lines of code to write. And there's a lot more intimidating guys, to be honest. So you have to position yourself so that you have confidence coming into one of these languages. PHP, Python are great ways to get started, not a ton of overhead, not a ton of equipment needed to get started. You just put a few applications on your computer and you're ready to go. And a lot of times you can go online and actually learn how to code without even having software on your computer. This is a way that you can get that confidence level. You can see some of the projects that you'll have to build in C-Shark. Build them in PHP, build them in Python first. This is going to put you in a position so that you can get that confidence level. You can go into that enterprise level project with some kind of working model so that it'll kind of give you perspective on what you need to do next to scale it out. And that's a really good strategy to learn, guys. A lot of people get caught up in this. This is probably the number one reason people quit programming because they just tried to bite off of too much at one time, especially at the beginning, guys. Number two, do never start learning a programming language from scratch. And what I mean learning something from scratch is just taking a blank word, a blank document and start writing code trying to create a program. No, no, no. Trust me, guys, don't reinvent the wheel. There's somebody out there who actually done this project in some form or fashion that you can leverage their code from an open source perspective, from any kind of perspective. Kind of see what's out there, what's been done, what's the scale, what frameworks they use, what programming languages they use. This is stuff that you need to know upfront, guys, because you can spend a ton of time trying to reinvent something that was already done. Don't spend months and months trying to find a solution. Just do quick Google search in multiple ways and do your research. Spend some time to see who had this same problem, how they fixed it, and kind of come up with a way that you can find somebody who probably wrote 80% of the code. You're going to be writing anyway, and then you can use that 20% to customize to that specific business needs. A lot of times that's going to be the case, guys. Google, GitHub, a lot of programming resources. Got this for you, guys. Do not make it harder than it need to be made. You can win fast, guys. You can learn how to code fast. Just imagine coming into a project when you have 80% of it done already. You just need to customize up to 20%. Don't you know how your confidence level is going to go through the roof? How it's going to make you look in front of that customer or that employer to know that, hey, I got this. They feel the confidence that your energy as you're presenting it or as you're into these meetings, guys, this is some good stuff, guys. Kind of talk about this in my seven-step guide, so pick that up so that you guys can know how to come into these meetings with the confidence level, knowing that even though I'd never done this project before, I can get this done. So let's go ahead and do that, guys. It's very important that we do that and we start leveraging other code to be able to get those projects as we discussed earlier, guys. Number three. Number three is, guys, you want to start with the smaller projects first. You want to complete projects. That's how you make money. Completing projects. If you're not completing projects, you're not making any money. I don't care how much you know about programming. If you're not completing projects, you're not making any money. You can be a senior level, from a tutorial perspective, but the minute you have to complete a project, if you don't, you're a beginner. And just point blank. So, guys, let's go ahead and meet those deadlines, complete those projects. Start with the smaller ones first, guys. You're starting to hit a trends in my voice. Start with the smaller one, get you some wins on your belt, and then scale up. Your confidence level gonna go up, your skills gonna go up, your experience gonna go up, and everybody's gonna start giving you more opportunities as they see this, guys. It's just a snowball effect. But you have to start with that one snowflake first, and then you kind of roll that thing up into a big gigantuan ball. So that's one thing you need to do, guys. So, guys, I can really beat on this a lot, because at the end of the day, you wanna become a back end developer. You got those back end development projects, and the best way to do this is to not get overwhelmed, to start to get those wins on your belt. So, what I wanna do, guys, to start going forward with a lot of this is to build a community that engages. I'm working on my infrastructure online as far as just my website, how to communicate with you guys, and a lot of things as far as just the content. But I do want to get some feedback from you guys on what you think the community should be like, because at the end of the day, I wanna help put some money in pocket with programming and help you solve problems, solve business problems with projects. And whatever community I can build to really enforce that and get you to your goals, I'm willing to listen to you guys, get your perspective, so that we can build something that's customized specifically for your needs. So go ahead and give me some feedback about that, guys. And I wanna be able to track your progress, too. Just say year one, you join our community, by year two, you have, or hopefully by six months, you have a job, and then you kind of scale out from that. I wanna be able to have something that communicates that, to showcase that, so that we can all look back on where we were two years ago, or a year ago, or even six months ago, and say, man, I really made some progress, and I want to make sure everybody's aware, it can be done, essentially, be able to showcase that, guys. So at the end of the day, we're here to help you guys out. If you agree with me, comment below. If you disagree with me, comment below. Let's start a conversation below, guys.
