Learning how to code can easily become overwhelming. Here's a video with tips and resources for learning how to code! I've also included some helpful resources down below: TLDW 1. First, figure out what you want to build and why - Have no idea? Start with Python - Python resources: - https://www.learnpython.org/ (go to the Learn the Basics section) - https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-python Want to build a website? - Start with learning HTML, CSS, Javascript - https://www.freecodecamp.org/ (step by step tutorials to build real projects) Want to learn: - Mobile Apps? Swift (iOS), Java (android), React Native / Flutter (cross-platform but learn Javascript first) - Data Science + Machine Learning? Python - Databases? SQL, NoSQL 2. Build on core Computer Science concepts (data structures, algorithms, etc) - Take free online classes like Harvard’s CS50x Introduction to Computer Science - Link to that class here: https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2020/ 3. Watch videos about coding to see how others approach a problem 4. Don’t get caught in a tutorial loop! Build something and apply what you've learned •••••••••••••••••••••••• About me: I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley. I'm about a year and a half out of college where I graduated with a degree in Computer Science. This channel is all about helping people who want to know more about software engineering and/or computer science and for me to be a helping hand in any way I can. •••••••••••••••••••••••• Keep up with my socials!!

TL;DR :) - Started my first software engineering job during the summer of 2018 and saved 20% after maxing out 401k and index fund investing - Made sure my expenses were down to maximize savings - Started doing my research on Reddit and BiggerPockets, I also had a parent who had a little bit of experience and who was a real estate agent for 2-3yrs right before the housing market crash of 2008 - Learned how to calculate cash flow and CoC return by creating my own excel sheets with numbers to analyze each property I was interested in - Reached out to a real estate agent on BiggerPockets - Got pre-approved through multiple lenders - Put in an offer on a home - Flew out to see the home for the first time after closing to do repairs and showings for potential tenants - Placed property management to take care of the house and tenants on a day to day basis Salary breakdown: https://youtu.be/cDeE6MiJ7y8 Enjoy! •••••••••••••••••••••••• About me: I'm a software engineer currently working at a really dope company in Silicon Valley.
