1 00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:09,450 -: Hi guys, this is Angela from the App Brewery, 2 00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:12,630 and I'm so excited to be doing 3 00:00:12,630 --> 00:00:17,630 this first ever live AMA. 4 00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:19,350 So for those of you guys 5 00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:21,540 who have been with me for the longest, 6 00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:23,850 you know that back in the days, in the courses, 7 00:00:23,850 --> 00:00:27,180 we used to do these live, "Ask Angela Anythings." 8 00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:30,900 And this is trying to bring it back 9 00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,870 and see how you guys are all doing, 10 00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:36,960 while you're safely at home. 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,350 And yeah, so I've never really done anything like this, 12 00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:43,230 so I'm a little bit nervous, 13 00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:46,650 but hopefully, it's gonna go great, 14 00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:51,150 and I'm gonna get to know some more of you guys. 15 00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:54,360 Alright, so the plan is, 16 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,400 we're going to take a look 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,690 at some of the questions 18 00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:59,910 that were asked ahead of time. 19 00:00:59,910 --> 00:01:01,740 So over the last week, 20 00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:04,349 you guys have been posting your questions 21 00:01:04,349 --> 00:01:07,080 on the Ask page, 22 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,080 and our team has compiled a bunch 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,220 of the most upvoted questions. 24 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:16,230 So we're gonna tackle some of those, 25 00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:17,790 and then we're going to tackle 26 00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:21,510 some of these YouTube questions live. 27 00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:25,110 And I don't see too much of a delay in the chat, 28 00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:27,900 so hopefully, I'll be able to get to you, 29 00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:31,140 and we can do a little bit of back and forth. 30 00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:32,670 So, alright, 31 00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:36,870 so here we've got the question from Melissa Santos. 32 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:38,670 So I'm just gonna answer it all over again 33 00:01:38,670 --> 00:01:40,860 'cause it seemed like when I went to the slides, 34 00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:42,480 you couldn't hear me anymore. 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,220 So let's try this again. 36 00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:46,027 So her question is, 37 00:01:46,027 --> 00:01:48,090 "How do you manage to use different languages 38 00:01:48,090 --> 00:01:52,320 for different projects without mixing up the syntax?" 39 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,740 Alright, so the first thing I wanna say is that, 40 00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:59,100 I mix up the syntax all the time, 41 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:00,900 especially when I'm working on, 42 00:02:00,900 --> 00:02:03,150 like a Swift project for a long time, 43 00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:05,550 and then I switch to maybe doing 44 00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:09,690 a web development project with JavaScript, 45 00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:10,523 then you know, 46 00:02:10,523 --> 00:02:12,300 I'm gonna be missing semicolons, 47 00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:16,350 I'm gonna be just not writing JavaScript code. 48 00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:19,830 But the great thing is that there's good linters, 49 00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:22,590 and if you use a good code editor 50 00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:25,650 like Atom or Yes-code or Sublime, 51 00:02:25,650 --> 00:02:28,260 then they should be able to pick up these things for you. 52 00:02:28,260 --> 00:02:33,120 So I kind of let the machine do the machine part, 53 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,010 and then I do the brain part, 54 00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:38,760 which is the logic, that's the hardest part. 55 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,890 And the first part of her question, 56 00:02:40,890 --> 00:02:43,863 she actually asked, so, 57 00:02:46,184 --> 00:02:47,490 is it a good idea 58 00:02:47,490 --> 00:02:50,250 to become fluent in one language 59 00:02:50,250 --> 00:02:53,100 before moving on to other languages? 60 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,800 Now, I think this really depends 61 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,080 on what you're trying to do, right? 62 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,600 If you are trying to build, 63 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,050 if your end project is an iOS app, 64 00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,820 then yeah, you definitely, 65 00:03:05,820 --> 00:03:10,260 definitely need to get really good 66 00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:13,050 at probably Swift first. 67 00:03:13,050 --> 00:03:15,420 But you know, if you are trying to do something 68 00:03:15,420 --> 00:03:18,000 that occasionally requires just a little bit 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,200 of web development skills 70 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,290 or just a little bit of maybe like, 71 00:03:22,290 --> 00:03:26,373 a Flutter multi, 72 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,820 iOS and Android app, 73 00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:33,240 then you could just dive into the thing that you need. 74 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,580 The way I always see it is, 75 00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:37,560 you know, these programming languages, 76 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,270 they're not like a subject, 77 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:41,310 they're not like history or geography, 78 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:44,760 they're more like a tool. 79 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,160 Like you are learning how to use the hammer, 80 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,530 or you're learning how to use a saw. 81 00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:52,980 You don't have to get to like 100% of you know, 82 00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:56,850 hammer ability before you can move on to the next tool. 83 00:03:56,850 --> 00:04:00,513 It all depends on what you are trying to build, right? 84 00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:05,673 Alright, so let's move on to the next question. 85 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,510 Alright, so in this question, 86 00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,300 we've got from JPD, 87 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,610 and he's asking, 88 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:19,019 given that Coronavirus has affected so many people 89 00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:22,350 and a lot of people are looking for ways 90 00:04:22,350 --> 00:04:26,820 of working from home, 91 00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:29,340 working remotely online, 92 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:31,860 does that mean that all the jobs 93 00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:35,010 are gonna be filled up pretty quickly, 94 00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:39,003 and you know, it'll be far more competitive? 95 00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:42,572 And I think I would say that, 96 00:04:42,572 --> 00:04:44,100 you know, you have to remember that 97 00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:46,650 when anything is desirable, 98 00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:48,630 it is gonna be competitive. 99 00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:52,500 So if you think it's a great idea 100 00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,600 to work from home, 101 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,600 and you know, have the flexibility of where you live, 102 00:04:59,940 --> 00:05:01,140 be able to work remotely, 103 00:05:01,140 --> 00:05:04,620 then somebody else is gonna have that idea as well. 104 00:05:04,620 --> 00:05:06,360 But then again, you know, 105 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,670 things that are worth doing 106 00:05:08,670 --> 00:05:13,320 are probably worth competing for. 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,590 It all depends on what is your ultimate goal. 108 00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:21,450 And if your goal is to get a job as a web developer 109 00:05:21,450 --> 00:05:23,160 or as an app developer, 110 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,350 then you just gotta focus on that goal. 111 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:27,810 And don't worry so much about what, 112 00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:29,490 how much competition there is, 113 00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:31,740 or how many other people 114 00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:33,990 are applying to the same thing. 115 00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:37,410 I mean, I remember back in the days when, 116 00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:39,330 so I don't know if you guys know this, 117 00:05:39,330 --> 00:05:41,850 but I trained as a medical doctor, 118 00:05:41,850 --> 00:05:44,790 and I worked as a doctor, 119 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:48,600 training in orthopedic surgery for a number of years. 120 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,230 And when I was in medical school, 121 00:05:52,230 --> 00:05:54,543 even from like day one, 122 00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,390 people were telling me that, 123 00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:59,910 if you wanna become a surgeon, 124 00:05:59,910 --> 00:06:04,800 like the chances are something like one in like 1000, 125 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,330 it's just so competitive. 126 00:06:06,330 --> 00:06:07,620 And then within surgery, 127 00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:10,140 there's, you know, different competition ratios. 128 00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:11,730 Like if you wanna do brain surgery, 129 00:06:11,730 --> 00:06:13,920 that's like, the most competitive field 130 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,220 'cause there's only so few brain surgeons. 131 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:19,380 But if you wanna do, I don't know, 132 00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:20,610 maybe another type of surgery, 133 00:06:20,610 --> 00:06:22,860 maybe it's less competitive. 134 00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:25,560 So I think even from that point, 135 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,210 I was trained upon this idea 136 00:06:27,210 --> 00:06:31,980 that competition is just a way of life, you know? 137 00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:34,170 You want something, other people want something, 138 00:06:34,170 --> 00:06:37,620 and then you just gotta focus on yourself. 139 00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:42,390 There's a really great book by Carl Newport, 140 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:43,470 which I really like 141 00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,590 called, "So Good They Can't Ignore You." 142 00:06:46,590 --> 00:06:48,510 I think that's the title anyways. 143 00:06:48,510 --> 00:06:50,790 And I mean, the thing is 144 00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:52,110 you don't really have to read the book. 145 00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:53,430 I mean it is a good book, 146 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:57,690 but basically, most of it is in the title. 147 00:06:57,690 --> 00:07:02,040 Like become so good at whatever it is you do 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,050 that they can't ignore you, 149 00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:06,570 and they could be your boss, 150 00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:09,000 they could be a recruiter, 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,140 they could be, 152 00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:11,940 you know, anybody, really. 153 00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:13,830 And this is really something 154 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:17,970 that I've always kept in my mind, 155 00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:20,613 like I've just tried to, 156 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,070 focus on doing the best job I can, 157 00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:30,420 and that means focusing on the student experience. 158 00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:32,310 Like, how can I make a course 159 00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:36,780 that is going to be the most helpful, 160 00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:41,780 the most enjoyable, and the most completed, right? 161 00:07:42,510 --> 00:07:45,150 So I focus on these things. 162 00:07:45,150 --> 00:07:46,260 and I don't really think about 163 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:48,393 what other people are doing. 164 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:54,000 and that means that I have a product that I created, 165 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,110 and it's just much easier for me to think this way. 166 00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,857 If I spent all my time thinking about, 167 00:07:59,857 --> 00:08:02,430 "Well, you know, so and so is doing this, 168 00:08:02,430 --> 00:08:04,290 or that person is doing that," 169 00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:08,280 then I'm just gonna be copying everybody all the time. 170 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,290 And if you guys have taken my courses, 171 00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:13,847 you know, that's usually not the way to go. 172 00:08:13,847 --> 00:08:15,810 I mean that also means that, 173 00:08:15,810 --> 00:08:17,550 there's a lot of bad jokes in there 174 00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:20,850 that are untested and nobody sanctioned, 175 00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,310 and it's probably not a good idea, 176 00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:27,840 but you know, hey, we gotta try things, right? 177 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,873 Alright, let's move on to the next question. 178 00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:39,590 Alright, so this question is from Mayank Saini. 179 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,620 I hope I pronounce that okay. 180 00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:47,100 I think I'm just gonna be murdering people's names 181 00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,150 'cause I'm gonna be bad at pronunciation. 182 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,227 Okay, so Mayank says a number of things. 183 00:08:53,227 --> 00:08:54,960 "My question is, how can I get a job 184 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960 as a full stack web developer to my dream company? 185 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,327 What do I have to master to do so?" 186 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,550 Okay, so your goal is to get a job 187 00:09:05,550 --> 00:09:07,050 as a full stack web developer. 188 00:09:07,050 --> 00:09:08,610 Now, some of you guys watching, 189 00:09:08,610 --> 00:09:12,060 maybe your goal is to get a job as an iOS developer. 190 00:09:12,060 --> 00:09:14,520 Maybe you wanna work as a data scientist, 191 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,940 maybe you wanna work at Facebook, Apple, Google, 192 00:09:17,940 --> 00:09:19,050 whatever it may be. 193 00:09:19,050 --> 00:09:21,810 But the great thing is you already got your goal. 194 00:09:21,810 --> 00:09:24,570 Like, this is the first step, 195 00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:26,460 because there are so many people I talk to 196 00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:28,140 who don't even know what they want. 197 00:09:28,140 --> 00:09:32,070 So you already one step ahead of other people. 198 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:35,430 So now that you know what you wanna get, 199 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:36,930 how do you get there? 200 00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:41,313 Well, let's think about it from the other point of view. 201 00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:44,730 Let's say that you are a company. 202 00:09:44,730 --> 00:09:47,670 Let's say you're a manager at Google, 203 00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:50,040 and you wanna hire a web developer. 204 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,710 Well, if you were the one who was doing the interview, 205 00:09:52,710 --> 00:09:55,530 who was sifting through all of the applications, 206 00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:57,030 what would you think about? 207 00:09:57,030 --> 00:09:59,700 This is a really, really useful exercise, 208 00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:01,500 and this is something that I really, 209 00:10:02,951 --> 00:10:04,560 it took some, you know, growing up 210 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,093 to actually understand this. 211 00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:08,100 Because when you think about it 212 00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,260 from the other person's perspective, 213 00:10:10,260 --> 00:10:12,180 you know, they're not trying to make it hard for you. 214 00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:14,280 They're not trying to make you jump through hoops 215 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,290 for the sake of jumping through hoops. 216 00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:18,780 But let's say that you get, 217 00:10:18,780 --> 00:10:20,760 you know, like 20,000 applications. 218 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,870 So recently we were looking for a summer intern 219 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:27,270 and there's just loads, 220 00:10:27,270 --> 00:10:29,583 loads of applications that come in, 221 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,230 and you know, as much as you really want 222 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:39,120 to give each application all of your attention 223 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:44,100 and just, you know, really understand each person, 224 00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:45,390 you don't really have the time. 225 00:10:45,390 --> 00:10:47,340 So you're gonna have to think about 226 00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:52,340 ways of making it a bit easier on yourself, right? 227 00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:55,470 So one of those ways 228 00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:58,740 is by looking at somebody's qualification. 229 00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:00,180 But another way, 230 00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:03,240 and probably something that I'm more fond of, 231 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,680 is actually just looking at 232 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,323 what are they capable of doing? 233 00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,350 And this really is a key. 234 00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:14,130 So you need to build a portfolio, 235 00:11:14,130 --> 00:11:16,290 you need to show the world, 236 00:11:16,290 --> 00:11:19,650 not tell the world what you can do. 237 00:11:19,650 --> 00:11:23,580 So create some web apps 238 00:11:23,580 --> 00:11:25,230 if you wanna become a web developer, 239 00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:26,610 create some iOS apps 240 00:11:26,610 --> 00:11:28,650 if you wanna become an iOS developer. 241 00:11:28,650 --> 00:11:33,650 And don't just stick to, you know, 242 00:11:34,209 --> 00:11:36,510 the stuff that you see in tutorials. 243 00:11:36,510 --> 00:11:39,180 You have to somehow stand out. 244 00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:42,390 And one of the best tips I can give you, 245 00:11:42,390 --> 00:11:46,830 is again, think from the recruiter's point of view. 246 00:11:46,830 --> 00:11:48,930 They wanna hire a web developer, 247 00:11:48,930 --> 00:11:52,080 they are probably a manager, right? 248 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:52,953 Of some sort. 249 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:57,873 What are the kind of tools that they use every day? 250 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,020 So if you're a manager, 251 00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:02,520 especially if you're a product manager 252 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,020 or a software lead, 253 00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:05,790 you're probably gonna use some form 254 00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:09,840 of a task management like Trello or Asana. 255 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,570 You're probably gonna use GitHub, 256 00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:15,303 or something like GitHub, like Bitbucket. 257 00:12:16,290 --> 00:12:19,230 Think about the tools they use, 258 00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:23,520 and build a tool that they can understand. 259 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,430 So if they use Trello or Asana, 260 00:12:26,430 --> 00:12:28,320 I'm sure there's pain points, 261 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,630 I'm sure there are certain features 262 00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:33,060 that would be really cool. 263 00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:37,830 So if you build a Trello clone, 264 00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:40,503 but you add in some features of your own, 265 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:42,840 something that you think of 266 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,030 that you think would be really useful, 267 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:46,920 and then you show that manager 268 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,150 what you've built, 269 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:51,750 they will instantly understand what you've built, 270 00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:54,900 they will see the advantages of your product, 271 00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:58,200 and they will be able to attest to your skill, 272 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,283 which is what is so, so important. 273 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,060 So my advice, 274 00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:08,400 whenever you wanna achieve any sort of goal 275 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,930 that involves other people, 276 00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:13,563 is to think from the other person's point of view. 277 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,120 Alright, so we've done a couple of questions 278 00:13:20,130 --> 00:13:24,870 from the Ask page now, 279 00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:27,600 and I'm seeing so much chat activity, 280 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,630 I really want to get to know you guys 281 00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:32,160 a little bit better. 282 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,860 So I wanna do a poll. 283 00:13:34,860 --> 00:13:38,493 So it's going to be poll time. 284 00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:47,250 Alright, so if you go ahead 285 00:13:47,250 --> 00:13:51,003 and take a look at my slide, 286 00:13:52,050 --> 00:13:53,490 I wanna know where you are. 287 00:13:53,490 --> 00:13:56,520 So where are you streaming from? 288 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,810 Now what you need to do, 289 00:13:57,810 --> 00:14:00,570 is to head over to this link. 290 00:14:00,570 --> 00:14:01,470 So wait a minute, 291 00:14:01,470 --> 00:14:04,680 I'm gonna remove this banner, 292 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:05,513 and you can see, 293 00:14:05,513 --> 00:14:08,850 if you go to londonappbrewery.com/where, 294 00:14:08,850 --> 00:14:13,850 it will redirect you to this horribly long URL 295 00:14:14,130 --> 00:14:16,650 that's underneath, which is a poll. 296 00:14:16,650 --> 00:14:18,840 So choose an answer, 297 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,240 and I wanna know 298 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,143 what your location is. 299 00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:30,153 Alright, so I think some of you guys have voted, 300 00:14:31,590 --> 00:14:34,983 let's see the results. 301 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,740 Okay, I think there's like 200 votes now, 302 00:14:37,740 --> 00:14:40,923 I'm gonna take a look at the results. 303 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,370 Alright, so it seems like most people are from Asia, 304 00:14:47,370 --> 00:14:50,643 next is Europe, and next is North America. 305 00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:53,220 I mean, that kind of makes sense to me. 306 00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:55,890 I think it's about evening time in Asia now, 307 00:14:55,890 --> 00:14:59,190 and then in Europe, where I'm at, in London, 308 00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:00,840 we're kind of during the day 309 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,780 and then North America's just waking up. 310 00:15:03,780 --> 00:15:05,880 So that's pretty cool. 311 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,740 Alright, so let's take some questions 312 00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:12,930 from YouTube. 313 00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:15,390 You guys have been chatting away in there, 314 00:15:15,390 --> 00:15:19,683 and I'm trying to look at it for, 315 00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:23,490 just to see what's actually happening, 316 00:15:23,490 --> 00:15:25,470 if you're getting the audio and everything. 317 00:15:25,470 --> 00:15:30,390 But let's take some questions from YouTube. 318 00:15:30,390 --> 00:15:32,853 So go ahead and ask away. 319 00:15:36,180 --> 00:15:40,350 Alright, so we got one here from Claudia, 320 00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:42,240 and it's gonna cut off 'cause it's quite long, 321 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,807 but I'll read it out to you. 322 00:15:43,807 --> 00:15:45,960 "I wanna ask you about the way you learn 323 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,310 new coding skills. 324 00:15:47,310 --> 00:15:50,070 How do you go about teaching yourself new skills? 325 00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:52,200 What's your learning process?" 326 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,610 Okay, cool. 327 00:15:53,610 --> 00:15:58,000 So I think one of the most useful skills 328 00:15:58,860 --> 00:16:03,243 like, that I've ever picked up, is learning. 329 00:16:04,140 --> 00:16:08,220 I think if you can learn quite quickly, 330 00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:13,220 then it's gonna help you in pretty much all sorts of ways. 331 00:16:15,180 --> 00:16:20,180 So one of the ways that I do, 332 00:16:20,550 --> 00:16:23,070 one of the ways that I sort of conceptualize it, 333 00:16:23,070 --> 00:16:26,310 is I try to take the entire topic 334 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:30,000 and I break it down into, 335 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,060 you know, what are all the parts that I need to learn? 336 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:34,560 Because when you take a textbook 337 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,910 or when you take, I don't know, 338 00:16:35,910 --> 00:16:37,380 let's say, I mean for example, 339 00:16:37,380 --> 00:16:40,080 at the moment, I'm trying to learn German, right? 340 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,580 If I just took a dictionary, 341 00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:43,140 it would take me years, 342 00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:45,960 years before I will learn it. 343 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,390 And I see sometimes people learning programming 344 00:16:48,390 --> 00:16:49,590 a bit like that. 345 00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:54,590 Like they try to learn every single method, 346 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,570 every single function 347 00:16:57,570 --> 00:16:59,910 in a particular programming languages, 348 00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:02,400 API, or you know, 349 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,920 just trying to learn it all, right? 350 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,420 And there's a lot of courses 351 00:17:06,420 --> 00:17:08,880 that are also kind of like a reference guide 352 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,713 kind of style, 353 00:17:09,713 --> 00:17:12,750 where they show you everything. 354 00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:14,550 And I think in terms of learning, 355 00:17:14,550 --> 00:17:17,040 it doesn't really work. 356 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,069 Instead, what you kind of need to do is again, 357 00:17:20,069 --> 00:17:22,380 you have to have a goal, right? 358 00:17:22,380 --> 00:17:24,869 So if you're learning to program, 359 00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:27,930 maybe that goal is you have a particular app 360 00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:29,820 you wanna build. 361 00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:33,570 Now, there's certain foundational skills that you need. 362 00:17:33,570 --> 00:17:36,390 But once you get past the foundation, 363 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:38,580 then you're kind of doing like learning Lego. 364 00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:39,413 You're trying to figure out, 365 00:17:39,413 --> 00:17:41,010 okay, I need to learn this bit. 366 00:17:41,010 --> 00:17:42,060 Where should I go for that? 367 00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:44,880 I need to learn that part in order to do this. 368 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,870 So for example, the way that I'm thinking about German, 369 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:49,920 like learning German, 370 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,770 I've realized I don't need to write German. 371 00:17:52,770 --> 00:17:56,190 I probably could read, 372 00:17:56,190 --> 00:17:58,080 but it doesn't really bother me. 373 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,970 All I wanna focus on is actually listening and speaking. 374 00:18:02,970 --> 00:18:06,213 So that already makes my task a lot easier. 375 00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:11,840 Now, next, if I wanna be able to speak well, 376 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,010 then I have to practice, right? 377 00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:21,000 So there's a really good course 378 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,030 actually by Pimsleur that I use, 379 00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:26,280 where all they do is they just teach you 380 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,190 a couple of ways of saying a sentence 381 00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:31,740 and then they get you to practice. 382 00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:32,850 You just, you know, 383 00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:34,080 they'll be like, what is, 384 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,210 how do you say, "I wanna go to the restaurant"? 385 00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:38,070 How do you say, "I'm going to the restaurant"? 386 00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:40,020 How do you say, "I went to the restaurant"? 387 00:18:40,020 --> 00:18:40,853 Et cetera. 388 00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:42,960 And you have a lot of practice 389 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,260 just putting the words together 390 00:18:46,260 --> 00:18:48,423 in some sort of logical way. 391 00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:52,320 And then because it's not really interactive, 392 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,250 it's just, you know, a list of sentences I have to say, 393 00:18:56,250 --> 00:18:57,930 then I will take that 394 00:18:57,930 --> 00:19:00,000 and take Google Translate, 395 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,800 which can listen live 396 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,380 to what you are speaking in German, 397 00:19:04,380 --> 00:19:07,230 and it'll translate it to English text. 398 00:19:07,230 --> 00:19:10,170 So then I can judge based on that translation, 399 00:19:10,170 --> 00:19:12,030 well how good is my German, 400 00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:15,660 did I manage to conjugate my verbs correctly? 401 00:19:15,660 --> 00:19:18,390 Did I manage to put everything together? 402 00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:22,200 And then in terms of listening, 403 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,190 one of the hacks that I kind of came up with, 404 00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:28,473 I guess, I'm sure it's not original, 405 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,040 but I watch a lot of shows on Netflix, 406 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,800 as I'm sure a lot of you guys do. 407 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,190 But I discovered that if you listen 408 00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:42,540 to a TV show that's produced in another language, 409 00:19:42,540 --> 00:19:43,983 so for me it's German, 410 00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:48,000 you can switch on not only the subtitles, 411 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,350 which is helpful, 412 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:53,160 but you can switch on something called, "Audio described," 413 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,080 which basically will describe to you, 414 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,080 it's intended for people who are unable to see, 415 00:20:04,260 --> 00:20:07,830 to be able to hear what's happening in the show. 416 00:20:07,830 --> 00:20:09,450 But to somebody who's also, 417 00:20:09,450 --> 00:20:11,760 you know, not really very good at the language, 418 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,130 hearing what's happening on the screen 419 00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:16,770 being described to me in German. 420 00:20:16,770 --> 00:20:18,120 You know, it'll be something like, 421 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,160 a man walks into the room, 422 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,800 the man takes the keys from the table, 423 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:23,820 like I can see that, 424 00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:24,960 I can see what's happening, 425 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,270 and I can match up what's happening 426 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:29,850 with what's being described. 427 00:20:29,850 --> 00:20:31,890 And this has been really, really helpful for me 428 00:20:31,890 --> 00:20:33,780 to learn listening. 429 00:20:33,780 --> 00:20:36,060 So yeah, basically what I would say is, 430 00:20:36,060 --> 00:20:37,710 break down the problem, 431 00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:39,390 figure out the goal, 432 00:20:39,390 --> 00:20:42,150 just take the parts that you need to do 433 00:20:42,150 --> 00:20:43,830 to achieve the goal, 434 00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:48,830 and then see how you can practice those skills repeatedly. 435 00:20:49,170 --> 00:20:51,960 That's probably the best way of learning. 436 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,683 Alright, let's take another question from YouTube. 437 00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:03,273 Alright, we got one from, 438 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:11,390 I think your name is Yuvraj Agarkar. 439 00:21:12,090 --> 00:21:15,270 So it's gonna cut off the text again, 440 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:16,297 but I'll read it out. 441 00:21:16,297 --> 00:21:20,730 "I'm 17, and I've completed your iOS and web dev courses. 442 00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:21,960 My question is, 443 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,180 how to be good at reading docs, 444 00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:26,310 and also how to start a startup?" 445 00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:27,143 Okay, cool. 446 00:21:27,143 --> 00:21:28,470 So there's two questions in there. 447 00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:31,170 First question is how do you get good at reading docs? 448 00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:36,300 The answer is, it depends. 449 00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,660 So firstly, there's a difference 450 00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:42,243 in the quality of documentation. 451 00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:46,800 So I worked a lot with iOS, 452 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,390 and so I'm mostly reading Apple documentation, 453 00:21:51,390 --> 00:21:53,790 which is, I mean it's beautiful, 454 00:21:53,790 --> 00:21:56,610 like they've laid out the website really nicely, 455 00:21:56,610 --> 00:21:58,530 but if you've taken my iOS courses, 456 00:21:58,530 --> 00:22:01,623 you know that I think they're kind of minimalist. 457 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,787 They're kind of just like, 458 00:22:03,787 --> 00:22:06,873 "Oh yeah, we have this thing which you can use, 459 00:22:07,710 --> 00:22:08,543 but why don't you go, 460 00:22:08,543 --> 00:22:10,740 and like find out yourself how to do it?" 461 00:22:10,740 --> 00:22:12,600 So yeah, it's useful, 462 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,940 but you know, if you've ever looked at 463 00:22:14,940 --> 00:22:16,470 some of Google's documentation, 464 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:18,180 especially Flutter documentation, 465 00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:21,210 is absolutely incredible. 466 00:22:21,210 --> 00:22:25,290 And you know, really like kudos to the team, 467 00:22:25,290 --> 00:22:28,230 because it is the best documentation I've ever seen. 468 00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:29,670 It's kind of like, 469 00:22:29,670 --> 00:22:32,010 this is a method that we have 470 00:22:32,010 --> 00:22:33,720 in this particular module, 471 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,950 this is how you would use it, 472 00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:36,630 here's a code example, 473 00:22:36,630 --> 00:22:40,440 here are the various parameters that you can, 474 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:41,760 you know, tweak. 475 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,470 And it is just so good 476 00:22:43,470 --> 00:22:45,570 that you can sort of imagine yourself 477 00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:48,690 being able to pick up how to use it very easily. 478 00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:49,747 Whereas Apple kind of like, 479 00:22:49,747 --> 00:22:51,420 "Yeah, we don't really care, you know. 480 00:22:51,420 --> 00:22:53,427 If you make it, you make it." 481 00:22:53,427 --> 00:22:54,260 If you make an app, 482 00:22:54,260 --> 00:22:55,863 there's enough people who make apps, I don't know. 483 00:22:55,863 --> 00:22:57,720 I don't know what is their thinking 484 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,610 behind their documentation, 485 00:22:59,610 --> 00:23:01,293 but it's very hard. 486 00:23:02,430 --> 00:23:03,840 The second thing I would say, 487 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,690 is that you don't necessarily learn 488 00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:08,193 a lot from documentation. 489 00:23:08,193 --> 00:23:11,250 It's kind of like if you were learning a language 490 00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:13,503 and your starting point was the dictionary, 491 00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:16,440 you'll be there for a while. 492 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,910 So the good thing is that, you know, 493 00:23:20,910 --> 00:23:23,250 this kind of comes back to how you learn, right? 494 00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:27,090 A lot of people still learn in a pre-computer, 495 00:23:27,090 --> 00:23:29,130 pre-internet kind of way, 496 00:23:29,130 --> 00:23:30,483 where you read a book, 497 00:23:31,740 --> 00:23:34,650 your lecturer gives you a lecture, 498 00:23:34,650 --> 00:23:37,170 you take notes, you memorize those notes, 499 00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:38,003 you read the book, 500 00:23:38,003 --> 00:23:40,083 you take more notes, you do a test. 501 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,053 This I would say, 502 00:23:44,310 --> 00:23:46,500 is good for exams or for school, 503 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,390 It's probably still the way you have to do it, 504 00:23:48,390 --> 00:23:49,920 but if you're actually just trying to learn 505 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,590 a skill for life or for, you know, 506 00:23:52,590 --> 00:23:55,650 changing jobs or just for yourself, 507 00:23:55,650 --> 00:23:56,580 it's not the best way, 508 00:23:56,580 --> 00:24:00,030 because information is really cheap. 509 00:24:00,030 --> 00:24:03,750 You can get hold of pretty much any knowledge 510 00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,040 or information you want 511 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,900 just by typing it into Google. 512 00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:10,860 So why should I store all of that information in my brain 513 00:24:10,860 --> 00:24:15,660 when you know, it's just two or three keystrokes away? 514 00:24:15,660 --> 00:24:17,670 So I don't really like to do that. 515 00:24:17,670 --> 00:24:19,890 And this comes back to documentation. 516 00:24:19,890 --> 00:24:21,870 I don't remember documentation, 517 00:24:21,870 --> 00:24:24,330 I don't learn documentation. 518 00:24:24,330 --> 00:24:28,143 There are loads of methods that I'm not, 519 00:24:29,250 --> 00:24:31,980 you know, I don't remember how to use. 520 00:24:31,980 --> 00:24:35,370 But the thing I know is that I have the skills 521 00:24:35,370 --> 00:24:40,080 to be able to understand the code 522 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,190 when I need to. 523 00:24:41,190 --> 00:24:43,680 So when I want to look something up, 524 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,660 I look it up in the documentation. 525 00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:47,910 Actually, usually, I look it up in Stack Overflow, 526 00:24:47,910 --> 00:24:50,730 I try to see an example where it's used, 527 00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:52,710 and then in the example, 528 00:24:52,710 --> 00:24:54,030 I'll see a particular method 529 00:24:54,030 --> 00:24:56,310 that's in the documentation, 530 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:57,960 and then if I want more background, 531 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,453 I'll read up on it in the documentation. 532 00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:05,253 It's much better to learn things as when you need to. 533 00:25:06,090 --> 00:25:09,690 So that's pretty much what I do. 534 00:25:09,690 --> 00:25:12,003 So the next question is, 535 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,443 how to start a startup? 536 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,080 That's like, a really big question 537 00:25:20,970 --> 00:25:24,600 and I think back in the Ask, 538 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,003 there's also somebody who asked, 539 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,507 I think it was somebody called Oliver, who said, 540 00:25:31,507 --> 00:25:33,900 "What do you recommend to aspiring entrepreneurs?" 541 00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:35,943 So I'm gonna answer these two together. 542 00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:42,513 So when I started, 543 00:25:43,620 --> 00:25:46,410 so I kind of started building a startup 544 00:25:46,410 --> 00:25:50,070 while I was still working as a doctor, 545 00:25:50,070 --> 00:25:54,213 which is probably a little bit masochistic. 546 00:25:55,530 --> 00:25:59,040 Because I was working these crazy hours, 547 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:04,040 like oh man, it was probably like some 14-hour, 548 00:26:04,620 --> 00:26:07,023 occasionally, like 16-hour days. 549 00:26:08,130 --> 00:26:12,060 And, but the good thing about medicine 550 00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:14,700 at least, is you have night shifts. 551 00:26:14,700 --> 00:26:16,230 Well, the good thing or the bad thing, 552 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:20,370 and the night shifts, you know, to be humane, 553 00:26:20,370 --> 00:26:22,050 at least in Europe, 554 00:26:22,050 --> 00:26:24,150 after three days of night shifts, 555 00:26:24,150 --> 00:26:26,160 we tend to get three days off. 556 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,220 So the first day, you'll be completely destroyed, 557 00:26:29,220 --> 00:26:30,720 you'll be hardly human, 558 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,210 'cause you're trying to switch time zones, right? 559 00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:34,680 It's kinda like flying to Australia 560 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,423 and back every week. 561 00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:39,990 So the first day is kind of like gone, 562 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:41,820 but the second and third days 563 00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:46,530 I found that I was able to kind of recuperate those days 564 00:26:46,530 --> 00:26:49,200 and I would just go to the library 565 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,413 and I would work on my startup. 566 00:26:53,700 --> 00:26:58,230 So the first thing is, you gotta find time. 567 00:26:58,230 --> 00:27:01,230 There is no perfect time to start a startup. 568 00:27:01,230 --> 00:27:03,720 There is no perfect opportunity 569 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,090 that's just gonna like hit you on the head. 570 00:27:06,090 --> 00:27:09,300 Everything that we've built, everything, 571 00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,760 every opportunity that's come to us 572 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,130 has taken a lot of work 573 00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:16,743 to prepare to get to that point, right? 574 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,830 I think there was this thing 575 00:27:19,830 --> 00:27:21,600 that my granddad drilled into me, 576 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,973 which is my late granddad. 577 00:27:25,140 --> 00:27:27,750 He used to take me to school on his bicycle every day, 578 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:30,900 and on this little like 30-minute bicycle ride, 579 00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:35,310 he would give me these like "Chicken Soup" style, 580 00:27:35,310 --> 00:27:37,680 like, pieces of like nuggets of advice. 581 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,720 I have like so many pieces of advice, 582 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,390 including like, okay they're gonna sound weird. 583 00:27:42,390 --> 00:27:45,003 It's like if you ate, 584 00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:49,980 beans uncooked twice, 585 00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:53,280 and you still continue eating uncooked beans, 586 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,918 then that's not very smart. 587 00:27:55,918 --> 00:27:58,740 (Angela laughing) 588 00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:01,530 So I think what he's trying to say is, 589 00:28:01,530 --> 00:28:03,930 don't make the same mistake twice. 590 00:28:03,930 --> 00:28:06,430 I don't know why it has to do with uncooked beans. 591 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:10,530 But another thing that he told me is that, 592 00:28:10,530 --> 00:28:15,390 you know, opportunities come to those who are prepared. 593 00:28:15,390 --> 00:28:17,280 I'm pretty sure it was another food analogy 594 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,650 'cause I do really well with food analogies, 595 00:28:19,650 --> 00:28:21,573 that's the way I understand the world. 596 00:28:22,950 --> 00:28:25,713 But he says that, you know, 597 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,030 every time you see somebody looking like 598 00:28:30,030 --> 00:28:33,000 as if they were just an overnight success, 599 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,500 it's never overnight. 600 00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,130 you don't see all the hours and days 601 00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:41,460 that they've poured into doing something 602 00:28:41,460 --> 00:28:45,450 fruitful or not, successful or not, 603 00:28:45,450 --> 00:28:46,950 until they get to the point 604 00:28:46,950 --> 00:28:48,480 where they're prepared enough 605 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,240 to be hit by that opportunity. 606 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,740 So a good example, I think, 607 00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:55,800 is for example, we built the Flutter course, 608 00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,800 because Tim, who heads up the Flutter team at Google, 609 00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:05,250 took my iOS course and he loved it so much 610 00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:08,340 that he reached out to me over Twitter 611 00:29:08,340 --> 00:29:11,730 and this is how we partnered with the Flutter team 612 00:29:11,730 --> 00:29:14,073 at Google to build this course together. 613 00:29:15,060 --> 00:29:19,860 Now if I had just started building courses day one, 614 00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:22,650 and you know, firstly nobody would know about you. 615 00:29:22,650 --> 00:29:25,500 Secondly, you know, there's no track record. 616 00:29:25,500 --> 00:29:27,240 And thirdly, I'm not even sure 617 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,710 I would be able to build 618 00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:32,910 such a good course from scratch. 619 00:29:32,910 --> 00:29:37,830 So you know, the idea is to spend all of your time 620 00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:41,130 preparing your startup, working on it, 621 00:29:41,130 --> 00:29:43,110 and then you know, there will be moments, 622 00:29:43,110 --> 00:29:44,850 there'll be wins and there'll be losses, 623 00:29:44,850 --> 00:29:46,920 and you have to grab onto the wins, 624 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,810 and not think too much about the losses. 625 00:29:48,810 --> 00:29:50,580 That's pretty much in a nutshell, 626 00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:53,973 how I think about our startup. 627 00:29:55,350 --> 00:29:59,460 Okay, so I'm gonna go back to the chat, 628 00:29:59,460 --> 00:30:04,460 and I'm gonna ask you guys for some more questions, 629 00:30:04,590 --> 00:30:07,143 and let's see if we got some good ones. 630 00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:10,890 Alright, so I think, 631 00:30:10,890 --> 00:30:13,560 when I was looking at the questions 632 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,960 that people asked previously, 633 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,670 and also, in YouTube right now, 634 00:30:17,670 --> 00:30:21,300 the one that I'm seeing a lot is this one. 635 00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:23,940 It seems like everybody wants to know 636 00:30:23,940 --> 00:30:28,140 when the iOS 14 update is coming for iOS, 637 00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:30,360 or is there gonna be a new course? 638 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,770 When is it gonna happen? 639 00:30:31,770 --> 00:30:32,970 What is happening on that? 640 00:30:32,970 --> 00:30:34,470 Should I wait for the course? 641 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:38,010 Should I continue the iOS 13 course? 642 00:30:38,010 --> 00:30:39,810 What's happening? 643 00:30:39,810 --> 00:30:44,810 Okay, so here's what is happening. 644 00:30:46,830 --> 00:30:49,650 We've reviewed Big Sur, 645 00:30:49,650 --> 00:30:52,800 and also the latest version of Xcode. 646 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,350 We're in the process of testing the course 647 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:58,860 through all of these new pieces of software. 648 00:30:58,860 --> 00:31:01,260 And what we realized is that 649 00:31:01,260 --> 00:31:04,050 the changes are not that great. 650 00:31:04,050 --> 00:31:09,033 So there's basically not enough changes to, 651 00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:10,763 there's a, 652 00:31:10,763 --> 00:31:13,620 they've tweaked the style of Xcode a little bit 653 00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:15,630 and they've added some handy features, 654 00:31:15,630 --> 00:31:17,220 which we might point out. 655 00:31:17,220 --> 00:31:19,470 But essentially over, you know, 656 00:31:19,470 --> 00:31:21,303 what we've been doing is, 657 00:31:22,451 --> 00:31:24,570 we've been just sort of trying to figure out 658 00:31:24,570 --> 00:31:27,450 how we can update the last parts of the course 659 00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:29,580 because they're more outdated. 660 00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:31,770 Whereas the beginning modules 661 00:31:31,770 --> 00:31:34,320 sort of up to FlashChat, I think. 662 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,890 So the first 14 or 15 modules we're gonna keep as is, 663 00:31:37,890 --> 00:31:39,210 because they still work. 664 00:31:39,210 --> 00:31:41,220 But we'll update some of the interfaces, 665 00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:44,580 so at least initially, it won't be so confusing. 666 00:31:44,580 --> 00:31:49,230 But that means that there will be no new iOS course, 667 00:31:49,230 --> 00:31:51,450 you won't have to buy anything, 668 00:31:51,450 --> 00:31:53,760 or the updates that we're making 669 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,440 through this winter and next spring 670 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,100 will get added to the existing iOS course. 671 00:31:59,100 --> 00:32:02,070 So don't buy any more courses, 672 00:32:02,070 --> 00:32:04,800 just keep the one that you already have, 673 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,320 and you'll see the updates roll in. 674 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,410 But if you're already learning with the course, 675 00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:13,500 don't worry, the changes are not that big. 676 00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:14,790 You'll be able to, 677 00:32:14,790 --> 00:32:16,390 you'll be able to figure it out. 678 00:32:17,370 --> 00:32:20,970 So that's what's happening on that. 679 00:32:20,970 --> 00:32:24,723 And let's see what other questions we've got in YouTube. 680 00:32:28,050 --> 00:32:32,897 Alright, so we've got a question from Atharva Wasekar, 681 00:32:35,430 --> 00:32:39,243 and also some people on YouTube, it seems. 682 00:32:41,677 --> 00:32:44,277 "Do you watch anime?" 683 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,183 Okay, so that's kind of, 684 00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:53,400 it's interesting, that's a question 685 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,840 that everybody wants to know. 686 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,520 I wonder if it's because of all the memes 687 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,490 that I put into the courses from anime. 688 00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:04,490 So I don't think that, 689 00:33:07,290 --> 00:33:09,060 so the anime that I like basically, 690 00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:10,560 is quite old school. 691 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,780 You know, your girl's not young. 692 00:33:12,780 --> 00:33:17,497 And so for example, Ghibli movies, 693 00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:20,490 "Spirited Away," it's like one of my favorite, 694 00:33:20,490 --> 00:33:22,710 all-time movies. 695 00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:24,150 I love it so much, 696 00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:25,830 but pretty much any Ghibli movie, 697 00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:29,400 it's amazing, it's just like paints the scene. 698 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,630 But more recently, 699 00:33:30,630 --> 00:33:32,430 I'm kind of late to the bandwagon here, 700 00:33:32,430 --> 00:33:34,810 but Netflix started showing this 701 00:33:36,510 --> 00:33:39,337 sort of a western anime called, 702 00:33:39,337 --> 00:33:41,967 "Avatar: The Last Airbender." 703 00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:45,363 Okay, so if you haven't watched this, 704 00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:49,170 don't be put off by the name. 705 00:33:49,170 --> 00:33:51,360 It has a horrible name, 706 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,050 but it is so good, 707 00:33:55,050 --> 00:33:57,933 it's like reliving childhood, you know, 708 00:33:57,933 --> 00:34:01,290 like if you could just go back to being a little child, 709 00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:02,190 that's how it feels. 710 00:34:02,190 --> 00:34:03,960 It's so wholesome, 711 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,590 and oh my God, it's just so good. 712 00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:08,699 If you haven't watched it, 713 00:34:08,699 --> 00:34:09,870 I wouldn't ruin it for you. 714 00:34:09,870 --> 00:34:13,500 But it is literally the best animated show 715 00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:15,449 I have ever watched, 716 00:34:15,449 --> 00:34:18,543 and it has a special place in my heart. 717 00:34:19,860 --> 00:34:22,172 Okay, what other questions have we got? 718 00:34:25,949 --> 00:34:30,949 We've got a question from a 13-year-old boy, I think. 719 00:34:31,534 --> 00:34:33,951 Avadhoot, Avadhoot, Avadhoot. 720 00:34:35,969 --> 00:34:37,500 I'm not sure. 721 00:34:37,500 --> 00:34:42,500 And he asks, "What careers can I have at age 13?" 722 00:34:43,199 --> 00:34:44,760 Okay, so the full question, 723 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,693 I will read out 'cause it's a little bit long. 724 00:34:50,610 --> 00:34:55,610 He says that, "I am a 13-year-old boy, 725 00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:57,930 I'm doing your web development course, 726 00:34:57,930 --> 00:35:00,510 I'm even doing a course based on how to create AI 727 00:35:00,510 --> 00:35:01,860 and ethical hacking. 728 00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:04,860 What careers can I have at this age or a job 729 00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:07,080 that doesn't consider my age? 730 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,370 Please take this question, 731 00:35:08,370 --> 00:35:09,240 love the way you teach, 732 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,860 found it easy to understand, Avadhoot." 733 00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:14,610 Okay, so firstly, 734 00:35:14,610 --> 00:35:15,900 why are you thinking about work? 735 00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:17,250 You're 13, man. 736 00:35:17,250 --> 00:35:19,200 Like, just enjoy life. 737 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,993 It's so good to be that age. 738 00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:24,810 But you know, then again, 739 00:35:24,810 --> 00:35:28,890 I have to say, like when I was 13, 740 00:35:28,890 --> 00:35:31,830 I was probably the same as you. 741 00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:36,420 I was also thinking about like how to get a job, 742 00:35:36,420 --> 00:35:37,440 I don't know what it is. 743 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,540 I think you're probably an overachiever, 744 00:35:39,540 --> 00:35:41,793 like a type A person like me as well. 745 00:35:42,630 --> 00:35:47,100 So when I was 13, 746 00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,140 I was thinking that, 747 00:35:49,140 --> 00:35:52,560 I'd really like to have some pocket money, 748 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,030 'cause my parents didn't really believe 749 00:35:54,030 --> 00:35:54,870 in pocket money, 750 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:56,910 and there were like sweets and snacks 751 00:35:56,910 --> 00:35:58,440 that my friends were having, 752 00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,430 and I was kind of jealous. 753 00:35:59,430 --> 00:36:00,263 So I was like, "You know what? 754 00:36:00,263 --> 00:36:01,860 I'm gonna make my own money." 755 00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:06,540 So I decided to take an inventory of, 756 00:36:06,540 --> 00:36:08,190 what am I good at? 757 00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:11,070 And I tried out a couple of things. 758 00:36:11,070 --> 00:36:13,860 One is, I got legs, I can walk. 759 00:36:13,860 --> 00:36:17,880 So I signed up for this thing in the UK, 760 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,740 I'm not even sure what it's called in elsewhere, 761 00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:21,870 but basically there's this giant book, 762 00:36:21,870 --> 00:36:24,030 like a telephone directory that we used to have, 763 00:36:24,030 --> 00:36:25,590 like pre-internet days. 764 00:36:25,590 --> 00:36:27,960 It's called like, "The Yellow Pages," in the UK. 765 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,850 And you can basically go door-to-door. 766 00:36:29,850 --> 00:36:32,883 lugging these like. two-kilogram books. 767 00:36:33,930 --> 00:36:36,000 and you get paid a pound, 768 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,220 so like about $1.20, 769 00:36:38,220 --> 00:36:42,060 for every one of these books that you deliver. 770 00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:44,820 So the thing is that they're so heavy, 771 00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:47,580 they're like, I don't know, 772 00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:49,020 they're like two kilos each. 773 00:36:49,020 --> 00:36:51,210 So if you're manning 10 of them, 774 00:36:51,210 --> 00:36:52,323 and I was 13, 775 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,920 that was pretty hard, 776 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,660 and I got some pocket money, 777 00:36:57,660 --> 00:36:59,910 but I thought about iterating on that. 778 00:36:59,910 --> 00:37:02,430 So you know, coming back to startups, 779 00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:04,710 you gotta try something, you test it out, 780 00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:07,380 see if it works, see if people like it, 781 00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:09,540 see if it gets you to your goal, 782 00:37:09,540 --> 00:37:11,130 and if not, you iterate. 783 00:37:11,130 --> 00:37:13,053 So my iteration, 784 00:37:14,250 --> 00:37:16,890 basically ended up in me thinking about 785 00:37:16,890 --> 00:37:18,390 what else do I have? 786 00:37:18,390 --> 00:37:21,150 And maybe like manual labor 787 00:37:21,150 --> 00:37:22,653 isn't really my strong point? 788 00:37:23,580 --> 00:37:25,110 So I thought that well, you know, 789 00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:27,090 I'm like pretty good at maths, 790 00:37:27,090 --> 00:37:28,980 I'm pretty good at physics, 791 00:37:28,980 --> 00:37:31,680 and there's probably other kids 792 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,660 who wanna learn math and physics. 793 00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:37,200 So I printed out these little flyers 794 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,090 like from my little home printer. 795 00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,820 So like they were like this big each per ad, 796 00:37:41,820 --> 00:37:43,800 'cause I didn't wanna waste too much ink. 797 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,140 And I cut it out of the page, 798 00:37:46,140 --> 00:37:49,590 and it's about like eight ads per page. 799 00:37:49,590 --> 00:37:51,180 And I went door-to-door, 800 00:37:51,180 --> 00:37:53,430 around sort of my neighborhood area, 801 00:37:53,430 --> 00:37:55,710 like an area that I thought was like, 802 00:37:55,710 --> 00:37:57,210 within walking distance, 803 00:37:57,210 --> 00:38:00,243 and I posted it to everybody in the mailbox, 804 00:38:01,830 --> 00:38:03,690 and then like some people actually called me up 805 00:38:03,690 --> 00:38:05,460 and then I became a tutor, 806 00:38:05,460 --> 00:38:07,710 although probably illegally, 807 00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:09,780 because I'm pretty sure you're not allowed 808 00:38:09,780 --> 00:38:12,480 to work and earn money at age 13, 809 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,630 unless you're like supervised or something. 810 00:38:15,630 --> 00:38:19,950 But that was like my first entrepreneurial bent. 811 00:38:19,950 --> 00:38:21,660 So coming back to your question, 812 00:38:21,660 --> 00:38:23,790 what careers can you have at age 13? 813 00:38:23,790 --> 00:38:25,650 Well now that you have the internet, 814 00:38:25,650 --> 00:38:28,050 effectively, you could do anything, 815 00:38:28,050 --> 00:38:31,320 you could like probably sign up on Fiverr 816 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,353 and start doing freelance gigs. 817 00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:37,650 I think when people sign up to these freelance gigs, 818 00:38:37,650 --> 00:38:41,220 they always wanna like charge what it's worth. 819 00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:43,350 And I would say, just don't do that. 820 00:38:43,350 --> 00:38:45,540 Don't like go overboard. 821 00:38:45,540 --> 00:38:49,140 Charge way, way below what you think it should cost. 822 00:38:49,140 --> 00:38:50,610 So you wanna build somebody a website, 823 00:38:50,610 --> 00:38:52,920 charge $5 for it, you know, 824 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,920 and what you wanna do is like build up your reputation. 825 00:38:57,990 --> 00:39:01,050 So as you get more clients 826 00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:02,250 and if they like what you do, 827 00:39:02,250 --> 00:39:03,870 hopefully, you're doing a good job 828 00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:05,340 'cause you know you're my student, right? 829 00:39:05,340 --> 00:39:07,350 So you're gonna be pretty good, 830 00:39:07,350 --> 00:39:10,980 and when you give the project back to them, 831 00:39:10,980 --> 00:39:13,080 you're learning like skills, like communication, 832 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:14,490 how to work with clients, 833 00:39:14,490 --> 00:39:16,567 what clients mean when they're saying like, 834 00:39:16,567 --> 00:39:18,960 "Oh, I would like that to look more classy." 835 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,000 What does that actually mean to a web developer? 836 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,800 Well, you're gonna work that out. 837 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,590 So once you've got a good client, 838 00:39:25,590 --> 00:39:27,300 then you've got A, word of mouth, 839 00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:28,710 you've also got reviews, 840 00:39:28,710 --> 00:39:31,800 you've got a client who can be your referee, 841 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,690 and you build up on that. 842 00:39:33,690 --> 00:39:36,240 So you take on more clients, 843 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:37,650 maybe you've got too much work. 844 00:39:37,650 --> 00:39:41,220 So now you raise your prices, it's now $10, 845 00:39:41,220 --> 00:39:42,960 and then you've got like too much work again, 846 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,790 you raise your price for $20, 847 00:39:44,790 --> 00:39:46,560 and that way eventually, you'll get to the point 848 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,780 where you're making enough pocket money 849 00:39:48,780 --> 00:39:51,450 to buy sweets or whatever it is 850 00:39:51,450 --> 00:39:53,940 you know, you wanna achieve. 851 00:39:53,940 --> 00:39:56,970 Maybe you wanna like buy stocks at age 13, 852 00:39:56,970 --> 00:40:00,450 maybe you're gonna buy into Tesla, I don't know. 853 00:40:00,450 --> 00:40:03,393 But yeah, so that's my advice. 854 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,760 Let's see if we got some more questions on YouTube. 855 00:40:12,060 --> 00:40:15,960 So let's see, 856 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,363 what you guys are saying in here. 857 00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:27,690 Oh, this is a really good one. 858 00:40:27,690 --> 00:40:32,640 So this is a question from Dionysios, 859 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,351 Dionysios, I think that's how you pronounce it. 860 00:40:35,351 --> 00:40:36,450 (Angela chuckling) 861 00:40:36,450 --> 00:40:39,277 And he asked, 862 00:40:39,277 --> 00:40:41,550 "Understanding syntax is not so difficult. 863 00:40:41,550 --> 00:40:43,620 Formulating syntax together with logic 864 00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:46,470 to build functional code is difficult. 865 00:40:46,470 --> 00:40:47,520 What are the best strategies 866 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,910 to connect the dots to build real-world projects?" 867 00:40:50,910 --> 00:40:53,460 This is something that you guys have posted a lot, 868 00:40:53,460 --> 00:40:55,890 and it's something that we think is really important. 869 00:40:55,890 --> 00:40:57,900 Because one of the sort of feedback 870 00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,307 that we were always getting from students is, 871 00:41:00,307 --> 00:41:01,710 "Yeah, okay, so like, you know, 872 00:41:01,710 --> 00:41:03,360 I've completed this tutorial, 873 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,520 I've completed that tutorial, 874 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,850 but you know, after I'm done, 875 00:41:08,850 --> 00:41:11,640 I still don't know how to make my project. 876 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,640 I still dunno like how to build something," right? 877 00:41:16,650 --> 00:41:19,170 So this was really like our thinking 878 00:41:19,170 --> 00:41:24,150 when we started building the 100 Days of Code project. 879 00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:27,720 I wanted to make a course, 880 00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,780 basically, which starts out with tutorials 881 00:41:30,780 --> 00:41:34,200 and a lot of heavy sort of guidance, 882 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,900 but then to progress on, 883 00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:41,220 to be able to let you experience 884 00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:43,770 what it's like when, you know, 885 00:41:43,770 --> 00:41:45,570 the training wheels are off. 886 00:41:45,570 --> 00:41:48,240 So when I first learned how to ride a bicycle, 887 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:49,650 you know, I was riding it, 888 00:41:49,650 --> 00:41:51,930 and I didn't really have one 889 00:41:51,930 --> 00:41:54,150 of those fancy bicycles with the training wheels. 890 00:41:54,150 --> 00:41:58,920 I just had my dad like holding the bicycle from behind. 891 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,550 And you know, initially I was just riding, 892 00:42:02,550 --> 00:42:03,870 he was running behind, 893 00:42:03,870 --> 00:42:06,270 and then at some point, he kind of let go, 894 00:42:06,270 --> 00:42:07,710 and I didn't really notice, 895 00:42:07,710 --> 00:42:10,260 and I could just start cycling myself. 896 00:42:10,260 --> 00:42:11,490 But then when I turned around 897 00:42:11,490 --> 00:42:13,020 and I saw that there was nobody there, 898 00:42:13,020 --> 00:42:14,910 I immediately crashed, right? 899 00:42:14,910 --> 00:42:18,360 So yeah, I guess my track record 900 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,070 with bicycles is not great, 901 00:42:20,070 --> 00:42:25,070 but so I guess the learning point there, is that, 902 00:42:26,070 --> 00:42:31,070 you know, you can't always be in tutorial land 903 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,900 if you wanna become somebody 904 00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:37,080 who's not dependent on tutorials. 905 00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,477 So a lot of people have been asking me, 906 00:42:40,477 --> 00:42:44,160 "Hey, you know this course, 100 Days of Code, 907 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,830 why is it that there's like less and less video 908 00:42:46,830 --> 00:42:48,870 towards the end? 909 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:50,310 Is it because you haven't finished it? 910 00:42:50,310 --> 00:42:51,600 What's happening?" 911 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,640 So the answer to that is no, 912 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:54,810 it's not because I haven't finished it, 913 00:42:54,810 --> 00:42:57,990 it's because it's really carefully thought out, 914 00:42:57,990 --> 00:42:59,130 believe it or not. 915 00:42:59,130 --> 00:43:04,130 And the idea is to be that person 916 00:43:04,350 --> 00:43:07,560 holding the bicycle from behind 917 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,390 and then to eventually let you go 918 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,700 because I want you to be able to finish that course 919 00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:17,040 and to get a job, 920 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,660 or to build your own startup, 921 00:43:18,660 --> 00:43:20,280 build your own project. 922 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,370 But that requires quite a bit of struggle. 923 00:43:23,370 --> 00:43:27,390 And the struggle comes from building projects, right? 924 00:43:27,390 --> 00:43:28,800 But you know, when I say to people, 925 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,360 the best way to learn to code 926 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,860 after you finish a tutorial, 927 00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:33,720 is to build a project. 928 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:34,553 Well they say, 929 00:43:34,553 --> 00:43:36,240 "I don't know which project do I build? 930 00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:37,320 And how do I build it? 931 00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,330 I don't know how to get there." 932 00:43:39,330 --> 00:43:41,610 So that's why we built this course 933 00:43:41,610 --> 00:43:44,430 to try and make it, 934 00:43:44,430 --> 00:43:46,710 so that initially, you have sort of more 935 00:43:46,710 --> 00:43:50,400 step-by-step, like video lessons, 936 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,880 and then you have step-by-step text lessons 937 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,000 with more dependence on the documentation, 938 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,100 and on like the kind of real tools 939 00:43:59,100 --> 00:44:00,990 that a developer would use like Google 940 00:44:00,990 --> 00:44:01,890 and Stack Overflow. 941 00:44:01,890 --> 00:44:03,060 Like, you need to struggle, 942 00:44:03,060 --> 00:44:06,360 you need to find out the answers for yourself. 943 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:07,950 But you know, there's walkthroughs, 944 00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:09,120 and there's guidance, 945 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,910 and then eventually, to get you to the very end, 946 00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:14,670 where you are actually building your own projects, 947 00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:16,080 for your own portfolio, 948 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,660 which contains 100% your own code, 949 00:44:18,660 --> 00:44:20,820 which you can, you know, copyright, 950 00:44:20,820 --> 00:44:22,500 you can sell, you can do whatever you want, 951 00:44:22,500 --> 00:44:23,970 because it's your own. 952 00:44:23,970 --> 00:44:26,310 And what we've done is just provided 953 00:44:26,310 --> 00:44:28,020 the project ideas for you, 954 00:44:28,020 --> 00:44:29,910 something that we think is really feasible 955 00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:31,230 that you can definitely do 956 00:44:31,230 --> 00:44:35,070 if you've completed the entire first 80 days. 957 00:44:35,070 --> 00:44:37,320 So that was what we tried to do. 958 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,690 And you know, I think the best way 959 00:44:41,580 --> 00:44:46,580 to build real-world projects is to start small. 960 00:44:46,890 --> 00:44:49,980 So don't start off trying to build a car, 961 00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:52,200 build a skateboard instead. 962 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,910 And then once you've built the skateboard, 963 00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:56,340 maybe add a handle to it, 964 00:44:56,340 --> 00:44:57,870 turn it into a scooter, 965 00:44:57,870 --> 00:44:59,430 and then maybe once you've done that, 966 00:44:59,430 --> 00:45:00,510 turn it into a motorcycle, 967 00:45:00,510 --> 00:45:01,740 and then turn it into a car. 968 00:45:01,740 --> 00:45:03,727 Don't just go out there and be like, 969 00:45:03,727 --> 00:45:06,270 "I wanna build Facebook plus Twitter, 970 00:45:06,270 --> 00:45:09,300 plus you know, whatever enterprise software, 971 00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:10,530 and I'm gonna do it, 972 00:45:10,530 --> 00:45:12,030 like after I complete this course." 973 00:45:12,030 --> 00:45:12,863 Like that's just, 974 00:45:12,863 --> 00:45:14,580 you're setting yourself up to fail. 975 00:45:14,580 --> 00:45:16,773 You have to start with something simple. 976 00:45:18,030 --> 00:45:20,850 Alright, so we're kind of running a bit over, 977 00:45:20,850 --> 00:45:22,440 I said we do 45 minutes, 978 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,480 but we're kind of close to an hour now. 979 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,410 So I'm just gonna glance at the YouTube chat 980 00:45:28,410 --> 00:45:32,583 and try to see what you guys are saying, like, live. 981 00:45:34,140 --> 00:45:35,361 Let's do some quick questions. 982 00:45:35,361 --> 00:45:37,028 "Swift UI or UIkit?" 983 00:45:38,190 --> 00:45:40,230 Swift UI is getting a lot better. 984 00:45:40,230 --> 00:45:44,400 But you know, when we did the Swift, 985 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,470 the Objective-C to Swift conversion, 986 00:45:46,470 --> 00:45:48,240 it took like years still, 987 00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:50,220 like loads of apps are built with Objective-C. 988 00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:53,520 So Swift UI is not something that you can learn 989 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,470 and get hired for right now. 990 00:45:55,470 --> 00:45:56,730 It's really fun, 991 00:45:56,730 --> 00:45:58,770 and I really enjoy playing with it, 992 00:45:58,770 --> 00:46:03,540 but I don't really think it's serious enough 993 00:46:03,540 --> 00:46:06,060 like for my needs at the moment. 994 00:46:06,060 --> 00:46:07,770 So we're probably gonna build 995 00:46:07,770 --> 00:46:10,050 in more tutorials to the existing course. 996 00:46:10,050 --> 00:46:11,490 So if you miss that, 997 00:46:11,490 --> 00:46:12,900 you don't have to buy a new course, 998 00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,633 your existing iOS 13 course will get updated, 999 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,580 but it's gonna be probably more Swift UI, 1000 00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:21,990 a little bit less UIkit, 1001 00:46:21,990 --> 00:46:25,410 and then we're gonna keep tweaking that percentage 1002 00:46:25,410 --> 00:46:27,390 until, you know, 1003 00:46:27,390 --> 00:46:29,760 until like when Apple fully transitions. 1004 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,370 But I wanna do it slowly because right now, 1005 00:46:32,370 --> 00:46:34,740 the kind of skills that's really important 1006 00:46:34,740 --> 00:46:36,633 that's gonna get you hired is UIkit. 1007 00:46:38,917 --> 00:46:41,133 "Can you make your iOS course 1008 00:46:41,133 --> 00:46:43,617 like 100 Days challenge code?" 1009 00:46:46,380 --> 00:46:48,300 I think we thought about making 1010 00:46:48,300 --> 00:46:50,490 the 100 Days of Code challenge, 1011 00:46:50,490 --> 00:46:53,790 we thought about like what's the perfect language for it, 1012 00:46:53,790 --> 00:46:56,070 because Python is something that you can do 1013 00:46:56,070 --> 00:46:57,390 like a lot of different things with, 1014 00:46:57,390 --> 00:47:00,153 like web development or data science, 1015 00:47:01,140 --> 00:47:03,750 or scripting, or automation. 1016 00:47:03,750 --> 00:47:07,740 Swift is pretty much all about making apps, 1017 00:47:07,740 --> 00:47:12,273 and it just doesn't really work that well with it. 1018 00:47:13,620 --> 00:47:14,820 I think it works better 1019 00:47:14,820 --> 00:47:16,830 when you can actually build real projects 1020 00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:19,500 like big projects that you can show off 1021 00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:20,700 and you can use. 1022 00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:23,130 I think it's just a better format. 1023 00:47:23,130 --> 00:47:26,850 Like, none of the things that we do is random. 1024 00:47:26,850 --> 00:47:29,523 Like, I spend a lot of time thinking about it. 1025 00:47:31,830 --> 00:47:34,440 Okay, what kind of games do you prefer? 1026 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,873 Computer/Android? 1027 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,490 Oh man, I recently got into this steam game 1028 00:47:41,490 --> 00:47:45,030 called "Salt

the RPG elements, 1032 00:47:51,570 --> 00:47:54,270 it's got platforming, 1033 00:47:54,270 --> 00:47:55,920 it's got some combat, 1034 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,260 and it's got like just a lot of elements. 1035 00:47:58,260 --> 00:47:59,640 It's like really well-rounded, 1036 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,200 and I discovered that it was actually made 1037 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,660 by like one
