Description
This course is for people who know nothing or very little about programming and are interested in becoming programmers.
I want to teach you how to become a programmer.
Programming is fun and you can do great things with it.
It also pays rather well and there are lots of programming jobs available.
But programming is a big universe and for someone considering to become a software developer, it can be overwhelming and confusing.
In "How to Learn programming and Become a programmer" I try to dispel the confusion and teach you:
How to learn a programming language
How to get a job as a programmer
What other jobs exist in software development that don't require you to know programming
What programming in 5 programming languages looks like: Python, Java, C#, PHP, JavaScript
What programming frameworks exist and which are more popular in each if the 5 languages
Starting programming exercises based on what I showed you
6 good resources for continuing on your path of learning programming
2 interesting resources for teaching children programming
How to choose a programming language
What are the most important programming domains
Which programming language have good salaries and which don't
What programming language I recommend you to start with
I focus on the five most popular programming languages: Python, Java, C#, PHP, JavaScript.
In the choosing a programming language by purpose video I also talk about Swift, Rust, Kotlin and C++.
I also explain some of the programming domains like what backend and frontend programming, microservices, APIs, machine learning and Big Data means means.
In the programming frameworks section I talk about Spring Boot, Jhipster, Django, Flask, .NET, Symfony, Laravel, Angular, React, Vue.
I also talk about a CMS: WordPress, a library: jQuery and a game engine: Unity.
This course is for you if you want to become a software developer.
This course is for you if you are not sure how to learn programming and what your path should be from choosing a programming language to getting hired as a programmer.
I hope this course will help someone become a programmer.
While I do teach some code basics, this is not a "Learn programming" course. It is meant to be taken alongside such a course, as it offers complementary information to it.
Who this course is for:
- People who know nothing or very little about programming and are interested in becomming programmers
- People who want to get a job as a software developer
- People who want to learn about the five most popular programming languages

I am a big fan of using and helping others use agile/scrum and writing and helping others write easy to maintain code.
I have been a developer for 16 years. I have 10 years of PHP experience, 3 years of Java and JavaScript, 2 years of C# and 1 year of Python.
I am passionate about writing easy to maintain code and I tried to help the programming community with my courses on this subject.
I'm also a big fan of Agile and SCRUM and how you can build motivated, happy teams around it.
I've worked on a lot of types of projects. From small to medium projects where I was the only developer to medium and big projects in teams of 30+ people.
Besides being a developer, in the last five years I've also have the Scrum Master role, or led the process of applying Scrum inside the team.
I am currently writing mostly Java, and have certifications in PHP and Scrum.
