00:00:00,570 --> 00:00:05,490
Hey guys, it's Angela here. After I made this course,
2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,640
I decided to take it myself so I could see what it's like to be in your shoes.
3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,420
Along the way, I realized there are things we could create,
4
00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:20,190
to make your learning experience easier and even more enjoyable.
5
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:23,850
So in this video, I'm going to share my top tips.
6
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:28,140
And how do you use all the tools 🛠 and resources we built for you.
7
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:33,570
The first tip I have for you is to use another screen.
8
00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:39,290
That way you can watch the lesson on a tablet or phone and code on your main
9
00:00:39,690 --> 00:00:44,130
computer. So you can code along with me and get practice
10
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,960
instead of just listening to the videos. Programming is a practical skill.
11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,070
So, just as you need practice, when learning skateboarding 🛹,
12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,640
you also need practice to get good at Programming. Tip number two:
13
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:04,080
I created a Python syntax cheat sheet, which you can download and print out.
14
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:08,640
It contains some of the most common programming concepts we'll learn.
15
00:01:09,030 --> 00:01:13,140
And it's a handy reference to have when you're doing the coding challenges.
16
00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:18,540
You can download this in the course resources for this lesson where you will
17
00:01:18,540 --> 00:01:22,170
also find my "12 Rules to Learn to Code" eBook.
18
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:27,360
One of the hardest things about learning is keeping the ✨motivation✨ high.
19
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:33,170
I find I'm usually more motivated when I'm in the library or a cafe where I can
20
00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:36,060
see other people studying or working hard.
21
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,840
So I decided to create a two-hour "Study with Me" a video where I'm concentrating
22
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:45,810
hard. We'll work for 25 minutes at a time,
23
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,200
and then take a five-minute break before we get back to the next Pomodoro 🍅. Tip
24
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:55,800
number four: when you're learning new programming concepts
25
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,040
it's a good idea to note down how the code works while your mind is fresh on
26
00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:01,883
that topic.
27
00:02:02,430 --> 00:02:07,430
So I created a coding notes page that you can print out and collate to create a
28
00:02:08,430 --> 00:02:09,660
coding notebook.
29
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:15,530
The notepaper is the perfect place to write down examples of coding concepts
30
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:17,333
you've learnt.
31
00:02:17,850 --> 00:02:21,900
It comes with line numbers and handy indentation guides,
32
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,320
which is super useful when it comes to writing out Python code. Coding is not
33
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:32,190
like history. There's nothing you need to memorize.
34
00:02:32,730 --> 00:02:36,420
It's a bit like baking. You don't need to remember the recipe.
35
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:41,160
You just need to get practice and understand how to use the recipe.
36
00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:46,820
One of the most helpful note-taking systems for learning is the Cornell note
37
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:50,070
method. In our coding notebook
38
00:02:50,130 --> 00:02:53,880
we've incorporated all the key elements from Cornell,
39
00:02:54,540 --> 00:02:59,540
including the sidebar where you can write comments on each line of code and the
40
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:01,930
bottom summary section,
41
00:03:02,290 --> 00:03:07,290
where you can write an overview of the concept you just learnt. In the course
42
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:09,010
resources for this lesson
43
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:14,370
you'll also find some desktop wallpapers I've created for you that contain
44
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:19,350
some of the messages I keep around my desk to keep me motivated,
45
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:24,270
and I hope they'll help you too. Tip number five:
46
00:03:24,990 --> 00:03:27,600
celebrate right after you complete each day.
47
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:32,730
Because this course is designed to take you from beginner to professional,
48
00:03:33,210 --> 00:03:34,860
as you go from day to day,
49
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,920
there will be less and less tutorial and more and more practice. To keep you on
50
00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:44,040
track, I've created a "100 Days of Code" poster.
51
00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:49,410
Once you complete a day, you can check it off on the poster. So print it out,
52
00:03:49,590 --> 00:03:53,190
put it up on a wall and take each day as a challenge.
53
00:03:53,790 --> 00:03:58,290
Reward yourself after each day you tick off ✅ and day by day,
54
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,480
you will learn and grow as a developer.
55
00:04:01,620 --> 00:04:06,300
This course has a safe space where you can make mistakes, ask questions,
56
00:04:06,780 --> 00:04:11,760
but most importantly become confident in your skills as a programmer.
57
00:04:13,050 --> 00:04:15,510
I had so much fun building this course,
58
00:04:15,990 --> 00:04:19,140
and I hope that you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
59
00:04:19,829 --> 00:04:22,019
So here's to your success!
