WEBVTT 00:06.390 --> 00:09.450 -: Hi guys, this is Angela from the App Brewery, 00:09.450 --> 00:12.630 and I'm so excited to be doing 00:12.630 --> 00:17.630 this first ever live AMA. 00:17.790 --> 00:19.350 So for those of you guys 00:19.350 --> 00:21.540 who have been with me for the longest, 00:21.540 --> 00:23.850 you know that back in the days, in the courses, 00:23.850 --> 00:27.180 we used to do these live, "Ask Angela Anythings." 00:27.180 --> 00:30.900 And this is trying to bring it back 00:30.900 --> 00:33.870 and see how you guys are all doing, 00:33.870 --> 00:36.960 while you're safely at home. 00:36.960 --> 00:40.350 And yeah, so I've never really done anything like this, 00:40.350 --> 00:43.230 so I'm a little bit nervous, 00:43.230 --> 00:46.650 but hopefully, it's gonna go great, 00:46.650 --> 00:51.150 and I'm gonna get to know some more of you guys. 00:51.150 --> 00:54.360 Alright, so the plan is, 00:54.360 --> 00:56.400 we're going to take a look 00:56.400 --> 00:57.690 at some of the questions 00:57.690 --> 00:59.910 that were asked ahead of time. 00:59.910 --> 01:01.740 So over the last week, 01:01.740 --> 01:04.350 you guys have been posting your questions 01:04.350 --> 01:07.080 on the Ask page, 01:07.080 --> 01:10.080 and our team has compiled a bunch 01:10.080 --> 01:14.220 of the most upvoted questions. 01:14.220 --> 01:16.230 So we're gonna tackle some of those, 01:16.230 --> 01:17.790 and then we're going to tackle 01:17.790 --> 01:21.510 some of these YouTube questions live. 01:21.510 --> 01:25.110 And I don't see too much of a delay in the chat, 01:25.110 --> 01:27.900 so hopefully, I'll be able to get to you, 01:27.900 --> 01:31.140 and we can do a little bit of back and forth. 01:31.140 --> 01:32.670 So, alright, 01:32.670 --> 01:36.870 so here we've got the question from Melissa Santos. 01:36.870 --> 01:38.670 So I'm just gonna answer it all over again 01:38.670 --> 01:40.860 'cause it seemed like when I went to the slides, 01:40.860 --> 01:42.480 you couldn't hear me anymore. 01:42.480 --> 01:44.220 So let's try this again. 01:44.220 --> 01:46.027 So her question is, 01:46.027 --> 01:48.090 "How do you manage to use different languages 01:48.090 --> 01:52.320 for different projects without mixing up the syntax?" 01:52.320 --> 01:55.740 Alright, so the first thing I wanna say is that, 01:55.740 --> 01:59.100 I mix up the syntax all the time, 01:59.100 --> 02:00.900 especially when I'm working on, 02:00.900 --> 02:03.150 like a Swift project for a long time, 02:03.150 --> 02:05.550 and then I switch to maybe doing 02:05.550 --> 02:09.690 a web development project with JavaScript, 02:09.690 --> 02:10.523 then you know, 02:10.523 --> 02:12.300 I'm gonna be missing semicolons, 02:12.300 --> 02:16.350 I'm gonna be just not writing JavaScript code. 02:16.350 --> 02:19.830 But the great thing is that there's good linters, 02:19.830 --> 02:22.590 and if you use a good code editor 02:22.590 --> 02:25.650 like Atom or Yes-code or Sublime, 02:25.650 --> 02:28.260 then they should be able to pick up these things for you. 02:28.260 --> 02:33.120 So I kind of let the machine do the machine part, 02:33.120 --> 02:35.010 and then I do the brain part, 02:35.010 --> 02:38.760 which is the logic, that's the hardest part. 02:38.760 --> 02:40.890 And the first part of her question, 02:40.890 --> 02:43.863 she actually asked, so, 02:46.184 --> 02:47.490 is it a good idea 02:47.490 --> 02:50.250 to become fluent in one language 02:50.250 --> 02:53.100 before moving on to other languages? 02:53.100 --> 02:55.800 Now, I think this really depends 02:55.800 --> 02:58.080 on what you're trying to do, right? 02:58.080 --> 03:00.600 If you are trying to build, 03:00.600 --> 03:04.050 if your end project is an iOS app, 03:04.050 --> 03:05.820 then yeah, you definitely, 03:05.820 --> 03:10.260 definitely need to get really good 03:10.260 --> 03:13.050 at probably Swift first. 03:13.050 --> 03:15.420 But you know, if you are trying to do something 03:15.420 --> 03:18.000 that occasionally requires just a little bit 03:18.000 --> 03:19.200 of web development skills 03:19.200 --> 03:22.290 or just a little bit of maybe like, 03:22.290 --> 03:26.373 a Flutter multi, 03:27.480 --> 03:29.820 iOS and Android app, 03:29.820 --> 03:33.240 then you could just dive into the thing that you need. 03:33.240 --> 03:35.580 The way I always see it is, 03:35.580 --> 03:37.560 you know, these programming languages, 03:37.560 --> 03:39.270 they're not like a subject, 03:39.270 --> 03:41.310 they're not like history or geography, 03:41.310 --> 03:44.760 they're more like a tool. 03:44.760 --> 03:47.160 Like you are learning how to use the hammer, 03:47.160 --> 03:49.530 or you're learning how to use a saw. 03:49.530 --> 03:52.980 You don't have to get to like 100% of you know, 03:52.980 --> 03:56.850 hammer ability before you can move on to the next tool. 03:56.850 --> 04:00.513 It all depends on what you are trying to build, right? 04:01.740 --> 04:05.673 Alright, so let's move on to the next question. 04:07.320 --> 04:09.510 Alright, so in this question, 04:09.510 --> 04:12.300 we've got from JPD, 04:12.300 --> 04:14.610 and he's asking, 04:14.610 --> 04:19.020 given that Coronavirus has affected so many people 04:19.020 --> 04:22.350 and a lot of people are looking for ways 04:22.350 --> 04:26.820 of working from home, 04:26.820 --> 04:29.340 working remotely online, 04:29.340 --> 04:31.860 does that mean that all the jobs 04:31.860 --> 04:35.010 are gonna be filled up pretty quickly, 04:35.010 --> 04:39.003 and you know, it'll be far more competitive? 04:40.350 --> 04:42.572 And I think I would say that, 04:42.572 --> 04:44.100 you know, you have to remember that 04:44.100 --> 04:46.650 when anything is desirable, 04:46.650 --> 04:48.630 it is gonna be competitive. 04:48.630 --> 04:52.500 So if you think it's a great idea 04:52.500 --> 04:54.600 to work from home, 04:54.600 --> 04:59.600 and you know, have the flexibility of where you live, 04:59.940 --> 05:01.140 be able to work remotely, 05:01.140 --> 05:04.620 then somebody else is gonna have that idea as well. 05:04.620 --> 05:06.360 But then again, you know, 05:06.360 --> 05:08.670 things that are worth doing 05:08.670 --> 05:13.320 are probably worth competing for. 05:13.320 --> 05:16.590 It all depends on what is your ultimate goal. 05:16.590 --> 05:21.450 And if your goal is to get a job as a web developer 05:21.450 --> 05:23.160 or as an app developer, 05:23.160 --> 05:25.350 then you just gotta focus on that goal. 05:25.350 --> 05:27.810 And don't worry so much about what, 05:27.810 --> 05:29.490 how much competition there is, 05:29.490 --> 05:31.740 or how many other people 05:31.740 --> 05:33.990 are applying to the same thing. 05:33.990 --> 05:37.410 I mean, I remember back in the days when, 05:37.410 --> 05:39.330 so I don't know if you guys know this, 05:39.330 --> 05:41.850 but I trained as a medical doctor, 05:41.850 --> 05:44.790 and I worked as a doctor, 05:44.790 --> 05:48.600 training in orthopedic surgery for a number of years. 05:48.600 --> 05:52.230 And when I was in medical school, 05:52.230 --> 05:54.543 even from like day one, 05:55.500 --> 05:57.390 people were telling me that, 05:57.390 --> 05:59.910 if you wanna become a surgeon, 05:59.910 --> 06:04.800 like the chances are something like one in like 1000, 06:04.800 --> 06:06.330 it's just so competitive. 06:06.330 --> 06:07.620 And then within surgery, 06:07.620 --> 06:10.140 there's, you know, different competition ratios. 06:10.140 --> 06:11.730 Like if you wanna do brain surgery, 06:11.730 --> 06:13.920 that's like, the most competitive field 06:13.920 --> 06:17.220 'cause there's only so few brain surgeons. 06:17.220 --> 06:19.380 But if you wanna do, I don't know, 06:19.380 --> 06:20.610 maybe another type of surgery, 06:20.610 --> 06:22.860 maybe it's less competitive. 06:22.860 --> 06:25.560 So I think even from that point, 06:25.560 --> 06:27.210 I was trained upon this idea 06:27.210 --> 06:31.980 that competition is just a way of life, you know? 06:31.980 --> 06:34.170 You want something, other people want something, 06:34.170 --> 06:37.620 and then you just gotta focus on yourself. 06:37.620 --> 06:42.390 There's a really great book by Carl Newport, 06:42.390 --> 06:43.470 which I really like 06:43.470 --> 06:46.590 called, "So Good They Can't Ignore You." 06:46.590 --> 06:48.510 I think that's the title anyways. 06:48.510 --> 06:50.790 And I mean, the thing is 06:50.790 --> 06:52.110 you don't really have to read the book. 06:52.110 --> 06:53.430 I mean it is a good book, 06:53.430 --> 06:57.690 but basically, most of it is in the title. 06:57.690 --> 07:02.040 Like become so good at whatever it is you do 07:02.040 --> 07:04.050 that they can't ignore you, 07:04.050 --> 07:06.570 and they could be your boss, 07:06.570 --> 07:09.000 they could be a recruiter, 07:09.000 --> 07:10.140 they could be, 07:10.140 --> 07:11.940 you know, anybody, really. 07:11.940 --> 07:13.830 And this is really something 07:13.830 --> 07:17.970 that I've always kept in my mind, 07:17.970 --> 07:20.613 like I've just tried to, 07:22.080 --> 07:26.070 focus on doing the best job I can, 07:26.070 --> 07:30.420 and that means focusing on the student experience. 07:30.420 --> 07:32.310 Like, how can I make a course 07:32.310 --> 07:36.780 that is going to be the most helpful, 07:36.780 --> 07:41.780 the most enjoyable, and the most completed, right? 07:42.510 --> 07:45.150 So I focus on these things. 07:45.150 --> 07:46.260 and I don't really think about 07:46.260 --> 07:48.393 what other people are doing. 07:49.230 --> 07:54.000 and that means that I have a product that I created, 07:54.000 --> 07:58.110 and it's just much easier for me to think this way. 07:58.110 --> 07:59.857 If I spent all my time thinking about, 07:59.857 --> 08:02.430 "Well, you know, so and so is doing this, 08:02.430 --> 08:04.290 or that person is doing that," 08:04.290 --> 08:08.280 then I'm just gonna be copying everybody all the time. 08:08.280 --> 08:10.290 And if you guys have taken my courses, 08:10.290 --> 08:13.847 you know, that's usually not the way to go. 08:13.847 --> 08:15.810 I mean that also means that, 08:15.810 --> 08:17.550 there's a lot of bad jokes in there 08:17.550 --> 08:20.850 that are untested and nobody sanctioned, 08:20.850 --> 08:23.310 and it's probably not a good idea, 08:23.310 --> 08:27.840 but you know, hey, we gotta try things, right? 08:27.840 --> 08:30.873 Alright, let's move on to the next question. 08:34.590 --> 08:39.590 Alright, so this question is from Mayank Saini. 08:40.440 --> 08:43.620 I hope I pronounce that okay. 08:43.620 --> 08:47.100 I think I'm just gonna be murdering people's names 08:47.100 --> 08:49.150 'cause I'm gonna be bad at pronunciation. 08:50.400 --> 08:53.227 Okay, so Mayank says a number of things. 08:53.227 --> 08:54.960 "My question is, how can I get a job 08:54.960 --> 08:57.960 as a full stack web developer to my dream company? 08:57.960 --> 09:00.327 What do I have to master to do so?" 09:01.200 --> 09:05.550 Okay, so your goal is to get a job 09:05.550 --> 09:07.050 as a full stack web developer. 09:07.050 --> 09:08.610 Now, some of you guys watching, 09:08.610 --> 09:12.060 maybe your goal is to get a job as an iOS developer. 09:12.060 --> 09:14.520 Maybe you wanna work as a data scientist, 09:14.520 --> 09:17.940 maybe you wanna work at Facebook, Apple, Google, 09:17.940 --> 09:19.050 whatever it may be. 09:19.050 --> 09:21.810 But the great thing is you already got your goal. 09:21.810 --> 09:24.570 Like, this is the first step, 09:24.570 --> 09:26.460 because there are so many people I talk to 09:26.460 --> 09:28.140 who don't even know what they want. 09:28.140 --> 09:32.070 So you already one step ahead of other people. 09:32.070 --> 09:35.430 So now that you know what you wanna get, 09:35.430 --> 09:36.930 how do you get there? 09:36.930 --> 09:41.313 Well, let's think about it from the other point of view. 09:42.180 --> 09:44.730 Let's say that you are a company. 09:44.730 --> 09:47.670 Let's say you're a manager at Google, 09:47.670 --> 09:50.040 and you wanna hire a web developer. 09:50.040 --> 09:52.710 Well, if you were the one who was doing the interview, 09:52.710 --> 09:55.530 who was sifting through all of the applications, 09:55.530 --> 09:57.030 what would you think about? 09:57.030 --> 09:59.700 This is a really, really useful exercise, 09:59.700 --> 10:01.500 and this is something that I really, 10:02.951 --> 10:04.560 it took some, you know, growing up 10:04.560 --> 10:06.093 to actually understand this. 10:06.990 --> 10:08.100 Because when you think about it 10:08.100 --> 10:10.260 from the other person's perspective, 10:10.260 --> 10:12.180 you know, they're not trying to make it hard for you. 10:12.180 --> 10:14.280 They're not trying to make you jump through hoops 10:14.280 --> 10:16.290 for the sake of jumping through hoops. 10:16.290 --> 10:18.780 But let's say that you get, 10:18.780 --> 10:20.760 you know, like 20,000 applications. 10:20.760 --> 10:24.870 So recently we were looking for a summer intern 10:24.870 --> 10:27.270 and there's just loads, 10:27.270 --> 10:29.583 loads of applications that come in, 10:30.840 --> 10:34.230 and you know, as much as you really want 10:34.230 --> 10:39.120 to give each application all of your attention 10:39.120 --> 10:44.100 and just, you know, really understand each person, 10:44.100 --> 10:45.390 you don't really have the time. 10:45.390 --> 10:47.340 So you're gonna have to think about 10:47.340 --> 10:52.340 ways of making it a bit easier on yourself, right? 10:53.190 --> 10:55.470 So one of those ways 10:55.470 --> 10:58.740 is by looking at somebody's qualification. 10:58.740 --> 11:00.180 But another way, 11:00.180 --> 11:03.240 and probably something that I'm more fond of, 11:03.240 --> 11:04.680 is actually just looking at 11:04.680 --> 11:07.323 what are they capable of doing? 11:08.250 --> 11:10.350 And this really is a key. 11:10.350 --> 11:14.130 So you need to build a portfolio, 11:14.130 --> 11:16.290 you need to show the world, 11:16.290 --> 11:19.650 not tell the world what you can do. 11:19.650 --> 11:23.580 So create some web apps 11:23.580 --> 11:25.230 if you wanna become a web developer, 11:25.230 --> 11:26.610 create some iOS apps 11:26.610 --> 11:28.650 if you wanna become an iOS developer. 11:28.650 --> 11:33.650 And don't just stick to, you know, 11:34.209 --> 11:36.510 the stuff that you see in tutorials. 11:36.510 --> 11:39.180 You have to somehow stand out. 11:39.180 --> 11:42.390 And one of the best tips I can give you, 11:42.390 --> 11:46.830 is again, think from the recruiter's point of view. 11:46.830 --> 11:48.930 They wanna hire a web developer, 11:48.930 --> 11:52.080 they are probably a manager, right? 11:52.080 --> 11:52.953 Of some sort. 11:54.150 --> 11:57.873 What are the kind of tools that they use every day? 11:58.920 --> 12:01.020 So if you're a manager, 12:01.020 --> 12:02.520 especially if you're a product manager 12:02.520 --> 12:04.020 or a software lead, 12:04.020 --> 12:05.790 you're probably gonna use some form 12:05.790 --> 12:09.840 of a task management like Trello or Asana. 12:09.840 --> 12:12.570 You're probably gonna use GitHub, 12:12.570 --> 12:15.303 or something like GitHub, like Bitbucket. 12:16.290 --> 12:19.230 Think about the tools they use, 12:19.230 --> 12:23.520 and build a tool that they can understand. 12:23.520 --> 12:26.430 So if they use Trello or Asana, 12:26.430 --> 12:28.320 I'm sure there's pain points, 12:28.320 --> 12:30.630 I'm sure there are certain features 12:30.630 --> 12:33.060 that would be really cool. 12:33.060 --> 12:37.830 So if you build a Trello clone, 12:37.830 --> 12:40.503 but you add in some features of your own, 12:41.670 --> 12:42.840 something that you think of 12:42.840 --> 12:45.030 that you think would be really useful, 12:45.030 --> 12:46.920 and then you show that manager 12:46.920 --> 12:48.150 what you've built, 12:48.150 --> 12:51.750 they will instantly understand what you've built, 12:51.750 --> 12:54.900 they will see the advantages of your product, 12:54.900 --> 12:58.200 and they will be able to attest to your skill, 12:58.200 --> 13:02.283 which is what is so, so important. 13:03.480 --> 13:06.060 So my advice, 13:06.060 --> 13:08.400 whenever you wanna achieve any sort of goal 13:08.400 --> 13:09.930 that involves other people, 13:09.930 --> 13:13.563 is to think from the other person's point of view. 13:15.120 --> 13:20.120 Alright, so we've done a couple of questions 13:20.130 --> 13:24.870 from the Ask page now, 13:24.870 --> 13:27.600 and I'm seeing so much chat activity, 13:27.600 --> 13:30.630 I really want to get to know you guys 13:30.630 --> 13:32.160 a little bit better. 13:32.160 --> 13:34.860 So I wanna do a poll. 13:34.860 --> 13:38.493 So it's going to be poll time. 13:43.290 --> 13:47.250 Alright, so if you go ahead 13:47.250 --> 13:51.003 and take a look at my slide, 13:52.050 --> 13:53.490 I wanna know where you are. 13:53.490 --> 13:56.520 So where are you streaming from? 13:56.520 --> 13:57.810 Now what you need to do, 13:57.810 --> 14:00.570 is to head over to this link. 14:00.570 --> 14:01.470 So wait a minute, 14:01.470 --> 14:04.680 I'm gonna remove this banner, 14:04.680 --> 14:05.513 and you can see, 14:05.513 --> 14:08.850 if you go to londonappbrewery.com/where, 14:08.850 --> 14:13.850 it will redirect you to this horribly long URL 14:14.130 --> 14:16.650 that's underneath, which is a poll. 14:16.650 --> 14:18.840 So choose an answer, 14:18.840 --> 14:21.240 and I wanna know 14:21.240 --> 14:25.143 what your location is. 14:27.180 --> 14:30.153 Alright, so I think some of you guys have voted, 14:31.590 --> 14:34.983 let's see the results. 14:35.880 --> 14:37.740 Okay, I think there's like 200 votes now, 14:37.740 --> 14:40.923 I'm gonna take a look at the results. 14:43.680 --> 14:47.370 Alright, so it seems like most people are from Asia, 14:47.370 --> 14:50.643 next is Europe, and next is North America. 14:51.510 --> 14:53.220 I mean, that kind of makes sense to me. 14:53.220 --> 14:55.890 I think it's about evening time in Asia now, 14:55.890 --> 14:59.190 and then in Europe, where I'm at, in London, 14:59.190 --> 15:00.840 we're kind of during the day 15:00.840 --> 15:03.780 and then North America's just waking up. 15:03.780 --> 15:05.880 So that's pretty cool. 15:05.880 --> 15:10.740 Alright, so let's take some questions 15:10.740 --> 15:12.930 from YouTube. 15:12.930 --> 15:15.390 You guys have been chatting away in there, 15:15.390 --> 15:19.683 and I'm trying to look at it for, 15:21.420 --> 15:23.490 just to see what's actually happening, 15:23.490 --> 15:25.470 if you're getting the audio and everything. 15:25.470 --> 15:30.390 But let's take some questions from YouTube. 15:30.390 --> 15:32.853 So go ahead and ask away. 15:36.180 --> 15:40.350 Alright, so we got one here from Claudia, 15:40.350 --> 15:42.240 and it's gonna cut off 'cause it's quite long, 15:42.240 --> 15:43.807 but I'll read it out to you. 15:43.807 --> 15:45.960 "I wanna ask you about the way you learn 15:45.960 --> 15:47.310 new coding skills. 15:47.310 --> 15:50.070 How do you go about teaching yourself new skills? 15:50.070 --> 15:52.200 What's your learning process?" 15:52.200 --> 15:53.610 Okay, cool. 15:53.610 --> 15:58.000 So I think one of the most useful skills 15:58.860 --> 16:03.243 like, that I've ever picked up, is learning. 16:04.140 --> 16:08.220 I think if you can learn quite quickly, 16:08.220 --> 16:13.220 then it's gonna help you in pretty much all sorts of ways. 16:15.180 --> 16:20.180 So one of the ways that I do, 16:20.550 --> 16:23.070 one of the ways that I sort of conceptualize it, 16:23.070 --> 16:26.310 is I try to take the entire topic 16:26.310 --> 16:30.000 and I break it down into, 16:30.000 --> 16:33.060 you know, what are all the parts that I need to learn? 16:33.060 --> 16:34.560 Because when you take a textbook 16:34.560 --> 16:35.910 or when you take, I don't know, 16:35.910 --> 16:37.380 let's say, I mean for example, 16:37.380 --> 16:40.080 at the moment, I'm trying to learn German, right? 16:40.080 --> 16:41.580 If I just took a dictionary, 16:41.580 --> 16:43.140 it would take me years, 16:43.140 --> 16:45.960 years before I will learn it. 16:45.960 --> 16:48.390 And I see sometimes people learning programming 16:48.390 --> 16:49.590 a bit like that. 16:49.590 --> 16:54.590 Like they try to learn every single method, 16:55.200 --> 16:57.570 every single function 16:57.570 --> 16:59.910 in a particular programming languages, 16:59.910 --> 17:02.400 API, or you know, 17:02.400 --> 17:04.920 just trying to learn it all, right? 17:04.920 --> 17:06.420 And there's a lot of courses 17:06.420 --> 17:08.880 that are also kind of like a reference guide 17:08.880 --> 17:09.713 kind of style, 17:09.713 --> 17:12.750 where they show you everything. 17:12.750 --> 17:14.550 And I think in terms of learning, 17:14.550 --> 17:17.040 it doesn't really work. 17:17.040 --> 17:20.070 Instead, what you kind of need to do is again, 17:20.070 --> 17:22.380 you have to have a goal, right? 17:22.380 --> 17:24.870 So if you're learning to program, 17:24.870 --> 17:27.930 maybe that goal is you have a particular app 17:27.930 --> 17:29.820 you wanna build. 17:29.820 --> 17:33.570 Now, there's certain foundational skills that you need. 17:33.570 --> 17:36.390 But once you get past the foundation, 17:36.390 --> 17:38.580 then you're kind of doing like learning Lego. 17:38.580 --> 17:39.413 You're trying to figure out, 17:39.413 --> 17:41.010 okay, I need to learn this bit. 17:41.010 --> 17:42.060 Where should I go for that? 17:42.060 --> 17:44.880 I need to learn that part in order to do this. 17:44.880 --> 17:48.870 So for example, the way that I'm thinking about German, 17:48.870 --> 17:49.920 like learning German, 17:49.920 --> 17:52.770 I've realized I don't need to write German. 17:52.770 --> 17:56.190 I probably could read, 17:56.190 --> 17:58.080 but it doesn't really bother me. 17:58.080 --> 18:02.970 All I wanna focus on is actually listening and speaking. 18:02.970 --> 18:06.213 So that already makes my task a lot easier. 18:07.140 --> 18:11.840 Now, next, if I wanna be able to speak well, 18:13.800 --> 18:17.010 then I have to practice, right? 18:17.010 --> 18:21.000 So there's a really good course 18:21.000 --> 18:24.030 actually by Pimsleur that I use, 18:24.030 --> 18:26.280 where all they do is they just teach you 18:26.280 --> 18:29.190 a couple of ways of saying a sentence 18:29.190 --> 18:31.740 and then they get you to practice. 18:31.740 --> 18:32.850 You just, you know, 18:32.850 --> 18:34.080 they'll be like, what is, 18:34.080 --> 18:36.210 how do you say, "I wanna go to the restaurant"? 18:36.210 --> 18:38.070 How do you say, "I'm going to the restaurant"? 18:38.070 --> 18:40.020 How do you say, "I went to the restaurant"? 18:40.020 --> 18:40.853 Et cetera. 18:40.853 --> 18:42.960 And you have a lot of practice 18:42.960 --> 18:46.260 just putting the words together 18:46.260 --> 18:48.423 in some sort of logical way. 18:49.260 --> 18:52.320 And then because it's not really interactive, 18:52.320 --> 18:56.250 it's just, you know, a list of sentences I have to say, 18:56.250 --> 18:57.930 then I will take that 18:57.930 --> 19:00.000 and take Google Translate, 19:00.000 --> 19:01.800 which can listen live 19:01.800 --> 19:04.380 to what you are speaking in German, 19:04.380 --> 19:07.230 and it'll translate it to English text. 19:07.230 --> 19:10.170 So then I can judge based on that translation, 19:10.170 --> 19:12.030 well how good is my German, 19:12.030 --> 19:15.660 did I manage to conjugate my verbs correctly? 19:15.660 --> 19:18.390 Did I manage to put everything together? 19:18.390 --> 19:22.200 And then in terms of listening, 19:22.200 --> 19:26.190 one of the hacks that I kind of came up with, 19:26.190 --> 19:28.473 I guess, I'm sure it's not original, 19:29.520 --> 19:32.040 but I watch a lot of shows on Netflix, 19:32.040 --> 19:34.800 as I'm sure a lot of you guys do. 19:34.800 --> 19:38.190 But I discovered that if you listen 19:38.190 --> 19:42.540 to a TV show that's produced in another language, 19:42.540 --> 19:43.983 so for me it's German, 19:45.030 --> 19:48.000 you can switch on not only the subtitles, 19:48.000 --> 19:49.350 which is helpful, 19:49.350 --> 19:53.160 but you can switch on something called, "Audio described," 19:53.160 --> 19:58.080 which basically will describe to you, 19:58.080 --> 20:03.080 it's intended for people who are unable to see, 20:04.260 --> 20:07.830 to be able to hear what's happening in the show. 20:07.830 --> 20:09.450 But to somebody who's also, 20:09.450 --> 20:11.760 you know, not really very good at the language, 20:11.760 --> 20:14.130 hearing what's happening on the screen 20:14.130 --> 20:16.770 being described to me in German. 20:16.770 --> 20:18.120 You know, it'll be something like, 20:18.120 --> 20:20.160 a man walks into the room, 20:20.160 --> 20:22.800 the man takes the keys from the table, 20:22.800 --> 20:23.820 like I can see that, 20:23.820 --> 20:24.960 I can see what's happening, 20:24.960 --> 20:27.270 and I can match up what's happening 20:27.270 --> 20:29.850 with what's being described. 20:29.850 --> 20:31.890 And this has been really, really helpful for me 20:31.890 --> 20:33.780 to learn listening. 20:33.780 --> 20:36.060 So yeah, basically what I would say is, 20:36.060 --> 20:37.710 break down the problem, 20:37.710 --> 20:39.390 figure out the goal, 20:39.390 --> 20:42.150 just take the parts that you need to do 20:42.150 --> 20:43.830 to achieve the goal, 20:43.830 --> 20:48.830 and then see how you can practice those skills repeatedly. 20:49.170 --> 20:51.960 That's probably the best way of learning. 20:51.960 --> 20:55.683 Alright, let's take another question from YouTube. 21:00.060 --> 21:03.273 Alright, we got one from, 21:06.390 --> 21:11.390 I think your name is Yuvraj Agarkar. 21:12.090 --> 21:15.270 So it's gonna cut off the text again, 21:15.270 --> 21:16.297 but I'll read it out. 21:16.297 --> 21:20.730 "I'm 17, and I've completed your iOS and web dev courses. 21:20.730 --> 21:21.960 My question is, 21:21.960 --> 21:24.180 how to be good at reading docs, 21:24.180 --> 21:26.310 and also how to start a startup?" 21:26.310 --> 21:27.143 Okay, cool. 21:27.143 --> 21:28.470 So there's two questions in there. 21:28.470 --> 21:31.170 First question is how do you get good at reading docs? 21:32.340 --> 21:36.300 The answer is, it depends. 21:36.300 --> 21:39.660 So firstly, there's a difference 21:39.660 --> 21:42.243 in the quality of documentation. 21:43.500 --> 21:46.800 So I worked a lot with iOS, 21:46.800 --> 21:51.390 and so I'm mostly reading Apple documentation, 21:51.390 --> 21:53.790 which is, I mean it's beautiful, 21:53.790 --> 21:56.610 like they've laid out the website really nicely, 21:56.610 --> 21:58.530 but if you've taken my iOS courses, 21:58.530 --> 22:01.623 you know that I think they're kind of minimalist. 22:02.520 --> 22:03.787 They're kind of just like, 22:03.787 --> 22:06.873 "Oh yeah, we have this thing which you can use, 22:07.710 --> 22:08.543 but why don't you go, 22:08.543 --> 22:10.740 and like find out yourself how to do it?" 22:10.740 --> 22:12.600 So yeah, it's useful, 22:12.600 --> 22:14.940 but you know, if you've ever looked at 22:14.940 --> 22:16.470 some of Google's documentation, 22:16.470 --> 22:18.180 especially Flutter documentation, 22:18.180 --> 22:21.210 is absolutely incredible. 22:21.210 --> 22:25.290 And you know, really like kudos to the team, 22:25.290 --> 22:28.230 because it is the best documentation I've ever seen. 22:28.230 --> 22:29.670 It's kind of like, 22:29.670 --> 22:32.010 this is a method that we have 22:32.010 --> 22:33.720 in this particular module, 22:33.720 --> 22:34.950 this is how you would use it, 22:34.950 --> 22:36.630 here's a code example, 22:36.630 --> 22:40.440 here are the various parameters that you can, 22:40.440 --> 22:41.760 you know, tweak. 22:41.760 --> 22:43.470 And it is just so good 22:43.470 --> 22:45.570 that you can sort of imagine yourself 22:45.570 --> 22:48.690 being able to pick up how to use it very easily. 22:48.690 --> 22:49.747 Whereas Apple kind of like, 22:49.747 --> 22:51.420 "Yeah, we don't really care, you know. 22:51.420 --> 22:53.427 If you make it, you make it." 22:53.427 --> 22:54.260 If you make an app, 22:54.260 --> 22:55.863 there's enough people who make apps, I don't know. 22:55.863 --> 22:57.720 I don't know what is their thinking 22:57.720 --> 22:59.610 behind their documentation, 22:59.610 --> 23:01.293 but it's very hard. 23:02.430 --> 23:03.840 The second thing I would say, 23:03.840 --> 23:06.690 is that you don't necessarily learn 23:06.690 --> 23:08.193 a lot from documentation. 23:08.193 --> 23:11.250 It's kind of like if you were learning a language 23:11.250 --> 23:13.503 and your starting point was the dictionary, 23:14.340 --> 23:16.440 you'll be there for a while. 23:16.440 --> 23:20.910 So the good thing is that, you know, 23:20.910 --> 23:23.250 this kind of comes back to how you learn, right? 23:23.250 --> 23:27.090 A lot of people still learn in a pre-computer, 23:27.090 --> 23:29.130 pre-internet kind of way, 23:29.130 --> 23:30.483 where you read a book, 23:31.740 --> 23:34.650 your lecturer gives you a lecture, 23:34.650 --> 23:37.170 you take notes, you memorize those notes, 23:37.170 --> 23:38.003 you read the book, 23:38.003 --> 23:40.083 you take more notes, you do a test. 23:41.040 --> 23:43.053 This I would say, 23:44.310 --> 23:46.500 is good for exams or for school, 23:46.500 --> 23:48.390 It's probably still the way you have to do it, 23:48.390 --> 23:49.920 but if you're actually just trying to learn 23:49.920 --> 23:52.590 a skill for life or for, you know, 23:52.590 --> 23:55.650 changing jobs or just for yourself, 23:55.650 --> 23:56.580 it's not the best way, 23:56.580 --> 24:00.030 because information is really cheap. 24:00.030 --> 24:03.750 You can get hold of pretty much any knowledge 24:03.750 --> 24:05.040 or information you want 24:05.040 --> 24:06.900 just by typing it into Google. 24:06.900 --> 24:10.860 So why should I store all of that information in my brain 24:10.860 --> 24:15.660 when you know, it's just two or three keystrokes away? 24:15.660 --> 24:17.670 So I don't really like to do that. 24:17.670 --> 24:19.890 And this comes back to documentation. 24:19.890 --> 24:21.870 I don't remember documentation, 24:21.870 --> 24:24.330 I don't learn documentation. 24:24.330 --> 24:28.143 There are loads of methods that I'm not, 24:29.250 --> 24:31.980 you know, I don't remember how to use. 24:31.980 --> 24:35.370 But the thing I know is that I have the skills 24:35.370 --> 24:40.080 to be able to understand the code 24:40.080 --> 24:41.190 when I need to. 24:41.190 --> 24:43.680 So when I want to look something up, 24:43.680 --> 24:45.660 I look it up in the documentation. 24:45.660 --> 24:47.910 Actually, usually, I look it up in Stack Overflow, 24:47.910 --> 24:50.730 I try to see an example where it's used, 24:50.730 --> 24:52.710 and then in the example, 24:52.710 --> 24:54.030 I'll see a particular method 24:54.030 --> 24:56.310 that's in the documentation, 24:56.310 --> 24:57.960 and then if I want more background, 24:57.960 --> 25:00.453 I'll read up on it in the documentation. 25:01.380 --> 25:05.253 It's much better to learn things as when you need to. 25:06.090 --> 25:09.690 So that's pretty much what I do. 25:09.690 --> 25:12.003 So the next question is, 25:13.320 --> 25:16.443 how to start a startup? 25:17.880 --> 25:20.080 That's like, a really big question 25:20.970 --> 25:24.600 and I think back in the Ask, 25:24.600 --> 25:27.003 there's also somebody who asked, 25:28.080 --> 25:31.507 I think it was somebody called Oliver, who said, 25:31.507 --> 25:33.900 "What do you recommend to aspiring entrepreneurs?" 25:33.900 --> 25:35.943 So I'm gonna answer these two together. 25:38.220 --> 25:42.513 So when I started, 25:43.620 --> 25:46.410 so I kind of started building a startup 25:46.410 --> 25:50.070 while I was still working as a doctor, 25:50.070 --> 25:54.213 which is probably a little bit masochistic. 25:55.530 --> 25:59.040 Because I was working these crazy hours, 25:59.040 --> 26:04.040 like oh man, it was probably like some 14-hour, 26:04.620 --> 26:07.023 occasionally, like 16-hour days. 26:08.130 --> 26:12.060 And, but the good thing about medicine 26:12.060 --> 26:14.700 at least, is you have night shifts. 26:14.700 --> 26:16.230 Well, the good thing or the bad thing, 26:16.230 --> 26:20.370 and the night shifts, you know, to be humane, 26:20.370 --> 26:22.050 at least in Europe, 26:22.050 --> 26:24.150 after three days of night shifts, 26:24.150 --> 26:26.160 we tend to get three days off. 26:26.160 --> 26:29.220 So the first day, you'll be completely destroyed, 26:29.220 --> 26:30.720 you'll be hardly human, 26:30.720 --> 26:33.210 'cause you're trying to switch time zones, right? 26:33.210 --> 26:34.680 It's kinda like flying to Australia 26:34.680 --> 26:36.423 and back every week. 26:37.620 --> 26:39.990 So the first day is kind of like gone, 26:39.990 --> 26:41.820 but the second and third days 26:41.820 --> 26:46.530 I found that I was able to kind of recuperate those days 26:46.530 --> 26:49.200 and I would just go to the library 26:49.200 --> 26:52.413 and I would work on my startup. 26:53.700 --> 26:58.230 So the first thing is, you gotta find time. 26:58.230 --> 27:01.230 There is no perfect time to start a startup. 27:01.230 --> 27:03.720 There is no perfect opportunity 27:03.720 --> 27:06.090 that's just gonna like hit you on the head. 27:06.090 --> 27:09.300 Everything that we've built, everything, 27:09.300 --> 27:11.760 every opportunity that's come to us 27:11.760 --> 27:14.130 has taken a lot of work 27:14.130 --> 27:16.743 to prepare to get to that point, right? 27:18.000 --> 27:19.830 I think there was this thing 27:19.830 --> 27:21.600 that my granddad drilled into me, 27:21.600 --> 27:23.973 which is my late granddad. 27:25.140 --> 27:27.750 He used to take me to school on his bicycle every day, 27:27.750 --> 27:30.900 and on this little like 30-minute bicycle ride, 27:30.900 --> 27:35.310 he would give me these like "Chicken Soup" style, 27:35.310 --> 27:37.680 like, pieces of like nuggets of advice. 27:37.680 --> 27:39.720 I have like so many pieces of advice, 27:39.720 --> 27:42.390 including like, okay they're gonna sound weird. 27:42.390 --> 27:45.003 It's like if you ate, 27:46.020 --> 27:49.980 beans uncooked twice, 27:49.980 --> 27:53.280 and you still continue eating uncooked beans, 27:53.280 --> 27:55.918 then that's not very smart. 27:55.918 --> 27:58.740 (Angela laughing) 27:58.740 --> 28:01.530 So I think what he's trying to say is, 28:01.530 --> 28:03.930 don't make the same mistake twice. 28:03.930 --> 28:06.430 I don't know why it has to do with uncooked beans. 28:07.350 --> 28:10.530 But another thing that he told me is that, 28:10.530 --> 28:15.390 you know, opportunities come to those who are prepared. 28:15.390 --> 28:17.280 I'm pretty sure it was another food analogy 28:17.280 --> 28:19.650 'cause I do really well with food analogies, 28:19.650 --> 28:21.573 that's the way I understand the world. 28:22.950 --> 28:25.713 But he says that, you know, 28:26.880 --> 28:30.030 every time you see somebody looking like 28:30.030 --> 28:33.000 as if they were just an overnight success, 28:33.000 --> 28:34.500 it's never overnight. 28:34.500 --> 28:38.130 you don't see all the hours and days 28:38.130 --> 28:41.460 that they've poured into doing something 28:41.460 --> 28:45.450 fruitful or not, successful or not, 28:45.450 --> 28:46.950 until they get to the point 28:46.950 --> 28:48.480 where they're prepared enough 28:48.480 --> 28:51.240 to be hit by that opportunity. 28:51.240 --> 28:52.740 So a good example, I think, 28:52.740 --> 28:55.800 is for example, we built the Flutter course, 28:55.800 --> 29:00.800 because Tim, who heads up the Flutter team at Google, 29:01.590 --> 29:05.250 took my iOS course and he loved it so much 29:05.250 --> 29:08.340 that he reached out to me over Twitter 29:08.340 --> 29:11.730 and this is how we partnered with the Flutter team 29:11.730 --> 29:14.073 at Google to build this course together. 29:15.060 --> 29:19.860 Now if I had just started building courses day one, 29:19.860 --> 29:22.650 and you know, firstly nobody would know about you. 29:22.650 --> 29:25.500 Secondly, you know, there's no track record. 29:25.500 --> 29:27.240 And thirdly, I'm not even sure 29:27.240 --> 29:28.710 I would be able to build 29:28.710 --> 29:32.910 such a good course from scratch. 29:32.910 --> 29:37.830 So you know, the idea is to spend all of your time 29:37.830 --> 29:41.130 preparing your startup, working on it, 29:41.130 --> 29:43.110 and then you know, there will be moments, 29:43.110 --> 29:44.850 there'll be wins and there'll be losses, 29:44.850 --> 29:46.920 and you have to grab onto the wins, 29:46.920 --> 29:48.810 and not think too much about the losses. 29:48.810 --> 29:50.580 That's pretty much in a nutshell, 29:50.580 --> 29:53.973 how I think about our startup. 29:55.350 --> 29:59.460 Okay, so I'm gonna go back to the chat, 29:59.460 --> 30:04.460 and I'm gonna ask you guys for some more questions, 30:04.590 --> 30:07.143 and let's see if we got some good ones. 30:08.940 --> 30:10.890 Alright, so I think, 30:10.890 --> 30:13.560 when I was looking at the questions 30:13.560 --> 30:15.960 that people asked previously, 30:15.960 --> 30:17.670 and also, in YouTube right now, 30:17.670 --> 30:21.300 the one that I'm seeing a lot is this one. 30:21.300 --> 30:23.940 It seems like everybody wants to know 30:23.940 --> 30:28.140 when the iOS 14 update is coming for iOS, 30:28.140 --> 30:30.360 or is there gonna be a new course? 30:30.360 --> 30:31.770 When is it gonna happen? 30:31.770 --> 30:32.970 What is happening on that? 30:32.970 --> 30:34.470 Should I wait for the course? 30:34.470 --> 30:38.010 Should I continue the iOS 13 course? 30:38.010 --> 30:39.810 What's happening? 30:39.810 --> 30:44.810 Okay, so here's what is happening. 30:46.830 --> 30:49.650 We've reviewed Big Sur, 30:49.650 --> 30:52.800 and also the latest version of Xcode. 30:52.800 --> 30:55.350 We're in the process of testing the course 30:55.350 --> 30:58.860 through all of these new pieces of software. 30:58.860 --> 31:01.260 And what we realized is that 31:01.260 --> 31:04.050 the changes are not that great. 31:04.050 --> 31:09.033 So there's basically not enough changes to, 31:09.930 --> 31:10.763 there's a, 31:10.763 --> 31:13.620 they've tweaked the style of Xcode a little bit 31:13.620 --> 31:15.630 and they've added some handy features, 31:15.630 --> 31:17.220 which we might point out. 31:17.220 --> 31:19.470 But essentially over, you know, 31:19.470 --> 31:21.303 what we've been doing is, 31:22.451 --> 31:24.570 we've been just sort of trying to figure out 31:24.570 --> 31:27.450 how we can update the last parts of the course 31:27.450 --> 31:29.580 because they're more outdated. 31:29.580 --> 31:31.770 Whereas the beginning modules 31:31.770 --> 31:34.320 sort of up to FlashChat, I think. 31:34.320 --> 31:37.890 So the first 14 or 15 modules we're gonna keep as is, 31:37.890 --> 31:39.210 because they still work. 31:39.210 --> 31:41.220 But we'll update some of the interfaces, 31:41.220 --> 31:44.580 so at least initially, it won't be so confusing. 31:44.580 --> 31:49.230 But that means that there will be no new iOS course, 31:49.230 --> 31:51.450 you won't have to buy anything, 31:51.450 --> 31:53.760 or the updates that we're making 31:53.760 --> 31:55.440 through this winter and next spring 31:55.440 --> 31:59.100 will get added to the existing iOS course. 31:59.100 --> 32:02.070 So don't buy any more courses, 32:02.070 --> 32:04.800 just keep the one that you already have, 32:04.800 --> 32:07.320 and you'll see the updates roll in. 32:07.320 --> 32:10.410 But if you're already learning with the course, 32:10.410 --> 32:13.500 don't worry, the changes are not that big. 32:13.500 --> 32:14.790 You'll be able to, 32:14.790 --> 32:16.390 you'll be able to figure it out. 32:17.370 --> 32:20.970 So that's what's happening on that. 32:20.970 --> 32:24.723 And let's see what other questions we've got in YouTube. 32:28.050 --> 32:32.897 Alright, so we've got a question from Atharva Wasekar, 32:35.430 --> 32:39.243 and also some people on YouTube, it seems. 32:41.677 --> 32:44.277 "Do you watch anime?" 32:45.120 --> 32:48.183 Okay, so that's kind of, 32:51.570 --> 32:53.400 it's interesting, that's a question 32:53.400 --> 32:54.840 that everybody wants to know. 32:54.840 --> 32:56.520 I wonder if it's because of all the memes 32:56.520 --> 32:59.490 that I put into the courses from anime. 32:59.490 --> 33:04.490 So I don't think that, 33:07.290 --> 33:09.060 so the anime that I like basically, 33:09.060 --> 33:10.560 is quite old school. 33:10.560 --> 33:12.780 You know, your girl's not young. 33:12.780 --> 33:17.497 And so for example, Ghibli movies, 33:17.497 --> 33:20.490 "Spirited Away," it's like one of my favorite, 33:20.490 --> 33:22.710 all-time movies. 33:22.710 --> 33:24.150 I love it so much, 33:24.150 --> 33:25.830 but pretty much any Ghibli movie, 33:25.830 --> 33:29.400 it's amazing, it's just like paints the scene. 33:29.400 --> 33:30.630 But more recently, 33:30.630 --> 33:32.430 I'm kind of late to the bandwagon here, 33:32.430 --> 33:34.810 but Netflix started showing this 33:36.510 --> 33:39.337 sort of a western anime called, 33:39.337 --> 33:41.967 "Avatar: The Last Airbender." 33:43.020 --> 33:45.363 Okay, so if you haven't watched this, 33:46.470 --> 33:49.170 don't be put off by the name. 33:49.170 --> 33:51.360 It has a horrible name, 33:51.360 --> 33:55.050 but it is so good, 33:55.050 --> 33:57.933 it's like reliving childhood, you know, 33:57.933 --> 34:01.290 like if you could just go back to being a little child, 34:01.290 --> 34:02.190 that's how it feels. 34:02.190 --> 34:03.960 It's so wholesome, 34:03.960 --> 34:07.590 and oh my God, it's just so good. 34:07.590 --> 34:08.700 If you haven't watched it, 34:08.700 --> 34:09.870 I wouldn't ruin it for you. 34:09.870 --> 34:13.500 But it is literally the best animated show 34:13.500 --> 34:15.450 I have ever watched, 34:15.450 --> 34:18.543 and it has a special place in my heart. 34:19.860 --> 34:22.173 Okay, what other questions have we got? 34:25.950 --> 34:30.950 We've got a question from a 13-year-old boy, I think. 34:31.534 --> 34:33.951 Avadhoot, Avadhoot, Avadhoot. 34:35.970 --> 34:37.500 I'm not sure. 34:37.500 --> 34:42.500 And he asks, "What careers can I have at age 13?" 34:43.200 --> 34:44.760 Okay, so the full question, 34:44.760 --> 34:48.693 I will read out 'cause it's a little bit long. 34:50.610 --> 34:55.610 He says that, "I am a 13-year-old boy, 34:55.680 --> 34:57.930 I'm doing your web development course, 34:57.930 --> 35:00.510 I'm even doing a course based on how to create AI 35:00.510 --> 35:01.860 and ethical hacking. 35:01.860 --> 35:04.860 What careers can I have at this age or a job 35:04.860 --> 35:07.080 that doesn't consider my age? 35:07.080 --> 35:08.370 Please take this question, 35:08.370 --> 35:09.240 love the way you teach, 35:09.240 --> 35:11.860 found it easy to understand, Avadhoot." 35:11.860 --> 35:14.610 Okay, so firstly, 35:14.610 --> 35:15.900 why are you thinking about work? 35:15.900 --> 35:17.250 You're 13, man. 35:17.250 --> 35:19.200 Like, just enjoy life. 35:19.200 --> 35:21.993 It's so good to be that age. 35:23.220 --> 35:24.810 But you know, then again, 35:24.810 --> 35:28.890 I have to say, like when I was 13, 35:28.890 --> 35:31.830 I was probably the same as you. 35:31.830 --> 35:36.420 I was also thinking about like how to get a job, 35:36.420 --> 35:37.440 I don't know what it is. 35:37.440 --> 35:39.540 I think you're probably an overachiever, 35:39.540 --> 35:41.793 like a type A person like me as well. 35:42.630 --> 35:47.100 So when I was 13, 35:47.100 --> 35:49.140 I was thinking that, 35:49.140 --> 35:52.560 I'd really like to have some pocket money, 35:52.560 --> 35:54.030 'cause my parents didn't really believe 35:54.030 --> 35:54.870 in pocket money, 35:54.870 --> 35:56.910 and there were like sweets and snacks 35:56.910 --> 35:58.440 that my friends were having, 35:58.440 --> 35:59.430 and I was kind of jealous. 35:59.430 --> 36:00.263 So I was like, "You know what? 36:00.263 --> 36:01.860 I'm gonna make my own money." 36:01.860 --> 36:06.540 So I decided to take an inventory of, 36:06.540 --> 36:08.190 what am I good at? 36:08.190 --> 36:11.070 And I tried out a couple of things. 36:11.070 --> 36:13.860 One is, I got legs, I can walk. 36:13.860 --> 36:17.880 So I signed up for this thing in the UK, 36:17.880 --> 36:19.740 I'm not even sure what it's called in elsewhere, 36:19.740 --> 36:21.870 but basically there's this giant book, 36:21.870 --> 36:24.030 like a telephone directory that we used to have, 36:24.030 --> 36:25.590 like pre-internet days. 36:25.590 --> 36:27.960 It's called like, "The Yellow Pages," in the UK. 36:27.960 --> 36:29.850 And you can basically go door-to-door. 36:29.850 --> 36:32.883 lugging these like. two-kilogram books. 36:33.930 --> 36:36.000 and you get paid a pound, 36:36.000 --> 36:38.220 so like about $1.20, 36:38.220 --> 36:42.060 for every one of these books that you deliver. 36:42.060 --> 36:44.820 So the thing is that they're so heavy, 36:44.820 --> 36:47.580 they're like, I don't know, 36:47.580 --> 36:49.020 they're like two kilos each. 36:49.020 --> 36:51.210 So if you're manning 10 of them, 36:51.210 --> 36:52.323 and I was 13, 36:54.000 --> 36:55.920 that was pretty hard, 36:55.920 --> 36:57.660 and I got some pocket money, 36:57.660 --> 36:59.910 but I thought about iterating on that. 36:59.910 --> 37:02.430 So you know, coming back to startups, 37:02.430 --> 37:04.710 you gotta try something, you test it out, 37:04.710 --> 37:07.380 see if it works, see if people like it, 37:07.380 --> 37:09.540 see if it gets you to your goal, 37:09.540 --> 37:11.130 and if not, you iterate. 37:11.130 --> 37:13.053 So my iteration, 37:14.250 --> 37:16.890 basically ended up in me thinking about 37:16.890 --> 37:18.390 what else do I have? 37:18.390 --> 37:21.150 And maybe like manual labor 37:21.150 --> 37:22.653 isn't really my strong point? 37:23.580 --> 37:25.110 So I thought that well, you know, 37:25.110 --> 37:27.090 I'm like pretty good at maths, 37:27.090 --> 37:28.980 I'm pretty good at physics, 37:28.980 --> 37:31.680 and there's probably other kids 37:31.680 --> 37:33.660 who wanna learn math and physics. 37:33.660 --> 37:37.200 So I printed out these little flyers 37:37.200 --> 37:39.090 like from my little home printer. 37:39.090 --> 37:41.820 So like they were like this big each per ad, 37:41.820 --> 37:43.800 'cause I didn't wanna waste too much ink. 37:43.800 --> 37:46.140 And I cut it out of the page, 37:46.140 --> 37:49.590 and it's about like eight ads per page. 37:49.590 --> 37:51.180 And I went door-to-door, 37:51.180 --> 37:53.430 around sort of my neighborhood area, 37:53.430 --> 37:55.710 like an area that I thought was like, 37:55.710 --> 37:57.210 within walking distance, 37:57.210 --> 38:00.243 and I posted it to everybody in the mailbox, 38:01.830 --> 38:03.690 and then like some people actually called me up 38:03.690 --> 38:05.460 and then I became a tutor, 38:05.460 --> 38:07.710 although probably illegally, 38:07.710 --> 38:09.780 because I'm pretty sure you're not allowed 38:09.780 --> 38:12.480 to work and earn money at age 13, 38:12.480 --> 38:15.630 unless you're like supervised or something. 38:15.630 --> 38:19.950 But that was like my first entrepreneurial bent. 38:19.950 --> 38:21.660 So coming back to your question, 38:21.660 --> 38:23.790 what careers can you have at age 13? 38:23.790 --> 38:25.650 Well now that you have the internet, 38:25.650 --> 38:28.050 effectively, you could do anything, 38:28.050 --> 38:31.320 you could like probably sign up on Fiverr 38:31.320 --> 38:34.353 and start doing freelance gigs. 38:35.460 --> 38:37.650 I think when people sign up to these freelance gigs, 38:37.650 --> 38:41.220 they always wanna like charge what it's worth. 38:41.220 --> 38:43.350 And I would say, just don't do that. 38:43.350 --> 38:45.540 Don't like go overboard. 38:45.540 --> 38:49.140 Charge way, way below what you think it should cost. 38:49.140 --> 38:50.610 So you wanna build somebody a website, 38:50.610 --> 38:52.920 charge $5 for it, you know, 38:52.920 --> 38:57.920 and what you wanna do is like build up your reputation. 38:57.990 --> 39:01.050 So as you get more clients 39:01.050 --> 39:02.250 and if they like what you do, 39:02.250 --> 39:03.870 hopefully, you're doing a good job 39:03.870 --> 39:05.340 'cause you know you're my student, right? 39:05.340 --> 39:07.350 So you're gonna be pretty good, 39:07.350 --> 39:10.980 and when you give the project back to them, 39:10.980 --> 39:13.080 you're learning like skills, like communication, 39:13.080 --> 39:14.490 how to work with clients, 39:14.490 --> 39:16.567 what clients mean when they're saying like, 39:16.567 --> 39:18.960 "Oh, I would like that to look more classy." 39:18.960 --> 39:21.000 What does that actually mean to a web developer? 39:21.000 --> 39:22.800 Well, you're gonna work that out. 39:22.800 --> 39:25.590 So once you've got a good client, 39:25.590 --> 39:27.300 then you've got A, word of mouth, 39:27.300 --> 39:28.710 you've also got reviews, 39:28.710 --> 39:31.800 you've got a client who can be your referee, 39:31.800 --> 39:33.690 and you build up on that. 39:33.690 --> 39:36.240 So you take on more clients, 39:36.240 --> 39:37.650 maybe you've got too much work. 39:37.650 --> 39:41.220 So now you raise your prices, it's now $10, 39:41.220 --> 39:42.960 and then you've got like too much work again, 39:42.960 --> 39:44.790 you raise your price for $20, 39:44.790 --> 39:46.560 and that way eventually, you'll get to the point 39:46.560 --> 39:48.780 where you're making enough pocket money 39:48.780 --> 39:51.450 to buy sweets or whatever it is 39:51.450 --> 39:53.940 you know, you wanna achieve. 39:53.940 --> 39:56.970 Maybe you wanna like buy stocks at age 13, 39:56.970 --> 40:00.450 maybe you're gonna buy into Tesla, I don't know. 40:00.450 --> 40:03.393 But yeah, so that's my advice. 40:05.520 --> 40:09.760 Let's see if we got some more questions on YouTube. 40:12.060 --> 40:15.960 So let's see, 40:15.960 --> 40:18.363 what you guys are saying in here. 40:25.500 --> 40:27.690 Oh, this is a really good one. 40:27.690 --> 40:32.640 So this is a question from Dionysios, 40:32.640 --> 40:35.351 Dionysios, I think that's how you pronounce it. 40:35.351 --> 40:36.450 (Angela chuckling) 40:36.450 --> 40:39.277 And he asked, 40:39.277 --> 40:41.550 "Understanding syntax is not so difficult. 40:41.550 --> 40:43.620 Formulating syntax together with logic 40:43.620 --> 40:46.470 to build functional code is difficult. 40:46.470 --> 40:47.520 What are the best strategies 40:47.520 --> 40:50.910 to connect the dots to build real-world projects?" 40:50.910 --> 40:53.460 This is something that you guys have posted a lot, 40:53.460 --> 40:55.890 and it's something that we think is really important. 40:55.890 --> 40:57.900 Because one of the sort of feedback 40:57.900 --> 41:00.307 that we were always getting from students is, 41:00.307 --> 41:01.710 "Yeah, okay, so like, you know, 41:01.710 --> 41:03.360 I've completed this tutorial, 41:03.360 --> 41:05.520 I've completed that tutorial, 41:05.520 --> 41:08.850 but you know, after I'm done, 41:08.850 --> 41:11.640 I still don't know how to make my project. 41:11.640 --> 41:16.640 I still dunno like how to build something," right? 41:16.650 --> 41:19.170 So this was really like our thinking 41:19.170 --> 41:24.150 when we started building the 100 Days of Code project. 41:24.150 --> 41:27.720 I wanted to make a course, 41:27.720 --> 41:30.780 basically, which starts out with tutorials 41:30.780 --> 41:34.200 and a lot of heavy sort of guidance, 41:34.200 --> 41:36.900 but then to progress on, 41:36.900 --> 41:41.220 to be able to let you experience 41:41.220 --> 41:43.770 what it's like when, you know, 41:43.770 --> 41:45.570 the training wheels are off. 41:45.570 --> 41:48.240 So when I first learned how to ride a bicycle, 41:48.240 --> 41:49.650 you know, I was riding it, 41:49.650 --> 41:51.930 and I didn't really have one 41:51.930 --> 41:54.150 of those fancy bicycles with the training wheels. 41:54.150 --> 41:58.920 I just had my dad like holding the bicycle from behind. 41:58.920 --> 42:02.550 And you know, initially I was just riding, 42:02.550 --> 42:03.870 he was running behind, 42:03.870 --> 42:06.270 and then at some point, he kind of let go, 42:06.270 --> 42:07.710 and I didn't really notice, 42:07.710 --> 42:10.260 and I could just start cycling myself. 42:10.260 --> 42:11.490 But then when I turned around 42:11.490 --> 42:13.020 and I saw that there was nobody there, 42:13.020 --> 42:14.910 I immediately crashed, right? 42:14.910 --> 42:18.360 So yeah, I guess my track record 42:18.360 --> 42:20.070 with bicycles is not great, 42:20.070 --> 42:25.070 but so I guess the learning point there, is that, 42:26.070 --> 42:31.070 you know, you can't always be in tutorial land 42:32.160 --> 42:33.900 if you wanna become somebody 42:33.900 --> 42:37.080 who's not dependent on tutorials. 42:37.080 --> 42:40.477 So a lot of people have been asking me, 42:40.477 --> 42:44.160 "Hey, you know this course, 100 Days of Code, 42:44.160 --> 42:46.830 why is it that there's like less and less video 42:46.830 --> 42:48.870 towards the end? 42:48.870 --> 42:50.310 Is it because you haven't finished it? 42:50.310 --> 42:51.600 What's happening?" 42:51.600 --> 42:53.640 So the answer to that is no, 42:53.640 --> 42:54.810 it's not because I haven't finished it, 42:54.810 --> 42:57.990 it's because it's really carefully thought out, 42:57.990 --> 42:59.130 believe it or not. 42:59.130 --> 43:04.130 And the idea is to be that person 43:04.350 --> 43:07.560 holding the bicycle from behind 43:07.560 --> 43:10.390 and then to eventually let you go 43:11.400 --> 43:14.700 because I want you to be able to finish that course 43:14.700 --> 43:17.040 and to get a job, 43:17.040 --> 43:18.660 or to build your own startup, 43:18.660 --> 43:20.280 build your own project. 43:20.280 --> 43:23.370 But that requires quite a bit of struggle. 43:23.370 --> 43:27.390 And the struggle comes from building projects, right? 43:27.390 --> 43:28.800 But you know, when I say to people, 43:28.800 --> 43:30.360 the best way to learn to code 43:30.360 --> 43:31.860 after you finish a tutorial, 43:31.860 --> 43:33.720 is to build a project. 43:33.720 --> 43:34.553 Well they say, 43:34.553 --> 43:36.240 "I don't know which project do I build? 43:36.240 --> 43:37.320 And how do I build it? 43:37.320 --> 43:39.330 I don't know how to get there." 43:39.330 --> 43:41.610 So that's why we built this course 43:41.610 --> 43:44.430 to try and make it, 43:44.430 --> 43:46.710 so that initially, you have sort of more 43:46.710 --> 43:50.400 step-by-step, like video lessons, 43:50.400 --> 43:53.880 and then you have step-by-step text lessons 43:53.880 --> 43:57.000 with more dependence on the documentation, 43:57.000 --> 43:59.100 and on like the kind of real tools 43:59.100 --> 44:00.990 that a developer would use like Google 44:00.990 --> 44:01.890 and Stack Overflow. 44:01.890 --> 44:03.060 Like, you need to struggle, 44:03.060 --> 44:06.360 you need to find out the answers for yourself. 44:06.360 --> 44:07.950 But you know, there's walkthroughs, 44:07.950 --> 44:09.120 and there's guidance, 44:09.120 --> 44:11.910 and then eventually, to get you to the very end, 44:11.910 --> 44:14.670 where you are actually building your own projects, 44:14.670 --> 44:16.080 for your own portfolio, 44:16.080 --> 44:18.660 which contains 100% your own code, 44:18.660 --> 44:20.820 which you can, you know, copyright, 44:20.820 --> 44:22.500 you can sell, you can do whatever you want, 44:22.500 --> 44:23.970 because it's your own. 44:23.970 --> 44:26.310 And what we've done is just provided 44:26.310 --> 44:28.020 the project ideas for you, 44:28.020 --> 44:29.910 something that we think is really feasible 44:29.910 --> 44:31.230 that you can definitely do 44:31.230 --> 44:35.070 if you've completed the entire first 80 days. 44:35.070 --> 44:37.320 So that was what we tried to do. 44:37.320 --> 44:40.690 And you know, I think the best way 44:41.580 --> 44:46.580 to build real-world projects is to start small. 44:46.890 --> 44:49.980 So don't start off trying to build a car, 44:49.980 --> 44:52.200 build a skateboard instead. 44:52.200 --> 44:53.910 And then once you've built the skateboard, 44:53.910 --> 44:56.340 maybe add a handle to it, 44:56.340 --> 44:57.870 turn it into a scooter, 44:57.870 --> 44:59.430 and then maybe once you've done that, 44:59.430 --> 45:00.510 turn it into a motorcycle, 45:00.510 --> 45:01.740 and then turn it into a car. 45:01.740 --> 45:03.727 Don't just go out there and be like, 45:03.727 --> 45:06.270 "I wanna build Facebook plus Twitter, 45:06.270 --> 45:09.300 plus you know, whatever enterprise software, 45:09.300 --> 45:10.530 and I'm gonna do it, 45:10.530 --> 45:12.030 like after I complete this course." 45:12.030 --> 45:12.863 Like that's just, 45:12.863 --> 45:14.580 you're setting yourself up to fail. 45:14.580 --> 45:16.773 You have to start with something simple. 45:18.030 --> 45:20.850 Alright, so we're kind of running a bit over, 45:20.850 --> 45:22.440 I said we do 45 minutes, 45:22.440 --> 45:24.480 but we're kind of close to an hour now. 45:24.480 --> 45:28.410 So I'm just gonna glance at the YouTube chat 45:28.410 --> 45:32.583 and try to see what you guys are saying, like, live. 45:34.140 --> 45:35.361 Let's do some quick questions. 45:35.361 --> 45:37.028 "Swift UI or UIkit?" 45:38.190 --> 45:40.230 Swift UI is getting a lot better. 45:40.230 --> 45:44.400 But you know, when we did the Swift, 45:44.400 --> 45:46.470 the Objective-C to Swift conversion, 45:46.470 --> 45:48.240 it took like years still, 45:48.240 --> 45:50.220 like loads of apps are built with Objective-C. 45:50.220 --> 45:53.520 So Swift UI is not something that you can learn 45:53.520 --> 45:55.470 and get hired for right now. 45:55.470 --> 45:56.730 It's really fun, 45:56.730 --> 45:58.770 and I really enjoy playing with it, 45:58.770 --> 46:03.540 but I don't really think it's serious enough 46:03.540 --> 46:06.060 like for my needs at the moment. 46:06.060 --> 46:07.770 So we're probably gonna build 46:07.770 --> 46:10.050 in more tutorials to the existing course. 46:10.050 --> 46:11.490 So if you miss that, 46:11.490 --> 46:12.900 you don't have to buy a new course, 46:12.900 --> 46:15.633 your existing iOS 13 course will get updated, 46:17.040 --> 46:20.580 but it's gonna be probably more Swift UI, 46:20.580 --> 46:21.990 a little bit less UIkit, 46:21.990 --> 46:25.410 and then we're gonna keep tweaking that percentage 46:25.410 --> 46:27.390 until, you know, 46:27.390 --> 46:29.760 until like when Apple fully transitions. 46:29.760 --> 46:32.370 But I wanna do it slowly because right now, 46:32.370 --> 46:34.740 the kind of skills that's really important 46:34.740 --> 46:36.633 that's gonna get you hired is UIkit. 46:38.917 --> 46:41.133 "Can you make your iOS course 46:41.133 --> 46:43.617 like 100 Days challenge code?" 46:46.380 --> 46:48.300 I think we thought about making 46:48.300 --> 46:50.490 the 100 Days of Code challenge, 46:50.490 --> 46:53.790 we thought about like what's the perfect language for it, 46:53.790 --> 46:56.070 because Python is something that you can do 46:56.070 --> 46:57.390 like a lot of different things with, 46:57.390 --> 47:00.153 like web development or data science, 47:01.140 --> 47:03.750 or scripting, or automation. 47:03.750 --> 47:07.740 Swift is pretty much all about making apps, 47:07.740 --> 47:12.273 and it just doesn't really work that well with it. 47:13.620 --> 47:14.820 I think it works better 47:14.820 --> 47:16.830 when you can actually build real projects 47:16.830 --> 47:19.500 like big projects that you can show off 47:19.500 --> 47:20.700 and you can use. 47:20.700 --> 47:23.130 I think it's just a better format. 47:23.130 --> 47:26.850 Like, none of the things that we do is random. 47:26.850 --> 47:29.523 Like, I spend a lot of time thinking about it. 47:31.830 --> 47:34.440 Okay, what kind of games do you prefer? 47:34.440 --> 47:36.873 Computer/Android? 47:38.520 --> 47:41.490 Oh man, I recently got into this steam game 47:41.490 --> 47:45.030 called "Salt and Sanctuary." 47:45.030 --> 47:47.400 It's a two-player couch co-op, 47:47.400 --> 47:48.570 and it's just so good. 47:48.570 --> 47:51.570 It's like, it's got like the RPG elements, 47:51.570 --> 47:54.270 it's got platforming, 47:54.270 --> 47:55.920 it's got some combat, 47:55.920 --> 47:58.260 and it's got like just a lot of elements. 47:58.260 --> 47:59.640 It's like really well-rounded, 47:59.640 --> 48:01.200 and I discovered that it was actually made 48:01.200 --> 48:03.660 by like one guy, essentially. 48:03.660 --> 48:06.390 He built the entire video game, which is crazy. 48:06.390 --> 48:07.770 It's a really good one. 48:07.770 --> 48:09.963 And on Android, on phone, 48:11.220 --> 48:13.260 yeah, "Among Us." (chuckles) 48:13.260 --> 48:14.640 It's a bit of a guilty pleasure, 48:14.640 --> 48:17.313 if you haven't played it, don't start. 48:19.796 --> 48:23.707 Okay.
