00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,340
In this lesson, we are going to talk about the myth of prerequisites for learning a program like this.

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:21,190
Remember that everything we talk about, uh, you can find more detailed information about the topics,

3
00:00:21,370 --> 00:00:24,700
uh, in the attached materials for the blog.

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:32,080
So this is the main, important, uh, the main message we want to share with you in this blog.

5
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:41,800
This program is absolutely within your reach, and anyone can learn it no matter where you are coming

6
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:42,280
from.

7
00:00:43,340 --> 00:00:46,100
So when people a.

8
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,500
Look at programs like this one, especially the second part, which is building Elm applications.

9
00:00:54,500 --> 00:01:04,519
They if if they don't have previous technical experience or background, usually they get scared and

10
00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:07,250
they think that this is not a program for them.

11
00:01:07,790 --> 00:01:15,620
They think I need to have previous studies of computer science or programming or data science or machine

12
00:01:15,620 --> 00:01:16,220
learning.

13
00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:19,040
This is not the case.

14
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,520
The reality is that anyone can learn how to build an LM application.

15
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:30,020
If you can drive a car, you can build an LM application.

16
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:31,400
I'm telling you for sure.

17
00:01:31,820 --> 00:01:36,350
The only thing you need is to study and practice.

18
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:45,000
And this is this is something I mean, you need to study and you need to practice, but if you have

19
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,370
the will to do that.

20
00:01:48,580 --> 00:01:50,290
The rest is very easy.

21
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,110
You only need to study and to practice.

22
00:01:53,110 --> 00:01:58,150
If you have previous experience, you will need to study and to practice less.

23
00:01:58,150 --> 00:02:02,410
If you have no experience, you will have to study and practice a little bit more.

24
00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:03,580
But that's it.

25
00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:05,710
This is not rocket science.

26
00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:11,350
This is not something that is out of the reach of every normal person.

27
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:15,430
This is something that anyone can learn.

28
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:26,380
So remember my, uh, my experience with a programming started in a bootcamp in San Francisco, and

29
00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:31,810
there I was learning how to program with people from every kind of background.

30
00:02:31,810 --> 00:02:34,600
There were people from medical schools.

31
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:42,100
There were people from sales departments, there were people from legal, uh, offices, etc..

32
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:50,770
So this program and especially this format, the bootcamp is especially prepared for you if you don't

33
00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:52,570
have previous experience.

34
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:58,720
If you do much better, you will be faster and it will be easier for you.

35
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:08,320
But if you don't have any experience, you absolutely are able to, uh, learn how to build an LM application.

36
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:16,660
We have prepared in a very careful way, all these materials for you to learn step by step in a friendly

37
00:03:16,660 --> 00:03:19,510
reading and in a friendly manner, manner.

38
00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:24,760
And we have been thinking about the different ways people use to learn.

39
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:31,540
Some people are more comfortable with videos, some others are more comfortable with text, some others

40
00:03:31,540 --> 00:03:35,560
are more comfortable with exercises, exercises, etc..

41
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Right?

42
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:44,770
So we have prepared all that for you and the only thing you need is to study and especially practice.

43
00:03:44,770 --> 00:03:51,280
Remember what I told you at the beginning of this program in the second part, practice, practice,

44
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,040
practice is the key, eh?

45
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:03,310
If you come from a classical way of studying and you are just like myself when I was at the university

46
00:04:03,310 --> 00:04:07,990
is just books, you know, and typical, uh, traditional study.

47
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:15,160
You will have to change a little bit your approach, because this is not the second part, is not about

48
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
study, it's more about practice.

49
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:26,950
And, uh, think of a programming like riding a bicycle or riding a car or, you know, uh, driving

50
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:29,170
an airplane or whatever.

51
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,810
You cannot do it in theory.

52
00:04:31,810 --> 00:04:33,370
You need to practice.

53
00:04:33,370 --> 00:04:39,250
So the more you practice, the more you learn, and the more capable you are, and the more you reach,

54
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:44,710
the more you investigate, the more you experiment, etc. that's the way of doing things.

55
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:46,990
So it can be.

56
00:04:46,990 --> 00:04:53,890
It can fool you a the, the, the length of this program because you say, okay, I just finished,

57
00:04:53,890 --> 00:04:57,640
you know, this number of videos, I'm ready for the next step.

58
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,290
Well in the second part is not just the videos, it's not just reading.

59
00:05:02,290 --> 00:05:10,810
The material is mostly practice until you don't feel confident with your level of practice.

60
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:15,940
Uh, you will probably have to keep, uh, practicing.

61
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:23,590
Okay, so you are the only one who is going to know when you are comfortable with the subject or still

62
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,390
need to practice more.

63
00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:26,080
Okay.

64
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:33,580
But apart from that, apart from the necessity to study and practice, anyone can learn how to build

65
00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:35,020
an LM application.

66
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:39,010
If you can drive a car, you can build an application for sure.

67
00:05:39,810 --> 00:05:46,740
So don't get fooled by the myth of prerequisites for learning.

68
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:54,000
In the next lesson, we are going to talk about the most frequent types of students we have in our programs,

69
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,200
in our in-person programs, and also in our online programs.

70
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:07,830
And we do this just for you to understand that you are not strange in any way, because we have every

71
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:14,730
kind of students in our programs from the business side of the company, from the tech side of the company,

72
00:06:14,730 --> 00:06:20,910
classic engineers, people coming from data science, people coming from machine learning, people coming

73
00:06:20,910 --> 00:06:27,660
from programming, people coming from from medical studies, you know, legal studies.

74
00:06:27,990 --> 00:06:29,580
So don't worry at all.

75
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:31,620
This program is for you.

76
00:06:31,620 --> 00:06:33,180
You can do it.
