00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:05.130
One advantage to taking an online
course is direct access to an instructor

00:00:05.130 --> 00:00:10.349
but in many ways this can also be a
disadvantage because it doesn't help you

00:00:10.349 --> 00:00:15.139
strengthen the skills required to truly
excel in the professional environment

00:00:15.139 --> 00:00:22.050
the ability to problem-solve is what
makes a great developer if you get stuck

00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:27.119
as we all do from time to time I
recommend you try the following start by

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:31.890
searching online for your issue or
question the chances are that your

00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:36.420
question has already been answered in
the official documentation or that

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:41.340
somebody somewhere has had the same
problem and posted the solution online

00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:46.800
if you can't find anything online then
ask a question on Stack Overflow you'll

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:50.100
probably find that by the time you
finish writing the question you've

00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:54.220
already solved the problem on your own
this is because the act of writing

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:59.219
something down can help you think about
it in a different way if you're still

00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:03.120
stuck then take a look at the Q&A and
see if somebody else has had the same

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:09.810
problem exhaust all possibilities before
asking a new question in the Q&A this is

00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:14.760
not designed to dissuade you from asking
questions but more is designed to help

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.020
you practice the skills of solving
problems on your own so you can get the

00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:24.090
most benefit from this course that's it
from the introduction now let's dive

00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:26.840
into the course
