I’d think about how nice it would be to be a freelancer and not have a boss. I’d daydream about traveling the world, working whatever hours I pleased, and making hoards of money from lucrative contracts.

Then I’d snap to reality as I realized I had no idea how to go about making something like this happen. I mean, how do you actually become a freelancer and work for yourself?

This is the dream of most software developers. Most of them fantasize about working for themselves, just to start freelancing and discover that things do not work 100% like that.

The first question you should ask yourself is if you are sure whether or not you really want to embark upon this path.

Don’t get me wrong; I want you to become an entrepreneur of sorts.

I want you to eventually stop working for “the man” and find your path to freedom.

But freedom is not for everyone.

The reality is that it is going to take a large amount of work to even get to the point where the dream is a reality.

People, especially new programmers, get totally lost on the amount of information out there. They read a lot of different opinions about each and every programming language which makes it impossible for them to choose a programming language to learn.

Especially nowadays, the number of programming languages has grown exponentially. There are a lot of different programming languages and variations of them. Sometimes, it’s even impossible to measure the real application and “real-world” use of them. Besides that, it’s difficult to separate the good from the bad information.

In this video, I give you my best advice on the answer to this question and give you some other tips on technologies and programming languages.

I know this topic divides opinions on the internet. Some programmers might say that learning algorithms will definitely make your career stand out from the crowd, while others might say that you should not invest your time in learning algorithms because it is useless.

So, where do I stand here? I actually think that learning algorithms can definitely benefit your career and this was one of the major game changes for me in my career.

Wanna know more about learning algorithms and if you should do it? Watch this video and find out!

Some developers believe that there is an age to become a developer. being in this environment has taught me a lot of different things.

I receive a lot of different questions about becoming a programmer after 30 (or even more, like 50). Is it viable?

Of course, fear is one of the most common things that hold programmers back when it comes to trying new things, especially becoming a programmer at an old age. What is the difference between becoming a programmer at an early age and becoming a programmer after 30?

So, in this video, I’ll explain more about the difference between front-end and back-end development. What are the main differences between these two fields of software development?

The Front-End Development is the part that users interact with. Everything that you see when you’re navigating around the Internet, from fonts and colors to dropdown menus and sliders, is a combo of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript being controlled by your computer’s browser.

The Back-End consists of a server, an application, and a database. A back-end developer builds and maintains the technology that powers those components which, together, enable the user-facing side of the website to even exist in the first place.

So, wanna know more about the difference between those 2? Watch this video and find out!

“Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely distributed.

Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn’t catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source-level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on. The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python’s introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.”

I’ve programmed in Python before and I must say I love Python!

So, this is why I decided to team up with him to talk about how programmers can find inspiration and motivation to keep going with their programming careers.

I often see a lot of developers struggling to find motivation and to keep going doing things that they want to do and achieving their dreams that which really breaks my heart.

This is why Evan is definitely a good name to talk about this and I thank him for sharing all his experience.

This is exactly what happened to a guy that emailed me. He is a programmer and he has been pretty successful on his journey. However, he’s been realizing that he is lacking the motivation he thought he would get out of all of these realizations.

Where does motivation come from?

How can he regain his motivation and keep being a programmer?
