Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Artificial Intelligence is definitely the next big thing. However, programmers still find it hard to understand what A.I. really is and how they can use that bring their programming career to the next level. AI is a broad topic ranging from simple calculators to self-steering technology to something that might radically change the future. The primary goals of AI include deduction and reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing (NLP), learning, perception, and the ability to manipulate and move objects. Long-term goals of AI research include achieving Creativity, Social Intelligence, and General (human level) Intelligence. AI has heavily influenced different sectors that we may not recognize. Ray Kurzweil says “Many thousands of AI applications are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of every industry.” John McCarthy, one of the founders of AI, once said that “as soon as it works, no one calls it AI anymore.” (Source: https://www.hackerearth.com/blog/developers/artificial-intelligence-101-how-to-get-started/) But...

768 This SOFT SKILL Will Improve Your DEVELOPER CAREER! - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Being humans (unlike the robots some people think we are), programmers are emotional creatures too. Today I would like to discuss with you why you should learn how to control your emotions as a programmer, and some skills you must develop to improve this master skill. First, jobs and tasks that are given to us as programmers (or ones we assign ourselves) often involve high levels of logical thinking and reasoning. Most programming is a purely logical task. We do not want emotions to come and take us off the logical path. When emotions come into play, it can take a decision that should be 100 percent logical and make it part emotional and part logical. In some cases it can be even worse: it can take a fully logical decision and make it fully emotional. Take a look at this example: Bob, the senior engineer, is in charge of building out the payment system for Antonio Inc.’s backend. His part of the application is due at the end of the week, but he just heard that his girlfriend of three years cheated on him. This sends him into an emotional downward spiral. This causes him to lose focus at work, make poor engineering decisions (like not making a fully secure payment system), and makes him procrastinate, finishing his piece of the backend. If he were purely logical in his decision-making, he would have been able to focus with no problem, and Bob would be able to make the proper sustainable engineering decisions necessary to support the application over the long term. However, if he kept making poor decisions, this could potentially affect his future at the company. This is a situation in which emotional control is crucial for success in your career as a programmer. #softskills #developer #programming If you can learn to take control of your emotions and not let your emotions control you, then you can spend way more time producing and being a happier programmer and person overall.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt A career as a freelancer is the reality for 35% of the United States’ workforce. It is designed for people that desire more freedom, or feel working for an employer limits their ability to be creative. Freelancing is a viable option for programmers interested in earning additional income while employed or starting a full-time business in the future. Both are viable options with a differentiation between active income (working) and passive income (not working to earn income). However, working as a freelance developer might arouse some questions. What programming language should you learn in order to become a successful freelance programmer? Should you learn a specific programming anguage in 2020 to succeed? In the freelance world, there are generalists and specialists. A generalist programmer typically takes on all programming assignments in a variety of industries. The downside to this is that you may be seen as a freelancer that is new to the subject, which results in a low or beginner rate. On the contrary, a specialist is a computer programmer that has worked in a specific industry—like real estate—for five or more years, or one who is knowledgeable of a specific skill set or programming language, like PHP. The advantage of being a specialist is your rates can be set higher because of the value you can offer the client.

764 How To Get Into Flow State 🧠💡 | Become A Productive BEAST! - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt https://simpleprogrammer.com/yt/flowstate How To Get Into Flow State 🧠💡 | Become A Productive BEAST! Flow state is something super important for programmers and, those who have entered this state know what I'm talking about. In flow, every action, every decision, arises seamlessly from the last. In this state, we are so focused on the task at hand that all else falls away. Action and awareness merge. Our sense of self vanishes. Our sense of time distorts. And, as the research demonstrates, every aspect of performance goes through the roof. Today I'm going to partner up with Rian Doris, part of the Flow Research Collective. The Flow Research Collective is a research and training organization. Their mission is to understand the science behind ultimate human performance and use it to train up individuals and organizations. By decoding the neurobiology of flow—understanding what is going on in the brain and in the body when humans are performing at their best—they can open up a new possibility space for human potential. (Source: https://www.flowresearchcollective.com) If you're interested in getting into the flow state, especially if you're a developer and want to get the best out of your code, definitely watch this video and the FREE video training Rian has stored for you.

761 The FASTEST WAY To Become A Highly Paid BLOCKCHAIN Developer - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Blockchain is one of the hottest skills in tech right now. Don’t believe me? Hired.com’s 2019 State of Software Engineers report that shows that global demand for Blockchain developers is “through the roof”, growing at a rapid rate of 517% year over year! Blockchain developers earn $155,000 per year on average in cities like San Francisco, and you’re more likely to earn higher pay in blockchain compared to other disciplines. There’s even more good news: the blockchain workforce is highly distributed. That means you don’t necessarily have to live an a major tech hub like San Francisco to work for a blockchain business that operates in San Francisco. You can work remotely, which allows you command a “big city salary” while living in an area with a lower cost of living. If you’re willing to work as a freelancer, you open up your earning potential even more. Many skilled developers can charge high hourly rates. You might ask, “why are blockchain developers so highly paid?” It’s a classic supply-and-demand problem. There simply aren’t enough people with blockchain skills to satisfy the demand. Because the supply is small, and the demand is high, the price of compensation goes up. How do you become a highly paid blockchain developer, then? Thats exactly what me and Gregory, from Dapp University, will be talking about

756 Is PYTHON The FUTURE Of Programming? (With Rafeh Qazi From Clever Programmer) - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt "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." (Source: https://www.python.org/doc/essays/blurb/) Nowadays, there is no doubt that Python is one of the most popular and demanding languages and, learning Python can definitely have an impact on your career. And who better than Rafeh Qazi, the Clever Programmer, to teach you everything you need to know about Python? In today's video, we will discuss more about Python and if it really is the programming language of the future.

753 Programmers Should DEFINITELY Exercise (If You Don't Want To... DIE?) - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt As programmers, it’s our job to be at our computer for extended periods of time. And, if you’re anything like us, the longer you sit there, the worse your posture becomes. Without even realizing it, you begin to extend your neck, bringing your face closer to the screen. You hunch your shoulders forward and slump in your chair. But, not only that... There are a LOT of related health problems that could also come from sitting too much in front of a computer. When we sit down certain parts of our bodies shut down. Our muscular and cellular systems were put to sleep causing our chances of things like diabetes to increase. Here is a list of the things that happen: ● Blood starts to flow slower, your muscles start to burn less fat ● The pancrease releases more insulin, increasing your risk of diabetes upwards of 90% (if you sit more than 8 hours a day) ● The increase insulin production from sitting is also linked to an increase in colon and breast cancers ● It slows the rate at which you digest your food ● Your brain gets less oxygen slowing down cognitive performance ● You get strained neck and shoulder problems ● Back problems from extra pressure on your spine ● You use your abs and legs less so you are getting weaker muscles ● Hips and glutes become tight putting you at risk of more injury ● Lack of use of the bones sets up for having weaker bones Now that was a lot but if we could sum it all up in a few maim things it would be: ● It weakens your muscles and bones ● It increases your chances for deadly cancers and diabetes ● It reduces your ability to think straight and process issues as well This is when exercising comes into play, when it comes to improving your overall health as a programmer. In today's video we will talk about the dangers of sitting down too much and the exercises you can make in order to overcome the dangers that come with it.

752 Why I Dropped Out Of College As A Programmer (And Made Millions) - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt When I first started out my career as a software developer, I didn’t have a degree. I took my first real job when I was on summer break from my first year of college. By the time the summer was up and it was time to enroll back in school, I found that the salary I was making from that summer job was about what I had expected to make when I graduated college—only I didn’t have any debt at this point—so, I dropped out and kept the job. But, did I make the right choice? Do you really need a university degree to be a computer programmer? If you don’t have a degree, you are probably more inclined to believe that degrees are worthless and completely unnecessary—even though you may secretly wish you had one. So, whatever side you fall on, I am going to ask you to momentarily suspend your beliefs—well, biases really—and consider that both views are not exactly correct, that there is a middle-ground somewhere in between the two viewpoints where a degree isn’t necessarily worthless and it isn’t necessarily valuable either. You see, the issue is not really whether or not a particular degree has any value. The degree itself represents nothing but a cost paid and time committed. A degree can be acquired by many different methods, none of which guarantee any real learning has taken place. If you’ve ever taken a college course, you know that it is more than possible to pass that course without actually learning much at all. In today's video, I'm going to talk about why I dropeed out of my computer science major and if you should do the same, as a software developer.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Does GitHub matter if you're a developer in job-hunting mode? Will GitHub help you when it comes to the job searching process? More and more often, recruiters are demanding more from developers when it comes to the hiring process. After all, they need to know if the person they are hiring really knows how to code. One of the questions that often comes to developers, as a relatively new practice, is "Can we see your GitHub?". What better way to share code you've written, or demonstrate your knowledge and expertise in the field? Sure, recruiters are still going to vet you in person using questions and tests, but if they can check out your code or see where your technical knowledge is at before you even walk in our door, you're going to be miles ahead of the competition. Github could be really known, today, as a portfolio for code. However, it does NOT replace your resume. In today's video, we're going to discuss whether Github is a good fit for you as a developer when it comes to getting a job, how YOU can implement it all so that you get the MOST out of your job searching process.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt I got a question today about my billing rate, so whether it’s real or not and I found a few questions like this. I just want to say upfront that when I say something or do something or do something like if I post on my blog post or if it’s on a marketing message or an email or something, it’s generally true. When I first started out I think I was charging like $30 or $40 an hour and to me that was really, really good. I had gotten this one contract where I was charging $100 an hour and I said, “Wow, this is crazy how—I can’t believe someone would pay me $100 an hour.” Then I heard of people that were charging more than that like $200 an hour. As I started marketing myself and building up the reputation in the industry I started raising my rates and I got to the point of charging $300 an hour and the first time I threw that out to a client and they didn’t even blink. They didn’t try to negotiate me down. They just signed the check. It took some time to get to there and I can understand the scepticism about it, but honestly, and I’ll tell you this right now, just this last couple of weeks was the first start time I started turning down people at $300 an hour because it’s not worth it. While it might seem like something you won't EVER be able to accomplish, this is way way more possible than you can imagine. In today's video I'm going to share some tips on how you can bill $300/hour as a freelance software developer and how you can do it too.

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Recently I came across a Quora question that was asking "I'm A Programmer and I wanna quit, what should I do?".

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt You're going for your next coding interview for a node.js job. Then, you should expect lots of different questions regarding node.js. What do you do then? Why don't so many developers still don't prepare for questions about programming language and stuff? Node.js framework is actually not a framework or a library, but a runtime environment, based on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. The technology was first introduced back in 2009 by Ryan Dahl at the annual European JSConf and was immediately recognized as “the most exciting single piece of software in the current JavaScript universe”. However, it wasn’t until recently that a wide adoption of server-side JavaScript with Node.js started. The interest in this technology peaked in 2014, as per Google Trends, and remains high. (Source: https://www.altexsoft.com/blog/engineering/the-good-and-the-bad-of-node-js-web-app-development/) In this case, you definitely should be prepared to answer questions like what are the pros & cons of node.js, what is node.js, and more. Answers should look like this: "Using Node.js for backend, you automatically get all the pros of full stack JavaScript development, such as: better efficiency and overall developer productivity code sharing and reuse speed and performance easy knowledge sharing within a team huge number of free tools" In today's video we'll go through some Q&A about node.js and how you can nail your next coding interview applying for a node.js position.
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube ChannelSUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt If you work for some company writing code, you've probably dealt with code reviewers. These code reviewers aim to find flaws in your code, usually with the objective of improving and making the overall system works better. However, this is not always what happens. Sometimes, these code reviewers are complete idiots and they tell you nothing that matters. They don't make efforts to provide decent feedback and, end up being complete bastards. So, what should you do in these situations? I recently got a question from a subscriber and he asked me the following question: "I recently started with programming for Front-end development and working on my first project started 2 months back. A Code review was done last week and the feedback which i have got have 18 comments. For half of them I consider myself responsible as those comments are about formatting things and some redundant code, but latter half of them are just because of exiting logic which somebody else worked for same project and I have applied same to new functionality I am adding to the application. And comments are slightly rude like strict commanding statements, expressing aggression about how long it took for him(code reviewer) to understand the code. Could you help me how should I respond to this as this is first time for me and I really don't have any idea that would I be able to fix them all making sure code doesn't break down." How should you handle passive-aggressive or even aggressive code review comments? Watch this video and find out.

Does it sound like something that most people don't talk about? I bet it does. But this is definitely the reality. I often see this with newbie and experienced developers. They try to learn all the possible outcomes of coding, learn to program in a hundred different languages... Only to start feeling overwhelmed. And that's when they still find coding to be absolutely difficult. But why that happens? Because they absolutely have no idea how to solve problems. And this is why, building an entire application might be a long distance dream for most software developers. I've been there too. When most programmers are given a programming problem in an interview, they make several key mistakes. The most severe of those is the improper allocation of time. You have heard the saying “measure twice and cut once,” then you are probably familiar with the idea of spending upfront time to make sure something is done right, rather than diving right in. It is astounding how many developers can write and maintain large enterprise systems dealing with all kinds of complex logic, database access, etc and cannot for the life of them solve a moderately difficult programming problem given in an interview in less than 30 minutes. It is also astounding how many developers who can not write even a single line of code, can also fail at same problem, in exactly the same way. Based on those two statements, your first assumption might be that asking someone to solve a programming problem as part of an interview would be a bad idea, because it isn’t really telling you if they are good and just crumble when asked to do something like this on the spot, or if they can’t program at all. So get to it! Start learning how to solve programming problems. Reverse strings, sort linked lists, help grandma pick the highest yielding grandsons and a granddaughters to send Christmas cards to!

738 How To Get A Programming Job By Bypassing HR - Simple Programmer Podcast
You are looking for a job but you do not know anyone. You see all of these developers getting their programming jobs before you, and you simply start to ask yourself: How come that they get these programming jobs and I'm able to get none? So you are looking for a new programming job, where do you go first? Indeed? Monster? Hacker News? You sent all of these programming resumes but you're able to get no responses back. What do you do? This happened to me. I sent all of those resumes but I was able to get NO RESPONSES back. This is when I decided to go that extra mile. To finally bypass HR. And that's how I got my programming job. I reached out to the CEO, hiring managers, CTO of a lot of companies and sent them this email: "I saw your post on Hacker News Who’s Hiring June 2016. I read up on the company and I was really excited at the fact that you guys are trying to change the fashion industry by trying to offer high quality clothing to people all around the world at a cheaper price. I was wondering if you could talk to me more about your time there and why you love it? Here is a link to a project I made for you. I did not know python or react, but I wanted to learn because I love to continuously learn and improve my skill set. I hosted it on AWS also using Ec2 instance and cloudfront. Also, are you hiring for junior full stack engineers? Best, Antonio" In this video, I'll teach you how you can do the same so that you can finally land your programming job.

724 What Programming Language Should I Learn First? (+ Top Languages For 2019) - Simple Programmer Podcast
Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube Channel SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt One of the questions I see aspiring (and even experienced) developers asking is which programming language they should learn. Is there even a best first programming language to learn? #programming #programminglanguage #learnprogramming For some aspiring developers, this question ends up being a stumbling block they never get over. Some people even quit programming because they can't find out which language to start with, get demotivated and simply give up. I’ve coached plenty of developers who were always second-guessing themselves or changing their minds, jumping from programming language to programming language, always worrying about making the wrong decision. They stress over the question, “What programming should I learn?” If you’ve stressed over this, then this video is for you. What language you learn doesn’t actually matter nearly as much as you might think it does. There are several reasons I make this statement, but one of the main ones is because so many programming languages, at their core, are very similar. What you really need to understand is how to get big problems, learn how to interpret them and translate it into actual lines of code. In today's video, I'm going to teach you how to pick a new programming language to learn and even give you my two best shots at which programming language should you learn if you're just starting out.

But this is exactly what you need to overcome as a developer. In today's video, I'm going to give you a nice dose of motivation you might need in order to keep going with your programming learning curve and don't give up.

You could be a recent graduate, an aspiring developer, you could've just finished a coding bootcamp or you're aiming for a career change... Chances are you've heard this a lot: "All of these job postings say 5+ years of experience is required, but I’ve been studying this whole time…how am I supposed to have years of experience?”. This is something that lots of newbies and aspiring software developers face. And that is definitely not an easy thing to handle, especially if you want to go through the traditional route. Thankfully there are alternative routes you can use to get around this lack of experience when starting your career. Think about that: You don't have job experience yet but you need to show your employers that you can write code in order to get the coding job you want. But... How do you do that?

Simple Programmer is now BACK with a brand new YouTube Channel SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://simpleprogrammer.com/subscribespyt Douglas Hirish - Overcome Programmer Impostor Syndrome: https://simpleprogrammer.com/doug-impostor The impostor syndrome is definitely something that takes on lots of programmers and this is big. They start to question themselves about their worthiness and if they are really able to take on bigger projects. How do you know you're ready? A lot of developers sink in fear when it comes to improving themselves and getting bigger projects. In the field of Software Development, there is always much more to learn. We cannot possibly be an expert in every area, and we need to make difficult decisions about where to focus our efforts. So, honestly evaluating our skills is an important first step. But it is not as easy as you might think. During job interviews, employers will often ask what your strengths and weaknesses are. This information can be very useful for your potential employer, but it is even more useful for yourself. Arriving at honest answers to these questions can help shape your career in the way that you want. An important prerequisite to making strong improvements in any area is understanding what the problem areas are and why improvement is needed. In this video, I'll talk to Douglas Irish, about how you can overcome your Impostor Syndrome as a developer. 📖 THE COMPLETE SOFTWARE DEVELOPER'S CAREER GUIDE 📖 Get #1 bestselling book, The Complete Software Developer's Career Guide https://simpleprogrammer.com/careerguide 🛑 SUBSCRIBE! 🛑 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRxWW_Ncs308nW4An23Yeig?sub_confirmation=1 💲 CREATE A BLOG TO BOOST YOUR CAREER - FREE COURSE 💲 Take this free course and learn how to make more money, improve your career and even make some side income. https://simpleprogrammer.com/lp/create-your-blog-1/ 📚 ARE YOU MAKING ONE OF THESE LEARNING MISTAKES? 📚 Most software developers are learning the wrong way! https://simpleprogrammer.com/lp/5-learning-mistakes-1/ 💲 7 REASONS YOU ARE UNDERPAID AS A SW DEVELOPER 💲 Find out what they are... https://simpleprogrammer.com/lp/7-reasons-youre-underpaid-software-developer/ 🤴 EXCLUSIVE SIMPLE PROGRAMMER MEMBER COMMUNITY 🤴 Join a supportive, motivated community of developers that will keep you energized and making progress toward your goals https://simpleprogrammer.com/store/products/membership/ 📚 BOOKS AND RESOURCES I RECOMMEND 📚 https://simpleprogrammer.com/resources/ 💲 HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF AS A SOFTWARE DEVELOPER 💲 Learn to build a personal brand, get a higher salary, become a respected name in the industry. https://simpleprogrammer.com/store/products/how-to-market-yourself/ 🏫 TEN STEPS TO LEARN ANYTHING QUICKLY 🏫 Learn how to learn. https://simpleprogrammer.com/store/products/learn-anything-quickly/ 👕 TRUST THE PROCESS SIMPLE PROGRAMMER SHIRT 👕 https://simpleprogrammer.com/store/products/trust-the-process-t-shirt/ 🔎 LINKS YOU MIGHT LIKE 🔎 Simple Programmer Website: http://simpleprogrammer.com/ Soft Skills Book: http://simpleprogrammer.com/softskills 🎬 SOCIAL MEDIA 🎬 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SimpleProgrammer Twitter: https://twitter.com/simpleprogrammr IG: https://www.instagram.com/simpleprogrammer/

► The Technical Skills You NEED To Have As A DEVELOPER! ◄ Have you ever questioned yourself what would be the technical skills you NEED to have as a developer?

It encompasses concepts, principles, theories, techniques and tools that can be used for developing high-quality professional software. First introduced at the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference in Garmisch, Germany, software engineering emphasizes a systematic, disciplined approach to software development and evolution and typically applies to the construction of large software systems (or products) in which teams of numerous software engineers are involved."

674 What Can You Do To Survive A Recession As A Developer? - Simple Programmer Podcast
► What Can You Do To Survive A Recession As A Developer? ◄ An Economic recession is a period of general economic decline and is typically accompanied by a drop in the stock market, an increase in unemployment, and a decline in the housing market. Generally, a recession is less severe than a depression. The blame for a recession generally falls on the federal leadership, often either the president himself, the head of the Federal Reserve, or the entire administration. (Source: http://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-economic-recession-definition-causes-effects.html) Economic recessions tend to take people into fearful states. People get laid off, lose their jobs and, most of the time, end up in a big squeeze situation. As a developer, you're not immune to this. You can still face the effects of cyclic economic recessions.

669 Blockchains: Good Investment? - Simple Programmer Podcast
► Blockchains: Good Investment? ◄ A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. Blockchains are gaining visibility when it comes to investment, and it has been raising some questions regarding if it is a good type of investment or not. Blockchain technology has been heating up in the past several months, thanks in large part to the surge in Bitcoin's price since early May.

665 Online Coding Interviews: How Not To Fail? - Simple Programmer Podcast
► Online Coding Interviews: How Not To Fail? ◄ Nothing can be more terrifying for a software developer than an interview—especially if it is a coding interview on a whiteboard. Though, with the right preparation and mindset, an interview can actually be something you look forward to as a chance to show your stuff and exhibit your best skills. I know the above statement may seem difficult to believe, especially if you’ve had not-so-great interview experiences in the past, but I’ve also had some pretty horrible interviews in my career as a software developer, and I’ve learned from those experiences. This is a new kind of interview that has only really started to appear in earnest in the last few years, but I believe we’ll see more and more interviews conducted in this fashion. This kind of interview is much like a phone pre-screen, but instead of taking place over the phone, it will take place over a Skype call, or another video chat equivalent, where you will be asked to solve some programming problems or even do pair programming with an interviewer so they can quickly assess your talent remotely. How to make sure you'll succeed in an online coding interview? Is this even possible? DEFINITELY! What most developers don't take into account is that online coding interviews are not something impossible. You should be ready to do what your interviews wants from you.

639 How To Become A Freelancer Software Developer? - Simple Programmer Podcast
► How To Become A Freelancer Software Developer? ◄ When I was working a regular 9-to-5 job, I’d often fantasize about starting my own business––working for myself. 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 in 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.

► Will You Lose Your Job To AI? ◄ "Big layoffs in India's IT sector: Techies protest sacking by Cognizant, seek government intervention" India's software companies like Wipro and Infosys are in the process of laying off employees on a massive scale, the Times of India reported. The move has come after the growth in India's 150-billion dollar IT industry has slowed down more than anticipated. Earlier in April, country's apex trade body ASSOCHAM had warned about industry's growth prospect and said: "Aggravated by rising rupee leading to lower realizations for software exports, the Indian IT firms may be forced to displace work force. In that case, the chances of layoffs are real." Barely a week after this warning, India's third largest software services firm Wipro fired hundreds of employees as part of its annual "performance appraisal". Wipro laid off around 600 employees, while many predicted that number to go as high as 2,000.

541 Kotlin: The Future Of Android Development? - Simple Porgrammer Podcast
Kotlin: The Future Of Android Development? Have you ever heard of Kotlin? Kotling has been picked as the official programming language for Android development. "We believe this is a great step for Kotlin, and fantastic news for Android developers as well as the rest of our community. We’re thrilled with the opportunities this opens up. For Android developers, Kotlin support is a chance to use a modern and powerful language, helping solve common headaches such as runtime exceptions and source code verbosity. Kotlin is easy to get started with and can be gradually introduced into existing projects, which means that your existing skills and technology investments are preserved. Starting now, Android Studio 3.0 ships with Kotlin out of the box, meaning Android developers no longer need to install any extras or worry about compatibility. It also means that moving forward, you can rest assured that both JetBrains and Google will be supporting Android development in Kotlin. In case you are concerned about other platforms that Kotlin supports (Kotlin/JVM for server and desktop, Kotlin/JS and Kotlin/Native), please be sure that they are as important for us as ever. Our vision here is to make Kotlin a uniform tool for end-to-end development of various applications bridging multiple platforms with the same language. This includes full-stack web applications, Android and iOS clients, embedded/IoT and much more. Programming languages are just like human ones: the more people speak a language, the better. First-class support on Android will likely bring more users to Kotlin, and we expect the community to grow significantly. This means more libraries and tools developed in/for Kotlin, more experience shared, more Kotlin job offerings, more learning materials published, and so on. We are excited to see the Kotlin ecosystem flourish! We will be partnering with Google to create a non-profit foundation for Kotlin. Language development will continue to be sponsored by JetBrains, and the Kotlin team (over 40 people and second largest team at the company) will operate as usual. Andrey Breslav remains the Lead Language Designer, and Kotlin will be developed under the same principles as before. We’ll keep our design processes open because your feedback is critical for us in moving Kotlin in the right direction. If you’re at Google I/O, make sure you stop by one of the Kotlin talks on the schedule. And of course, don’t forget to register for KotlinConf in San Francisco in November. It will be an amazing event!" (Source: https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2017/05/kotlin-on-android-now-official/) So... Is this the future of Android development? Watch this video and find out!

Programming Job Interview: Do It For You! (F*ck The Employer?) I'm currently in the process of releasing a new book and in this process I'm doing a lot of interview with some amazing names of the programmin industry.

There are basically two options if you're in the middle of a graduation process: - Get a Job - Apply For an Internship These two options will give you completely different outcomes, and you should be able to choose them well.

528 Success Story: Mitch Tabian On Building Online Programming Presence - Simple Programmer Podcast
Success Story: Mitch Tabian On Building Online Programming Presence Mitch is one more of those awesome success stories I like to share with you guys to show that, once you start to put everything I teach you in this channel, the chances of success are close to 100%. Here is part of how his life changed one he started applying what I teach in this YouTube channel: " I think you will probably remember me as I've emailed you several times in the past and commented on quite a few videos - but who knows, you have such a large reach know I think it would be easy to get lost in the crowd. I have been watching your videos since December 2015 (back when you still had the squeaky voice in some of your videos and occasionally wore a fidora). At that point I was in my last semester of school, finishing up my BSc. Physics and Diploma in Enginnering Physics. I had NO idea what I really wanted to do when I graduated in approximately 4 months. This was scary AF. Very quickly I saw that my true passion was writing code. I had taken only 2 java classes, a Python class, a C++ class and an Assembly programming class. But upon reflection I realized that was what I really liked doing. I had ZERO idea how to become a software developer with my current education. After asking around I came to the conclusion that is was possible - so I started watching YouTube videos. I had to come up with a way to really learn to code, and learn quickly because I only had 4 months until I needed to get a job - and unemployment was not an option for me. I can't sit idle, I need to do things. This is where you came in. I watched your videos and listened to your advice. I bought your blogging course and made my own blog. I then decided I was going to share with others as I learned and made a YouTube channel. On the channel I made (and still make) video tutorials for Android App Development. This accelerated my learning pace by x100. Teaching others is the single best way to learn something yourself. It forces you to develop a much deeper understanding. When your presenting something you can clearly see all the holes in your knowledge. I started out only doing 1 or 2 posts a week but I was coding and learning a ton after school and on weekends. My first videos were shit and when I look back at them I cringe a little - so I completely understand how you felt when watching your old videos when you had that squeaky voice lol. Fast-forward to graduation in April 2016: I managed to get an IT job at one of the largest companies in the province where I live. It wasn't a programmer job, but they employed programmers so I was very excited. I really believe the only reason they even brought me in for an interview is because of the technical skills I learned when teaching myself so code. I'm pretty good with people so that sealed the deal in the interview, but I doubt they would have called me without the programming/database skills I put on my resume. Fast-forward to today: I quit my job about 4 months ago to do my own thing. I had done a few contract jobs building apps for people/companies while I was working my IT job and decided that I was going to give the YouTube and Freelance Android Dev thing a try - and really commit to it. Now everything is going really well for me" Wanna know more about Mitch's story? Watch this video and find out!

He is one of the pioneers of Systems Biology and developed the first viable mathematical model of the working heart in 1960" (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Noble) Today I've partnered up with Denis Noble to discuss about the theory of beliefs and how there is much more to that than what we already know. Biology is not what we think we know and, more and more, the scientific community is starting to see more evidence about it. In this video, Denis will show how you can change your beliefs with the power of biology and how it can directly impact your life as a software developer.

Should You Follow Your Heart Or Your Head? A lot of people, at some point in life, get stuck in the dicotomy of brain vs. heart. These opposite forces tend to leave people out in nuts. How are you supposed to choose between heart or brain? Heart is what makes you feel... It is the "thing" that brings out the emotions in your. It is what you "want", in its core. The brain, on the other hand, is responsible for the analytical thinking. It surpasses the reptilian brain in order to make "smarter choices". How do you choose between the two? Whenever facing a new challenge, should you follow your heart or your head?

514 "The War Of Art" Book Review (With Many From 2000 Books) - Simple Programmer Podcast
"The War Of Art" Book Review (With Many From 2000 Books) If you reguarly watch this YouTube channel you've probably heard me talking about "The War Of Art" before and how important this book was to my career. This book literally changed a lot of things for me, especially when it comes to getting things done and not wanting everything to be always perfect and realize that motivation comes and goes. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon: "Drawing on his many years' experience as a writer, Pressfield (The Legend of Bagger Vance) presents his first nonfiction work, which aims to inspire other writers, artists, musicians, or anyone else attempting to channel his or her creative energies. The focus is on combating resistance and living the destiny that Pressfield believes is gifted to each person by an all-powerful deity. While certainly of great value to frustrated writers struggling with writer's block, Pressfield's highly personal philosophy, soundly rooted in his own significant life challenges, has merit for anyone frustrated in fulfilling his or her life purpose. Successful photographer Ulrich (photography chair, Art Inst. of Boston; coeditor, The Visualization Manual) explores the creative impulse and presents an approach to developing creativity that, like Pressfield's, will be relevant to artists and others. He identifies and explains seven distinct stages of the creative process: discovery and encounter, passion and commitment, crisis and creative frustration, retreat and withdrawal, epiphany and insight, discipline and completion, and responsibility and release. He also develops his view of the three principles of the creative impulse, which include creative courage, being in the right place at the right time, and deepening connections with others. Rooted in Eastern philosophy, Ulrich's fully developed treatise nicely updates the solid works of Brewster Ghiselin (The Creative Process), Rollo May (The Courage To Create), and Julia Cameron (The Artist's Way). It also supplements Pressfield's inspirational thoughts on overcoming resistance through introspective questions and practical exercises that further elaborate the creative process." However, this time, I decided to call a buddy from 2000 books so we could discuss it together. The results?

Stumbling on Happiness was a powerful book that a lot of people have told me I should read. Here is the book description extracted from Amazon: "Bringing to life scientific research in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, and behavioral economics, this bestselling book reveals what scientists have discovered about the uniquely human ability to imagine the future, and about our capacity to predict how much we will like it when we get there. • Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? • Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight? • Why do dining companions insist on ordering different meals instead of getting what they really want? • Why do pigeons seem to have such excellent aim; why can’t we remember one song while listening to another; and why does the line at the grocery store always slow down the moment we join it? In this brilliant, witty, and accessible book, renowned Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert describes the foibles of imagination and illusions of foresight that cause each of us to misconceive our tomorrows and misestimate our satisfactions. With penetrating insight and sparkling prose, Gilbert explains why we seem to know so little about the hearts and minds of the people we are about to become." So... Should you read this book?

506 Should I Let Teachers Limit My Potential? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Gatekeepers... You all know that I absolutely hate gatekeepers, right? One of the most common gatekeepers I see is teachers. Since we were kids, we are taught to listen, respect and obey teachers.

Should you let them do that? Watch this video and find out!

502 "Computer Science Students Should Learn To Cheat, Not Be Punished For It" - Simple Programmer Podcast
"Computer Science students are constantly getting into trouble for lifting entire blocks of code from the Internet. Yesterday, the New York Times published a fascinating piece about academic dishonesty in the computer science field, which it says is rampant." "It’s safe to say that in the academic world, plagiarism is a cardinal sin. There is nothing worse. If you get caught, you face sanction, or even expulsion. In the case of the aforementioned Purdue students, they got a zero for their work, and were docked a letter grade. But in the professional world, things aren’t quite as cut-and-dry. When you’re a professional coder, the priority isn’t to demonstrate originality with each line and algorithm, but rather to complete tasks as efficiently as possible." (Source: https://thenextweb.com/dd/2017/05/30/lets-teach-computer-science-students-to-cheat/#.tnw_vOCc4xel) These are just some statements from this article, which is exactly what I'm going to be discussing in this video.

500 Open Source: Good Option For Developers? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Open Source software has become widely diffused among software developers. "Open source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. "Source code" is the part of software that most computer users don't ever see; it's the code computer programmers can manipulate to change how a piece of software—a "program" or "application"—works. Programmers who have access to a computer program's source code can improve that program by adding features to it or fixing parts that don't always work correctly." (Source: https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) So, although the idea is quite good, is it a viable option for software developers, economically saying? Is it possible to make a living and a great career using open source software? Watch this video and find out!

"When you’re living in complete congruence, complete alignment, no part of you is conflicting with any other part of you. There is no disagreement. No disturbance. No fakeness. For a long time, I lived my life highly compartmentalized. I was one person when I was with my friends, a different person at work, and yet another person with family or my wife. It’s this kind of fragmentation that chokes your spirit." (Source: http://paidtoexist.com/de-compartmentalizing-your-life-and-the-extinction-of-boundaries/) Does it sound familiar?

491 The Gig Economy Will DOUBLE In The Next Years... What Now? - Simple Programmer Podcast
"A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. The trend toward a gig economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be independent contractors. There are a number of forces behind the rise in short-term jobs. For one thing, in this digital age, the workforce is increasingly mobile and work can increasingly be done from anywhere, so that job and location are decoupled. That means that freelancers can select among temporary jobs and projects around the world, while employers can select the best individuals for specific projects from a larger pool than that available in any given area." (Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/gig-economy) The gig economy is expected to DOUBLE its numbers in the next years. This number raises some serious questions about how we can protect ourselves as a software developer and how earning money will change. What can we expect from this gig economy? What will happen if this gig economy becomes bigger and bigger? Watch this video and find out!

Learning a new programming language can seem like a challenging task. However, as it is with all types of learning, there are certain techniques and practices that will help you learn the programming language faster and more efficiently. During my entire programmer career I've been confronted with situations that made me develop some practices that would help me learn new programming languages faster. In the beginning of my career I thought that reading books from cover to cover was the best way to learn a new language. Damn, how I was wrong. As I started to develop and create Pluralsight courses, I had to find a way to learn new programming languages fast, since this was exactly what I was doing. As you’re learning the new programming language, ask yourself the two vital tradeoff questions: - Do I really want to learn this language bad enough to actually learn this language? - Can I afford the time and energy needed to get good at sucking in this programming language?

471 Native Mobile Development: Is It Going To Die? - Simple Programmer Podcast
CHECK OUT HIRED.COM: https://www.simpleprogrammer.com/hiredsp There are a lot of questions on the internet about the future of mobile development, especially the difference between native and hybrid mobile development. Before we dive into this discussion, it is important to understand the basic difference between native vs hybrid mobile development: "Hybrid App: Developer augments web code with native SDK. Can be easily deployed across multiple platform and is usually the cheaper and faster solution. Native App: This is platform (iOS, Android etc.) specific and requires unique expertise. However the full potential of the platform can be leveraged which will drive great user experience and larger app capabilities (especially around phone hardware). Can be pricey based on requirement and may take longer to develop."

CHECK OUT HIRED.COM: https://www.simpleprogrammer.com/hiredsp CHECK OUT KOBITON: htttps://www.kobiton.com/simpleprogrammer It’s not too often that completely new roles are invented in the IT field, so the role of DevOps is both unique and a little, shall we say, loosely defined. What exactly is DevOps? Well, it’s a conglomeration or a mashup, if you will, of development and operations. In my mind, I think MacGyver. If you ask different people, you’ll get many answers, but for the most part, they’ll agree that DevOps is all about doing whatever needs to be done to get the code built, tested, deployed, and running in production. It’s the multidisciplinary process of getting code from development to production and taking care of the code when it’s there. Instead of having two or three separate roles that don’t know much about each other, and are arguably hostile and antagonistic at times, DevOps is about taking full ownership at every step along the way. So... How do you become a DevOps? What is the process behind becoming a DevOps? Watch this video and find out!

386 The Top 10 Books To Learn Python - Simple Programmer Podcast
Have you ever wondered what are the best books to learn Python? "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." (Source: https://www.python.org/doc/essays/blurb/) I've programmed in Python before and I must say I love Python!

So, as I like to say, I tend to buy some books just by reading its name. And this is exactly what happened with "What Doesn't Kill Us". What a freaking awesome name! And what an AWESOME book! I must say I was surprised by it. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon: "Our ancestors crossed deserts, mountains, and oceans without even a whisper of what anyone today might consider modern technology. Those feats of endurance now seem impossible in an age where we take comfort for granted. But what if we could regain some of our lost evolutionary strength by simulating the environmental conditions of our forebears? Investigative journalist and anthropologist Scott Carney takes up the challenge to find out: Can we hack our bodies and use the environment to stimulate our inner biology? Helping him in his search for the answers is Dutch fitness guru Wim Hof, whose ability to control his body temperature in extreme cold has sparked a whirlwind of scientific study. Carney also enlists input from an Army scientist, a world-famous surfer, the founders of an obstacle course race movement, and ordinary people who have documented how they have cured autoimmune diseases, lost weight, and reversed diabetes. In the process, he chronicles his own transformational journey as he pushes his body and mind to the edge of endurance, a quest that culminates in a record-bending, 28-hour climb to the snowy peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro wearing nothing but a pair of running shorts and sneakers. An ambitious blend of investigative reporting and participatory journalism, What Doesn't Kill Us explores the true connection between the mind and the body and reveals the science that allows us to push past our perceived limitations."

381 Programming Framework: Which Ones To Learn? - Simple Programmer Podcast
If you're a software developer I doubt you'll ever be able to learn everything that software developer has to offer. Every day new programming languages come out, technology changes and the process is updated. All this amount of information makes it impossible for developers to actually learn everything they want. That's why they have to choose, and filtering information nowadays is gold. "In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework is a universal, reusable software environment that provides particular functionality as part of a larger software platform to facilitate development of software applications, products and solutions. Software frameworks may include support programs, compilers, code libraries, tool sets, and application programming interfaces (APIs) that bring together all the different components to enable development of a project or system."

Me, working on both sides, I've seen a lot of this and I have to say that this is really bad for people responsible for hiring.

These tests should happen online, and the goal is not to prove that the candidate is some kind of coding genius, but that they know what the heck programming is. Yes, it's sad and kind of depressing that this is even necessary. Said that, I see a lot of developers complaining about how coding interviews should be banned and why is the reason companies do that.

Everyone that wants to start a fasting diet suffer from some problems, especially when it comes to finding an optimum time where he/she can have his/her one-meal-a-day. For those who don't know, fasting is a willing abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time. An absolute fast (dry fasting) is normally defined as abstinence from all food and liquid for a defined period, usually a period of 24 hours, or a number of days. Water fasting allows drinking water but nothing else. Other fasts may be partially restrictive, limiting only particular foods or substances. A fast may also be intermittent in nature. Fasting practices may preclude intercourse and other activities as well as food. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting) So, how do you blend morning exercises with fasting till evening?

How can you tell them apart when most make the same claims and provide the same services? A good property management firm can easily become one of your greatest assets, second only to the properties that they steward on your behalf. That said, your property manager will make critical decisions on your behalf. This is why so many landlords fail at building their real estate empire: they fail to hire someone to take good care of your properties for you.

Have you ever heard about this book? This book was recommended to me and I must say that this is not the type of book I usually read. However, I decided to take it a shot. And I must say I really liked it. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon "A New York Times bestseller―the outrageous exploits of one of this century's greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original. Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric―a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah." Wanna know more about this book?

347 Web Development Vs. Software Development: How To Choose? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Some people have doubts about which path to follow: Web Development Or Software Development? There are basically two different paths you can go when it comes to programming: Web Development Web development is the coding or programming that enables website functionality, per the owner's requirements. It mainly deals with the non-design aspect of building websites, which includes coding and writing markup. Web development ranges from creating plain text pages to complex Web-based applications, social network applications and electronic business applications. (Source: https://www.techopedia.com/definition/23889/web-development) Software Development Software development is the process of computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks resulting in a software product. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved in the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process.

342 "Cracking The Coding Interview" Book Review - Simple Programmer Podcast
A lot of guys have been asking me to do a review about Cracking The Coding Interview, and the time has come. In this video I'll tell you if you should buy Cracking The Coding Interview and why I consider it one of the best programming books ever written (even though it is above Soft Skills on Amazon). Here is the book description extracted from Amazon "I am not a recruiter. I am a software engineer. And as such, I know what it's like to be asked to whip up brilliant algorithms on the spot and then write flawless code on a whiteboard. I've been through this as a candidate and as an interviewer. Cracking the Coding Interview, 6th Edition is here to help you through this process, teaching you what you need to know and enabling you to perform at your very best. I've coached and interviewed hundreds of software engineers. The result is this book. Learn how to uncover the hints and hidden details in a question, discover how to break down a problem into manageable chunks, develop techniques to unstick yourself when stuck, learn (or re-learn) core computer science concepts, and practice on 189 interview questions and solutions. These interview questions are real; they are not pulled out of computer science textbooks. They reflect what's truly being asked at the top companies, so that you can be as prepared as possible. WHAT'S INSIDE? 189 programming interview questions, ranging from the basics to the trickiest algorithm problems. A walk-through of how to derive each solution, so that you can learn how to get there yourself. Hints on how to solve each of the 189 questions, just like what you would get in a real interview. Five proven strategies to tackle algorithm questions, so that you can solve questions you haven't seen. Extensive coverage of essential topics, such as big O time, data structures, and core algorithms. A behind the scenes look at how top companies like Google and Facebook hire developers. Techniques to prepare for and ace the soft side of the interview: behavioral questions. For interviewers and companies: details on what makes a good interview question and hiring process."

335 Tips For First Time Renters - Simple Programmer Podcast
So, as you know I do a lot of real estate videos and I believe real estate is one of the best investments a programmer could ever make in his/her life.

333 Dealing With Lack Of Confidence As A Developer - Simple Programmer Podcast
A lot of developers struggle with lack of confidence. In fact, I've talked about this several times on this channel, because this is such a recurrent topic in the software developer community. One of the ways that this lack of confidence can appear is in the form of the "Impostor Syndrome". For those who don't know, Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or fraud syndrome) is a concept describing high-achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalize their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Despite external evidence of their competence, those exhibiting the syndrome remain convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved. Proof of success is dismissed as luck, timing, or as a result of deceiving others into thinking they are more intelligent and competent than they believe themselves to be. So, how to you deal with this lack of confidence and develop your inner security? 5 Soft Skills Every Software Developer Should Know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVC3DQvAAIA&list=PLjwWT1Xy3c4XRTEK79UXmtkUT-jsP4rUP&index=2 What My Life Was Like 7 Years Ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbrY4YwTvfg&list=PLjwWT1Xy3c4XRTEK79UXmtkUT-jsP4rUP&index=6

They say that they won't have topics and substance to write and to create a blog around this theme. Besides that, one of the major fears of people is picking a small niche.

Recently, I did a video about algorithms and whether it was a good idea to learn it or not. I see a lot of programmers making much noise about algorithms and well... In the end, it might not be ALL OF THIS for you to worry about it so much. 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. An algorithm is a self-contained step-by-step set of operations to be performed. Algorithms perform calculation, data processing, and/or automated reasoning tasks.

324 SysAdmin To Software Development: How To Transition? - Simple Programmer Podcast
There are some times when we really need to make a career transition and this can be a very difficult thing to do. I've talked about transitioning from QA to Software Development but I've never dug into talking about the transition from SysAdmin to Software Development, First of all, a SysAdmin is is a person who is responsible for the upkeep, configuration, and reliable operation of computer systems; especially multi-user computers, such as servers. The system administrator seeks to ensure that the uptime, performance, resources, and security of the computers he or she manages meet the needs of the users, without exceeding the budget. To meet these needs, a system administrator may acquire, install, or upgrade computer components and software; provide routine automation; maintain security policies; troubleshoot; train or supervise staff; or offer technical support for projects. So, as you can see, a lot can be learned from those people wanting to transition. Wanna know what is the best way to jump right into it?

320 Should You Take ADHD Medication? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Technically, I have ADHD. I don't even know what that means, really. As a kid, I recall getting kicked out of preschool. It was pretty silly - all just some sort of misunderstanding. Apparently, or should I say "allegedly", I was pulling some girls hair and I was climbing up the bookcases and jumping from bookcase to bookcase, pretending like I was a monkey. It didn't take them very long before they figured out I needed to be on Ritalin. But the Ritalin didn't last long. I quickly rejected it. Even at a young age, I knew that I didn't want to be controlled by some medication. I wanted to be me. Even if that meant that I was a human pretending to be a dog pretending to be a human, I needed to bark at any adult who tried to talk to me, and I needed to do this without breaking the role for at least two days straight. So, should you consider taking ADHD medication? Watch this video to discover what it can do for you and how you can channel this activity to something productive in your life.

Although Node.js is not a JavaScript framework, many of its basic modules are written in JavaScript, and developers can write new modules in JavaScript. The runtime environment interprets JavaScript using Google's V8 JavaScript engine." (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js) Due to its importance, it is understandable that it has become sort of a popular tool for programmers and software developers. However, just as it happens with lots of other tools, learning it can be very difficult. There are a lot of information right now on the internet and trying to learn everything can be almost impossible if you go through all the literature of the language. So, what do you do to specialize in Node.js/Full Stack Development? What strategy can you use to make it work for you?

313 "The Effective Executive" Book Review - Simple Programmer Podcast
Recently, I'm reading a lot of business books and this one came up on my queue and I've decided to give it a shot. Here is the book description, extracted from Amazon: "The measure of the executive, Peter F. Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned: Managing time Choosing what to contribute to the organization Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect Setting the right priorities Knitting all of them together with effective decision-making Ranging widely through the annals of business and government, Peter F. Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations." Do you wanna know what is my opinion on this book?

So, I've seen a lot of people asking me this question, about what does C/C++ mean. Well, for new software developers this might not make any sense, after all, why do these companies put in their job listing "we want a C/C++ developer"? I've had this doubt myself back then and this is totally normal. This is exactly what George asked me: "What I don't understand is why I always see C/C++ in the job listing,as far as I know those are different languages and somebody told me that C is mostly for hardware and embedded devices and I'm currently not that interested in that but why do we always see the C/C++ thing and not only one language,do people really always use both languages at the same job?Is it a bad idea to leave C aside and focus on C++ because I am really interested in competitive programming right now?"

308 How Many Lines Of Code Should A Function Have? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Writing code is definitely an art. It is far from being something automatic. This is so true due to the fact that every software developer writes a different code, based on their personal experience and how they perceive it is the best practice for writing it. So, one of the most asked questions I receive is how a code should be written and what are the best practices for writing code. In this video I'll discuss a little bit more about how many lines of code should a function have. This is such a particular code and a quote from Code Complete Book sums it up really well: "From time to time, a complex algorithm will lead to a longer routine, and in those circumstances, the routine should be allowed to grow organically up to 100-200 lines. (A line is a noncomment, nonblank line of source code.) Decades of evidence say that routines of such length are no more error prone than shorter routines. Let issues such as depth of nesting, number of variables, and other complexity-related considerations dictate the length of the routine rather than imposing a length restriction per se."

307 Can Sweat Equity Pay Off? - Simple Programmer Podcast
So, a lot of you guys are interested in investing and I figured it would be of great help to create a video talking more about other types of investment, especially sweat equity. If you're not familiar "Sweat equity is contribution to a project or enterprise in the form of effort and toil. Sweat equity, in the context of real estate, refers to value-enhancing improvements made by homeowners to their properties. Sweat equity is the non-monetary contribution individuals make when developing a project, such as rehabilitating homes for resale or starting a new business venture. For example, a person fixing up and selling homes spends time repairing and renovating the properties. A newly formed company’s founders, advisors and board members contribute their time building the business."

305 When To Learn A Second Programming Language? - Simple Programmer Podcast
So, this is a question I believe a lot of developers would die to know the answer. As software developers, we usually start learning just one programming language and we then specialize in it. So, you start working with that programming language till you master what you can with it. However, there comes a time when we, as software developers, reach a plateau. There are no new things to be learned and we feel like it is time to jump to a second programming language. But... When should we do it? How can we know when to learn a second programming language?

This is a topic very important for me to discuss because I believe so many people still fail to understand this. Bottom line is: you should not let anyone claim ownership over your life. Your life is yours and you should live it as you want. End of story. Besides that sounding a bit harsh, I understand there is a lot more below the surface of my comment. This does not mean you should do everything you want without thinking about the consequences and not caring about what people near you think. However, when you start to think about freedom, how can you possibly be free if you control other people's life?

297 Top 10 C++ Books (Beginner & Advanced) - Simple Programmer Podcast
So, a lot of you guys requested a Top 10 C++ Books and well... There you have it! Lately, I've been doing a lot of different Top Books on my channel. I figured it is an awesome way of providing a good way to start for those who want to learn new programming languages or even for those people that want to study more about a specific language. So, in this video I'll give you my Top 10 C++ Books. This will be an awesome resource for those who want to learn C++, especially nowadays if a lot of information overload. Having focus and knowing where you want to go will definitely make a big difference on how fast you'll learn C++ If you don't know, C++ is one of the most popular programming languages nowadays. It is a robust language and here are only a few of its pros: - Is extremely popular, and therefore lots of support is available. - Has a large base of freely available code for download, while also supporting direct integration with ASM and C. - Is very powerful, and can be used to create just about any program, including low-level system programs. - There is a compiler for C++ on every major operating system. C++ programs that are purposely written for portability will work on many major operating systems with little change in code. - C++ is a language which is compiled (transformed from human readable code to low-level machine code), so it can often run faster than languages such as Java, Python, and C#; as it does not depend on an interpreter or a "run-time environment" which must be loaded beforehand. - Has a long established usage base that likely guarantees support for the language will continue for quite some time. - Many languages are based off of C/C++, such as Java, so knowledge in C++ will make it easier to understand these languages. - Has a relatively small associated C++ Standard Library as compared to languages such as Java's Standard Platform SDK or C#'s .NET Framework, permitting greater versatility and reducing the system footprint of resulting compilations. - Has been standardized by the International Standards Association as ISO/IEC 14882 with significant versions of the standard released in 1998, 2003 and 2011. - Has a significant number of open source libraries available, including the Boost which are freely and widely available.

296 Drinking Coffee & "I Don't Have Enough Time" - Simple Programmer Podcast
Today we are going to talk about two different but relatable topics, when it comes to being a productive software developer. So, the first topic we are going to address is the drinking coffee problem. I know a lot of developers have trouble when it comes to drinking coffee. Most people use coffee as a crutch to get energy during the day. According to Body Ecology, "Research is finding that one reason so many people are addicted to coffee, is that they may be deficient in dopamine." "However, while this research may give people the license to drink more coffee, it is misleading. This is because the coffee itself may then lead to an increase in the root of the depression by further taxing your system, creating more stress, and damaging the delicate pH of your stomach." (Source: http://bodyecology.com/articles/are-you-using-coffee-as-a-crutch-for-happiness) So, how is your relation with coffee and how does it affect your overall performance? Besides that, we're also going to talk about the famous argument "I don't have enough time". Do you really don't have time or are you "mis-managing" everything? Watch this video and find out!

If you're still eating right and exercising but can't seem to lose any more weight, you might have hit a weight loss plateau. It's normal for weight loss to stall after a while. This is not necessarily an indication that you're doing something wrong. It might just be that you need to adjust your weight loss plan to account for the changes in your body and metabolism. In today's episode, I received a question from a reader saying that he can't drop any more pounds.

I've made one video talking about "The Secret Of Life", in which I believe is trusting the process. Trusting the process is something that we all should do. Trusting the process means giving something a shot until you complete what I call "the process". This means that you will not give up until you get your results. People are usually a little bit skeptical about this. Some think this is bullshit and tell me that you need to keep adjusting till you see results. Other fear that they might have picked up the wrong process and, so, they end up abandoning it in the middle of the road. So, how do you know that you can trust the process? What will give you security that you can stay on this road and will not give up? Watch this video and find out!

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you decide that you want to build muscles and become fit? Going to the gym, lifting weights, hard work, right? Yeah, me too.

A lot of you guys have been asking me this question. "John, can you tell us a little bit more about competitive programming? What is competitive programming? Is it a good choice?" Well, the questions are endless. And I've decided to do a video talking more about this topic, trying to sum up everything in here. So, first of all we need to understand what is competitive programming. According to Wikipedia, "Competitive programming is a mind sport usually held on the Internet or a local network, involving participants trying to program according to provided specifications. Contestants are referred to as sports programmers. Competitive programming is recognized and supported by several multinational software and Internet companies, such as Google, Facebook, and IBM. There are several organizations who host programming competitions on a regular basis. A programming competition generally involves the host presenting a set of logical or mathematical problems to the contestants (who can vary in number from tens to several thousand), and contestants are required to write computer programs capable of solving each problem. Judging is based mostly upon number of problems solved and time spent for writing successful solutions, but may also include other factors (quality of output produced, execution time, program size, etc.)" (Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competitive_programming) So, what is the real purpose in enrolling at one of these competitive programming championships?

282 My Employee Lacks Soft Skills - Simple Programmer Podcast
Working for a company means not only knowing and understanding the technical side. More and more, companies are searching for employees that know their stuff, not only technically but also socially. And this is what I call soft skills. Soft skills is a synonym for "people skills." The term describes those personal attributes that indicate a high level of emotional intelligence. Unlike hard skills, which describe a person's technical skill set and ability to perform specific tasks, soft skills are broadly applicable across job titles and industries. It's often said that hard skills will get you an interview but you need soft skills to get -- and keep -- the job. In this email, I receive a question from an employer saying that his employee lacked soft skills. He was an awful person to work with and this was making the process of working with him undoable.

267 Breaking Bad & Why It Is The Only TV Show I Watch - Simple Programmer Podcast
Recently, I was with my wife in the living room and she was zapping through the TV and stopped watching Breaking Bad. You know I don't watch TV and I've talked about it several times before. However, I need to confess that this show got my attention. I was drawn to the TV and I started watching Breaking Bad. Here is the show synopsis: "A struggling high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), is diagnosed with inoperable, advanced lung cancer. On a ride along with his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), Walter sees a former student of his, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), fleeing the scene of a meth lab. He later contacts Jesse and devises a scheme to become partners in an attempt to combine their skills to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine, with Walter cooking the product and Jesse using his street connections to distribute it. Walter says he wants to provide financial stability for his pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn) and disabled son, and to pay for his expensive cancer treatment. During Walter and Jesse's first days of selling Albuquerque's finest meth, they encounter a series of problems with local drug dealers. He continues to produce meth despite these setbacks using the alias 'Heisenberg'."

266 Are MCSD Certifications A Good Option? - Simple Programmer Podcast
A lot of programmers ask me this question: Should I get MCSD certifications? Well, to answer this question, first, we need to address what are MCSD and talk about if certifications are a good way to build a viable (and smart) career choice. For those who don't know, "The Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer is Microsoft's prevailing certification for programmers and application developers. The MCSD covers current Visual Studio versions (for the MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management cert) and also emphasizes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#, ASP.NET, Azure, Web Services and SharePoint. Within each credential you'll find various specialties that focus on specific job roles or target specific application types. There are a lot of options to choose from in this program, which currently includes five different MCSD credentials, including Windows Store Apps, Web Applications, SharePoint Applications, Azure Solutions Architect and Application Lifecycle Management. Depending on the MCSD certification sought, candidates can expect to take three or four exams to obtain the credential. There are no required training courses, though all MCSD exams are associated with one or more Microsoft Official Curriculum course offerings. Look for online learning deals for the best bang for your buck. Because of the MCSD: Windows Store App credential requires proficiency in a programming language (either HTML5 or C#), candidates who pass one of the associated programming exams earn a Microsoft Specialist certification in Visual Studio. The current programming exams are Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 (exam number 480) and Programming in C# (exam number 483)." Source: http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/programming-certifications,2-274-2.html So, these are one of the most common types of certifications and people can be really obsessed with it. However, are these the only option to boost your career? What should you really consider when it comes to getting certifications? Should you even consider getting certifications if you're looking for a job? Watch this video and find out!

260 Composition Vs. Inheritance: How To Choose? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Today we are going to talk about real programming. Composition Vs. Inheritance. Have you ever heard about these terms? How should you choose between these two terms? One of the advantages of Object-Oriented programming language is code reuse. There are two ways we can do code reuse either by implementation of inheritance (IS-A relationship), or object composition (HAS-A relationship). Although the compiler and Java virtual machine (JVM) will do a lot of work for you when you use inheritance, you can also get at the functionality of inheritance when you use composition. As you all know, Inheritance is fundamental to object-oriented programming. A programming language may have objects and messages, but without inheritance, it is not object-oriented (merely “object-based”, but still polymorphic). Composition is also fundamental to every language. Even if the language does not support composition (rare these days!), humans still think in terms of parts and components. It would be impossible to break down complex problems into modular solutions without composition. So, how can you possibly know what is the best? How to choose between composition and inheritance?

255 Be Willing To Pay 2x The Price For Everything - Simple Programmer Podcast
Everything that we do causes a reaction. Our actions are always balanced by some kind of reaction. Sometimes, this reaction comes before our action and this is what we call that "everything has a price". However, a lot of people don't know how to handle with that "price" and it is easy to see that they end up being frustrated or even mad about it. Paying the price for your actions is something that we all need to do, sooner or later. The best thing, so, would be to be willing to pay twice the price for everything you do. If you're willing to pay twice the price you're expecting, you're not only going to get much better results but also you're going to enter in a mindset where everything you do will come off as profit, and it will make you happier.

You can also interoperate with other languages, across platforms, with legacy data, by virtue of the following features: - Full interoperability support through COM+ 1.0 and .NET - Framework services with tight library-based access. - XML support for wWeb-based component interaction. - Versioning to provide ease of administration and deployment."

236 I Can't Stop Working And I Can't Enjoy Life - Simple Programmer Podcast
Recently, I've faced one of the hardest times of my life when it came to keeping up motivation. If you watch my videos you've probably seen how unmotivated I became and I literally exposed myself here in the channel, which is something I do for you to realize that it can happen to anyone. In those videos, I talked about the importance of keeping it going, even tough you're unmotivated. And how you need to keep working for you to achieve everything you want in life. However, I think that, in life, everything needs to be balanced. In today's video I'm going to talk about work addiction. I received an email from a reader that said that his drive couldn't stop and he couldn't enjoy anything that life has provided him. He kept going from one thing to another and he never actually found time to stop and enjoy life. He asked my opinion on this and what is the reason that he can't stop and enjoy life.

235 HIIT Vs. Cardio For Burning Fat - Simple Programmer Podcast
As some of you might know, I do a lot of cardio. I'm in an intensive workout and diet program so that I can lower my body fat percentage as much as I can. If you watch my YT channel regularly, you're probably aware that i want to drop my body fat percentage by 10% - 7%. And the way I choose to do this is by enrolling in an intensive workout and fitness program (which is something I plan to release in the future) and by doing cardio. I run almost 4 hours per week and this is the training I decided to do. However, a lot of people ask me why I don't do HIIT, which is high-intensity interval training. It seems that the HIIT trainings are known to burn a lot of calories within a small amount of time. So, why I don't do HIIT? Is HIIT really effective for burning fat? How can I supposedly prefer cardio instead of HIIT for burning fat?

233 Should I Quit My Job & Become A Freelance Developer? - Simple Programmer Podcast
A lot of programmers dream about becoming freelancers. Wouldn't it be awesome to not have a boss that tells you what to do and to have flexibility in your work? Work on your underwears, in your home, anytime you want? Well... Maybe... But this dream fantasy that people sell you is usually not what happens. Yes, of course, these are some benefits of becoming a freelancer, but there are also a lot of downsides to this choice. For example, let's take the money. When you're in a company, you get your salary each month PLUS some benefits, such as food, and other stuff your company might have agreed to support you. When you're a freelancer, all these expenses need to be covered by you... So, you would be losing money if you actually charged the same thing. In this video, I'll explain if you're ready to make this transition to becoming a freelancer software developer and what are the things you should take into consideration when it comes to becoming a successful freelancer.

223 Resetting Your Goals To Clear Your Head - Simple Programmer Podcast
We all get all packed up with a lot of different things to do at some point in our lives. We start getting a lot of different things to do and, in the end, our life is full of different projects, things to finish and deadlines to meet. This is why, from time to time, it is important to do what I call a "clean up" on your goals. You need to stop, focus, re-schedule everything, clean up unnecessary tasks and re-think everything you need to do. The reason to do that is that it is easy to get lost on all of this tsunami of ideas inside of our minds. It can cause stress, anxiety and it can make us feel lost inside of so many things we need to do and take care of. Resetting your goals from time to time will make you more focused and also will give you another perspective on your current tasks and objectives.

220 Can You Really Learn Anything In 3 Months? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Can You Really Learn Anything In 3 Months? So, recently I did a video called "Coding Is Not The Same As Programming" and I've received a lot of comments on there. Definitely, it was one of my most popular videos and it polarized all my viewers. However, one of the comments gathered my attention. Here are some of the comments that made me record this video: "No, no, no, no, no. If you think people can become even a remotely decent programmer in 3 months, you are not just over optimistic, You are flat out wrong. An the claim that you could in a focus 3 months become a better biologist than some one who has been doing it for 10 years, you are caching a check that your ass can't cover. You sir are a fraud!" "Simple Programmer is completely delusional in this video, sure you could write 4 novels in 3 months but they would all suck, there is no way you would be able to learn 4 real instruments in 3 months time, by real instruments I mean drums, guitar, piano, etc. not something like a shaker, get real dude, no matter how much adderall or ritalin you go on you're stretching the limit quite a bit.

219 "The War Of Art": Good Or Overrated? - Simple Programmer Podcast
I've read The War Of Art a thousand times but I actually never had a chance to do a book review about that... Until now. The War Of Art is definitely an amazing book and I've talked about it several times before. I keep reading back this book because I think it has such wonderful advice on there and it is such a powerful book especially for entrepreneurs. Here is the book description from Amazon: A succinct, engaging, and practical guide for succeeding in any creative sphere, The War of Art is nothing less than Sun-Tzu for the soul. What keeps so many of us from doing what we long to do? Why is there a naysayer within? How can we avoid the roadblocks of any creative endeavor—be it starting up a dream business venture, writing a novel, or painting a masterpiece? Bestselling novelist Steven Pressfield identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success. The War of Art emphasizes the resolve needed to recognize and overcome the obstacles of ambition and then effectively shows how to reach the highest level of creative discipline. Think of it as tough love . . . for yourself. Whether an artist, writer or business person, this simple, personal, and no-nonsense book will inspire you to seize the potential of your life. Is it REALLY that good? Or it is something that it should be seen only as overrated? Listen to this episode and find out!

217 What Are The Areas You Should Master In Life? - Simple Programmer Podcast
Most people end up their lives not knowing everything they could and not understanding how life really works. We get caught up in distractions and in the belief that we should master ONLY what we see in our jobs that we end up neglecting some other important stuff out there in the world.

There is a lot of bragging about cardio and aerobic exercises. Does it really kill all of your efforts when it comes to building muscle and losing fat? in order to get the body we really want we must do basically two different things: build muscle and lose fat.

One of the most popular ways of losing body fat is aerobic exercises, or "cardio" for what it is known better.

Persuasion & Arguing A lot of people think that the best way to convince and persuade someone is by presenting logical arguments. The more logical the arguments are, the easiest it will be for someone to change sides and pick yours. Well, it doesn't always work like that and I'll tell you why. People are not rational beings but emotional beings. Despite we don't want to admit it, we don't make decisions based on logic, but on emotions. All of our decisions get into a path which we call the reptile brain before getting to the neocortex. This is why we make decisions based on emotions. We were not able to complete evolution and change this pattern. So, if you want to persuade someone, focus on presenting emotional elements. Wanna know more? Listen to this podcast and find out!

So, what should you do if a piece of this system is not working as it should?

According to him, he has a coworker that does not do any job. He simply goes to the company, gets his money to sit there doing nothing. His boss knows everything but they won't do anything to change it. What should he do in a situation like that? How can he approach it? Should he battle to change this guy's destiny or should he simply let it go? Watch this video and find out!

Simple Programmer Podcast 192: Invest In Houses Or Condos?
Invest In Houses Or Condos? Real Estate investments can be tricky. You have a lot of options to choose and, the more you learn, the more you'll feel lost and overwhelmed. There is never a right or wrong answer when it comes to real estate investment. You'll first need to analyze every variable, before coming to a conclusion. So, in this case, what would be better? Invest in houses or condos? Both have very different approaches and can provide you very different results, especially when it comes to cash flow, expenses and the amount of money you make at the end. So, is there a right answer to this questions? Well, not so much. As with all real estate investments, it depends—on the particular property, location, market, and other factors, such as the annual return you expect on the investment, or cap rate.

Is It Ok If My Company Does Not Pay Me? When you get a job the first thing that comes to mind is the salary you'll receive, right? You start thinking about all the amazing things you'll be able to to with the money you'll get, what types of things you'll be able to buy, etc. But... What if your company does not pay you? Yeah, you heard it right... What if your company does not pay you and you're working for... FREE? In today's video, I received a question from a reader telling me that he is working for free.

Are Generalists Better Than Specialists? This is another podcast where I'll discuss the old-fashioned battle about whether you should become a specialist or not. I've done so many podcasts about that topic that it is totally recommended that you check my playlist on "Specialization And Niching Down". So, in this podcast, I received a very interesting question. A reader from the blog asked me why I've contradicted myself in this topic. he said that I said, in some old podcast of mine, that you should be a generalist. Wait, what? How could that be possible? If you watch my channel, you've probably heard me talking about how important I think it is for someone to become a specialist, instead of a generalist. But... Did I really say that? Are generalists really better than specialists? Listen to this podcast

What Technologies Do I Need To Develop A Game? A lot of developers dream about game development. This is a hot topic and a lot of programmers want to become software developers so that they can develop games and work in the game development industry. While I've talked about game development before, whether it was the career or pros and cons, I've never talked about what you REALLY need to start developing games. So, I've received this question from a reader asking me about what he needed to start developing games. He talks about how technology has changed so much over time and how complex it is right now to develop games. How can just one person develop an entire 3d game? Directx? CUDA? How the hell? I talk in this video why right now may be the best time to develop games and why these technologies don't matter so much anymore.

Spend Your Time The Right Way In life, we all struggle to get our goals accomplished. Most of us end in a vicious looping that doesn't seem to do us justice and does not take us anywhere. On the other hand, there are people that seem to be utterly productive and they seem to achieve whatever they want. They set goals for themselves, create a proper plan and stick to this plan no matter what. So, what is the secret of these people? How can they be so productive? Well, there are many reasons for that, but definitely one of them is: "They know how to spend their time the right way". Time is the most democratic asset in the world. We all have 24 hours in a day and you're free to spend it the way you want. So, understanding how you can spend your time the right way and making those smart choices can definitely separate you from the rest of the world.

I received a question from a newbie programming telling that older programmers were saying things like "But how can you possibly say you're a programmer if you don't know nothing about testing?" So, can you really become a programmer if you don't know testing? For some of you that might not know, Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test. Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation.

How To Self-Publish A Book? A lot of people dream of writing a book. A few years ago, I would say that this was almost impossible. There were a lot of difficulties, you had to get a publishing company, they had to accept you, you had to have an audience for you to sell, etc. Too many things to think and to take care for just one person. Nowadays, things are much easier. There is a new modality called "self-publishing", in which you can publish your book without needing a publishing company to get everything done for you. However, this raises a lot of questions. "How can I self-publish a book?", "Where do I start looking for things?", "What will I need in order to self-publish my book?". Well, in this video I'll take you step-by-step in the process of self-publishing a book, showing that you can do that too. Watch this video to find out how to publish your own book.

This dualism in this choice leaves us with a lot of questions in our head: "Should I accept this offers? My salary will increase and I'll be able to invest more", or "I can't take this offer. It's risky and what if it doesn't work out? What am I going to do?". Let me tell you that this is not an easy choice to make. There is no right or wrong with this.

How To Write Clean Code? As software developers, writing code is definitely a priority for us. Just like architects, whose task is to design beautiful and good looking buildings, our job is quite similar. We're hired to create automation solutions to problems that exist in different industries. Sometimes, people only tend to evaluate the final product, which is the app/software/solution we present them. However, there is much more to this story. The foundation of the final product is the code. And, when the code is well written, everything flows much better. So, how can you possibly write better and cleaner code? The cleaner your code, the better you'll be seen as a professional and the easier it will be for you to make adjustments, correct bugs and implement new features in the future.

Is Software Development Analytical Or Art? A lot of people tend to ask me "John, why do you think that software development is art?". I do think software development is art. While this might seem controversial, let me explain my point. First of all, we need to understand how hybrid things are nowadays. It's difficult to find something 100% pure in 2016. Things mix up with other things and they get a whole new meaning when that stuff happens. Said that, I do think that Software Development is analytical. And a lot. However, if you think of software development just as something analytical, you'll probably be left behind by the ones who understand that software development is also an art. When you start to see programming as an art, you'll understand that you have the power to build anything. You, as a developer, has the ability to build an entire universe, just by writing code. And this is where the art comes in. Wanna know more? Watch this video and find out!

Why Is Marketing "Result Oriented"? If you deal with marketing in your day-to-day life, you've probably heard that marketing is a "result oriented" thing. But, what do I mean by marketing being "result oriented"? Whenever you try to market something, you need to focus on the results you're bringing to your audience, instead of the features of your project. But does it have an explanation for it? Well, in fact, yes. When you focus on the result you go straight to your audience's dreams and desires. When you focus on the results that your product can bring, you open the eyes of your customers to how their lives can change after they buy what you have to offer. And this little tweak on the way you market your products or services can literally change how your customers perceive the value of your offer and increase the chances of people buying it.

Simple Programmer Podcast 155: The REAL Reason Why You're Not Productive
The REAL Reason Why You're Not Productive We all want to be productive right? Over the last few years, a huge amount of studies, theories, books, and strategies have been published about productivity. Different authors, life coaches, and productivity coaches have specialized in making people more productive in this ever changing world of the 21st century. However, while there is a lot of different strategies, people seem to be unable to follow these strategies. They find it hard to implement these strategies and they often fail, getting back to their standard routine. So, today I'm going to ask a simple question: Why most people fail when trying to become more productive? What most people don't know is that, if there is a missing piece in this whole story, things will definitely fall apart quickly. And that missing piece is definitely discipline. If you don't have discipline, you won't be able to stick to whatever changes need to be made and, then, everything will fall apart. So, how do you develop discipline?

How To Rank Number 1 On Amazon? As probably the majority of you know, I'm the author of Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual Book. And with that book, I got ranked #1 on Amazon and I still figure out among the highest ranked books on Software Development.
So, what is the strategy for ranking so high on Amazon's Best Seller Books? Well, the most powerful strategy I have for ranking #1 on Amazon is building up what I call "launch day".
The launch day consists in reuniting all efforts and all actions into one single day, which is the day you'll launch your book. You need to create a very powerful and consistent marketing strategy so you can make a lot of people buy your book on your launch day. Once you do that, you'll hit the #1 spot on the Amazon's Best Seller Books.
It helps not only the ranking but, the more people see your book among the top books of your genre, the easier it will be for you to sell more books.

Simple Programmer Podcast 134: Can "Normal Developers" Learn Design?
Can "Normal Developers" Learn Design?
This is a common question I get asked a lot: Can normal programmers learn design?
You're a programmer... You write code. What if you could step up your game and learn not only how to write code, but to design... Do you think this is possible?
Design is often seen as a mystical subject. It's 8 or 80: You either have "they eye" for design or you don't. What most programmers don't actually realize is that, in fact, they can learn ANYTHING, even design.
If you're a programmer and you want to learn design, however, you'll have to commit. Learning design is a devotion and it is not something you become a master overnight. It takes time, it takes devotion and it can be tricky sometimes.

Sometimes, a lot of developers and people procrastinate because they don't know how to start blogging. One of their main misconceptions and obstacles is the fact that they don't know enough.

Simple Programmer Podcast 131: Change Your Friends, Change Your Life!
Change Your Friends, Change Your Life!
This is a frequent question I receive and it is also a question that I often cover on my YouTube videos. It all started when I covered a concept extract from "The Personal MBA" Book which stated that "Your Setpoints Determine Your Reality".
After that, I've received a lot of questions from people asking me how they could change their setpoints. I did a video about that which stated that you needed to change your social circle if you wanted to change your setpoints.
Jim Rohn once said: "You Are The Average Of The Five People You Spend The Most Time With". Due to that, if you really want to raise your setpoints, you need to change your friends and the people you hang out with.
But... Isn't it mean? Isn't it evil? How should you change your friends? Should you stop hanging out with them? Should you cut them out of your life?

Android Vs. iOs: Which One Is The Best? And... Which is the best if you're a software developer?
I get this question a lot and I felt like creating a video to answer this question.
Android and iOS are basically the biggest mobile platforms, now, in 2016. Both Android and iOS have its strengths and weaknesses. Which one should you prefer if you're a software developer?
According to Comscore (http://www.comscore.com/), both Android and iOS have its specifications that every software developer should be aware of:
- iPhone Users are Slightly Younger and More Affluent- Android Users Have Broader Content Category Reach, Despite iOS Users’ Higher Propensity- iPhone Users More Likely to Engage in M-Commerce- iPhone Satisfaction Corresponds with High Device Loyalty- Developers Should Think About What’s Most Important Before Developing an App
Every software developer should think and do a very detailed research before developing an app, no matter what platform do they choose.
Is iOS better and more reliable? Does Android offer more options to work as a developer and, thus, will be the future?
