6 Reasons Why You’ll Never Learn to Code 22:50

40 weeks ago22:50

A few years ago, David Heinemeier Hansson (Ruby on Rails creator) made a confession on Twitter: "I look up code on the internet all the time." David's confession went viral. Within a few hours, dozens of developers began to make similar confessions — all challenging the conventional idea of what most people think it means to be a "real developer." What the trend "Developer Confessions" has taught us is that developers don't know EVERYTHING. (Phew, what a relief!) In this latest episode of the Learn to Code Podcast I break down the 6 Reasons Why You'll Never Learn to Code, and make my own developer confession. (Geez, I have so so so many developer confessions — hope you're ready). 6 Reasons Why You'll Never Learn to Code (article w/ links and examples) https://learn.onemonth.com/6-reasons-why-youll-never-learn-to-code/ Developer Confessions: https://twitter.com/i/events/835969005668220930?lang=en Learn to Code with One Month ►https://www.onemonth.com/ STAY TUNED: One Month ► https://www.onemonth.com/ YouTube ► https://youtube.com/c/onemonth Facebook ►https://www.facebook.com/OneMonthEdu/ Podcast ►https://learn.onemonth.com/learn-to-code-podcast/…

The Complete Guide to Learn SQL in Just 15 Minutes for Free 12:08

42 weeks ago12:08

12:08

SQL is the language of databases, and SQL programmers are in high demand. This week, I want to share how to learn SQL for free — and in your spare time — during quarantine. All you need to get started is access to an MYSQL database, as well as some datasets to play around with. 1. Install a Database — If you want to learn SQL, you’re going to need a SQL database. One of the easiest ways to get a database is to register for a shared hosting account. If you go to hostgator.com and enter the code “onemonthcode,″ you’ll gain access to a MYSQL database for only $0.01 (for the first month). Once you’re in the control panel (or cPanel) click the option to create a new database. Then, click on “PHPMyAdmin” for access to your MYSQL database. Watch this video on setting up shared hosting to learn more. 2. Download a (Free) SQL Dataset — In order to learn SQL, you need a dataset. I've included a free SQL dataset (.sql file) that you can download and upload to your MYSQL database. Open it in Sublime Text, or any text editor, right now, and you can see! Once you’ve completed the MYSQL installation, go to your MYSQL database and click “Import” to import this .sql file. 3. Discover some great resources! My favorite SQL book is Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta! They say only 10 minutes a day, but you’ll find all the knowledge you need to write SQL statements in this tiny book. One of my favorite free online resources for SQL code is W3Schools. They have some pretty great SQL quizzes you can try out too! Once you’re ready to ramp things up and become a true SQL expert, consider signing up for my 30-day One Month Learn SQL course . During the course, you’ll learn to read, write, query, and analyze data using 20+ of the most popular SQL commands.…

Meaghan Jones ( @meaghanwonder ) graduated from UC Berkeley with a Masters in Latin America Studies. Having grown up in California, Meaghan always dreamed of working and living abroad. She loved Latin America, and so "Latin American Politics" seemed like her to working abroad! She arrived in Brazil, and hit a wall. At first, Meaghan had a difficult time getting work. She ended up teaching English for a few months, but always had the feeling that she could be doing something more, she wanted to work somewhere that she could continue actively learning on the job, and she wanted a job that matched her creative potential. Meaghan returned to the States, and that’s when she joined Epicodus, a coding bootcamp in Portland, OR. Meaghan worked hard, and learned to code in just 6 months. Since graduating from Epicodus 's coding bootcamp Meaghan has landed a job at Hotjar, working remotely from San Paolo, Brazil. (Meaghan is also One Month alumni!
