Degree vs Self-Taught vs Bootcamp - DON'T CHOOSE WRONG

Описание: Degree vs Bootcamp vs Self-Taught Programmer.

The most common question I get is “how do I learn to code with zero experience” closely followed by “should I go to college and get a Computer Science degree?”

Everyone has their own opinions on these questions. Let me give you my take. I will examine the three broad categories (degree vs Bootcamp vs self-taught) and consider which one may be right for you given your situation and conclude with what I would personally do if I were starting over from zero.

So, is a computer science degree worth it and how to get started learning to code?

In an ideal world, you want a way to become good at coding that is cheap, doesn’t take years to complete and still gives you the best chance at landing interviews & eventually passing them.

In reality, as you can probably guess, if there were a path that maximised all of those three factors, there wouldn’t even be a debate on where to start. After all, everyone would just choose that path and “where to learn to code” wouldn’t even be a debate.

But in the tech industry, there really isn’t such a clear path which is precisely why here this question is relevant. So let me first break down the three popular categories, college vs Bootcamp vs self-taught in terms of these factors.

Spoiler alert, I am personally self-taught, and that is still the path I would probably choose if I were starting over (with a slight caveat, I’ll explain in a moment..). But if you choose to learn coding on your own, the question simply becomes:

“ok, so which resources should I use to learn coding on my own?”
This is where time cost comes in. You don’t want to spend potentially months going through a suboptimal course or resource even if they are cheap or free. So at the end, I will also give you the resources that I would use if I were starting over specifically with the self-taught route.

WHO AM I?
This channel documents my life as a Self-Taught Software Engineer as well as my journey teaching myself Computer Science & Programming. When I graduated from university I was still completely lost as to what I really wanted to do. I always had an interest in technology, so I decided to start learning how to code with zero experience, and after just 4 months I had a job offer.
