EP31 - Functions in JavaScript

Embarking on the journey to learn coding can be both exciting and challenging. Unfortunately, several misconceptions often deter aspiring programmers from pursuing their goals.

In this episode, I'll debunk six common myths about learning to code and provide valuable insights to help you overcome potential roadblocks.

One prevailing myth is that you need to be a math genius to succeed in coding. However, in reality, coding doesn't require advanced math skills. Most coding tasks involve basic arithmetic, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Problem-solving and logic are far more critical in coding.

Don't let past academic performance dictate your coding journey. Being a poor student in traditional subjects doesn't mean you can't excel in coding.

Coding offers diverse paths, from front-end development to back-end development and more. Find the niche that suits your interests and strengths.

Learning to code is an achievable goal for anyone with the dedication and determination to overcome common misconceptions.

Tune in to this episode to learn of the common misconceptions that often lead people to quit their coding journey and how to overcome them.

In this episode we'll talk to Dustin, who is a recent graduate from the Coders Campus Bootcamp and managed to land a job within two months of starting the search.

Dustin and I talk about his prior coding experience that he had before he joined our Bootcamp (spoiler: it wasn't much at all), and we talk about his experience as he went through the curriculum.

Ultimately we know how his story turned out, but in this special interview we'll learn about HOW he was able to accomplish the task of completing the Bootcamp and landing a job while also being a father of a 2 year old, a husband, a full-time employee and part-time college student.

We'll also learn about the important lessons that Dustin learned once he began his job search, and what mistakes he was making early on before he pivoted his approach, which then lead to the job that he was offered.
