How to learn programming (for beginners)

In this video, I shared my approach to learning how to code. This video is for total beginners in software development so if you don't know where to start it's a good source of some pointers.

I answered a few common questions which I see many beginners in software development often have. I shared how to narrow down your goals for learning and how to use these goals to focus on necessary topics. I explained different areas where you can work and what skills they require. I also shared my favorite resources and gave some tips about the learning process. Enjoy!
