I am currently up skilling so that I can teach my students how to code. Currently we have a new curriculum in australia call Digital Technologies and it is really fun and interesting to be able to incorporate coding at a range of levels into our curriculum. So it it interesting to listen to this. Thanks

I think it's a matter of whether or not you consider yourself a lifelong learner and if you are motivated to learn something new. If you are determined enough you can do it at any age in my opinion.

Your videos are great man.  I watched a ton of ETH and various blockchain ones.  Keep it up! =)

@ivanli thanks for a great video. In your video you mentioned that: java, c# and python are best for backend programming, backend is my preference as I am very good logically and mathematicaly but not so good with visual displays such as a UI. What do you think will be the best language to learn for developing current and future blockchains? Python?

Thanks for the video and motivating others! I am currently using www.freecodecamp.org and have enjoyed it so far. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested.

Very different getting a job and working on your own projects .. do not put yourself in a position to be judged by others - DIY!

your daily vids are very valuable .. thank you!

Well , I studied Computer Science but unfortunately I quit my career 7 years ago , i started building a family and now i have 2 kids, 
Everytime i try to get back I get confused between all the new stuff came out in those 7 years, then I find myself back to 0 since I forgot . 

By the way me and my husband are following ur vids about the Ethereum for a while now on youtube . Actually u r one of the few who made it simple to understand. 


And since u have started so early I would love to put my daughter on this way

Do u recommend anything for kids to start with them ? 

Thanks @ivanli u r doing a great job

Thanks for your videos Ivan. I'm in my mid-thirties and I started learning to program in earnest about two months ago. I've made a lot of progress and hope to get programming gigs or remote work soon.

I'm taking the javascript, front-end option and I'm focusing on #VueJS, which is similar in function to React or Angular.

I haven't watched the video yet but I wanted to say thank you for your videos. Without your YouTube channel I would not have learned about Etherium, which led me down the path of Steem. I've been in here for just over three weeks and it's an awesome community so again, than you and keep up the great videos. I'll certainly follow you here too.

scary true

Hey .. older-than-30 people are people too!  I enjoy your posts.

Killer vid as always!

@ivanli

I was only a programmer when I need it, but we'll need it more and more and it's not so hard to learn as one might think!

It's important to note that even though I've been a developer for over 12 years, I learn an entirely new paradigm that makes me feel like a n00b almost every year.  For example, this year I'm trying to get familiar with the TensorFlow libraries for deep learning, and a couple of years ago I made a drastic change in my DevOps practices by incorporating Docker.  I've been using Angular for years and my next project requires React, which I've never done.  Onwards and upwards.

So someone who is just coming into programming at 30+ may be just as well as someone who has been doing it since they were a teenager.  Yes it helps to fully understand fundamentals, and it helps you learn new things faster, but honestly learning new things is the name of the game -- I spend a lot of time un-learning things also, and a lot of times being stuck in old thinking keeps you from moving forward.

do you think its worth all the effort to become a software developer ?

never too late, never wait

much appreciated!

I am learning .. and I'm OLDER THAN 30!  Don't worry and keep on programming!

wish I had the skillz

nice vid

Always thought-provoking.
