Before Programming Course, know this.
Here are some core things to know before you start the course, during, after and becoming more employable.
Remember that the items listed here are basics. No one will expect you to know it all but some basic experience with these things will help you a lot. I really wanted this video to list core things to help you succeed on the course and then make the course work for you.
Often people hold the course and instructor accountable for their learning, but it is really all down to you. The instructor is a small part of hints and guidance, but your exercise, passion and discipline in learning are the keys to unlocking your potential.
