If you opened this email then that means you may have some gaps in your skills and the house is a bit wobbly right now. I'm here to tell you exactly why you feel that way and how to start fixing it right now!
Hi, it's Caleb from CodeBreakthrough! If you'd like to unsubscribe from the newsletter, unsubscribe here.
Let's address the real issue - the bigger the house, the stronger the foundation needs to be.
Often times you'll realize how much time is wasted on struggling through code, wanting to smash your laptop in the wall because you were stuck on something you believe you should have known by now. This struggle clearly shows a lack of understanding at the fundamental level. It's about a rule many people ignore.
80% of what you will have to use in software engineering, is found in the fundamental knowledge, the core concepts.
When you're just starting out, focus like this:
80% - Building a solid foundation
20% - Mastery of topics
Once you've locked in the fundamentals, you're free to focus 100% on mastery. But if you ignore the basics, you'll never become a master.
Often times we like to skip important fundamentals because we want to move onto "more complex" stuff. Well, what if I told you that's straight up wrong and that's why so many devs are struggling right now?
What if instead of struggling with complex topics too early you could build complex systems with less noise, less redundancy, and use more fundamental knowledge to come up with a much better, more efficient solution. A solution that doesn't take you hours or days to figure out? The other 20% of what you will learn will take you 80% of your career, that's called mastery. This is not the main focus when you're early in your career.
True mastery comes from deeply understanding the core concepts, so that you can get to mastery level much sooner and easier. That 80% Foundational Mastery is the strong foundation needed for that 20% skyscraper building. Without this, that building will keep collapsing and you will feel like you are starting from scratch each time you start a project.
This common theme, that I see with many of my students, people in my community... is exactly why I am launching my new course - Software Engineering Fundamentals!
Early Access - 30% off this week ONLY!
I am opening early access fo my upcoming course "Software Engineering Fundamentals", hop on this early bird opportunity and save some money this week before we close the deal and launch it officially for the full price.
No Coupon code required, you can visit this link to get early access.
Are you ready to become a successful six-figure software developer? This is your chance!
Learning the fundamentals on your own can lead to countless wasted hours on bloated books, random articles, and outdated courses. This approach is not only inefficient, but also ineffective for landing a job or building your own software company.
Right now you may feel like you're scouring the internet for random articles and videos without any structure or goals. That ends here!
Yes, learning software engineering is challenging, but my new fundamentals course simplifies the journey by providing a structured plan from start to finish.
Consider this your computer science degree in a nutshell.
We build multiple examples and projects throughout this course.
A few examples of what we will build include a live markdown portfolio:
and a full stack note taking app from scratch:
What You'll Learn:
- Foundational theory of computing
- Most important computer hardware
- Types of programming languages and software
- Number systems
- Building resilient and secure software
- How to use the terminal and the most important commands
- How to set up your editor for efficient development
- How to start writing code and manage it all with version control (Git and GitHub)
- Markdown and software documentation
- Building and deploying your first portfolio site
- How to code. From "hello world" to intermediate software engineer.
- Databases and web development fundamentals
