Well... The one thing that I "did" learn from that video... is to 'speed listen'... lol

He made a lot of sense... now, how much of it will 'sink in' and thereby be effective, will rely purely on my ability (or inability) to comprehend... lol

He is right though... 'no pain, no gain'... now, all I have to do is overcome my allergy towards pain... lol

Thanks for the video!

I felt that actually learning a language was the easy part. The hardest part of learning to code is learning how to translate your tasks into something the computer can do.

The hardest parts are:

1. Learning to sea the code in non-linear order.
2. Learning to create a complex data structure that will be the most logical and effective for the task.

know what original author do, even if you know language...

aka wannaBe developer ;D

Vast majority of professional developers do exactly this - working with someone else's code. Maintaining, modifying or improving it.
