the most important skill that you need to have

that you need to get to obtain to become a programmer?

I need to learn Java, I need to learn Kotlin or C++.

It's not the computer, if you need to have the latest,

no, it's nothing to do with the hardware.

And it's not to do with working for particular places,

it's all about a very important concept, persistence.

is gonna be your number one most important skill

but you need to show persistence to succeed as a programme.

Well, the reality is, when you're starting up

learning programming, well, you're learning any skill

but particularly programming, you are gonna get frustrated

and you're going to hit the wall on many occasions

and get (mumbles) whether you don't wanna go on

or you can't figure out a solution, you're frustrated,

you wanna give up, and your brain's probably screaming

The reality is when you're learning a new skill

it's even more doubly so, perhaps triply so,

and you need to be able to persevere and push through that.

Now, I've got a blog post talking more about this

in the resources section below this video

so check that out if you wanna know more about that.

But basically, in that blog post, I outlined an example

but at my age, I haven't exactly got the world's

fastest reflexes so I get sort of shot to pieces

But when I first started this particular game,

I found that I sucked at it, for want of a better word.

I couldn't figure out what the controls were,

what to shoot or to block attack or whatever it was,

But what happened, I persisted at the game.

So I got better at it, and that's the reality.

When you persist at something, you can get better at it.

So I started to understand the key (mumbles),

this was the next (mumbles) one that has playing.

So understood the various buttons and what they did,

And I was getting further and further into the game

And the same is going to be hold true to you,

definitely hold true to you as a programmer.

that if you stick to it, things will become easier.

and perhaps you've done a bit of programming

and you've hit a wall or you've got to the stage

where you could see, if you're watching a tutorial,

it might be one of my videos or any other video out there

and you understand the concepts but you can't apply that

realise that that is of natural part of programming.

Persist that, keep it coming, immersing yourself

you'll get better at this and things will make more sense

and that you'll understand the process more.

So I can't stress this enough, persist at it,

"I am not going to give up until I master

Whatever it is that you're trying to master.

Programming language, particular technique

So if you do that and you're going to that mindset

and you keep at it, you will ultimately succeed
