- All right, so let's discuss now the four stages

that you'll go through becoming a programmer,

can help you make better decisions for your career.

All right, welcome back, my name is Tim Buchalka

Now let's get started with the first one,

and the first one is unconscious incompetence.

So what that means is that when you're starting out,

and for example, you don't know languages,

that you want to get into for programming,

how easy and how hard these different areas are,

You know, even things like what's involved

and you're thinking okay, I want to become a programmer.

I'm interested in artificial intelligence

to get into artificial intelligence or machine learning,

or even if programming is for you at that early level.

so you may not really recognise or acknowledge to yourself

and you may think you know, but basically, to move on,

that you don't yet have all of the answers,

you really do want to acquire those skills,

basically the skills you need to basically proceed.

Now when I get asked a question from students,

students will approach me and sort of say,

well okay, I'm starting out, I've just started

my first course, so for example my Java Masterclass,

and I wanna get to artificial intelligence

and then start looking at making a decision after that.

because you don't know what you don't know

So you need to go through, get some basic training,

before you can move on, and that's why I say,

on where you're going and what you're doing.

Focus on the basics, in this particular case,

would be learning a programming language.

All right, so that's the first stage that you'll go through.

Now here, you've taken yourself to the next level.

You now know and recognise that you don't have

the skills you need to become a programmer,

or to get into that specific area of interest,

and you've recognised that there's a value there

that you're sort of acknowledging to yourself,

I've got a lot to learn, but I want them.

You know, you're really saying to yourself,

So basically, you're acknowledging to yourself

or you really don't at this point in time,

and during this process, when you acknowledge that,

you're gonna start programming and learning,

and you're gonna make tonnes of mistakes.
