js was a library back then that was popular. And then I did some research and I realized there is some demand for a backbone course. And after he published it, I think I hardly made $100. It took me about three weeks to create that two hour course. I show them a lot of tricks, a lot of shortcuts, how to navigate in the code in Visual Studio. First, I created a course that was two hours long, called double your coding speed. So I decided to live off my savings for about three months. And I thought maybe this is a good opportunity for me to give this a try before looking for a new job. recording software until a point where I quit my job. And I wanted to do this for a long time, but I really never had time for it. I was working full time as a software engineer. All I wanted was just $500 extra in my bank account. Well, initially, I was thinking of doing that as an extra way to make income. So I'm curious what made you want to start teaching online? I also have a blog under the same name, and a coding school at code with Marsh comm where you can find a bunch of courses on web and mobile application development.Īwesome. I have a YouTube channel with almost half a million subscribers called program with marsh. Anyway, four years ago, I started teaching online. And after a few years everybody hated it. Then later on classic ASP came that was revolutionary. We had CGI, so I had to learn how to program at a very low level in c++. The web development technologies we had back then were very different from what we have these days. And that basically changed my life and my career. So it was the beginning of the web industry. But back then the game industry wasn't that big in Iran where I grew up. And that dream drove me to study the Bachelor of Science in software engineering in year 2000. So I was a perfectionist from a very young age. I wanted to become a programmer, so I could build a game for myself the way I want it. And I used to play a lot of video games on that. I would love if you could tell us a bit about your background and your story. I'm really excited to talk with you today. Hey Mosh, thank you so much for coming on the show. In this interview, we're going to be talking about teaching yourself tech skills, how to stay motivated when something doesn't do well straight away, and why college education may not be the best route to becoming a software engineer. That's why I wanted him to come on the show. And I was so impressed with the quality of his courses. Mosh was a partner recently in our ultimate tech career toolbox bundle. He teaches JavaScript Python, C sharp and more.

In today’s episode, we talk about the pros and cons of college, the other free and cheap resources out for self-teaching, how you can learn on the job, things to consider if you want to work for yourself, and more.ĭisclosure: I’m a proud affiliate for some of the resources mentioned in this article. As he’s grown as a developer over the years and started teaching courses himself through Code With Mosh, he’s come to believe a college degree is not the best option for everyone. Mosh Hamedani got his Bachelor of Science in software engineering back in 2000, during the beginning of the tech industry when these alternatives were not plentiful. That answer is going to be different for everyone, but it’s important for potential students to consider the pros and cons of college and know their alternatives. In an era where self-education opportunities are plentiful and cheap, there’s a question on a lot of minds: is it worth going to college?
