get jobs, I lose my own job!

DO ALL
THE EXERCISES!
The single most important piece of advice I have
Don't Just Copy
It's very easy to go through this course, mindlessly
typing what I type. Ask questions. Study! Practice!

Treat this like a bootcamp rather than a series of videos.

OW!
Take your time!
Many students want to rush through the course, but
remember this is 10-12 weeks of full-time coursework.

Slow down and focus on learning and practicing the


concepts, rather than rushing to complete sections.
Don't panic
Almost everyone hits a rough patch in the course at
some point. Don't let it discourage you. It's normal!
DO NOT SPIN
YOUR WHEELS!
Take breaks!
Please take breaks away from the course and
ideally away from the computer. This course is a lot!

At my bootcamps, we go for walks, play ping pong,


and pet the class dogs. If we don't take breaks,
I can immediately see the impact on students.
