When I waslearningWebdevelopment, I wouldpickonlyprojectsthat I wasinterestedincreating, andthatgavemethepassionanddrivetogoaboveandbeyond.
When I wascreatingthoseprojectstoreallylearntheintricatedetailsofwhatever I waswantingtolearn, becauseif I wasn't passionateabouttheproject.
I wouldhavegivenup a soonas I hit a reallydifficultroadblockorobstacleinmypath.
Thenextmostpopularquestionthat I getaskedisWhatwasmyinspirationforstartingmychannel?
Butdeathsimplified, andit's a fairlydifficultquestiontoask, becausetherewas a lotofinspirationgoingintothecreationofthechannel.
Butitallboilsdownto a fewspecifictopics, whichisthat A.
I enjoyoneDevelopment B.
I enjoyedteachingpeopleaboutanything, andsince I ampassionateaboutwhatdevelopmentandenjoyteaching, I figured, whynotteachlovedevelopment?
Andthird, I'vealwayslikedworkingformyselfmorethan I'velikedworkingforsomeoneelseat a company.
Sostarting a YouTubechannelisthewaythat I canpotentiallyworkformyselfwithouthavingtoworkforsomeoneelse.
Butmostlyitisjustmydesireto a teachandmypassionforWebdevelopmentthatreallymademewanttobringtogetherthisWebhavesimplifiedchannel.
Also, itwasslightlybuiltaroundfrustrationsofwhen I waswatchingYouTubechannelsandlearningWebdevelopment.
There's certainthings I'venoticedallthetimeindifferenttutorialsthat I personallydidn't like.
So I wantedtocreatemyownchannelright?
Couldcreatecontenttutorialsthatdidn't havethethings I didn't likeandonlyfocusedonthethingsthat I likeformylearningexperience.
Anotherquestionthat I seeallthetimeinthecommentsmyvideosisif I haveanycoursesonyoutomeetorsomeotherteachingplatformssuchasyoutomeandtheanswercurrentlyisno.
But I doplantorelease, ofcourse, tosometeachingplatform, whetherthatyou, tomeorsomewhereelsebytheendof 2019.
HopefullybySeptemberismygoal.
I'm alsocurrentlyworkingon a completelyfreefullstackWebdevelopmentcoursethat'llbecomingoutonthischannelin a coupleweeks, andthatisreallykindof a pilotformetoseewhatworksandwhatdoesn't workwhenitcomestoteachingwithdevelopmenton a largescale.
Ofcourse, since I'veneverdoneanythingquitethoselargebefore, so I wanttotackleitin a freemannerso I couldgettonsoffeedbackfromyouall, andthen I cantakethatfeedbackandcraft.

Also, ifyouhaveanysuggestionsforwhatcoursewouldbethatyouwouldliketosee, letmeknowdowninthecommentsbelow, because I'd lovetohearyourfeedbackonwhatyouwanttoseein a futurecourse.
Thenextquestionwehaveiswhetherornot I amselftaught.
Andif I amselftaught, whatisthemostdifficultaspectofbeing a selftaughtdeveloper?
Andhisansweris a bitof a yesandnoforme.
I didgotoschoolforfouryearswith a computerengineeringdegreeandlearned a lotofthebasicsofprogrammingthroughthatdegreeofcomputerengineering.
Butwhiletakingthatdegree, I taughtmyselfWebdevelopmentonthesidebecausethat's reallywhat I found.
I wassuperpassionateaboutwhen I firstdabbledinit, andtheydidn't reallyteachwhatdevelopmentatmyschoolatall.
So I learnedalmosteverythingthat I knowabout.
WebdevelopmentthroughYouTubevideosbogpostandprojectsthat I createdthat I wasinterestedintheactualfundamentalsofprogramming.
Luckily, I wasabletolearnin a morestructuredenvironmentat a college, buttheactualWebdevelopmentecosystemwassomething.
I hadtotakeitonmyownandfigureoutthroughmyself.
So I wouldsaythatthemostdifficultpartaboutbeingselftaughtisnothavingthatactualotherforceoutsideofyouforcingyoutodothelearning.
I knowthatwhen I was a school, itwasveryeasytolearntheprogrammingbecause I wasforcedto a homework.
I hadtest.
I hadtodoitandthere's nowayofgettingaroundit.
I hadtonsofmoneyhadpaidtodoit, so I justhadtodoitwhen I wasteachingmyselfWhatdevelopment?
Thereisnothingtellingme I hadtodoitotherthanmyself.
Soif I had a badday, a lazydayand I didn't wanttodoWebdevelopment, I wasn't forcedtodoitasifitwasschool.
Soit's reallydifficult.
