Balancing Gamification and Real-World Coding Skills

Send a text and I may answer it on next episode (I cannot reply from this service 😢)

Dr. Junaid Akhtar is content architect at Educative and an expert in the science of education and specifically, learning to code. 

In this episode we discuss:

- what most people get wrong about learning to code and learning in general
- the best way to stay motivated
- why 10,000 hours to master a subject is BS
- project-based learning and why developers do best with this strategy

Dr. Junaid is the kind of person more new coders should be listening to. His advice is based on years of experience as both an educator and a software engineer. He gets it.
