Hello everybody, welcome to another episode of Syntax, Scott,

and I are here today to talk all about advice for newbies.

So we've sort of compiled a whole bunch of the wisdom that

we've gained over the years and sort of like things that we've noticed over the

years of actually teaching people who are new to programming and we're sort of just

going to do a brain dump of all the advice that we have as well as I tapped my Twitter

crowd for some of the advice that they have as well and some terrible advice on there but

also some really good advice that that has coming through.

So we're going to kick it off and chat with Scott.

How you doing today, Scott?

Oh, we're doing super good.

I'm excited for this week.
