Embarking on the journey to learn coding can be both exciting and challenging. Unfortunately, several misconceptions often deter aspiring programmers from pursuing their goals. In this episode, I'll debunk six common myths about learning to code and provide valuable insights to help you overcome potential roadblocks. One prevailing myth is that you need to be a math genius to succeed in coding. However, in reality, coding doesn't require advanced math skills. Most coding tasks involve basic arithmetic, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Problem-solving and logic are far more critical in coding. Don't let past academic performance dictate your coding journey. Being a poor student in traditional subjects doesn't mean you can't excel in coding. Coding offers diverse paths, from front-end development to back-end development and more. Find the niche that suits your interests and strengths. Learning to code is an achievable goal for anyone with the dedication and determination to overcome common misconceptions. Tune in to this episode to learn of the common misconceptions that often lead people to quit their coding journey and how to overcome them.

In this episode we'll talk about a super useful feature that was introduced back in Java version 8, known as Lambdas. The Lambda feature is something you didn't know you desperately wanted or needed until you understood it. The Lambda syntax allows you to write much cleaner and more readable code, while also empowering you to get more done with less code. In this lecture, I'll be referring to some code that you can download via this github repository. Interested in starting your coding career?
