CS Dojo

CS Dojo is a channel about programming and computer science made by YK, a former software developer at Google. He has also made videos about learning to code, getting a job at Google and later leaving it.

The channel mixes beginner tutorials with career advice. Its Python series starts from the very basics, and other videos explain what different programming languages are used for. Newer videos look at coding with AI tools and what they mean for software engineering. The style is friendly, simple and encouraging.

Some highlights include:

The first lesson in a Python series for complete beginners, explaining what variables are.

An overview of the three main areas where Python is used: web development, data science and scripting.

Advice on how to learn to code, including choosing resources and picking a first project.

The channel has around 1.95 million subscribers.

CS Dojo is a gentle first step for anyone wondering whether software engineering is for them. It explains both the skills and the routes into the industry. It also offers a thoughtful view of how AI is changing the work of programmers, which is useful for students choosing a course. The beginner Python videos are short and focused, so they work well alongside a GCSE or A level computer science course. The career videos give an honest view of life inside a large tech company, both the good parts and the reasons someone might leave.
