- Thanks for watching! If I can do it, you can too. I made a similar video on my old channel a while back and I felt like it needed updates so I decided to film this new version!

I'm also a music producer, but I started learning frontend development from scratch at the beginning of last year. I landed my first freelance job yesterday, and in a few weeks, I have an interview for a full-time position as an Angular developer.
Update?
How did it go?
how did it go?
Congratulations mann
Congrats
Thank you for sharing your story!
Great story, happy for you! thank you for sharing
This is literally so good 😊
This was really inspiring ❤
Thank you for this! It's sooo encouraging😭
Dude you're a life saver. Well done.
thanks man, currently learning html css and bootstrap after I finish those courses im gonna practice javascript and reactjs.
Very inspiring! I'm gonna adopt that motto...Persistence trumps talent every single time!
This is a great video, so many I’ve seen are repetitive, all over the place and vague. This is detailed well and stays on point.
That's a subscribe my guy. Was doing music also... but before I graduated, right during March-April 2020 upon my graduation... i had a remote graduation... couldn't even start my career and everything I learnt in the past 3 years. Here I am now coding and learning continually. Your story gives me hope. It's inspirational and realistic. THANK YOU! You're doing good! Keep going Dylan!! 🙏🏽💯🚀
Congrats bro
I’m going a somewhat different path. I’ve been self taught for 8-9 months and recently I’ve felt lost and lacked direction. Then I looked into my local community college which I previously graduated from in a completely different degree and they recently opened an IT building. I’m going back to cc to complete an it associates with a programming concentration so I can get more firm direction while working extensively on the side on my self taught journey which is building my portfolio. I am well ahead of the game already and this video pushed me further as recently I kept bouncing from going for cs degree or bootcamp which both can be great but I don’t want to fork out all of that money and University is just too much time lost for potentially not much of a gain given my experience. Granted I have a lot and I mean a lot to learn but I have the discipline to stick to self taught but this associates will be short, very little cost and I can get some better direction while simultaneously building my portfolio. I’m so excited and this video reaffirmed my plan. Thank you!
Thanks for this video 🙏
great story! thanks for sharing
Nice one, good luck amigo
Great motivational video Dylan! I am starting the journey as a full-stack developer and will definitely check the Udemy resources you suggested.
I love this story. I have been saying I want to jump into this field and this is my sign
Dope story!
Same here. I started 3 months ago. Looking for another 6-7 months of learning and landing my first Front-End developer position
How goes it now?
Great testimony
Everytime I feel like I'm getting nowhere, videos like this are a reminder of how far I've come
Thanks for sharing
True
Needed this rn
I was just getting ready to ask you about LinkedIn when you mentioned to keep it updated.
Social media makes me straight up miserable. I had an account when LinkedIn was new and got rid of it. I was hoping to gain tech entry without it but one program I signed up for required an account.
I'm hearing all this about networking on there and I feel very much like it's selling my soul. Not to mention, people I thought I was cool with, won't add me. And industry gatekeepers say you need a lot of connections to "appear" hireable.
I like how down to Earth and relatable your career switch sounds though. Makes me feel like I can do it. Trying to get the hang of this JavaScript and React stuff at the moment.
LinkedIn is a great tool but shouldn't be relied on. Always great to keep it updated though. And thanks :) I try to keep it real!
I understand your pain for commute. I was doing 3 hours when I first enter the workforce and its detrimental to your health.
Nice! I started teaching myself before the pandemic and I got a job working at walmart after about 2 years but Iost the job after 6 months because they wanted me to move to LA. I'm back in square one. Lol. 4 year in.
I don't know why, but music production prepared me for coding , stay hour on a daw and learn is not that different than studyng coding, so now it feel so natural
Can you make a video teaching the pomodoro technique in depth?? Thanks for these videos!
Really appreciate your videos it's not only helpful for aspiring developers like us but also a great source of motivation. Please keep on upload video it's extremely helpful 😇
Thanks for the words! Glad you resonate. Honestly, I'm still learning so let's learn together 🙂
Yea, you got it from the very beginning. Everything is free already.
I have been a lazy bum. I need to really apply this. Who's with me?
"Presistence triumphs over talent", uh? Gotta repeat it myself every day from now on.
Good to see you! And that's right. I still do...
Is there a video where you outline how your skills develop AFTER you started working in tech? Or were you doing mostly the same things and just new job opportunities came about?
Great video
Where did you start freelancing , how was your first payment ?
Hey Dylan, how old are you at the first job as a programmer ?
Great
How about talking about software architects?
Appreciate the video! I'm a few months into my self-taught programming route. I've learned some of c, some of c++, and then most of html and css. Are you saying you got a job with just html css and javascript?
That's awesome! And yeah, I've gotten multiple jobs with a knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS. It sort of just depends on the companies and roles you're applying to.
@@dylancole_314 That's so encouraging! Did you put the websites you built on your resume as projects to show employers?
@@ebengardner2429 That I did! I actually just filmed a video about this - it'll be out soon so keep an eye out.
@@dylancole_314 will do! Subscribed (:
I need to find a way to make money so I can buy this course
But how much does your current job pay????
What do you recommend when learning from FCC. Should i do extra projects when learn from them
This is the course that I took:
www.freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/responsive-web-design/
I highly recommend it. And yeah, extra projects = great idea. It's a good way to solidify what you learn in the course(s).
Persistence Triumphs Talent!! Unless your in the music industry! lol
i can not find your linkedin profile
seems like a lot of self taught guys learned in 2020 after covid began
Hello there, greetings from Finland 😎🫡🇫🇮 Im also started learning web development on my own for couple of months now and got 2 courses from Udemy pretty cheap on sale
Planning to switch jobs from this ** grocery store job which is a dead end...
Currently just am doing the little "pig game project" (from the JavaScript course by Jonas Schmedtmann I think)
and after that i think I could start to implement these techniques to my own projects... 😎🥸
Your success has given me little more motivation. Gongratulations again ! 👍👍👌🙂
Hey Dylan love your dedication towards content.. but your Thumbnails are not that appealing..i can send you a few redesigned thumbnails for your channel let me know if it sounds good !
Promo SM 💃
"A degree or a bootcamp is not necessary, and I am living proof...So after I graduated from COLLEGE I went on and...." LMAO
Hey Dylan, loved your content. I have also started learning to code. I started with HTML, now learning CSS on my own plus I'm learning Python at University as I'm a CS student in Pakistan. Also, I subscribed and followed you on Insta. Hoping to get career advice from you. :)
Thank you for your kind words and thank you thank you thank you for the support! I hope to give you as much of my knowledge, skills, and advice as I can. It's great to hear that you're learning all these technologies. All amazing skills to have.
Would you please share your LinkedIn id sir?
