Started learning web dev at the start of 2021 for my senior year of college. Even though I was doing comp sci, I struggled with coding and couldn’t write a simple hello world web page. I now check off most of these boxes including the bonus ones and will be applying as soon as I finish up my last portfolio project. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, just take it day by day and the progress will add up.
same situation, started web dev this summer while doing physics at college, i just need to finish a react project from frontendmentor for the portfolio and i think i will be ready to get a job as junior and leave college, good luck to everybody it's tough sometimes but don't give up !
i am also doing cs and the most problem i have for now is i want to land a job in IT in the meantime but we have lots of archaic stuff and it's just hard to learn front-end when you have to pass data structures and alghoritms in pascal.
to tell you the truth when i start to watch this video i was feeling overwhelmed, i was about to close this video until i saw you message, thanks buddy. i just need to watch a friendly video exactly like you comment.
@@GoldoMania. believe me, I felt the same way. Just aim to learn at least one new thing a day (no matter how small) and by December, you will be amazed at how much progress you made. Good luck! You can do this :)
After you learn basic html,css, JavaScript (free coding boot camp) then randomly pick contemporary websites then reverse engineer them..After you learn to reverse then you will feel comfortable solving any problems with the said languages..Front end speaking of course..what you don’t want to do is waste your time practicing coding with things people do not need like calculators and snake games..stay abreast with front end by reverse engineering an you will not have to worry about anymore coding boot camps and online courses..hope that helps
Started during the pandemic lockdown in 2020 at 36 years old and I think I made noticeable progress. I ve managed to build simple small business management app for a friend with vue js. Then rebuilt it in react. I know my code is somehow still messy but it feels good to build something actually. I hate to say that but I honestly regret not started at my 20s at least. I enjoy coding an learning to code. I am working now on some projects decent enough to put on my portfolio. And hope have success freelancing as here in Morocco things are harder to switch carreers especially as a self taught. I ve finally found something I can enjoy for the rest of my life.
Your HTML slide has some wrong information, , , etc are semantic elements. Others like , , etc are non-semantic. The difference between a semantic and non-semantic element is that the element itself describes the content in it. A is a high level header, and is a paragraph, whereas the content of these could also be within a or element, but the elements would no longer describe the content.
This was priceless. Introduced me to BEM and I'm early in my CSS / Stack education. I'm going to pour BEM into my coffee everyday and out of the gate come away with well structured CSS. Thank you. I'll now continue the video and see what other juicy tidbits I can extract from this presentation.
Thanks for this! Doing the self taught route with anything can be unsettling without knowing the beginnings and ends of what you NEED to know. I appreciate the perspective 👍🏾
Tbh I don’t know most of the things being said here as I just got started on this and now working on getting a deep understanding for html and css before I move on but imma keep coming back and check most of them. 20 years old chose this over going to Uni we’ll see where it leads
Pretty intimidating stuff if you just shove it around complete beginners mouth I think. All of these things is really take at least maybe a year or two to learn, realistically speaking. Meanwhile having a solid understanding of the 3 fundamentals like html, css, javascript could take you a long way if you just started apply to small company. It's like a list of dreams an employer have for their future employees.
Yes, you are spot on! Not all companies hire equally. Moreover, we all learn at different paces so tying any of these to a timeline isn't something I wanted to do.
@@bookercodes I saw on the website that getting at least 50% would make me around entry level. Still a lot of work but definitely breathed a sigh of relief after that. So much to learn.
I made a video about that: ua-cam.com/video/vxgjbqMGObg/v-deo.html Basically, it's nonsense and you should apply anyway provided you meet some of the other requirements!
@@bookercodes Being 30 now and studying web development it is my biggest fear job hunting after, I wished I had started in my 20's because less responsibilities and therefor can take time getting the job they want , I don't have that luxury . I have had maybe 10-20 jobs since i was 14 so i have work experience but nothing like web development , My only hope to stand out is my office experience , team experience and work expectations already being inbuilt from my previous jobs. This is all affecting my studies too because I am trying to learn everything I can but at the same time it is so much to learn , I'm currently taking C# , HTML , CSS but learning the basics may not be enough for a job. When i code using these i always wonder to what end?, how deep can this code go? what are its limitations ? how can I simplify this? and then i get bogged down by those questions.
Hey. Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know anything related to website development so I recently hired a web developer from Carrot to create a website for me and an app. I have really liked their work and would highly recommend that. Having said that learning new things have always been something I like so I am looking forward to learning this skill too. :)
I checked off most all of these boxes and still can't get a job. I'm starting a contractor role soon that's for installing computer hardware so I might just try applying to alot of places next year.
To be honest I did have a databases section in the checklist originally but I removed it. I agree, it would be good to understand how different databases compare to one another but it's far from essential for a front end Web Developer.
In a sense, you are right! In most cases, Senior is more to do with how you work on a team, if you can mentor others, etc. Of course, if you MASTER everything on the list, you're well on your way.

I am doing your front-end developer path and I am learning so much from it!
That is terrific to hear!

By reverse engineer, you mean to clone them?
This was very enjoyable to watch. Scrimba is one of my favorite education sources.
Really happy to hear that!
I would like to thank you taking the time out and making the checklist. I am very passionate about technology.
You're welcome mate!

Wow. Thanks to this, helps me feel more motivated😊
Just discovered this channel.. I can’t believe the courses are free!! Can’t wait to sit down and go through these 😃

Thanks for letting me know Jack. Glad you are getting value from this!
Just learn tailwind bro
This is so valuable. Literally copying this down and checking off what I know and don’t know I can’t wait to see how I measure up to this checklist
Thanks for this! Doing the self taught route with anything can be unsettling without knowing the beginnings and ends of what you NEED to know.
I appreciate the perspective 👍🏾
Completely agree. That was my experience exactly so now I am in an better position I am glad I can help!

I was around that age when I was learning to become a Junior Developer. You've got this!
Keeping this bookmarked to check monthly
Great idea to measure your progress from time to time. Wishing you all the best on your coding journey and in 2022!
Thanks for the list, gonna go through it again tomorrow!
Great! Let me know what you think!
2:55 The subliminal Morse Code message is coming through loud and clear.
😅
Dude this is so cool! Thanks!!

Is it just me or has anyone saw there's a glitch starting 2:54? Anyways, awesome vid!
Ahaha yes no idea where that came from
Can't believe it's the only obvious mistake in a 35 minute video!
Great channel on UA-cam. Thanks for making amazing videos 🙂
Awesome list and awesomely explained 😎
Thanks a lot!
@@bookercodes Most welcome
Can we have testing course in scrimba?
this is perfect. Thank you so much
Damn I guess I’ll never be ready at this rate.
You've got this! It just takes time.

@@albinosh4dow Trust the process, absolutely!
nobody wanna talk about it beeing "junior" needing 2-3 years like .. how do you even get 10mins experience in a job
I made a video about that: ua-cam.com/video/vxgjbqMGObg/v-deo.html
Basically, it's nonsense and you should apply anyway provided you meet some of the other requirements!

Get the skills then intern somewhere.. I am sure this helps, I am also Starting myself and hope things will go well..

Why is Reyes contentious when extracting string from url , great vid btw
This is a very true but extremely overwhelming informative video. XD
Anyone done Stef Mischook's Web Developer course?
Literally just listed my major without gen Eds nice
What do you mean?
I'm a lot closer to job ready than I thought, wow. I still have lots of work to put in though.
I checked off most all of these boxes and still can't get a job. I'm starting a contractor role soon that's for installing computer hardware so I might just try applying to alot of places next year.
Sounds like you have a good plan ✊ I am rooting for you!
do you have a portfolio?
can you do some videos about software development too and machine learning data analysis and cryptography and finally cryptocurrencies?
I will add them to the idea list!
Very nice, but what about SQL/NoSQL and ORMs? Deployment, Cloud? :)
To be honest I did have a databases section in the checklist originally but I removed it. I agree, it would be good to understand how different databases compare to one another but it's far from essential for a front end Web Developer.
Scrimba is helpful.
Is AJAX still relevant these days?
Yes and no. When you use `fetch` you're basically doing AJAX. Somehow, I haven't heard the term in a long while though!
Great video thanks for this !
You're welcome Rudy 🙏
I' say if u master all these you're more of a senior front end developer not junior.
In a sense, you are right!
In most cases, Senior is more to do with how you work on a team, if you can mentor others, etc. Of course, if you MASTER everything on the list, you're well on your way.
@@bookercodes It'd be really cool if u can make a video explaining what u think is the difference between junior mid and senior devs at some point
thanks im gonna use html to hack nasa now
Hahaha
