I absolutely love Colt Steele! He just release a new HTML & CSS course that is absolutely amazing, and this week he released a brand new JavaScript course. I’m pairing this with Scrimba and the Odin Project
JS is going to be your main programming language and you'll spend hundreds of hours learning and relearning it. 51 hours for a course isn't bad. Backend stuff is just like that; you learn patterns by looking at patterns. But I'd say he goes farther than most instructors as he really likes to makes…
Start with HTML and CSS, then JS. Regardless of whatever course you take, look at that as study. I suggest spending 10% of your time studying, 80% building projects on your own, and the remaining 10% on review later down the line. Courses like The Odin Project and FullStackOpen focus on giving you…
Colt Steele is good--he's a proper teacher. Andrew Mead as well. But I'll say, take this as *study* not actual learning. Like lecture courses in college. Especially these general courses which are more like wide introductions that barely touch on most things. You watch these, code along…
HTML and CSS are "learn as you go" stuff. They're mostly mark-up languages and are easy enough to implement as you go along and say, "I want to make this... how do I do that?" and look it youtube and free guides. I wouldn't bother doing paid courses on them, honestly. Learn enough of Flexbox…
I've seen people ask about it, but never heard someone do their courses and whatnot. 4 months for that would be good, but it total you're looking at like well over a year--near year and a half--to be job-ready at that pace. Honestly, there's soooo much free shit out there, and teachers vary and…
I’m first of all a python developer and very reluctantly learned JS for precisely this reason. If you want to build web apps there’s unfortunately no way around knowing HTML, CSS and JS. You will also need to learn a python web app framework like Flask or Django. The good news is that you don’t…
This was my path I took a year ago. I’m currently applying for jobs, but I feel proficient enough to walk into an interview and speak to my projects and what I learned. 1) I was pissed too. I hated my boss and lost sleep over a meeting where I left feeling worthless. Whatever your fuel is don’t…
