I'm an ex-music industry turned tech professional and on this channel, we explore all things personal growth, career development, and coding. I hope you can kick back as I share my approach to building a happier and healthier life and career.
I know html and css, just started JavaScript. I know the basics, should I stop learning it and go straight into a framework. And what framework is best? Next.js or react?
One of the fastest ways to get work is WORDPRESS especially if you learn Custom theme building etc. Everyone loves to hate PHP and Wordpress but i swear. Everyone i have ever taught, has gotten a job withing 3-6 months of learning(assuming you attack it like a maniac!). But yeah.......... Good luck devs
So I saw others hadn't responded to starting their journey a month ago. I'm beginning now. Check with me later down the road, I'll update my progress. I just finished A Premier Course & it was okay I just didn't learn as much as a I had hoped I would so hoping this is better. STARTING 5/13/2024
my problem, my BIG problem is that i know how to use: html, css, js, react js, next js, typescript and tailwind BUT: i suck at CSS/tailwind. I have 0 problems with HTML and JS and i know css and tailwind but when it comes to CSS and tailwind i lack control when it comes to positioning things exactly how i want. Using flexbox i know how to put things on the right, center, left for example but when i want something to be in a specific position like exactly below something else, i just can’t move it properly. That’s why i end up using position: relative and then move the element using top, bottom, left, right. This is not how pros do it though.
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
dude please make your channel private, or on subscribers only. i don't want more people to know about you, i have seen your channel pretty genuine , i am on my studying phase i don't want everyone to take job opportunities away so when my time will arrive , I will be empty handed. 😭😭😭😭
@@mannyleemiller dude I am 20 honestly my experience with this world is worst. I try my best to make things right but in the end they turn out to be worse. I don't have a single a good memory in my brain. So that's why I was saying that
@@mannyleemiller oh no thanks‼️ I am Muslim, I can't make relations with man outside of marriage. Since I am single I have to stay loyal with my upcoming future husband so bye!
I highly recommend doing the odin project. It's really good but also a little tough because it's text based and you're gonna be doing a lot on your own.
Man... this is good advice and all but does this really count as more honest and straight forward than 90% of tech youtubers? I thought this was fairly basic shallow advise that I have heard from basically everybody on reddit. Don't use shortcuts, learn vanilla, google stuff yourself, don't pay tons of money for expensive courses... This is all common sense. Is common sense so incredibly uncommon that this is, like, new information to people?
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?
Certainly inspired me. From 2018-2021 I fought hard to get a graphic design gig. Came close a few times. Shot for the ground and for the stars, but nothing ever worked out for me. After 3 years of failing and being at my retail job I had to switch it up, and became a very good cook. I love cooking but the older I get the less my body can hang, and I’m trying to get back out in the design game. Today I was having thoughts about the dreaded “what if I just waste another 3 years”, and then I came across this video, and it’s certainly helped put these things into perspective. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s really helped.
He's right about all of this. I learned this way in 2020 and then built in Java and made video games in greenfoot. If you have ever used tumblr and customized your themes, check at the backend HTML that you customize and you can see what each part is doing. A great way to see how your changes affect the site in real time and what happens if you break something. Low risk, high reward; copy the orginal code in your clipboard and onto a computer stickypad/note so you can fix it and start over again/problem solve to see where you messed up.
I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention The Odin Project. One huge advantage it has over options like Freecodecamp, imo, is that it teaches you (kinda forces you, actually) to learn how to set up and use a local dev environment. It's the only web dev course I've come across that does that.
I spent 11K on a 3-month web development boot camp in 2019. For me, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I thrive with external motivators i.e deadlines, the class schedule, etc. But college was a huge slog for me, and it was hard to care about the generals. I'm also quite introverted, so the fact that it forced me to interact with other students helped a lot too. It kept me on track in a way that I would not have been able to do for myself at the time. It's not for everyone, but coding boot camps can be helpful for some. Just as an extra bit of info, I got a job after actively applying for almost a year after the boot camp ended.
what would you do if you weren't a begineer? like, i'm already a software engineer but not in web development, and i wish to migrate to this field. of course i have some basics, i'm not a complete begineer (cs degree + 1 year work experience). do you think learning the technologies would be enough or is it better to have some certification (with those 3-6 months courses)? i was thinking that it would be better to have a portfolio instead
honestly this was better than most of the influencer coder video I've seen. It's good advice to build out a site in vanilla JS and then redo it in a framework.
