Thank you @RealChrisSean

They ask shopping cart a lot these days. And for todo list, it's better to build a one where you can enter more than one input field. Companies these days are also asking for nested comments section and booking app. These are the main scenarios we keep seeing in our daily life apps.

How can anyone work 3 full times jobs? I would think he made a mistake and said full time when it was just 3 jobs.

@@Drakkarius exactly you are the only one who caught it

My bad. It was 1 full time job and two part time jobs.

@@RealChrisSean still impressive💪🏾

Yes, impressive! Glad you're teaching and guiding people now

Mmmmmm no, you won’t be back in a year with a tech job. The dream is over.

You need to be proficient in a js framework to start freelancing. If you aren't, you can try webflow until you have enough knowledge

@@nuclear6753 okay thanks for the advice

​@@nuclear6753why is a framework necessary?

@@nuclear6753 No, she/he needs to be proficient in Javascript, not on some arbitrary framework that will die in few years

A year to learn HTML and CSS? No offense, but you will be a developer by the retirement age at this pace

I have a question. Your roadmap is matching with what I have learnt so far and currently I'm practicing react after finishing the course. My question is, should I learn nextjs next? If yes, why should I learn it? Do I need to learn it?

Wow!! How long ago did you get your first job?

How did you start ?

Hahahhah I laughed so hard when I read this cause I'm half-way into front end and I'm already asking myself who in the world sent me to learn coding, I'm frustrated 😅...so which do you find less frustrating, front end or back end???

@@sharonsmart81 Backend is less frustrating for me, overall 😊

Lmao

​@@trainerzard7whats so funny?

@@callous21 I'm a PHP developer and this comment is a joke.

@@callous21 you know exactly what's funny

@@trainerzard7 im guessing its not for beginners or its no longer used?

You can’t learn data structures and algorithms if you don’t know a programming language and have no idea why you’re doing what you’re doing. You can’t do calculus before you can add.

I would self learn while looking for some thing to work on and find a way to self employ myself dont go to uni as employers only need the young fresh graduates now. Just keep self studying and if you are passionate enough then you could do things on your own. But if you in it for money an expect a degree gonna make you money then please find something else. People may tell you its not too late but at you age i dont know man it seems to be so late for me considering the rapidly changing pace of this field.

What's more important than seeking advice is to know yourself. If you think that you're a disciplined self-starter then drop out, because you really don't need a degree. If you're a person that needs structure and maybe lacks some discipline then you should stay in. Reflect and learn who you really are.

@orion8810 if I was 18 and could starter all over again? I’d go to college, get a BS in CS, then at least a masters in AI/ML or deep learning then maybe a PHD if I can’t get a job in the AI space with my masters. But again I have dyslexia so that would have been tough for me lol.

@@RealChrisSean I was thinking maybe i'd stop this year for now, try teach myself some basics and maybe reapply for a cs degree next year

@@dylan.9847 Take an year if you want to, then go for a BS in CS. Don't trust anyone saying degree isn't necessary, to some extent they're right but having a BS in CS or SE makes you stand out a lot meaning greater opportunities. Regards

Didn’t want to make the video too long but was part of the original list.

it's available to those who subscribe to my newsletter in the description.

I lost 40lbs over the last 6 months. I’m doing well thanks bud. :)

That doesn’t make sense why wouldn’t you get a job

My bad it’s available now

If in the UK I highly suggest getting a degree.

​@@RealChrisSeanYeah. Ngl I have thought of other creative ways to get into the market e.g. self study for a duration close to year and apply for jobs in other countries like Japan or Malaysia for peanuts and then come back to the UK with the experience. But why gamble with your future and do the bare minimum when you know how tough things are right now? In a tough market you need to do the absolute maximum to stand out - degree and self study/practical coding. I am confident 5 years ago the bare minimum might have worked because the stories are abundant. So many times on Reddit I see comments from old timers saying that 20 years ago they picked up a bit of code, got a job and have been in the industry ever since and thus think bootcamps are revolutionary because that was kind of like their path. But that's a long time ago. Now the web development space has evolved. And when things evolve the standard only gets higher.

Ive seen plenty of jobs that don't require a degree in the UK

💯 I started my dev career with self-study, and I'm completing my comp sci degree part-time, while working as a software dev. In this market, I think folks should work on closing as many gaps as they can. I'm in the US, but going to WGU since it's more affordable and flexible. Going back to school here is such a cluster, so I thought I'd mention it.

My bad it should be in the original link in the email now

A friend of mine participated in 6 month Internship. It was like a boot camp, he learned a lot, they were satisfied with his results, but in the end didn't get him as a junior, because now no one is looking for juniors. They didn't pay him 1 cent during this 6 months :( It's insane!

​​@@ivangechev4243a CS degree and supplementing it with self study is the best way to get into the market these days. Second to that, is a degree of any sort along with self study. No degree and you will crash and burn.

Why waste 2 years of your time to not get a job? So what if it takes 3 years? It’s life changing money. But again only those willing to take a risk tend to succeed in the end and from how you sound that’s probably not you.

I personally kept going because it was the only career I could see myself in, so it didn't matter how long it took. I worked non-coding tech jobs while learning to code (like qa) and eventually made the transition. It's not all or nothing. If they want to do anything else, they should go for that. Med techs like EMTs are still in high demand.

@@RealChrisSean I got a job right after finishing my boot camp and I already have almost one year experience, but saying "The money are life changing" which is a lie that's what's bothering me. You are talking from your personal experience, but that's not the case for many people. For example in my country right now even after 1 year of working and previously 8 month of learning 8 to 12 hours a day without working and investing tons of money for the boot camp I am still earning less than a warehouse worker, so if that's life changing money idk... Yes maybe after 3rd or 4th year you will start to improve financially, but it's not going to happen for less than 2 or 3 years.. That was my point at first place! And now if you add to this 2 to 3 years another 2 years trying to even start to work in the IT you will have to wait 5 years to earn a little bit more then a normal job..

That really sounds like an issue with your foundations, immediate surroundings, or resume. What he is pushing for is quality and time with consistency as a hobby can build you a foundation to stand on that could change your life financially, not throw yourself in head first and then hope you come out of the water a dolphin.@@ivangechev4243
