Official Misc Programmers/Coders/IT/Developers Terminal Vol.1

Don't bother with full stack. If you want to do it to see what you like more, try it out. BUT, don't try to come out of the gate being a full stack dev. You're going to suck. See what you like better, get good at that, then venture out.

Front-end web developer checking in. Also know my way around meteor. Currently living in LA but working remote for a company in san francisco.

If I wanted to pursue this career (front end) do you have any general advice? I have a decent foundation with html and css already, and I'm currently making a website for fun to familiarize myself with wordpress.

Assembly language!? That's awesome! I bet you love programming in that LOL

Front End Dev young professional. Graduated this spring with a CS degree. I still am learning a lot about jQuery

[sclimb]

In on this.I'm actually in a completely different major (corporate finance) but have been trying to learn on my own a bit. Definitely haven't learned much other than following tutorials on codeacademy.

Been doing html/css as well as ruby and python.

Would like to get some IT certifications as well just to always have career options.

Fuark. That's what I have to do too.

I know JS, but everyone uses JQuery still.

Brb half of the tutorials and instructions use JQuery.

These books are good would recommend to my grandkids. Got one for html and css and I'm going to get the other one for javascript/jquery. Not too heavy and the book is very visual which I like.

Will definitely check these out, haven't heard of them before.

I've been busy with finals week and courses and haven't had much time to work on anything. Over winter break hopefully I can learn quite a bit. How do you guys retain all the knowledge and how to remember the syntax for each different language? I assume just lots and lots of practice.

The first one is for Javascript/node.js/ MEAN stack. The second one is for Ruby on Rails. I'm not sure if the The Odin Project is active anymore. I know FreeCodeCamp has tons of people doing it and is updated all the time. Look at its Reddit subsection for example.

Both are free versions of 'bootcamps' that aim to take you from knowing nothing to being employable.

I'm reading through some of the Odin Project's introduction right now...the comments all seem to be pretty old so it may not be active.

I see all about those bootcamps, I guess they are not too expensive if you compare to a full bachelor's degree - I just wonder if employers actually acknowledge and hire from them?

Wordpress is old and gross. Outside of using those resources i posted on post #59 I'd say building a site is most beneficial. Start by building yourself a personal website, build an idea you have, emulate a website that isn't too crazy. You learn the most when you struggle and work through your issues.

GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND

When it comes to web development, someone else has probably already had your issue and asked about it on stack overflow.

[justdragit]

$isOPUseless = Get-UserStatus OP
IF ($isOPUseless.Status -eq "Useless") {
Stop-UserPosting -Force user=OP
} ELSEIF ($isOPUseless.Status -eq "Not Useless") {
Write-Host "LOL.. Yes, he is."
Stop-UserPosting -Force user=OP
}
END IF

[goblin6]

Why are most here focusing on front end web dev? Most amount of job openings or better salary? Or easier to get into (maybe without a formal degree)?

so true it hurts

tho in my case its more like "this is the code i wrote/this is the code someone else wrote"

There is a game on steam that makes you solve puzzles using assembly language. I tried it for about twenty minutes then said, no thanks Jeff. Chit looked crazy as fukk
