📌 WHERE TO START? Front-end or Backend?
Well this may be a debatable question but I would suggest you to start with front-end development. It depends entirely on the individual but in my opinion, starting with front-end development has its advantages.
📌 WHY TO START WITH FRONT-END DEVELOPMENT?
More visual content gives you an aesthetic vibe
You can share your creations
Easier to get feedback as you can show your webpages to any non technical person as well
📌 FUNDAMENTALS ARE IMPORTANT
Don't rush! Spend some time on HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You can do pretty amazing things using these three languages. Make sure to learn and build some web pages using HTML and CSS before jumping onto JavaScript.
JavaScript is the backbone of web development, Don't rush to start with React/Angular/vue or any other front-end framework or library. I don't think we should set some time after which you can start with front-end framework. Just make sure to be develop your strong hold on the foundation.
I spent about 3-4 months with HTML, CSS and JS
📌 DOCUMENT YOUR LEARNING
Take a short note of what you learn on the daily basis will be helpful in the long term
Whenever you go for an interview or some test, you can revise through your notes
You can also share your learning, projects or anything on social media. It also helps you to be up-to-date
Write your achievements or failures while learning a specific topic, create tutorials, write article, etc
📌 WHERE TO START?
I always recommend start with a crash course so that you can have taste of things. Later on, you can buy a course or learn by self teaching
📌 DYNAMIC FIELD
Web development is a constantly evolving field. To be a great developer, you need to stay updated. Almost daily, we come across with new concepts, technique, framework, library, designs, etc. So as to survive strongly in this world, you should be updated
In order to keep up with these, You can read latest article, watch YouTubers, be active on social media, etc. It will be more beneficial if you can put new concepts into practice. It will help you to understand a specific concept more accurately and effectively
📌 THERE IS ALWAYS A SLIGHT MARGIN TO IMPROVE
You can't be perfect in this field but you can try to be. Always be open to learn new things, as this is the vast field learning new techniques always pays off
📌 BE POSITIVE
During your journey you will face many challenges. But it does not matter. What matters is your attitude towards your problems. I started learning programming on my old PC. I used to write code in my phone as well. But I didn't give up
Frustration is the basic side effect of coding. Just take a break. No need to burden yourself.
This all may sound like a little hectic but it's actually not.
Do not burden yourself. Just try to code daily so that you can develop consistency inside you. Does not matter for hours or minutes
