Congratulations! The first steps of becoming a web developer is to prepare yourself for the adventure, get your affairs in order, and pack your bags.
1. This is going to be a long adventure, make sure to set aside atleast 1-2 hours daily to travel forward.
2. Sharpen your sword: learn how to learn: Corsera: learning-how-to-learn
3. keep your stamina: make sure to keep your body healthy by drinking enough water, eating healthy, stretch, workout, take breaks and enjoy life to keep your stamina up!
1. First things first you have to learn the basics: computers, the internet, and coding: HarvardX CS50
2. Keep your skills trained! your skills degrade over time and if low enough can dissapear for good, so train them each daily: Anki
3. Optional: Join a guild! My reccomendation: 100Devs!
This is where you begin to make choices for yourself, there are multiple ways to learn and places to learn, it is time to pick your own path.
1. My personal choice as this is where I started my journey: Shay Howe
2. My second choice: Free Code Camp
3. My third choice: Odin Project
4. Do it all!: Do options 1, 2 and 3.
Your adventure is not done alone, you will NEED to find aquantances, allys, and friends to make it to the end.
1. Your going to need to search out for others, a good first place is to join a guild, My reccomendation: 100Devs!
2. Search for others in public places, I personally reccomend joining Twitter, LinkedIn, and Github.
If you have completed all other tasks, and have made it up to this point Congratulations!!
You have finished the tutorial and you are ready to go off on your own! but here are some tips.
