  1. Hey. Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know anything related to website development so I recently hired a web developer from Carrot to create a website for me and an app. I have really liked their work and would highly recommend that. Having said that learning new things have always been something I like so I am looking forward to learning this skill too. 🙂

  2. After you learn basic html,css, JavaScript (free coding boot camp) then randomly pick contemporary websites then reverse engineer them..After you learn to reverse then you will feel comfortable solving any problems with the said languages..Front end speaking of course..what you don’t want to do is waste your time practicing coding with things people do not need like calculators and snake games..stay abreast with front end by reverse engineering an you will not have to worry about anymore coding boot camps and online courses..hope that helps

  3. This was priceless. Introduced me to BEM and I'm early in my CSS / Stack education. I'm going to pour BEM into my coffee everyday and out of the gate come away with well structured CSS. Thank you. I'll now continue the video and see what other juicy tidbits I can extract from this presentation.

  4. Tbh I don’t know most of the things being said here as I just got started on this and now working on getting a deep understanding for html and css before I move on but imma keep coming back and check most of them. 20 years old chose this over going to Uni we’ll see where it leads

  5. Self taught full stack dev here ! This dude is spot on ! Fellas, I have a high school diploma but am currently a senior software developer. Its not the easiest path and I had to prove myself over and over again, but its totally doable. Keep learning and building apps to hone your skills. You got this. DONT GIVE UP!

  6. For those who never heard and for those who wanna share it.

    HERE IS THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, “Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you..

  7. Pretty intimidating stuff if you just shove it around complete beginners mouth I think.

    All of these things is really take at least maybe a year or two to learn, realistically speaking. Meanwhile having a solid understanding of the 3 fundamentals like html, css, javascript could take you a long way if you just started apply to small company.

    It's like a list of dreams an employer have for their future employees.

  8. Your HTML slide has some wrong information, <h1>, <p>, etc are semantic elements. Others like <span>, <div>, etc are non-semantic. The difference between a semantic and non-semantic element is that the element itself describes the content in it. A <h1> is a high level header, and <p> is a paragraph, whereas the content of these could also be within a <div> or <span> element, but the elements would no longer describe the content.

  9. I checked off most all of these boxes and still can't get a job. I'm starting a contractor role soon that's for installing computer hardware so I might just try applying to alot of places next year.

  10. Started learning web dev at the start of 2021 for my senior year of college. Even though I was doing comp sci, I struggled with coding and couldn’t write a simple hello world web page. I now check off most of these boxes including the bonus ones and will be applying as soon as I finish up my last portfolio project. For anyone feeling overwhelmed, just take it day by day and the progress will add up.
