How to Create a Portfolio Website - Making a Software Developer Portfolio

A portfolio website as a software developer contains your previous projects and experience, and is a great platform to showcase your technical ability and stand out to potential employers.

I know this will be a question, so let me address why I chose to create a website using Wix, rather than from scratch. Building and maintaining a site takes a lot of time and energy, but does not offer much return on investment since I am not a front-end/web developer. Since I want an efficient method to simply showcase my technical skills and projects, Wix is a straightforward platform that allows me to achieve my goal (and not get frustrated trying to center a div for 90 minutes lol).

Thanks for watching everyone!

what a person who codes need .... a sole mate who can code as well...btw centering div is easy .... display flex, justify-content center and align-items center on the parent element and everything inside that parent will be centered

"inspired by big dreams and dank memes" nice touch haha

Great video but I was told my a developer to never put your profile picture on your portfolio because people can be judgment against you because of your race, age, gender, etc. She told me is better to put your skills so that people hire you based on your skill set. As a black man and a freelancer I can tell you I have lost jobs based on my race. Oh, the stories I can tell but this is not the place to rant. But apart from that, great video. I saw you Python course of freeCodeCamp.org and track you here lol.

U make it so smooth 2 Do. What a world of difference from the mid 90's when we built raw html pgs in txt editors and loaded em into Netscape 2 C what it looked like and the URL's were still mostly numeric IP addresses... :)

I like those videos when you introducing cool Python programming....

I genuinely thought that you were going to use html, css, and JavaScript LMFAO

Hi Kylie! Thanks for this! I was just about to start my portfolio too! Really liking your videos <3

hey! could you continue on the python learning playlist? maybe get on advanced levels or so? your previous playlist was SO HELPFUL.

I am a front end development teacher but always fascinated by python though I haven't learnt it yet..I subscribed to your channel as I get more motivated by female programmers as I am a girl myself.

Hello, Kylie
Great video as usual! Do you have any resources that you use to learn data structure and algorithms? And what kind of math subjects that are really important to know for computer science students?
Thank you in advance.

[zchamdawala]

Amazing video as always.
Thanks for sharing ❤️

What do you do after learning the syntax of a language?
How do you actually program?
How do you know what to write?
How do you figure out what you need to complete a project?

Are you still using wix? this was a great video, thank you for sharing
