How I'd Learn Web Development (If I Could Start Over)

In my opinion, people try to bait you on the internet by getting you to think or do certain things that'll "help" you bypass the process of learning web development. The truth is, the process never ends. Learning web dev/coding is a lifelong journey.

The biggest game changer for me was finding a friend to code with. I lucked out and found someone that enjoys programming, and we hang out and code for fun. He also has been programming for a decade and is a full stack savant.

The best part is I code all the time because it is enjoyable, and I’ve built a great friendship for life.

For those who keep hearing "build something unique", here is another way to look at it. Build as if you were running your own business. Example, I work with a lot of Wedding DJs & Photographers that still create/edit planners via Spreadsheets. So I took that idea and made it into a more customizable online form.

You're more honest than 80% of tech youtubers giving us advices

I completely agree on not to learn CS50 I initially started with html and css but gave up because of distractions then I started learning JAVA learnt the language started learning DSA and learning DSA I realized I am just solving problems on leetcode and it's not taking my anywhere bulding real world applications so I paused on DSA and now I have learnt HTML CSS and JS because this can get you a job.

I love how straight to the point this is

Thanks for this video. It’s a huge breath of fresh air. Feels like I’m going on the right path. Definitely agree with doing a project in the vanilla language of choice than straight hopping into a framework/library.

Starting freecodecamp today will edit this comment to update my progress

May 24, 2024 - Finished the Responsive Web Design course! Currently in the JavaScript course starting the 2nd certification project which is a decimal to roman numeral converter.

Learn how to learn is not a bold take. It might just be one of the most underrated statements. Thank you for the tips

[goodness]

This the most sincere and true advice on Web Dev I have come across in YT. Thank you !

[Supmydawg]

honestly thanks for your being so upfront I hate watching those dang click bait videos that tell you I became a web developer in 3 months. This really motaved me to keep going on my learning journey.

I love your no b.s. realistic approach (almost). :) I think the hardest part is GETTING STARTED and be PERSISTENT

Great video!!! Quick tip from a hobbyist programmer transitioning to becoming a full stack developer: Take a day or two before you learn JS to learn how to write psuedo-code. It helps a lot to be able to disconnect the syntax from the logic of if statements, for loops, switch case statement, inheritance, ect. Makes it so you can flesh out what you want your program to actually do, then you get into the nitty gritty googling of how to actually make it work as you intend. It Also helps when you go from one language to another because you're not reliant on the language itself but the language is just a means to accomplish your logic. I learned this WAY too late

Glad I found your video. I was searching for a straightforward video on how to learn some coding. Thanks for the tips!

[oneshawnsay]

I'm so glad I found this video. I've searching around for weeks trying to decide which boot camp to spend money on. You probably just saved me a couple of thousand dollars.

[gnzlplcs]

the most honest and cheering video I've seen for a long while! 🎉

[martijnlanghorst]

To the point, honest and free tips. Really good video. Thank you Dylan!

[ervczek]

Thank you so much for making this video, it will definitely be a huge help for me. I am so sick and tired of all these people trying to force me to buy their course, what a shame that being honest and authentic is so rare these days.
Of course, I don't necessarily oppose people capitalizing on a course they have been working so hard to make - just the idea of sneakily giving you free stuff and advice and then saying that it all goes to waste if you don't take their course and that's the best and only option

[taleofsummer]

Thank you for this. I've been stuck in my head trying to plan out what I should learn even though I've started FCC. Now I have a clearer vision of what I should do! thank you

[kiroshi]

The idea of making a website with vanilla js and then using a framework is a really good idea. Thank you for that

[LifeThug]

This man is real. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on starting the Coding journey.
