Learning the technologies covered in this video and course will prepare you to be a front end developer. But there is alway more to learn. Let others know in the comments what other technologies are helpful to learn as a front end developer.

[@skyy_banerjee]

❤❤❤

[@Khadi-C]

Do you need to learn all of these technologies in the road map before applying for jobs? I feel like completing the entire road map would take about ten years!

[@wdcodes]

​@@Khadi-Csadly, the getting into tech is harder than ever.

[@freecodecamp]

You may be able to get an entry level job before learning all of the technologies, especially the ones toward the end of this video. But you will still have to put in a lot of hard work to learn the basics.

[@osamaasi3251]

@@Khadi-C you can make some money as a freelancer after learning HTML and CSS and be able to create simple static websites like a landing page or simple portfolios and you can enhance that by learning a CMS while learning the rest of the technologies.

[@aladeadeseun5288]

You guys at Free code camp have done a lot for humanity. Prosperity and history will be kind to you. Keep it up.

[@dominikawojewska3985]

I'm sorry but this is not a roadmap. It's more of an overview of what's out there with a rough order in which to learn each thing. A roadmap would be more like this: 1. learn HTML and CSS 2. learn some JavaScript 3. learn git 4. build some projects, use git, deploy to web 5. learn DOM manipulation and async JavaScript 6. build more projects 7. pick some CSS preprocessor and/or framework and build some projects 8. pick a JS framework, build some projects 9. learn a state management framework for that framework from point 8., build some projects 10. learn some databases 11. build a project that looks and feels like a real world app, learn anything else that is needed for this project, then repeat

[@mihaichildesco8276]

I share the same opinion, and I am disappointed that such a so-called roadmap comes from freecodecamp. I expected something more serious.

[@sudarrshang8922]

Yes this is what should be happen in real path

[@funny-ne3ky]

The roam map start like this : html - css are the easy part ... learning JS is the hard one and most of the people quit . If you learn the main programming language of the dev job that are you searching for and you are good , then you have the skills and everything will be much more easier .

[@ipodtouch470]

@@funny-ne3kyfor me js and html where the easy part but making a design and then using css is the hard part for me.

[@luzaw4957]

You're mentioning those topics again in the video, except for the database. The database is for backend developers.

[@teddy6326]

which one are demands front end , back end or full stack?

[@AjayKumar-fd9mv]

Yes we need

[@wassupbaby8634]

@@teddy6326 Both back end and front end are in demand but front end has slightly more in demand than the backend.

[@carloschu7127]

1. Fullstack: Frond end + Back end. 2. Data Sciencie + Data Analyst or Bussiness Analyst 3. Machine Learning 4. AI training. ( This is the inverted pyramid ). To my understanding, small startups, due to limited budget, they will hire 1 to 3 guys to do all those thing interchangeably. But for middle sized to huge companies, AI and Machine Learning are reserved for bachelors with Ph.D in Computer Sciencies. If I am not mistaken. If we have time, we should learn Cibersecurity. But I dont think, companies will allow to get a job at junior level for cibersecurity. At fullstack level, is where the client data starts to compile. This is where the " job " starts. But, as of writting, circa 2023 December, interest rate still high by the FED, if there are mass layoffs by tech companies, they will only keep seniors devop. Wait for the FED lower interest rate, so borrowing become cheaper, and companies start to expand their bussiness, so they will higher more " junior " entry level jobs.

Obviously will keep practicing until the end of time to improve myself and keep learning these tools and technologies that you mentioned. You are GOD-sent... Can never thank you enough.

[@davidg5898]

Love your courses. As someone who is self-taught, your videos have helped me fill in some gaps and better standardize/organize my practices. The most difficult part of front end for me is the visual design. I can make very intuitive and efficient interfaces, but making them look pretty is never my strong suit.

[@mujonnj9692]

maybe watching design videos on KZbin can help you. Like color theory, design basics, ...

[@davidg5898]

@@mujonnj9692I've been a visual art/design lover all my life but, while I have great appreciation for it, I have limited aptitude for it. I know I'm not the only one, though, and that's why so many companies exist that sell/lease site templates. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. It's important to know your own so you know when to seek outside help when necessary, right?

[@3polygons]

Definitely

[@Matty100]

I'm wondering about this as well. I thought MERN stack seems pretty legit but I see most job posts wanting java or c#.

[@ninjagortech]

Yeah, MERN stack is good for learning and smaller projects, but it is not very scalable. I personally enjoy using NextJS, any postgresql or MySQL db, and prisma. And depending on how many people are going to use my application I choose between using nestjs or the built in NextJS route handlers. But MERN stack is a great place to start! Job offers with c# are for companies that use the .NET framework. I personally recommend mastering JS/TS first. Hope this helped, good luck on your learning journey!

thanks for sharing this information, this guide our path , and the short explanation gives a view of tecnology.

[@DanyPellerin]

Ignorance is bliss. Looking at this almost makes it sound easy to learn all these thing. Sure basic HTML and CSS is easy (some could even argue css can be challenging). Getting into JS is a different story, learning the foundation, the patterns, the pitfalls, learning some framework is far more challenging than it seems and will take easily take years to master. How to even debug properly, use the dev tools. Accessibility? Did we even mention that? You also need to learn to collaborate and there's a lot of tooling around that, Figma, Miro, etc. Then you need to learn the domain you're working in, the business logic. You also need to learn to write clean code and learn to work with other's people code. And how to refactor legacy code. How to write code that is low coupling with high cohesion? Sounds easy, right? Then you need to learn some architecture, how to design a solution, how everything connects together, the different development environments, UAT, preprod, prod, QA. Ah right, how are we tracking the code and getting customer feedback? Oh and I forgot, what about the methodology, how to be truly agile. I didn't even cover how testing can be challenging. How do you debug those tests, how to write meaningful tests. Oh and the metrics. Then to prepare for interviewing you better know some data structure and algorithms, and be able to communicate your thought process clearly, under pressure. Many other things I'm not even talking about and some I barely scratched the surface. Did I even mention security? Being a developer is a bumpy road and it's extremely challenging. Everything you learn now will be outdated in a couple year so better focus on the foundation. But still, there's just so much to know and it's always evolving. Good luck with all that, hope you get good seniors to guide you gently and not some hardcore PMs with impossible deadlines!
