[@jonathanmanner5396]

@@KimComplete Well, I just finished my first month as a front-end developer 😁 It was the second job I applied for, and somehow I ended up developing mobile applications in react native. But it's fun and I'm learning so much everyday right now! I also already made my first major f---up relating to a big release :) So basically I ended up only doing about 60% of the course on codecademy, then I started solving "real" problems from mock assignments my developer friend gave me. And I think that really boosted my debugging and developing skills to get me ready for the real world. Anyways I made it! And thanks for giving me inspiration through the darker times 😊 I have learned that I'm not alone thinking maybe this isn't for me, maybe I'm just not smart enough etc. Perseverance is key. Btw, if anyone is wondering, the learning process took about 6,5 months before I felt ready to apply for jobs. Well actually I didn't feel ready, but I felt I couldn't really learn any more effectively without actually working with it . I must also say that codecademy really taught me really good lessons, aside from coding. Like using git, branching, coding conventions, how to think when solving problems and other stuff that would really stall you otherwise when you start working in a team of other coders.

Is there a way we can interact in a more personal lvl for guidance? It will be so much appreciated.

Great video. I just started learning web dev and hoping soon to join you and the web dev world. 👍🏾

[@jiggy7928]

Good job! I'm about to start my journey to be a web developer as well as I'm working for a well known Electric Car company that I desperately won't to get out of. Gives me more motivation to do this!

James Trail That is so good to hear! Please continue on this journey. If it is something you enjoy, you will not regret it.

[@romanro4316]

Thank you very much for making a video about your pathway into FED, I have tried quite a few resources, mostly video ones and some text based, and really struggled to memorise concepts and basis of syntax, but since I went on the 7 day trial with Codecademy's Pro course in FED I'm really gaining knowledge and managing to memorise lots more than before. I think they really nailed the way the course is presented. Thanks!

I really appreciate your comment! I hope you learn to love it and continue to grow!

[@keiwa11]

The codecademy pro sounds really cool. Currently I'm doing only the free introductions to HTML, CSS and JavaScript, but as soon as I'll be able to afford the pro version, I'm gonna do that cos I'm really loving it so far. I've thought about choosing a different career path than what my field is for a while now but the whole covid situation made me really think aboutthe fact that I want a job that I could do from home, or that I wouldn't lose so easily.

KimComplete, 👉You - changed my life! There is a spark ignited within me after I saw this clip. I cannot even tell you how many times I replayed this clip to get every word you said. I am so ever gratefull🙏🙏🙏. Thank you for shinning the light and showing me the way out of my unfulfilling career.

[@KimComplete]

Glad it helped! I noticed a discouraging comment above and I just want to say that a professor of mine in College literally told me that same exact thing and told me I would hate being a programmer because I would never have a life. That was SO FALSE. If I had listened to his terrible experience, I would have never began my journey. I work a typical 8-10 hour day and then I come home to my family. The only reason I don't do much more studying outside of work is because I have 2 kids and I put them first always. But it is VERY possible!!!!!!

[@helenecatherine6981]

Hi Kim, This is really motivated. After a long period of struggle into my life (personal and professional), I believe I finally found my career path with coding (preferably front-end/web design). I have recently started learning and I would like a little push but haven’t find the right option for me at the moment. This video definitely help me stay motivated! Do you really think it is possible to find a first job without lots of experience (with a few little projects as you said) ? Also, could you explain me how to create a portfolio ? How to integrate you projects into a portfolio (when we consider your projects aren’t live website yet) Thank you so much 😘

Thanks for this video! I've been learning from a KZbin tutorial and found myself becoming despondent but I know I want to make a career change and this it! I'll definitely try CodeCademy

[@kasumikat]

i wish i could've got a job after my course. I also left my job to work on doing a 12 week programme in cloud computing but the only problem is that i struggled with jobs and interview my program offered and i honestly feel like being a devops engineer isn't for me (as more of a creative individual). I now just started a front-end and I hope to get a career out of it Edit: also it didnt help that COVID-19 and lockdown happened right after i finished my course so its become even harder to find a job

[@KimComplete]

I understand that it is rough but I would encourage you to look at these setbacks as tests of your perseverance and resilience. Both are needed to manifest your dreams and your hard work will pay off in the end. Best of luck! Stay strong! 💜

[@adrianbalasa4039]

You said that in almost 3 months you have learned to become a Wed Developer. Also you mentioned about Html and Css, but never heard you about Java Script. Were you able to learn JS also in a total of 3 months or just HTML and CSS? Did you learn after or you found a job as Web Developer only with HTML and CSS? I believe many people will be interested to know this information. Thanks a lot 🙏

[@KimComplete]

Hello! Thanks for following up! The course did have a little bit of JavaScript in it but it was mostly HTML and CSS. I took a free JavaScript course also from CodeCademy and the free Mozilla MDN course to learn the basics and it was all I needed for the job I was in. Anything else I needed for a job I learned while working and my team helped me. I hope this was useful!

[@tabathia1006]

[@Iosubdany]

Adrian Balasa Adrian-ai inceput vreun curs? Sau esti deja vechi in acest domeniu?

[@adrianbalasa4039]

Cantari Crestine Sunt nou in domeniu, am inceput sa studiez de 2 luni insa nu aloc un anumit numar de ore in fiecare zi. Sunt zile in care pot invata 2-3 ore, sunt zile in care nu invat deloc, pentru ca si lucrez (domeniu diferit). Am zis ca as vrea sa fac si un curs oficial care sa imi dea si un certificat, nu stiu cat ajuta dar am zis sa il am la mana. Eu am pornit cu ideea ca inainte sa incep un curs oficial as vrea sa stiu despre ce este vorba ca sa imi fie mai usor sa inteleg si din aceasta cauza am decis sa ma auto-educ atat cat se poate din tutoriale pe KZbin si diferite cursuri gratuite de pe net. Oricum ca si job nu vreau sa aplic mai devreme de jumatatea lui 2021, poate chiar septembrie 2021. Dupa 2 luni de studiat stiu asa cat de cat HTML, si am inceput CSS, m-am uitat si la niste tutoriale cu JavaScript, dar la JavaScript sunt departe de adevar. Oricum tu chiar daca inveti ai nevoie de practica, atat HTML si CSS si cand vei sti bine tot vei mai revizui din diferite carti sau net pentru ca nu vei sti tot, notiuni de baza este ceea ce iti va ramane in minte. Eu zic sa nu te ramani foarte mult pe HTML, si CSS, treci prin ele, invata dar nu ramane sa inveti pe derost, pentru ca vei invata in timp odata ce practici. Tu esti deja in domeniu? Ai inceput sa practici?

Is codeacademy 'pro' the same as 'pro intensive'? I can find the pro version but not pro intensive.

[@KimComplete]

I recommend that you watch my video: "Top 10 Questions I Get Asked" as I discuss this and other things you may be interested in. The course title, cost, structure and features have changed since I took it in 2017. Pro and Pro Intensive are different.
