How I Became a Web Developer in 3 Months

[@rsjiujitsu]

I watched this video almost a year ago, and I signed up on treehouse. I took a bunch of courses and a few months later I got a job as a Web Developer. Now I have seven months under my belt and I love my job.

[@robertrydlewski9538]

what did you do ?? frond end first ?? HTML5, CSS3 JS ?? I am a newbie just starting out with HTML, CSS and doing now JS with is pretty hard.

[@abdulmajeedalotaibi7255]

@@robertrydlewski9538 focus on front end first and javascript is hard but it's strong language so u will never regret it 👍

[@robertrydlewski9538]

Abdulmajeed Alotaibi Thanks man, I still digging in to Vanilla JavaScript. I would like to know this language pretty well before going farther. Actually I would like to start learning React but I don’t think my JS skills are enough good. Anyhow thanks for good word, comment like yours, give me more courage to keep going. 😉

Anyone can build "hello world". That is not what makes you a programmer. The way you think is what defines a clever or good programmer

[@jakestewart7079]

I got my first web development job last week at a very small start up. I finished my first project according to the design I was given and I ended up being let go due to a lack of experience. What bothers me most is that I did what I was told and they didn't even give me feedback. They could have at least told me it looked bad (I honestly thought the designs given looked bad), but I made their designs happen. Oh well though, I gained some experience and now I'm off to look for my next gig.

[@jakestewart7079]

Btw you can check out my code on github @ Jmstewart1127 or visit my site jacobstewartonline(dot)com Sorry that's not supposed to be spam just trying to connect with other coders

Aw man, that's too bad, I really hate to hear that. Keep practicing and Keep your head up, because something better is on the way for you

[@smonkey001]

I think it's a fraud. Did they ever let you know their company name? You turned their psd/jpg to a working responsive page as a so-call "test", and right after you submitted your work, their email turned total silence. I got the exact same experience. Checkout my portfolio, I'm more of a coder not a designer: www.saturnringstation.com/portfolio

[@mels.3750]

Chris, I'll be 50 this year but I have almost 30 years of experience in I.T. I started off as one of the first female computer techs in the U.S. Air Force. I have an A+ Cert and MOS certs and I just graduated with a Bachelor's in Web Design. I've created a couple sites for people using WP and FrontPage (back in 2000) and always had an interest in Web Design which is why I dabbled here and there. I'm doing a web development track on Udemy right now, just to keep updated. Do you think it's too late for me to move into Web Development and get a job?

[@SanicoPJulius]

Hi Sir Chris Sean,your video admire me so much being a developer,as of now i'm a Private Technician Butmy Cousin what me to Learn to be Developer. the question is Where should i start..hope you can help me with this.. sorry for my english so bad. :(

[@true7251]

old question, but still. with your experience, it would be almost easy, I suspect :) web development is probably the easiest route compared to any other programming. I'm just a student, but dabbed in many different things. Considering you have degree in web design, it will be a lot easier for you, than for others, because you already know one side of it. I suspect you could become full stack developer or make apps or be a html5 game maker etc. wish you luck!

[@randombiketrips3296]

Mel S. my Java professor years ago went from being a cook in a diner in a small town south of Phoenix, Arizona to working for companies like Nissan and Qualcomm in California. He didn't go back to school until the age of 44. Obtained his master's in CS around 50 as well. PhD a few years after. He became a teacher but also a consultant for many tech companies while teaching at a community college. Might be retired by now but yeah, no one is ever too old for this.

[@MattKnowsTech]

Hey, I checked out your website, and I would like to offer you some constructive feedback. It took me 5 seconds to load that profile picture on the home page. You can fix this by reducing the dimensions since you are only displaying a 175px-wide image. Instead of reducing the image's natural dimensions of 770x760, why don't you just use a 175px-wide image instead of setting the max-width to 175px? The file size would be much smaller than what it is now (1 mb). Also, as soon as I went you your site, I immediately recognized that typical Twitter Bootstrap look. If I were you, I would customize the design of your site more, and perhaps you could even refrain from using Bootstrap all together (maybe keep the grid, or other components, though). In my opinion, frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation are overkill. Instead of using everything, just use a few components that you absolutely need. When I hover over your Instagram photos in the navy blue section, they spontaneously jitter. I would work on that, for that jittery side-effect takes away from the transition. Also, the glyphicons are not loading for me. In my opinion, that Indie Flower font does not go well with your site. I would choose a more legible font such as Open Sans or Source Sans Pro. Additionally, increasing the line-height and font-size in some areas would help alleviate the discomfort I experience reading the bits of text on your website; in some areas, the "y" on one line interferes with other text on the lines below. Moreover, I would work on the Vertical Rhythm of your site. Vertical Rhythm keeps vertical spaces between elements on a page consistent with each other. Essentially, you take a line-height, such as 24px, or a unit-less value (recommended) such as 1.5 (24/16 = 1.5), and set that as the line-height of your body text. Then, you set the line-height of all text elements and the white space between elements to a multiple of 24px. You can read more about Vertical Rhythm here. zellwk.com/blog/why-vertical-rhythms/ Lastly, I don't know if this is because you are using a CMS, but some elements on your site are styled via the style="" html attribute. This is a bad practice and should be avoided, unless it is dynamically included by way of JavaScript or server-side rendering. The reason why this is a "bad practice" is that it doesn't adopt the practice of separation of concerns. I hope you consider my feedback, and if you have any questions, let me know!

[@tomsb18c]

Matthew Kosloski dam them constructive feedbacks 🖒 be my mentor haha

[@generalqwer]

How is bootstrap overkill, like what else are going to use Flexbox? lol. I also dont get your point about adjusting the image width, you can just use plugins on Gulp or Grunt to compress images which would work much better.

[@MattKnowsTech]

generalqwer You don't need to use Bootstrap for Flexbox. Also, you can compress the images, but why would you need such a large dimension image for a small profile picture? Optimizing images for the web _also_ includes using images with practical dimensions. In my opinion, Bootstrap is overkill because I don't end up using the majority of the code and I spend more time overriding the default styles than anything else. Instead of using the framework in its entirety, in the past, I just used a few components such as the modal window or CSS grid. Many developers just use Bootstrap and Foundation for rapid prototyping, which they are extremely good for.

[@mohammedasim3158]

shorter the better..... not applicable for Dicks

[@raventhorX]

Didn't realize bootstrap was something related to web development, thought it was something else. Noticed it a lot on a lot of listed positions i've found in my quest for an IT related career and not many if at all had a title that implied it was a web dev position lol. Need to research bootstrap now to understand how it work. The main reason I'm leaving this comment though is to ask you to elaborate on styling a webpage using the style="" html attribute. You claim it's bad practice but also about the practice of separation concerns. Could you elaborate on what you mean by the practice of separation concerns and also give feed back of alternate methods of styling a webpage? I would think an alternate method would be using style sheets, but that's something i only recently just learned.

How long did you take learning PHP?, and what about CSS? Not saying JavaScript. In 3 months you know nothing, the time is a lie, I sae the comments very positive for this video, it seems to me that they are beginners, learning to be a web developer takes time. My advice for people who want to become web developer is this: Do not care about the time you would take to learn to be web developer, but be determined to become a web developer, you will face many things in the learning process. Be organized, practice every day, persevere, never give up, and love what you are doing, forget about the time, and then you will find out yourself a real professional as web developer.

Chris, thank you for the positive messages! I want to become a developer as well but with no experience! I will research the info you provided because I want this life!

[@Iraqitammar]

Not trying to be negative at all but let’s be realistic for a min... if you think you’re going to be a web developer in 3 months or even 9 months? You are wrong my friends because: I assume you have basic knowledge of web development right? So you know the front end and back end and all other frameworks that you have to learn in order to do the assigned tasks by your employer, example: To be front end developer you must be proficient in (HTML - CSS - JavaScript-jquery) and more depends on what are you specifically developing. So with that being said, do you think you can become proficient in the above languages in 3 months? Let’s say by some miracle you made it within (9 months instead of 3) chances to be employed are very weak now day with no degree and no experience. I’d highly recommend to go to college and get your BS it’s not hard trust me but you gotta be patient and willing to learn. Then it’ll pay off massively, especially in tech cities such as Seattle which where I’m located at. At the end I wish everyone the best of luck. And I apologize if you think I was being negative.

[@WasheyTGL]

Yeah go get 100k + of debt to learn shit you won't even need. Good shit.

[@001photo]

@RealChrisSean I noticed that you used to recommend Treehouse, but now you are leaning towards ZTM? What's changed your opinion? I'm curious because I'm enrolled in a Treehouse Techdegree and wondering if I've made the right choice.

[@RealChrisSean]

Treehouse CEO sold out. I have a podcast coming out soon talking about it.

[@naniv]

Dude I love your story...literally started tearing up in the eyes to hear your interesting story

[@vdj255]

You cant call yourself web developer after 3 months. Not even close. Without strong background in IT or some experience in coding before that, you are barely intern material in some really small company. Barely. And only if you worked your ass off those few months. After 5-6 months of a lot of sleepless nights, then you can maybe be some degree of junior web dev, but still a lot to learn before you dont have that big "junior" in front of your name anymore. Hate to break it to you, but i met a a lot of smart and talented people that needed at least a year of hard work before they became actually good. You maybe think that you know a lot after few months, believe thats just a fragment of what you'll learn. You just give false hope to these people, because they will believe that its that easy. Its not. But keep the grind, and it will pay off. After a year or so of studying i managed to get a job at one of the biggest IT companies in my country. If you dont give up, you will succeed, its 20 percent brain, and 80 percent will and discipline.

[@vdj255]

I believe you, motivation is always good and im glad that more people are getting into this field. Its just that for some reason people have an impression its a walk in the park to do it, start doing it and just give up when they realize its not that easy. More people should get in with a mindset of "its hard but with hard work ill do it", instead of "gonna get that easy money, everyone is doing it". Last time senior developer from my department tried to get us another developer, from 100 people, half of them couldnt write basic javascript, other half could, but that was about it. And the job wasnt even for entry level junior, it was for 1+ year exp. You seem like cheerful guy, people need that, i know that it would help me! Keep it up.

[@robindanielsonsmith1720]

this is so inspiring!! i have one more english class to get my associates degree in web developing! I have been a dental assistant for 16 years so you can imagine im so nervous! and I have been worried Im not good enough yet to move on to a new career. but this has really inspired me! thanks!

[@mels.3750]

Jenn, I'm in the same shoes as you - also female but a little bit older, judging by your photo. :) I know how you feel about changing careers. Good luck!

[@jennsjems3650]

Mel S. im doing some new projects now for my portfolio and im feeling a tiny bit more confident. I am just going to be super honest with my skill level and hope to god I can find a good job. I am 35 so this is pretty scary but It will be worth it in the end Im sure. good luck to you too! do you have a portfolio yet?

[@jennsjems3650]

Juicefulll thanks! I am in the process of doing a personal website and im also doing one for a friend that raises and sells chickens and ducks. so thats where im starting then im going to start looking around.

[@Ki1ngOfGods]

Plant based Jenn you are an inspiration as well. If you really want a job, try pushing all of your work to github and if you have free time try to contribute to open source projects. It will show employers you're dedicated and hungry to learn. Since you are just starting out try to emphasize the fact that you are looking for a company that would give you mentorship and help you grow. Companies want to hear this too and they will not hesitate to bring you up to speed. Congrats on your degree.

actually, $30k is less than what you were making at $18/hr? (30k/2000= $15/hr)

[@DanielGonzalez-ij4yq]

Chris, thanks. I'm a Web Developer too and I had been feeling kinda discouraged lately. I've been coding for around a year now, and. I got to the point where I felt somehow stuck in my progress and I just didn't feel like coding, but your enthusiasm really made me remember how amazing it is to create, to be able to make a "Hello World", and to turn awkward lines of characters into a functioning website. thanks Chris.

[@DanielGonzalez-ij4yq]

Chris Sean Thanks. I am 16 years old, so for me to get a front-end job at a design agency after just 8 months of learning was a cool thing, still sometimes it feels discouraging for me to sit all those hours to code while everyone around me is pretty much partying. thanks for your enthusiastic video on this

[@DanielGonzalez-ij4yq]

Chris Sean THANK YOU!! I'm not into Twitter, so expect more comments from me in YT ;)

[@SufiKingdom]

This was a fuel to my burning desires of programming. I need to have more motivating people like you around me. here I GO. :)

[@yeeli7989]

What is the pathway to learn web development?? Javascript? How can I prove that I have revelant skill and meet the requirements? Is there any certification to take ?

[@AndresMenaSimba]

What's the link to the KZbin video that got you interested in coding?

[@Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzr]

its not hard but in time the salarys will be going down to 30k to twenty thousand so nows the time to get in before everyone learns how to do it its only a matter of time with countys like india, china, mexico and russia i give it another ten years of living the good life before it gets bloaded with everyone learing to code

[@Yura1993SK]

I have similar story to yours, I always skipped classes at high school and always got bored at classes, I always stayed at home to play video games and sleep, but i always loved computers and than i started to learn to code, and today i work as web dev, good luck to you chris! and to all other watcher and reader, dont give up! anybody can code and it doesn't matter if you went to college or if you were a good student or not! the beauty of code that nobody look at your past, its only about your skills

[@JessBess]

I wanna be a digital nomad and don't know what area to choose to freelance in. Digital marketing, copywriting, video editing or coding??? I'm interested in coding cos it's about problem solving and finding solutions but people say that it's not something I can learn casually or half heartedly since the technology scene is constantly changing. My main focus is being a travel KZbinr so freelancing in coding would be a side project, just to fund my travels. Do you think a side career in coding is feasible? Or do you think it's something you either dedicate 100% and succeed or fail due to the amount of knowledge required to keep up with the coding industry?

This guy is real af down to earth like gravity! SUBSCRIBLBIED

[@jemay3299]

God bless you Brother, u inspired me a lot :) I really love your testimony

[@lesiagant7141]

Congrats dude! Glad everything worked out for you. I'm learning code now myself, I'm currently a graphic / web designer now

[@andresraya]

a youtube video also change my live........one morning i wake up...you know same shit everyday...i saw the the video then began thinking how i could apply that to my live, and then the journey began. the only thing ones need to change their live is a good idea and the determination to get it done.

[@kima1767]

Very nice and inspiring statement.. And yeah I also quit a lot of things and unsubscribe some of nonsense channel in youtube and subs for helpful channel like this one and be more focus on my dream. Tnx,

[@ngreat4390]

Why would you code at work. That's unfair...

[@DevSage]

I'm trying to get this web development tutorial channel going and I'm looking for honest criticism for my first few videos. (Anyone)

[@Pochinator]

KZbin needs more people like you. Good job mate! Keep doing what you do!

[@KevinsCaninesAndAquatics]

I have been programming for about 3 years. I have been learning the MERN Stack now. I actually learned HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap 3 years ago. I know a lot of JavaScript but not a ton. I am still learning, however, I am only a teenager and not even out of high school. I don't know how you got the job considering how difficult it is in this age to actually get a web development job. Thank you for sharing. I thought that I didn't know that much code although I know HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, JQuery and I am learning NodeJS and React. I still feel like I don't know much code but obviously, I have done a lot more than I thought. I can't believe that you got a job after three months of coding. You technically didn't know any programming languages considering HTML isn't technically a programming language.

[@nicolaspettican]

Great job Chris! Although I could hardly hear you over the background music.. haha. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Megastaru]

Hi. I just started yesterday to learn programming In morning I pay a course to learn HTML. When I finish with paying procedure already HTML was stuck in my head. I'm the noon I eat some CSS and in the evening JavaScript.. Tomorrow I will finish the next Facebook app. Now I will go out to have my dinner because I started to like to eat bullshit

[@Johanyjn6]

on the treehouse website there's the option between build a website and learn to code! isn't this pretty much the same? help.. thank you

[@melaniekim324]

You are so adorable! I've been learning code for a two months and have been applying to boot camps, but can't afford them. So knowing that I can do it through treehouse gives me so much hope. I was feeling super depressed about the whole thing. Thanks for putting this video up! :)

[@Brian_Moser1118]

what coding language did you learn ?should i learn one or more ? web developer vs software developer and why ?

[@kevikevi7438]

I cannot see the link of your first website that you made... Can you please where is it?
