How I Became a Web Developer with No Computer Science Degree or Bootcamps | Self Taught

[@Derbb]

Great video! I started coding when I bought my first course for programming on October 2nd last year, Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. I learned HTML/CSS in starting mid-November. Then I hopped back into python, not knowing what direction I was going to go in. The last week of december, on December 23rd I chose to take it serious and go the web dev route self-taught. Learned JavaScript by New Years (I was GRINDING that whole week lmfao, 5-8 hours a day), had some vacation for a week, then hopped into React with Brad Traversy's udemy React Front to Back Course the second week of January. I learned what I needed in a week and half - two weeks, and then stopped the course and went to build my own projects. I feel like this is why I was able to learn JS and React so quickly or programming concepts in general, as soon as an instructor teaches us something, I try to recreate it and tinker on my own, not just copy word for word. After taking 4-5 weeks I made my 2 react projects, made my portfolio website in a week. Then I started applying. I applied to one on 2/26, in total I applied to like 20-30 postings, only one called me for an interview. It was 2 weeks after applying there, so I thought I got brushed over. Before that, I had learned SQL, NodeJS, Express, and TypeScript. Wasn't as good as I am now, but I was well versed in these and picked them up quickly. Passed the HR interview, passed the "technical" that was just a portfolio review with the senior software engineer and ui/ux designer of my react projects + got to sneak in my fullstack project which they were really interested in, especially since its a react frontend position and i had a lot of their "nice to haves" with knowing the backend. Then I had an interview with 2 executives, had a proper coding interview with the senior SWE and ui/ux designer, and I just had the final interview speaking about compensation, salary, bonuses, etc with the execs. I did have to pressure them, because it's been a month, as I "got another offer and need to answer by tuesday" lol but they rushed for that interview today. The way they were speaking, "when HR contacts you", "then you'll do a drug test", "we'll send you an offer", "you'd start in may".... i think i have the job secured. I should be getting the offer on Monday. 4.5 months from mid-November until now, the first week of April. They have been dragging this process out a month I figured out today was because they wanted me to start in May not now, but otherwise I would have been done with this some weeks back lol. 5.5 months from my first line of code.

So awesome!! I know the feeling. I started and stopped a lot and I still find myself in those moments of doubt or being overwhelmed but always find your way back! You got this girl!

I found a coding program on Udemy for $11.99, the regular price was…is $89.00. I honestly did not know what “coding” was. I bought it because I wanted to learn something new. I have been sitting in front of my computer more since I started the program, than I have in 10 years. BUT I’m stuck on something in the coding Udemy class, so I’m going to get a book on Python coding…I don’t want to quit, because I can not reach the instructor of the class. Your words are extremely encouraging!!! Thank you, and much success to you and your family!! You are on your way!!
