hi sir i have 33years old and i want to start learn web development is this normal in this age start from zero because i want to change my career or no age is problem

[@zachgoll]

@@soumiarouba2729 I’ve seen people of all ages jump into this field. While it gets a bit harder to land that first job as you get older (on average), it can still be a great way to level up in whatever field you’re working in. And with enough practice and time, maybe even break into tech :) it’s a tough journey but worth it!

[@soumiarouba2729]

@@zachgoll thank u for your message and i just want to say in this age without job it's hard seriously in 2020 i lost my job after that i didnt find a job for this i want change my life and learn new thing to change my career

[@catanddoges]

can you do another set of javascript challenges (beginner to pro)

[@deed_it]

Before 2024, I'd like this video to be my last "How I'd Lean Web Dvelopment..." and to group to the next level, finally commit,solve problems, create projects, and show the contribution to the technology that I can make. Cheers to yall beginners like me, Hope we make it!

[@zachgoll]

You will. Check out the “100 Days of Code” challenge, i think that’s a great way to kick start the new year!

[@user-sb9ve6zd6p]

Very useful content! Thank you!

[@user-hh8oe4ln3c]

one of my favorite go to tutorials and the finest

[@ibernikov]

Thanks for your video!

[@zachgoll]

You're welcome! Hope it helps :)

[@devongifford4100]

Fantastic video, I really like the php larvel suggestion too. It's not the popular bootcamp suggestion but it's actually good advice, could also be a solid career entry point too.

[@zachgoll]

Yeah Laravel is such a solid framework. Nothing fancy, but has solutions for absolutely everything

[@clpr635]

I personally keep losing my motivation to learn things since they are actually hard to learn and I keep giving myself months of breaks. You actually need to keep up your motivation all the way.

[@zachgoll]

What archetype are you from this video?

[@Hamza-dj7gy]

I have watched your 21 hour frontend boot camp and also the CSS grid course, I need a job asap, so should I go and learn typescript and react or the APIs and if i need to learn APIs, is it important to first learn bash basics? also Thank you so much for those videos, now I know clearly how to use flexbox and grid.

[@zachgoll]

I’d say project-based learning is probably the best next step. If you can build out a personal portfolio website with React and TypeScript, that would be a good introduction. It will be tough, but stick with it!

[@lostinthenarrativve]

hey man, what courses do you recommend for node/express ?

[@th3ja]

Clear and concise! Keep up the awesome content! Is adding Laravel to the Job ASAP direction viable?

[@zachgoll]

Yes. I gave the path of React/TS as a safe option, but honestly, Laravel or even .NET (especially in some geographies) are both heavily marketable skills, but less talked about here on KZbin.

[@th3ja]

@@zachgoll Gotcha! Thank you!

[@ashrafal]

I would add Django to the List of "Laravel, Ruby On Rails" does it all frameworks. Its in Python and Python being other language you might end up using be it Data Science, or something like running AWS Lambdas

[@zachgoll]

Yep, Django is another good one!

[@user-my7uj9hb6b]

What if I want a job ASAP but I been learning your "Frontend Web Development Bootcamp Course (JavaScript, HTML, CSS)" , do I need to learn React and TypeScript as well?

[@zachgoll]

Yep, I think after that course, I have this video, which builds on many of the concepts and transitions you into the React and TypeScript world - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ-2eHR7ltOflbs

[@krishmehta6594]

Best roadmap on youtube for anyone who wants to learn coding . So I have question that is mern stack good enough for building saas.

[@zachgoll]

MERN stack is fine for building a SaaS, but I wouldn’t just default to it. Typically, MongoDB is going to be better for a content-driven site. I’d reach for Postgres for the majority of SaaS apps.

[@krishmehta6594]

@@zachgoll thank you for your message so apart from mongoDb is it good enough for saas .

[@a89529294]

Hi, I cannot find the website you mentioned at the start, full stack foundation.

[@zachgoll]

Here it is: fullstackfoundations.com/ It's a placeholder site right now. I'm actually building it as part of my latest free course. You can watch the video on the homepage for more info :)

[@deepaksebak1594]

pls publish the next js videos

[@zachgoll]

The first video is up! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpWXkISNi9Omoa8 As I talk about in that video, I'm building this course as we go, so my goal is to release lessons as they are completed (1-2 per week)

[@ChronicleContent]

can you share the roadmap link

[@zachgoll]

I didn’t make a standalone document, but I’ll try to draft something up

[@deed_it]

what if I want a JOB ASAP, but also want to be 10x Engineer in the long run

[@zachgoll]

Some jobs offer budgets for continued education, so that is a good option. It’s all about lifelong learning!

[@deed_it]

@@zachgoll will do! thank you for the guidance, always

[@LouiseJosephine]

My path is: "control freak graphic designer/illustrator who wants to develop their Figma designs themselves so that they dont need to work with anyone else and can have full creative direction" 😅

[@zachgoll]

Have you used Framer? Sounds like exactly what you’re looking for.

[@terteyty6125]

:)

[@anasouardini]

People still wanna learn web dev after all what's been going on! little they know.

[@zachgoll]

What do they not know?

[@aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy]

Ye, care to explain?
