[@123courage]

@Øath betrayer "wow i like seeing black people succeed" and boom, here come the white people. Why don't yall ever go to Asian channels spread this type of negativity? Yall only harrass black people with this shit. Get a job.

[@CrimsonSlayer7]

@Øath betrayer my comment was not made to spread any form of negativity. Just positivity. I'm not complaining about race dude. Which leads me to ask, what is the point of coming here with negativity? Bro just keep things positive black, white, Asian whatever it's not needed. Anyway I hope everyone stay safe out there 😊

@@Mr-my8kx front end is a bit easier because you can see instant visual feedback on what you're working on, only downside (or upside in my case) is that you have a big advantage know graphic design /ux design

[@aaronaguirre6714]

@@Mr-my8kx it's really hard to get hired if your work sucks. What I'm saying is, your previous work speaks for itself, in the end only the result matters, not the degree behind the results. Keep working at it and prove yourself with good work in a solid portfolio. Don't give up :)

[@samatar1025]

@@Mr-my8kx You can get hired in IT with unrelated degrees or no degree.just have to have skills to be employable not an expert. Also you should have portfolio of like 3 to 4 projects that you made to show your skills. Apply for many jobs send at least 10 apps per day. Go to meetups in your area and network with other IT professionals. You can just be an aspiring web developer til you get your 1st job. Dont worry if you fail an interview, it will give you experience to do better in your future interviews. And in terms if how fast, you get your skills at an employable level correlates with the time and work you put in.

Excellent information sharing here. It felt like a good talk at networking leg of a conference.

[@ThiagoLucioBittencourt]

Great video about FE. Another important thing for our profession is to understand the design to develop and code on the front end. Make the link between the designer who thinks and makes pure design and the design directed to development so that the front-end development teams can work productively when implementing the design on the interfaces. Taking productivity beyond your activities is an important thing when working in high-performance teams.

Great video man. You have a new Subscriber! I am just beginning this journey to become a front end web developer. It is my current dream job. Starting with the basics. staying consistent and taking it one step at a time ! wish me luck. I have a decent understanding of HTML, I am in the middle of learning CSS right now. Making my own website for fun to make learning easier. A tutorial on git Hub and what it is exactly would be useful too. Looking forward to new videos ! Java script makes me anxious as I feel it is going to be much harder to learn then HTML and CSS but I will cross that bridge when it comes !!!

[@tannerbarcelos6880]

What language did you use for interviews specifically for DS/Algos? Or did you not do that and do purely front-end stuff in interviews? I want to be a frontend engineer and i know that a lot of what i see for mock questions and interview questions i have seen are typical software engineering interview problems and I want to prepare. Are you still a frontend engineer right now?

I use to be Web dev in my 20's back in 2003 and kinda drift away and now I'm coming back. thank you for this video

@@MrJfergs That’s really only if you’re going the Javascript/Node route. PHP and Python backend development is still pretty straightforward.

you are never too old to learn anything

[@kasumikat]

I am currently doing a course in Web Development and Python (though i already learnt Python as well as Linux and MySQL databases in my previous course). during my previous course they encourage me to do Devops Engineering and Back-End but i honestly feel like it wasnt for me, i was searching for something in the tech industry roles that I can use my creativity with my tech knowledge and then when i joined my current course i found out about Front-End Developer. I am excited to get more knowledge in this role and im already getting some voluntary experience at my local church to create a new website for them

[@stan.pchannel6556]

Idk what the answer is but I'll say learn html and css but lemme ask you this there are many languages that can be use in back en development such as : python, js, php , ruby , etc.. so I wonder which one you recommend learning

[@TrendTimes]

STAN.P channel php is not a language it’s a Database language and ruby these days there is less chance in ruby cause lot of companies stopped using ruby. But some are using unless you have experience in ruby like minimum 5 years you will be hired. Python is best for back end Development

[@GyasiLinje]

Great question, you can definitely use python as a backend

When did you learn JavaScript ?

[@MauriceWilliams]

Do you practice math as a programmer? Or do you just study code?

[@ishanstuff]

I have a question and I know it's subjective to everyone. Is Software development or front end development harder? Like IMO software development feels more technical and more problem solving heavy(not that I think Front end isn't), I'm just saying Software is more..so it requires more thinking whereas Front end has less(even though it's not easy)

[@wwechampion]

Totally irrelevant, but where are your people from? I know it's somewhere in Africa, maybe Southern to East Africa, like Malawi? Just curious as an African myself

Do yall think Front end development will still be a a big thing in like 10 years or so? With websites like Wix or things like that coming into play..or just any new tech that could possibly replace devs

[@gw7369]

Wiz is highly limiting front end will always be a necessity due to the simple fact that people want what they want and how they want it.

[@someperson9536]
