[@darko_n6819]

@dream REALITY He probably switched to game dev then front-end again and he switched to roblox stuido then he decided hes gonna use the .NET frame work to build desktop apps. I assume.

[@raywellmanmusic]

@@darko_n6819 the sarcasm is not lost on me lol, I just wanted to state I started as a game dev (making accessible games for my son), and then did a few traditional games, some networking (multiplayer) games and physical networking, and then starting working on Android apps and games, mobile game dev got me interested in Android apps, did some iOS, even made a controller prototype for accessibility, and then while trying to find a job recently, it was suggested by a longtime colleague of mine to focus on front-end or UI/UX development. Bouncing around different technologies to see what you like or what you can do, is not necessarily bad thing. Front-end is in demand, but so are a lot of other pos in tech.

If you have any other tips I'd love to hear them but nice quality video and keep up the good work 👍🌟

Startin early!!!??! If I were you I'd cont. to learn html and css. Once you're comfortable with those, move to learn JS. Since you're in highschool now I wouldn't stress too much about learning a framework, because by the time you hit the coding workforce the tools will all have changed.

Here’s a cool analogy for HTML, CSS, & JS: HTML is the bones (structure of the webpage). CSS is the skin, your outfits, the way you decide to style yourself. JavaScript is the most vital part; the organs. Without JS/your organs, your body/website will not be able to do much. I hope this helps!

In basketball you can't just read a book about how to shoot a free throw. Or watch someone else shoot free throws. You got to roll up your sleeves and actually try to shoot a ton of shots for yourself. Same with development and learning to code. You're not going to get better until you actually write your own code. Even if it doesn't work the first time, thats still 1000% better than watching someone do it correctly.

Hey Jeremiah, I had a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. I am currently a senior in college and will graduate with a BS in Computer Science. However, my school only teaches backend like Java, C, C++, Python and I want to do front end. I have a strong foundation in vanilla HTML and CSS and understand vanilla Javascript. My question is what should I try to learn next? I've done some interviews and they ask for SASS, React. Should I start on React and then SASS or vice versa? Any other tips would be great, thank you for your time.

[@JeremiahPeoples]

Hey mate! I’d learn react first. It’s really in demand these days

[@archieframes]

So, I've learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and I'm now learning SASS, Bootstrap, React, and Redux. Earned a few certifications through freeCodeCamp, built my portfolio site and a handful of samples sites. I'm at the stage of applying to jobs now, and everyone wants 4+ years of experience. Do you have any insight on how to overcome this or where to look for truly ENRTY-LEVEL jobs? I watched another of your videos explaining that you got your first Software Engineering job through a connection in the military when you were enlisted. The job description sounded like a dream: "Must know HTML, CSS, JavaScript; most importantly, must be ready to learn more." That's exactly what I need, but can't seem to find it.

[@JeremiahPeoples]

Apply to jobs you think you think you’re under qualified for and it’s a numbers game. Like (500 applications)

I wanted to learn javascript properly but hit the wall when it came to functional programming. Any tips for functional programming in javascript?

[@JeremiahPeoples]

After understanding the JS fundamentals, roll to a framework like React. React kind of guides you to program to industry standards. And if you're feeling really saucy, throw some Typescript in there.

Hello I have a strong motivation and interest to become a Front - End programmer but mathematics is not one of my strong subjects. I have difficulties and problems in programming with JavaScript and I am afraid that I need mathematics to do it because others explain to me that it is needed to get it. I study in an academy but as we know there are academies that can and cannot explain and study well, the other question is whether you can tell me where it is best to study if you have taken courses to tell me where they teach well and they study and not just to give crazy money for courses and nothing happens because the teacher is not good at teaching. But my biggest question remains whether I need math and ask you to recommend somewhere to study.

This may be a dumb question but I am really confused about this… can you strictly start a career just doing front end development or do you need to know backend as well? Every article I read pushes full stack. I know many jobs require a knowledge of both but can I get my foot in the door knowing HTML, CSS and JavaScript. for instance Colt Steele’s course goes over how to become a full stack developer, can you land a job knowing strictly front end? Many “front end developer” courses touch on backend or full stack as well. Do I need to know full stack to get a job as a front end dev?

[@JeremiahPeoples]

Yes you can find just frontend jobs. you should know ABOUT backend at a high level
