HTML & CSS - How Much Do You Really Need To Know?

[@DWEthiopia]

@@kellivador Are you intentionally not seeking employment now because you are still in school or do you just feel like you are not skilled enough yet to work as a developer? I ask because I am trying to get employed by April 2020 and I just learned what HTML is 2 days ago. I am starting bootcamp next week.

[@kellivador]

DW Ethiopia most positions in my area require html, css, JavaScript and a couple other languages as an entry level position. I’m waiting because I want to feel completely comfortable and also have time to build my portfolio. Doing this will allow me to show more of what I know and can do when i go into interviews. I want to build a strong foundation first.

Thanks Sean. Your videos convinced me of career transition to becoming a self taught programmer. I have completed html and css. Now moving to strengthen my skills further in CSS by doing additional new courses from diff professors. And than hopefully complete javascript.

[@RealChrisSean]

Thanks man!

[@CodeGoblin]

people underestimate css and some still don't even know about semantic HTML. There's a lot of power and structure behind both that most shy away from because they "don't like design".. but the first thing you see in their projects and critique is their design.

[@hallam7743]

Great words of wisdom, again Chris. Yes people would never stop learning when it comes to coding, the whole coding platform is forever changing but once people keep at it, they will succeed.

Thanks a lot man!! You really did open up my minds about coding. Before, what i thinking is just how to get the job done, and i am already satisfied with that. I never thought about improving it or whatsoever. Once again thanks to you for sharing something so valuable like this

[@williamshakespeare2482]

Excellent point Chris! Most people have a tendency to do just enough to get the job done (ie. pass the class, keep from getting fired, etc.). They look for the shortcuts. They buy books like, “learn HTML/CSS in 24 hours.” They gravitate towards KZbin channels announcing, “I learned web development and was hired in three months.” That’s human nature. The exceptional person will ask themself, “How can I make this better, faster, stronger? How can I be better?” I believe Tony Robbins refers to it as Constant and Never Ending Improvement. Your Boss is Right. (maybe I should have led with that lol) Those whose quests for excellence lead them to always be learning and always be improving stand out. Bosses know these things. Another awesome video from the King of Dedication. Thanks Chris. #devsLife #dreamCODE #dedication2theCraft

I am a UX designer so i had a hand in the design aspects of the project, but the front end guys contributed on accessibility, documentation, and even built everything as a react component library. So critical that u hammered home that front end is way more than just building sites. It is a craft

[@JPATCH677]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. I have been learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript for a while now and I will say that I find JavaScript more complicated than HTML and CSS. but I'm not giving up on any of them and it's just as you said building small projects and actually using whatever one learns on something is the fastest way to mastering it.

[@DivineZeal]

Good video. Css/HTML goes deep, especially with different HTML engines , css frameworks, advanced css topics , and learning to code in a way that JS developers and backend developers can use your code well.

[@jmonterojr]

I think the heart of what Chris is saying is that as a beginner you learn how to do something then with practice you become good at it. Probably good enough to do your job effectively. A lot of people stop there. But it takes hard work and dedication to go to the next level and try to master something. That's what separates good employees from great ones.

I never thought of it that way? I think I am pretty good with HTML, and I know I am mediocre with CSS. But I always felt inpatient, I always kept on asking others or myself I think I am ready to start applying. But despite the fact I have only been coding for almost 2 months I know I am not ready, and I will take your advice. I guess your explanation was the keep on tinkering with HTML, CSS and JavaScript until you reach a point where you become good at doing the basics even and mastering the basics. I think I said what you said correctly. Anyways I appreciate the advice and I plan on focusing on improving my skills, thanks for the video.

[@chrumczyk5494]

Learn basics, build than optimise. A cycle which I feel is really, really good in terms of learning. I work as a cook (wtf right, no html xD) and we often try to make a menu, prepare than optimise to be as efficient as possible. The same thought process your boss was giving. That's how I see it :)

This would seem to apply to JS more than HTML and CSS. How much of a difference does it really make if you can take out a few lines of HTML? On the other hand a poorly written JS function can cause significant excess processing time.

I heard someone say that for what SEO content writers need from HTML/CSS (title tags and such), you can learn most of it in a day or two - not to actually code entire sites, but to just optimize titles or overcome copy-paste glitches from content written in Word and plugged into, for example, Wordpress, and such. I'm an aspiring content writer, and I'm sort of intimidated by the idea of needed months of HTML and CSS. Will you please tell me if what I heard about SEO content writing requiring just a few days of HTML/CSS is accurate?

agree with You Men . Html and Css are important but people must spend so much time learning them and mastering them so the rule Slow === Fast , if you think you are going to learn Html Css in 3 month you are just wasting your time CSS html need 400 Hours to learn basic and to became aware about fondamentals and you need another 400 hours to master them . then go to learn Vanilla Javascript and dont even touch Framework until you spend 400 hours leaning javascript then go to Nodejs or React.
