WATCH THIS IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A WEB DEVELOPER! - Web Development Career advice

[@JBAudio]

We need more of this kind of stuff! There is so much out there, and tons of resources for learning it all, but there seems to be very little in the way of illustrating the broader picture and tying it all together. I would LOVE to see a series that covers both the front-end and back-end development and deployment of a basic web application using some of these tools and frameworks so we can see first-hand how it all works together. I've yet to find anything like that though.

[@andresalejandrogarciahurta5856]

Just learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, some basic terminal commands, a Distributed Version Control System (Git, Mercurial, SVN, etc), Meteor, MongoDB and maybe ReactJs and a CSS frontend framework (Bootstrap, Materialize, Material UI, etc). That will be much more than enough to become a web developer! and more importantly you will be able to develop a full featured web application like in no time!! stuff like testing, protocols, web platforms, server management, etc come after! That's my humble suggestion. I watched this video the last year and tried to follow the recommended path (having already experience in frontend technologies and relational database management) but I felt it was literally too much! there are some steps that are unnecessary or are not a concern for a beginner! But thanks for the video anyway... Of course this is also a matter of choice, I have chosen the above stack!

[@GhostStxar]

+Andrés Alejandro García Hurtado Roughly how long do you think it would take to learn those technologies, and would it be okay to substitute Angular for Meteor?

[@andresalejandrogarciahurta5856]

+Rashawn Jacobs It might take you from three to five months to understand and get used to them, and the rest is just a whole lot of practice. Meteor is actually a platform (client + server + database + other things) to develop web and hybrid mobile applications written in pure Javascript. That being said, you can detach the default javascript front-end framework (Blaze) and use any other you want (as long as you are able to integrate it with the Meteor ecosystem or use an existing package to do so). Meteor currently supports natively three different javascript front-end frameworks, Blaze (default), Angular and React. So technically, you cannot substitute Angular for Meteor, you can actually use Angular with Meteor.

[@TheSystemaSystem]

+Andrés Alejandro García Hurtado I've learned HTML, PHP, CSS, MySQL, basic JS, jQuery, Wireframes and CMS's like Bootstrap, WordPress, Web hosting and quite a lot of theory and history behind the web development, all in my first ~8 months of my bachelor. Currently working on learning JavaScript fully, but the language is shite. Utter rubbish imho. It is God, and I am the lonely ant on the other side of the magnifying glass. So. Tired. Of. JavaScript. Until I realized I've only just started 2 weeks ago on learning JS.

[@Hunterx777x]

So would you say that studying what you have mentioned will be enough to get a job as a front end Web Developer? Thanks for this.

[@fdsafdsafdsaffdsafdsafdsaf3406]

Thank for your great advice! With the skill you said is enough to be front-end or full-stack web developer? Because meteor is full stack framework. What if i replace meteor with nodejs, is it ok?

[@RobertGordon1981]

As a programmer already, your vids are great and helps me refresh when I spend time studying code!!!! thank you for the tutorials :)

[@learncodeacademy]

Joseph Gordon Thanks Joseph!

[@bnwo]

Also, this video is great for seeing how stuff all works together, and where leaning something maybe be (as a newbie) unnecessary (at least in the beginning).

[@playinthroulife]

dude........ seriously... you have no idea how helpful this video was for me ! just great GREAT job !, subbed !

[@digitalfriday]

Great video! I've been programming C# Windows applications for 10 years, and always wondered about what is required for web development and the differences between the myriad of frameworks that seem to pop up every week. This video answered all the important questions! Fantastic!

[@VITASello]

Omg man, just yesterday I was searching for a video like this, couldn't find a single one later than 2013. But here you are! Awesome dude, thanks :)

[@FuIImatiK]

This is some helpful stuff. This is gold to someone that's starting off or even thinking of getting into the development world. Good upload.

[@9TAIE6]

I love how I can hear the passion you have for what you do over the microphone, I hope I'll get there too :)

[@titotitoburg6298]

What I like about the way you teach is that as soon as you show something complicated and scary on-screen you're like "don't let this scare you, it's realllly easier than it seems" I've noticed this throughout your videos, and whenever it happens it makes me feel better each time.

[@learncodeacademy]

+Tito Titoburg Great to hear. Every dev knows what it is like to feel terrified of certain technologies. Especially when they introduce new scary words haha.

[@goldilockszone4389]

Please do a 2016 update. Just a quick update should help us all. Please could you cover the Mobile development world tooo.

[@learncodeacademy]

Oh, and I'll have the updated version out here in a week or so as well.

[@theasdazx]

do a lot of things change in one year :o ? +LearnCode.academy

[@goldilockszone4389]

I am really keen to know about the Mobile development platform like Ionic, PhoneGap, Configure.it, Rubymotion,matrix and a ton of others. I am especially keen to know if one should stick to the native world of JAVA and SWIFT or can one venture in these areas too. One predominant factor being time to market.

[@dushansilva1]

waiting for it :D

[@kairoswave]

+theasdazx they sure do bro! new stuff comes out! but thats the beauty ^-^ always learning.

[@webdevelopers1]

i am doing web development from 4 years but the video is still freaking me out!

[@learncodeacademy]

Oh no...nobody needs to know all of this stuff to get a job. I added it all in, because people are at all levels of learning, so a few pointers that most devs can take to figure out what to learn next.

[@NicoKaiser]

Seriously, this is a great source for watching and learning! Sometimes you can get absolutely lost in the jungle of all those frameworks and tools that seem to do the same things. Nice to have an overview! Thanks for creating all the stuff!

[@learncodeacademy]

+Nico Kaiser Thanks Nico! Glad to help!

[@scottsdoingwhat]

Hey Will just want to say I think your video tutorials are amazing!! you have a way of getting me to understand the information, I need laymens terms and analogys to take in any info, my attention span is poor when it comes to reading or if someone waffling on and on, you manage get the point across well. THANK YOU!!

[@driftmaster1628]

Can you make a 2016 update

[@ahmadaziz1800]

+driftmaster1628 yeah, need 2016 version

[@t.7527]

driftmaster1628 2017 version now.

[@YoungBosnia]

lmao

[@bock8855]

2021 version now.

[@grggg]

awesome video :) I've been a web developer for quite some time now but still got to know some stuff i've never heard before. i guess we all want a 2016 update of that. hope you will make videos for every part of the stack, your channel is really cool and the way you speak and teach stuff is very clear and fun to watch. way to go and keep up the good work!

[@nam.truong]

I started learning web designing half a year ago. Then I was caught up in coding, so I thought front-end development would be fun, so I digged more about Javascript and Jquery. It's never easy for me to move from designing background to web development. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed because there are so many things to learn and I have no idea where to start or what I really need to learn. Now I find your video and it helps me see a clearer and bigger picture of web development, it also freaks me out lol.

[@learncodeacademy]

Nam Truong I promise it doesn't feel uncomfortable forever...it is a learning curve, especially if you're coming from design (I did the same thing), but you wake up one day and you're not uncomfortable with code anymore.

[@nam.truong]

LearnCode.academy Thanks for your reply, hopefully it will get easy for me.

[@davidjalieh6043]

This is such a great map. Makes me understand the structure of the web and its underlying development. Thank you very much for this! There should be more people like you.

[@tristanmarroquin749]

Thank you so much for all this help. I saw your video about 9 months ago and started my web development journey because of it.

[@learncodeacademy]

Tristan Marroquin Thanks Tristan, super-glad to be of help.

[@robl39]

I am a web developer for one of the largest tax and accounting software firms in the world and I can say that this video is spot on. And for anyone wondering, yes you have to learn a unit test frameworks! I would recommend everyone learn karma and jasmine. Things like Grunt, Bower, Node are necessities. Every good web developer knows these tools. And for server side stuff, I would learn .Net (Asp.Net Web API 2.0 framework) or Java (Tomcat)... possibly with Python's Django. Micro service architectures exposed through REST API's are the future!!! Great video!

[@ZachBellShow]

Thank you so much! I'm currently in a blue collar industry that requires a lot of my time, and I've been rather lost on where to start my piecemeal learning process, and this completely cleared that up for me. Thanks again!

[@learncodeacademy]

Ethan Erkiletian Yeah, it's very tough to figure out which tech is important to know (since every website brands their tool as essential). Glad to share what I've learned over the years.

[@jchub7096]

I wanted to get into web development and watched this video back in August. Going the front-end then re-watching it now makes totals sense. With lots of practice in most of these areas now I can't wait to start working as a front-end developer. Thanks :D

[@learncodeacademy]

+James Peterson Nice man! Great to hear you've made all that progress!

[@melissagalush9750]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video and the mindmap. I really wanted to learn the big picture before I started diving in to programming but really struggled to find anything helpful until this video.

[@artofjoey1972]

Most things I learn is trial and error. This was a great video to watch to know the direction I want to go and the knowledge I need to learn to get there.....so thank you!!

[@austincallaghan2606]

you were right about react getting popular. This was helpful, even though it is 3 years out of date it was good to see the full picture and how front and back ends differ

[@gongjerry2633]

Thanks a million! I gotta say it's a game changing moment! Will follow you instruction and go through the tutorials one bye one.

[@haifaash637]

This series of "most trending web developments tools " is what I search for along time and found it on your channel !! Thanx and BIG LIKE :)

[@learncodeacademy]

Haifa ASH Thanks! Glad it helped.

[@ez6314]

I have a few good ideas for some websites but didn't know where to start. Thank you so much for this guideline, I can now better prepare for the long road ahead. I learned the basics of HTML and CSS from your videos in less than a day! Continue making these awesome videos, you're making this world a better place.

[@learncodeacademy]

+eric zhou wow, great to hear Eric! If you keep going at that pace, you'll be a full-on dev in no time.

[@MrVwin]

HUGE THANKS! this tutorial is an outstanding big-image for me as a beginner. I was confused by the names and functionalities and fortunately found this perfect video.

[@learncodeacademy]

+Amin Hemati Great to hear that it helped! I do these, because I find that a LOT of devs are confused about where to begin, and what to do along the process.

[@angelalasquite]

Thank you! This video and the map you created is really a great help.

[@learncodeacademy]

+Angela Lasquite Sure thing! Hopefully it saves you some of the pain that I've had to go through!

[@angelalasquite]

+LearnCode.academy Yes, it does! I'm really at a lost. I don't know how to get my feet back to programming. So, watching this map gives me direction and options of where to go and what to do next with the options I would choose. Thank you again! More power to you!!

[@azikkii]

It's great that you've put all of the necessary tools needed for a web developer right now, but it would be cool if you could kind of give an idea of what it means to have actually mastered a certain tool. For example, I'm sure most of us can say we know CSS3 very well, but what would make someone an EXPERT at CSS and a valuable resource to a potential employee? If we are at the point where we are creating variables and our own mixins and using SASS functions and loops? Or is there a deeper layer than that. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great videos, I love your channel!

[@tinycookie9492]

Wondering the same thing about JavaScript and jquery

[@aiden7274]

+MrInsanitydj This! What is the measurement of expert? Nice video.

[@TheSystemaSystem]

+MrInsanitydj It takes approx. 10 000 hours to master something. So... There's that. Who in their right mind would spend 10k hours testing stuff in CSS...

[@andrewilliams1974]

10k hour is a rule of thumb. It truly depends on the person. I mastered HTML/CSS in a matter of 6 weeks with only working at it 10 hours per week. However, C++ was my greatest challenge.

[@JoseManuelRiveraColon]

Honestly you rock man, i feel this is the best and first video for any web designer when starting or have some doubts in what path they want to take. Great job man. Not even a $60K tech school taught me half of this. 🙌

[@learncodeacademy]

Jose Manuel Rivera-Colon Awesome! So glad it's a help to you. That's the goal - to make the learning curve less painful than it was for me.

[@mattislarsson132]

I've been coding web and games for 20 years and I watched this whole video with a smile on my face. So much exciting stuff is happening, and so quickly. I can check almost every box on this list, and still the video taught me a few things. Great job! Oh yeah, coggle.io is wonderful as well.

[@learncodeacademy]

***** Hey, I'll take that..If I can teach a pro like you anything at all, I'm feeling good. Thanks for the comment!

[@naghmakhan8654]

updated version for 2016 please !! :)

[@MrSerbeus]

Thanks for putting this together and all your work for the development community. You rock!

[@learncodeacademy]

Jacob Simmons Hey, glad to share what I've learned/discovered through pain and turmoil haha. Thanks Jacob!

[@shannonmyers4972]

This video is absolutely amazing, it made me realize that there is more about Web Dev than simple HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and hosting. Even though i am still in high school, this gives me hope that i can achieve my goal of becoming a Web Developer, i just need to do some hard work.

[@josher3436]

[@Comment276]

You're awesome man, I been switching to back-end and you made this insanely easier. I've been skipping over some things without being aware.

[@learncodeacademy]

This is great man, work in Oil & Gas and trying a career change into web development, your video's are a lifeline! Cheers

[@learncodeacademy]

+XuBlax thanks! Glad to hear!

[@bnwo]

Can you do a video about what developers actually do in the workplace? I think a lot of us want to turn our hobby into a professional, but I'm unsure of my skillset being up to par for a fast paced workplace.

[@learncodeacademy]

***** Great thought...I'll totally have to put that together.

[@richardtomy8757]

LearnCode.academy As fast as possible would be nice :)

[@forexdragon]

Awesome roadmap for getting into web dev!

[@icarmelyne]

What to learn if you're a Web Developer. Front End seems to be missing section for optimizing performance (example: developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/?hl=en) #webdevelopment

[@learncodeacademy]

Carmelyne Thompson Great thought. I just added it to build tools with that link for now. Thanks!

[@NiOko2013]

I don't typically leave comments but I just had to say thank you for giving me an exact path for web development you are awesome!!!

[@learncodeacademy]

Thanks a ton!

[@kakokako88]

Give us 2016 update, s'il vous plait! Merci.

[@000retaliate]

Love this video! I've shared it a ton! Thanks for the 2016 update on coggle! I check it often to see if you have added anything to it!

[@manwize07]

Thanks for the update. This video is excellent and helped me decide to stay on the Front-End. Back-End development seems to getting a little too much for newbies, especially when you aren't young.

[@learncodeacademy]

manwize07 There's definitely a lot more new "mental ground" to cover in backend...I remember making that transition, it felt like a black box that would never end. I'd say the feeling lasts that way for 1-2 years...at least it did for me.

[@gswebdev276]

Hey, just wanted to let you know, I watched this all the way through and took notes. I am pretty new to Web Development (only learned HTML in high school) so I was curious about what I would need to learn and the tools. This video is very helpful! I appreciate it. I'm not nervous at all about what web development entails, just hope I don't have a problem with remembering it when i learn. I am currently going through Webacademy and later on I will do other learning sites such as TreeHouse. I also created a youtube regarding webdevelopment for myself, so that I can post videos of my progress. Thank you.

[@notethanpeyton]

Thank you for the rundown! I'm going to start watching your videos on the basics right after I get done dry-heaving from all the information I just took in. :)

[@learncodeacademy]

Ethan Peyton Haha, I hear you...no need to memorize the map here, just consult with it from time to time as you're knocking stuff out. At the end of the day, it's much simpler than all the detail I needed to include... If you went frontend, you'd really learn say HTML+CSS+JS+Angular and tooling around that stack. If you went backend, you'd learn say HTML+CSS+JS+Ruby on Rails and tooling around that stack. Not as daunting when you think of it like that.

[@notethanpeyton]

So would you recommend if I'm looking to create a site from scratch. Would be a fairly comprehensive site with lots of pages and information. I know I'm biting off more than I can chew, but hiring people costs actual money!

[@learncodeacademy]

If your site is mostly information and little to no "application" then a CMS like Wordpress is still probably the best bet for you.

[@notethanpeyton]

The final goal is basically a crm with lots and lots of information tracking and entry features but a minimalistic look and feel.

[@notethanpeyton]

And thank you by the way for responding. I feel like I'm talking to a movie star. :D

[@93erickm]

GREEEEAT iniciative, i`m kinda looking for a video like this since I began my journey on web development, i`m really thankfull

[@gandesc]

Yes, we are in a great industry! :) A great thumbs-up for the video!

[@AnatolyKhalizev]

Yes! Cool description. I'm starting web design and development in 2014 November and I know only wordpress. And I don't know what is github, where to start and what to do. It's interesting to know that any developer have the same issues, questions and problems that I have.

[@dhiaeddinegharsallah2923]

Simply the best guide for web developement I have found so far. Amazing job ! Thank you so much ^_^

[@duartemonteiro5025]

Love this! As a starting out web developer this is a great insight into what to follow for the future, I think followers would appreciate an update of this every year, I'm curious about Google Go Language and where it will go.

[@learncodeacademy]

Eddie Monteiro Yeah, for sure! It's a lot of fun to put together.

[@kurt8263]

Super helpful for beginning out in the development world.. I feel like a small fry, and I am, but this gives a clear cut of instructions. THANK-YOU!

[@learncodeacademy]

+Kurtis Emling You know, it's not as daunting as the huge list looks...most of these are tooling not languages.

[@heliomoonwave]

You are beyond amazing for describing all of this. I am so much more informed and organized now. Thanks a million!

[@learncodeacademy]

Josh Foster Thanks Josh! It's great to hear it helped you out!

[@OrestLubinets]

Wow, good sound quality, finally. Congatulations!

[@learncodeacademy]

Orest Lubinets haha yep, finally got rid of that headset mic.

[@jasonfoster3196]

Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and time.

[@themonkyofdoom]

Thank you very much for this video. I was very excited to see this updated, as your 2014 mind map has served for my learning curriculum in front-end development. Question posed to anyone interested in answering: I have built two personal projects using Angular's controllers, custom directives, services (utilizing $q for JSON encoded by PHP from a MySQL database). I understand first-class functions in JS, as well as closures and basic functional programming. With basic AngularJS skills on my resume, I have recruiters contacting me about jobs that do not contain 'junior' at the beginning. I then tell them that I consider myself more of a junior-level candidate, and then I never hear back. (I am trying to switch from a career in academic research.) When I have the basics of all of the front-end stuff down, should I limit myself to only junior-level roles? (I need to learn SSH, unit testing still)

[@learncodeacademy]

themonkyofdoom Unless you think by looking at the job posting that you're complete toast, I'd go for it. If you get embarrassed, the questions you get asked for an over-your-head position are invaluable knowledge! Better to get your butt kicked than never try.

[@FrancoisvanderMerwe]

Brilliant video champ!! This has really helped me and our team decide on which technologies we can implement. Could you please make an updated video for the new year that is ready to kick off? I think there are allot of other development teams that are not aware of most of these technologies and could really benefit!

[@learncodeacademy]

+Francois van der Merwe Thanks! I think at this point, the biggest things I'd emphasize: - React + Redux is an awesome frontend framework combo - Webpack is the build system to choose these days (you often just need npm scripts + webpack, no grunt/gulp, too) - Docker is a must-start-learning for backend/devops personnel - Tutum & Rancher are great docker UI's - GoLang is picking up steam everywhere I notice and is great for microservices as is Node.js

[@MilanB]

You sir, are the genius! I find your videos always informative.

[@learncodeacademy]

Milan :D Thanks Milan!

[@binh2518]

Great video man! Can't wait for your coming 2016 version!!

[@learncodeacademy]

Recording it today!

[@welcometomoe]

It was actually the most helpful video i ever watched, and less than a year ago i watched that video, and thanks to you when i just looked to your map now I was like ohh i learned so much stuff, I'm now into Back-End, because some companies i applied to asked for a little knowledge of Back-End development, and today i will be able to finish learning Ruby Basics, which i started learning it today, however back then i was learning Front-End, and i actually didn't know what is Front-End, so yeah Thanks Well, You just let many people get a job and do the work what they were born to do.

[@learncodeacademy]

Mohammed Rabay'a Thanks for sending that! It's great to think that the things I had to learn over the painful years can help other developers save a lot of time and pain. Have a great day!

[@welcometomoe]

LearnCode.academy Thank you for sharing your experience with world, people needed this and here it's.

[@jessicasylvester4167]

I'm so new to this it kinda seems overwhelming looking at what I need to learn but your explanations helped me have a better understanding of web development and helped me decide this is something I definitely want to be part of. Thanks.

[@learncodeacademy]

JESSICA SYLVESTER It's not quite as daunting as it may seem at first. A lot of things on this list are tools, not languages. So if you go frontend, you'd learn say HTML+CSS+JS+Angular and tools around that stack. If you go backend, you'd learn say HTML+CSS+JS+Ruby on Rails and tools around that stack. Not quite as bad if you think of it that way.

[@MarcHershey]

I'm not going to lie.. if you know a little bit from everything you just explained on this video, you're a god. If I don't use it every day, I'll forget about it. lol idk if it's the same for everyone else, but I can say I've fiddled with everything in this video, but only a master in HTML, CSS, Jquery, Node, PHP and that's it.

[@ainxtyan]

I started out with PHP, went to Node and now I'm on the Microsoft stack and I can't for the life of me figure out why you'd recommend staying away from ASP.NET. It makes PHP look like a child's toy, and Node like a disorganized mess. On top of that, ASP.NET comes with its own client side packaging implementation that's way easier to grasp than AMD ever was. My advice is, look at what jobs in your area are looking for. I live in Seattle so ignoring ASP.NET is pretty stupid, especially since with a bit of knowledge and confidence you will find a job here with no issues whatsoever.

[@mistery4437]

[@LosEagle]

Nette framework is huge thing in my country but there are no decent updated tutorials for it aside from some confusing official guides. Wish somebody made a series on it.

[@MarcHershey]

For anyone who is new to web development, I've been developing since I got my very first computer.. and even watching this now (after 12 years of development) I still think it's a LOT. But after you start to play with one, the next one will become easier. After I learned PHP, everything else became easier (except javascript/jquery lol). it's not bad if you really love it. I've always told people who ask me about development.. you have to love it. If you don't love it, you wont learn anything.

Great Vid LearnCode.academy!! Thank you so much for putting this up. Could you also give an insight in who is an Interaction designer vs User Experience Designer vs UI Designer vs Web Designer. Which role is more analytical and problem solving vs being more skill set savvy like lets say front end developers? Or am I missing something here. Thanks a bunch!

[@learncodeacademy]

Archana Rao Hmm, great question. So to be honest, all of those that you mentioned are very much similar. It's really dependent on the company and what they determine that title to mean. That keyword "designer" to some companies means graphic designer, to others, it means coder. UI, User Experience, Interaction...can all mean the same thing. It's the same thing on the backend...am I a web developer, web engineer, software architect, fullstack developer? Depends on the company. It's really more about your skillset and what skillset the position needs.

Thanks for the video. It's useful to see [everything] mind mapped.

You recommended to stay away from C#.NET. Would you clarify your point please ? . I am a newbie to the field , I have done some researches to decide which back end technology to start with and I chose ASP.NET MVC framework over PHP because I felt it is easier to do things right (eg : oop design and layers) and its easier to maintain in the long term.
