Maybe youtube timing is not that accurate.

[@lucascampos4237]

youtube doesnt store the moment you upload a video, it kinda guess with the timing of the interations. I might be wrong

[@wlockuz4467]

You can setup early access so that your members or Patreon supporters get early access to videos compared to normal viewers

[@dimitmoto1716]

I think that you don't need to learn all that stuff that Kayle says in the video to land your first job. It' a junior position. In my opinion to find your first job as a frontend developer all you need to know is : html, css ( included flexbox and mediaqueries), good javascript knowledge, basic react (basic components knowledge, jsx, useState,useEffect, you must be able to create on your own a todo list and to fetch data from an api and render them on the page), git/github, 1-2 portfolio projects. All that is enough, but you need a lot of practice, you must be able to create on your own simple working things. The rest of the staff referred to the video are good to build a solid background as a developer and you can learn them after getting your first job or learn them the same period you are applying for jobs.

[@Xraxus_]

Thank you. After watching this video I got a big FOMO and felt bad. I'm currently learning React and can actually do all these things. I haven't started applying yet, as I need to build my portfolio. So, your words actually made me feel better about my skills :)

[@dimitmoto1716]

@@Xraxus_ No problem, I wrote that from my personal experience, at least for my country ( where there are not so many jobs like usa, germany, uk etc). When you build the projects for your portfolio ( they don't need to be very fancy), start applying to jobs even if you don't know all the staff they ask. You don't have anything to lose. If they call you for an interview you win even if they will not offer you a job, because you ll get free interview practice and useful experience for the future interviews. Also do connections with people that are already web developers for example friends or people you meet in programming meetups. In my country for most entry level positions they don't do job posting, but they rely on referrals. I have a friend who got his first programming job as a programmer ( backend developer) without knowing html, css, javascript. He knew only Java and core java, not java frameworks. He just had a friend in a company where they needed a junior developer. Then he learned the Spring framework basics in his first 2 months as part of his job training ( and he was paid the same time) .

[@Randorandom232]

​@@Xraxus_I can do these things too But don't feel like it's enough!

[@chetan9533]

​@@Randorandom232 it's very common to not feel ready ❤. Don't stop learning, but also know that there'll always be something you feel you need to know "to be ready". New tools/frameworks/libs are releasing so frequently. So don't make too many plans which require you to "be ready" first.

Incredible video! This entire roadmap is so useful, not only as a resource for what's out there to learn and to manage the journey, but also as a motivator for learners to keep going.

[@JoelMorrison-g3h]

Came for the front end development, stayed for the front end of your hair. That's the real story here!!

[@ryanfernandes3937]

Don;t know why I laughed at that

[@dand4485]

The one thing i'd add, CSS... There are two things with this, one is the quirks with your classes, i.e. how some properties bleed through, and may say like display: ???? may effect children. That is half the CSS maze... The other side is then understanding and using CSS selectors and might say this also has implications kind of the same but one for styling (i.e. all a tags contained in style x) , but understanding selectors when testing stuff with something like Playwright, and more and more jobs for devs require you to write tests be it Playwright, Cypress and others. If you want something that is solid and works, of course you'll use Playwright... 😊

[@jasperburchfield2028]

CSS was hard enough to learn in the old days, but they keep adding extra layers of complexity.

[@h4ves0me40]

Year and a half since my first 'Hello world!' I can say i have a solid understanding of all these technologies thanks to a 4 completed courses, 1 personal full stack app and 1 nextjs app written in typescript. Currently looking for a full time job but the fight is tough. So many juniors, so few positions 😞

Flex box and Grid layout modelling become so common things nowadays that nobody needs to remember how to make a table-based layout or div-based layout with magic as float:left|right and clear:both aftermath and honestly, this is awesome!

[@Rakesh6720]

Thanks for the detailed video. One thing I would add to your list is to read web dev job descriptions for where you want to live/work. For example, some parts of America prioritize backend languages like C# and Go over JavaScript. It may be helpful to first learn a strongly typed backend language before immersing one’s self in Typescript.

[@deanlane]

Hey Kyle, I just wanted to say thanks for all the great content over the years. You have made my learning so enjoyable. Your videos, posts and course are so content rich they have accelerated my learning. I’m really looking forward to joining your early bird NextJS course once it’s ready. Thanks Kyle. When you’re next in Toronto I’d love to pick your brain and shout you a beer. Cheers.

[@deatho0ne587]

Frontend Skip CSS for the most part, using something like UnoCSS. Can edit it after to make it more custom - Suggestation for UnoCSS since Tailwind is basically CSS in the HTML and UnoCSS gives you something decent looking out the box - Maybe later going into Tailwind and/or Bootstrap React and Angular have roughly equal in enterprise, React is generally liked better by most DEVs though Would almost recomend TS out the gate, you can use pure JS then have a bit type safety which is great for practice - Depending what is in your IDE, TS will not complain enough to matter either Backend - No real order on this Languages - Java, C++, Rust, Go - These are based on what I have seen in different enterpise solutions Some FE/BE Frameworks - Astro - closer to FE, can also use most likely any FE framework in it - HTMX - some extra HTML stuff to handle most of the JS, likes getting HTML instead of JSON Would also look into WebAssembly

[@Default_-ij5oc]

Terrible advise knowing fundamentals of html css is a must

[@deatho0ne587]

Think of UnoCSS as a corporations project style.css and the user is a new Dev, meaning even Hello World will have some basic style to it. First request of the new Dev is either a new component or a new page. Two most important parts is can they get data from an API (JS) and can they have it display at all on the page (HTML) in a logical way? If not the CSS does not matter, if so make it pretty. The biggest issue I have had with CSS is other DEVs complex changes that could have been a few lines instead of a few 100. Think some of it comes from the mentality of "how to center a div". CSS key things to learn - Do not do anything, your site will be responsive (kevin powell). Another way to say is do as little as you can with CSS - Learn display grid and flex with the things that go with them, this should cover most layouts. - Height should almost never be touched unless it is on an image. Font-size should handle the size for the most part - There are other things to learn example font-size, width, padding, margin. There is also things like px, em, rem, ch - Look for modern CSS meaning post 2020 though

[@tripunify]

not ultimate, not just for 2024, other than that, it makes sense.

As someone who is COMPLETELY shifting career fields, can anyone shed some light on the importance of getting "certificates" to put on your resume/profile from places like udemy/coursera? I've really been digging the way Kyle explains things and would love to take his courses but didn't notice anything on the subject of certs, so I am genuinely curious! Thank you so much for the info you put together here for people like me trying to switch up life!

Thanks for this! I am a career shifter and this video is a perfect guide.

[@TheMasculineUrgency]

I've been following you for about 3 years now and I have to say you are amazing.

[@1CreativeDeveloper]

I feel like learning something about performance, seo and accessibility is something that is overlooked and that frontend devs should spend more time on these basic concepts, which can be useful to know about no matter what frameworks they en up using.

[@glurp1er]

If you learned React, you'd know how to create a website. If you learned Javascript, you'd know how to create React. Anyway, if you are a junior developer looking for a job *right now* then React is probably the way to go, but as a senior Javascript developer I just hate it.

[@abdellahi03]

Thank you Kyle, Thank you so much, you are really a nice and great person indeed

[@punkweb]

Saying backend doesn't use html/css *at all* is misleading. I would definitely recommend that a beginner backend developer still start out with html/css and even javascript. They're the fundementals of the web. And backend dev does involve working with all three, although obviously not as much as a frontend dev.

[@4115steve]

here's a list of what I'm learning 1. Python 2. javascript 3. Rust 4. go 5. HTML CSS 6. Linux- Kali and Arch 7. vim 8. git 9. gitlab CI CD 10. google cloud 11. json 12. svelte 13. sass 14. postgres SQL 15. yarn package manager 16. website security 17.

[@cavemutt]

I know most of what you've recommended, and I've applied for almost a hundred jobs without even so much as an initial interview. All the jobs that say "entry-level" still ask for 3+, 5+ or more years of paid experience in some form of development. Frustrating to say the least. I'm working on a better portfolio and personal website in between what I have to do to survive until I get a dev job.

[@buraxta_]

You do an amazing job 🎉🎉

[@TayambaMwanza]

Even if one is going to learn React picking up Angular is also a good idea, theres still a ton of jobs out there, Angular is having a Renaissance and also since its a stricter framework, when you get to React it might help you with your intiution on what solutions you might need, just my 2 cents.

[@FlashDazz]

Thanks For Your Roadmap !! , I actually following it .

[@rpf23543]

I’m missing Ruby on Rails in the frontend section. It still plays a key role and is an awesome framework, even though not as hyped as react. But why always following the hype? With rails 7 it is more up to date than ever and does not need to hide…

[@Mrfrontend]

I feel some of the advice in this video is not global. For example where I live NextJS / Remix are generally considered must haves. Additionally, I don't feel CSS is optional and should go hand-in-hand while learning HTML. Great video, like the effort you put into the content of this video.
