What I do as a Front-end Web Developer

I’m currently learning Front-End development so this video is nice to see. It’s easing my mind more and your aura just seems so peaceful from this video. Thank you!

[@Joselyn.Oparaji]

Hello, I'm looking to start a career in front-end development, can you recommend pages or sites I can learn from as as a beginner? Thank you ❤

[@Tynesse]

@@Joselyn.OparajiI can’t really recommend a lot because I’ve only just started my own learning. But I’m using Coursera to learn front-end development. I paid for the course but I did use the financial aid option to get them at a great discount.

[@bellow247]

I’m a freelance designer and freelance front end developer, Great summary of what it looks like as a front end developer working for an actual company. I’ve always felt like you need to know so much to get your foot in the door but I feel as if you can learn a ton more on the job as well!

[@theminimaljess]

That’s so dope!! I’ve been thinking about going the freelance route or at least trying to learn more about how to get started. You will learn a ton working for a company if the company is good! They will always want to see you grow and are always excited to help!

[@p.danica]

I’m a CS major and I can’t decide what I wanna focus on with that degree. I’m so glad I came across your channel!! This video was very informative. I’m now gonna binge watch your videos related to web development😂

[@HopeGeorgewill-tb9lw]

Am a front end developer and I don't have any job for now. I guess what you explained in the video would go a long way for me, because I don't really know what front end developer do everyday in their workplaces. My confidence has increased and I hope to get a job soon, thanks sharing your experience

[@joelizab]

I just realized im a front end developer watching this video. 😩

[@obibiamarachi260]

Thank you Jess. I've been a bit overwhelmed since I made the decision to go into Frontend development a few days ago. This video is uplifting. Thank youuu.

[@theminimaljess]

I'm glad it was helpful! You got this!

[@IzzysDiaries97]

I am following you because of this video!! Currently trying to figure out how I want to further my tech career. Web developer, cybersecurity consultant, data analyst, IT project manager, Network engineer … like there are sooo many different paths you can take and it is a little overwhelming. This helped detail exactly what to expect in regards to front end web development!

[@Therazule]

This was such a great video to watch as a person just about to start learning front end development. This was so much more transparent for the day to day of the job. I'm really looking forward to getting started!

[@theminimaljess]

Thank you! I just finished a full stack bootcamp but I want to focus on Frontend. I needed this video!

What bootcamp did you do and how did you like it?

[@benjaminbrent1089]

Thank you for the information Sister. Blessings 🙏

[@rabbidumgyan2250]

Great video! At a point I thought I have lost my way in programming. Hearing this from you has really inspired me.🤗 I didn't know the mere HTML & CSS I learnt could even fetch me a job.

[@theminimaljess]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support. I honestly think this might be rare but I also feel like going in honest with the company is always best and you'd be surprised how many companies are ok with learning on the job as long as you show the drive and passion you have for what you are doing.

[@peretuayaowei6493]

Great Video. I'm at the beginning of learning front-end stuff. It would be nice if you would show some kind of typical workflow/to-do's as a front-end webdeveloper. To have a idea which part of creating a homepage is your job, and what is the work of the back-end and webdesigner God bless you

So it seems you work at a creative agency not a tech company? Is that better if you want to create projects from the ground up. I heard that people who work at big companies don't get to start building sites from scratch very often. I hear its just small features they work on. What do you think about this

[@jefestar]

I'm also a front end / blockchain developer in atlanta heading back to miami. I love seeing my culture growing in this field 🙌🏾🤞🏾🤎

How do you move from front end to Blockchain programming

[@jefestar]

@@ShinyJay youtube, alchemy, codedamn, dapp-world… there’s some many resources

[@mirojay-wh7mh]

Wonderful insight & inspiration. Thank you a lot! I have finished my three term Master in Web Engineering last year while working 80% as a security agent in a jail. The last three years were very intense and the fact that my then girlfriend who I loved so much left me didn’t really help in that situation. But I didn’t give up, looked for a codeing mentor online and found a senior frontend developer who gives me coachings once per week or when I can’t solve a problem which is a true blessing. I am learning React and advanced CSS right now while keeping sendind job applications to enterprises here in Switzerland. I believe in myself to find my first job as a frontend developer and I get up each day at 4 AM to meditate and work out before work. I am 48. May God bless you all 🙏🏼❤️

[@mario312]

I always belived I needed to be at senior engineer level just to get an entry level something and then prove my way up.

which companies uses static pages with html and css nowadays did you mean react and angular

[@jsledge97]

How’d you get a job just know html and css ?? I know Java and I still can’t find one

[@Realjeccko]

Thank you very very much for making this videos

[@youngjesus5992]

I’m currently a welder. But I really enjoy learning about coding. I have my eyes on web development. Took a FullStack bootcamp but was too early for me and with the limited time I have cuz of work, I wasn’t able to study after classes so the bootcamp really kicked my ass. Was too fast paced for me. As of rn it’s just a hobby but eventually I would like to get a job as a front end developer, possibly. The only languages ik atm are HTML, CSS, Python, and some JavaScript. I can definitely create static websites. But now I’m tryna learn JavaScript as well to add more to the websites. Beyond HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, idk anything lol I hear frameworks being mentioned but don’t really know what they are

[@batman-sr2px]

Did you learn html, css,python, and Javascript all during the boot camp or you knew beforehand?

[@ptrshka_]

Learn react

[@Ozgipsy]

Good video, very helpful.

[@meganlove5681]

Do you use any css frameworks? I see a lot of jobs wanting css frameworks like sass or bootstrap. I also see react being wanted a lot and WordPress

[@theminimaljess]

I used Bootstrap in the project that got me hired at my previous job and SASS a few times on the job. I do think it's great to learn them eventually but if you are just starting your journey, I recommend focusing on vanilla CSS , JavaScript, etc. In the end, everything depends on the job and what they require but showing that you know CSS just as it is without frameworks shows that you can pick up on frameworks if you need to for a job. I wouldn't let the fact that the job description lists frameworks deter you from applying if you know CSS and not the framework because sometimes they don't even end up having you use certain technologies it's just a "nice to have" thing. (my experience). Hope this helps!

[@Clareau]

Thank you so much for this video. I truly enjoyed it and already a month into being a self taught front end web developer. My question for you is do you have any specific sites that you can provide me for certificates ?

[@anitaerhabor]

Hi, Pls I would love to know how you taught yourself front end development

Hi Jess, thanks for the isight. I have 5year of Manual tester with exposure of SQL etc. Still confused about where to start as no network firined for me. Open to study for the web devploment. can you put insight how long is the learning curve,practice and job with initial start package. Just rough idea. Thanks in advance as your video is so transparent about what you said.

[@DJ-yy8iz]

Meta has courses do you suggest starting there?

[@silverfullbuster9177]

Do you honestly think AI will replace devs in general say in the near future? I'm currently self learning and would be upset if all the effort I put has gone to vain

[@theminimaljess]

I understand your concerns completely! I posted a video discussing my views if you want to check it out 💕

[@cafelatte1124]

Nah, AI sucks in doing anything specific. The current LLM gives you answers for high approximation of what you would expect. It has no way to judge or verify if that information is good or not so it gives you wrong answers frequently. You can tell ChatGPT to write css and it most likely is going to look like ass.

[@iwelabibookson2894]

I really like be good in full stack

[@cozy.cardigans]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a copyeditor/writer and the industry in Tokyo is very dry--so I've been contemplating a career change to web design/dev for the last 2 months. Your videos are some of the most informative I've found. What do you think of the gender bias in the industry? I know things will be different for me in Japan (where it's even more patriarchal and "traditional") but I'd love your input~

[@nikkicoleman3050]

Did you get a bachelor's degree in computer software and is it possible to find a career as a front end developer with an associate degree?

[@alexisdiamond2529]

Yes a lot of developers don’t have a college degree . Some do.everyones journey isn’t the exact same . The most important thing is can you do the job

How many pages are you required to create per day? Is there a quota

[@theminimaljess]

When I was working at the agency, there wasn't a requirement of pages per day. We mostly did one at a time because there were multiple sites we were working on and most of them were already built but the company wanted a new page or edits to an existing one, things like that. 💕
