What I do: Teach people about web development.
As one would expect, this leads to lots of calls for advice: How do I get into this field?
This is my roadmap...
Broad overview of the technologies:
What do web developers do?
- Front-end
- Back-end
- Full stack
- App dev
- Sysadmin, design, interface, project manager, bookkeeper, accountant, therapist, etc.
Generalist vs. Specialist food for thought:
- Freelancing/Solopreneur
- Web Shop or Studio
- In-House Developers for Companies
- Traditional academic programs
- Bootcamps
- Apprenticeships
- Self-study
- Inspiration: 180 websites in 180 days
- Register your domain, preferrably with your own name in it.
- Set up your personalized email (ex:
mail@yourname.com). - Read this PDF and make sure your site follows the best practices outlined.
- Showcase your best work (quality over quantity).
- Job postings
- Network
- Advertise yourself
