RE: Taking Web Development to the next level | $1,200 USD in courses

in Programming & Dev3 years ago

You can't pull through without extensive practice on top... those are actually thousands of hours of work. Good Lord in Heaven, The-Impossible-Quest.

You might want to just focus on Web and Python at first. Drop JAVA - that's not what you want to learn and stay at min. required level of SQL. None ever wanted to go down the SQL Rabbithole, because it has the power to change you forever.

This is the way.

Yeah man definitely, I was even hesitating in getting the Java one (I also looked into C++ but with Java I was already overreaching) but it was so cheap (like 8 bucks) that I just said what the hell I'll just store it there for future Eric to deal with it.

The main plan - I accept suggestions - is to kick the shit out of JS, HTML and CSS, begin the job interviews if needed while Node and React are getting dealt with, and maybe land some front end low ball gig that pays the bills afterwards. While I'm at the gig I'll begin with Python on my free time and see where to go from there. I was thinking of including Ruby in the bundle but tbh I think with Python I'm already gonna have my hands full for a while.

Yeah, I'm calculating that if I have 480 hours worth of courses, I will at least need 4x that to get where I want to be. Considering I can invest like 30 hours a week well, that is long term planning skills at peak (at least for me, where I used to not plan the next meal).

Thanks for dropping by!
