Another thing to add on, when you're building you own project, even if it's just for your resume or portfolio, write user stories. You will be writing stories in your job so it's best to learn how to do them earlier and figure out estimation. This was one of the things that helped me land my junior engineer position.
@@rami60s Basically describing features of the project from the user's view. For example, If I have an banking app some user stories would be like: "As a customer, I want to be able to check my balance." "As a customer, I want to be able to transfer funds." You can go quite a bit deeper with it, but that's just kind of the basic idea.
I was lucky to get an internship 2-3 months after I started coding. The fact that I was basically thrown in the middle of 5 huge projects and had to be able to work within them and build features and basically have to come up with my own code from scratch 8 hours a day helped my advance so much faster than if I was following tutorials for who know how many more months.
thats literally all you should be doing especially as self taught. That is where you build the initial experience you are not getting from a structured learning environment. Get ideas from people if you dont have your own. build tools that help you through your work day, automating your load and such. Getting your Github repo poppin with apps and tools is like building a resume.
I started learning web dev 3 years ago and never passed the tutorial inferno and gave up after a couple of months. This year I decided to give it another try and ill keep your advice in mind, already have a project in mind. The new set looks really good ♥
I think another thing to try would be to clone an app or website and somehow make it your own, this way you can also learn how to do some design yourself and well as architecture. I've been using angular for the past 3-4 years but want to learn react so I recently started a clone for the GeoGuesser game. This will help me figure out how to code the structure for a game, as well as learn more about about the Google Maps API.
Another great video. love the advice. like you say, try and add something to a follow along video or create your own project. with so many people taking the same courses online, when looking for jobs everyone has the same projects on their portfolio and now these projects become almost non impressive and just overlooked by potential employers because they see it time after time. make it your own and show why and how you differ from the next guy.
Yo...well put in this vid! Some spot on tips..I've often tell people the same thing as it relates to doing small projects or immediately tweaking or building your own project that may be similar to what you just learned....good stuff!
I love your enthusiasm for what you do. Wishing you success buddy. I'm in my last year of CS degree and have been self teaching web dev, I think you've got a good pedagogical trajectory. (This 'say less' cameo killed me lol)
Hey Chau! Was just wondering if you could go through git and github in a video? Like uploading projects and how to do that. Also nice video! Really inspiring!
Great advice right here!!

Hello what are user stories?

Thank you! I genuinely enjoy doing this and strive to help anyone I can!
🔥🔥🔥 Love the new set up, and your content.
Appreciate it!!
Love the vid Chau! Starting my own projects is the main obstacle I'm having trouble overcoming. thanks for the tips!
Of course Alexa thank you!
Yeah, Stephen Grider is awesome. I’ve really enjoyed his courses.
Great advice bro! You have good energy, like everything is going to be alright.
Thanks my man!! Appreciate that
Should i take macbook pro m1 or macbook pro intel version for web development?
Should i add frontend mentor projects to my portfolio?
100%
Thank you for sharing this video great tips buddy
Thanks Krishna!
Bro keep Up the good work ❤️

Web Dev Simplified has a great tutorial on this. (Maybe Chau could do one but until then..)
I could potentially do something like this yah! Putting it on my list ☺️
Awesome vid!
Thank you Gav!!
Do coding tutorials
Possibly! Haha maybe in the future for sure haha
