Hey buddy! I gotta send you a quick thank you-message. I started learning Frontend development about 10 months ago, and I think the very first person I saw on YT talking about how this was possible to do self-taught, was you. After 10 months of working hard(starting with TeamTreeHouse from your recommendation at the time, to reading books, Udemy courses and building projects), I just accepted my first Frontend developer job. Transitioning into a developer job almost doubled my salary and has changed my life in many ways. And so I absolutely wanted to give you recognition for being an integral part in the beginning stages of this process. And just wanted to say thank you 😊
Been watching your videos for a couple years now, and they've always motivated me to keep pushing forward. Well, after studying React for over a year, I got a job... in Angular! The company I interviewed with was impressed with my React knowledge and guided me in learning Angular, and within a month of applying, I am now working remote for my very first web development position! I'm not smart, and certainly not the best developer, and hundreds of rejections had me on the brink of giving up. If I can do it, ya'll certainly can too!
@@lazeeeeeViet08 generally, if you have skills, you will get the job... At the end the degree is just a piece of paper if you don't have the necessary skills to work
That’s amazing great job! Do you mind sharing under which range your pay starts at? I’m looking at transitioning out of sales into something new, more specifically getting out of the mortgage industry and an increase in pay is one of the reasons. Thank you
Im learning almost 2 years. To be honest the more I learn the more I feel i know less... I think you can be a developer in 6 months, BUT... You will be pretty bad one.
Well, I'm 35 years old, never actually wrote a code, and I'm here on my first day of learning JS. Few of your videos really inspired me to start learning how to code. I hope some day I'll come back to this comment and be proud of myself that I didn't quit and changed my life for better.
I started on 17 May 2023. Let's see if I can complete all of this in 6 months. I'm currently learning Html & css. I'll let you know if I get my first job as web developer.😄
I have to say Chris, when you talked about having a learning disability, I almost cried! I have slight dyslexia and ADD and have been terrified to begin this journey worrying I will only fail. Thank you for giving me hope. Have you ever thought about doing a video talking about learning strategies for LD students?? Thanks again!
i have adhd, intern as an android dev now but the return offer is likely. It takes longer for us to take things in but its not impossible. go get em pomodoro helps me
Just take your time, i am very dyslexic but i am doing well with my journey. My only advice that might be different from his is maybe do a few projects after learning html, css and vanilla javascipt to put the knowledge into practice
I will also say for someone who is dyslexic, 6 months is probably not realistic if u are working full time or/and a family. 2 years is probably more realistic for people with other responsibilities
Hey Chris: I'm glad I'm listening to your video today. I literally started yesterday. I believe you are correct in many of your view points. I'm in my 70's and taking this web development class for the up-tenth time, not because i'm not comprehending this subject/maybe a little, but due to financial difficults, i'm paying for all of my classes. BUT, I do understand it now, and I'm on-line. And, no I'm not self taught, I needed a class somewhere. I feel that I should do videos, also. All the trials and tribulations, feeling dumb, stupid, and poor. But, you are correct, if you are really wanting to learn, you will. This is my year, buddy, if ageism comes into play, I will start my own company, There you are folks.
I appreciate you Chris, here i was thinking I wasn’t good enough to be a developer because it was taking me longer to learn topics than my peers but its nice to hear im not the only one. You got me motivated to get dedicated again and land my first job as a web developer. God bless 🙏🏾
Except you're going to memorize none of this, and currently you don't know how to slowly build a habit of learning to code on a consistent basis, so you'll just burn out if you try. It takes at least 2 years to get a grasp on full-stack web development in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript and a good 3-6 to really become good at it. Also another thing these RUclipsrs conveniently skip over is that although there is less competition, there is significantly less jobs than in sales / retail, and that junior dev jobs are nonexistent nowadays. You have to be a senior dev and have to be good at what you do, and spend a lot of time spamming out resumes on LinkedIn to get a coding job. Not trying to be rude, but these videos are incredibly disingenuous and clickbaity. There is no shortcut and developing a valuable skill takes time.
Recently started learning Full-Stack at Codecademy and having the timeline you have provided definitely helped a lot in terms of mapping out my learning journey. Additionally, creating a daily schedule for learning is great advice as well. Love the energy man and keep creating high-value youtube videos! and good luck to everyone who's starting their journey in coding!
I'm on my 3rd week in learning JavaScript. I'm documenting my learnings by posting daily on Twitter. I made the list of my daily new knowledges into a web page & deployed a github page. I'm experiment on Front-end with HTML, CSS & JS while learning JS. I want to comment, so that I can come back by 2024 & update. 🧑💻
Alright, it's week 2 of 2023. Commenting publicly for accountability's sake because I want to keep on track and bag a junior developer gig by the fall.
On my 4th year on engineering but when I discovered the tech industry, I dove onto webdev and loved the journey. Now I'm on the first month of trying to learn coding while finishing the last of my subjects in engineering. I'll come back here when I got a web dev job already. Looking forward to it!
Hi Thank you sir actually I'm a student ATM thank you for your advice thanks for the motivation I hope someday I'll come back on this video I'm able to learn all the advice and tips u gave to me
I am from Uganda and I am already done with css and html to comfortable levels and facing javascript now I really dont do anything in between so am focused mainly on studying and I promise by the end of this year am going to be a very good developer I actually made it to the end😂
As a JavaScript developer, I think it's refreshing to a realistic take on this topic. You can definitely learn HTML and CSS in 6 months. But, if you have no prior experience programming, you will have a really hard time learning JavaScript well in that time. For that, you are more realistically looking at a 12-month timescale, perhaps more to learn React. But it is really amazing that you can start an entry-level job in this high-paying field in such a short amount of time! That's why I love teaching it :)
I was taking a beginner class and was working on a coding exercise. I just couldn't get it. A week went by and I worked on it a little bit at a time. No dice. I redid the coding over and over. Three weeks went by, and I was discouraged. I questioned my dedication and intelligence. Finally I gave up and asked other students in chat. Someone posted a line of code that I had typed in. Do you know what was wrong? A COMMA INSTEAD OF A PERIOD! That's all!!! 😦And THAT, friends, is how I found out I was near sighted! 😐
Additional comment, once a person understands a certain subject as this, it will feel very good, and you have accomplished something, and actually can have fun with it.
Thanks for this video Chris. I've been learning web development for over a year. I've had 3 interviews over the last few months but have been rejected for all of them. I felt rather low and dejected so have been taking a break. This has motivated me, time to get back on the grind!
Everytime I get lost, I go back to this video. This video helped me to start, and still keeps me moving forward. After 2 months, I am now at Javascript. Thanks Chris! Greetings from the Philippines.
I've definitely been losing motivation through my self-taught web development journey but this video was just the kick I needed to get me on my feet again. Thank you a million
Hello ! I’m 28 years old and was/ am really nervous in a career change . I’m currently a truck driver but always had a love for tech. I’ve always thought I didn’t have what it takes to learn coding or that I’m to old to go to school or to learn new things but your honesty about having a learning disability is truly inspirational . I’ve felt like I learn somethings quickly and some things slowly. So thank you for all the info. It is much appreciated.
You could possibly have adhd bro, we are all built different. Please go ahead if you haven't when it comes to programing and coding etc. I'm in the same boat as you, but being a family disappointed "kid".. currently living off fiverr with my art and other stuff like photography.. so you are doing better than me since you are a truck driver.. and going for a change that will transform your life.. not many people can do this sort of thing, least comp.. least prove yourself on this one thing and you will make it. ❤
@@gemg5871 Thank you !! I really appreciate it. Still going on and learning new things everyday. You’ll get there too. I definitely know what it’s like to be the black sheep of the family . The disappointment. But when all is said and done and you prove to yourself that you’re not. That’s all that matters! We carry the ones who believe in us and leave behind the ones that don’t. Stay strong and thank you so much for the kind words!
THANK YOU for finally mentioning leetcode style questions. I feel like all I ever hear youtubers talk about is learn html, css, and js but unfortunately that is not enough to land a job in the real world.
Chris, I hope you can provide some insight for a struggling self-taught developer. For the last two years, I've been growing my skills as an indie game dev, but breaking into the games industry is a steep curve, and I've yet to be able to support myself. My language of choice has been C# and although I'm far from a master, after 2 years of barely missing any days of development, I'm quite proficient in object oriented programming. So, now that you have a little back story, I hope you'll answer a few of my questions. 1. How difficult would it be to quickly transition to web development? 2. Should I even try to switch gears, or should I just keep pressing with game development? I'll never put down game development, even if I were to get a job as a web developer it would still be a side hobby, but I need to pay the bills and I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. Again, any sort of insight is appreciated. I know time is valuable, so I may not get a response. Best wishes to you.
Any job in the entertainment industry, wether that’s acting, writing stories, game developing, dancing, directing, drawing, is really just a shot in the dark. Income is definitely not consistent which can cause a lot of anxiety, a lot of competition, it’s just really really hard. That’s why if your gonna do entertainment, do it as a side gig but definitely not your main career. And slowly build up your game dev job without putting so much pressure on your self because it’s only just a side job. Right now though, I would say put 100% into web dev or software development. An excellent combo is learning JavaScript and C#, and learn both frameworks React and .Net. Companies will definitely hire you for that. Of course HTML and CSS is a great add on. When you learn the skills, and finally get your career making decent money, THEEEEEEN start working on game dev as a side gig. Like I said you don’t have to worry about the money it generates because it’s only a side gig.
@@mariomeza3514 I actually hadn't thought of only learning JavaScript with React to get me started, but you bring up a valid point. My HTML and CSS skills don't have to be the strongest if the rest of what I bring to the table is solid. Thanks!
Ulfric: the fact that you know C# might help a little, but learning web development is an entirely separate effort. That said, if you're at least familiar with Visual Studio and .NET, that would make it MUCH easier to jump into ASP.NET/Blazor/etc development. That is to say, Microsoft has very compelling web technologies. On a related note, Typescript has quite a few similarities to C#. So that would help further. However, you would still have a huge learning curve ahead of you.
Game development is also some that I want to pursue, however I was more interested in indie game dev and I knew making a living off that would either not happen or take a long time. So I decided to focus on web dev first in order to get a career in that and then do indie game dev on the side. To give my thoughts on your questions: 1. It shouldn't be too difficult seeing as you already have quite a bit of experience. But it is worth noting that JS is quite different from object oriented languages like C# or Java. So it might take a while to get used to it. But knowing C# provides an advantage since it is used widely in the back end. There are a few separate fields within Web Dev: front end, back end, full stack, etc. So you could focus mostly on back end and learn JS and a front end framework at a basic level if you wanted. 2. I would advise to switch gears and get a steady income in a field more reliable than game dev. The skills you gain at a non-game-dev related job will still carry over massively both in the planning, creation, and shipping of a product. If you finish your work early you could also just use the extra time to study game dev.
@@UnGerardo I've considered back end as well, because I am really interested in the "under the hood" components, as well as database development. I've definitely come to realize the benefits of having a standard industry job, but I guess I asked the question because I wasn't sure how well my experience would serve me.
I'm taking the meta front-end development course and it has a similar structure to this, I'm currently learning advanced HTML&CSS since I know the fundamentals already and next is going to be React and then Advanced React, just finishes learning how Git/GitHub works and how to do pull/push. It's been a journey so far hopefully by the summer I'll be applying for places once my projects are done :)
I'm really fond of computers and had a little 3 sessions perhaps of weekly programming lessons about TurboC and DBase, that was 1995-ish. Now I wanna learn all this, for my self-fullfillment and to earn as well. I'm broke and baby #2 is on the way, I'm underpaid on my dayjob, bills are building up, I literary have ni capacity to do it financially. If someone here can help me to get into that tutorials, I will surely pay you when I get there, when I'll be a developer. My family and I will forever be in debt with you, whoever good soul you are. God bless us.
Yay made it to the end, thanks for the video👍, currently learnt html css javascript and how to use node jas and express about to enter react, this video has giving me motivation to increase my consistency
You always come across so genuine and passionate about helping folks out. I really appreciate you throwing the ladder down and helping people try to get access to something so valuable. Do you still do meet ups to help guide and mentor people? Also definitely watched the whole video, wouldn’t mind if they were hours long tbh!😅
I really don’t know anything about being a true web developer, but I really want skills that I don’t require my physical labor to make money. If you what you say is true. I should know way more 6 months from now since I really do have the time to do so. So lets see where this takes me. Thanks so much Chris for giving this information.
Today I began my journey in learning code to become a developer because of you and a few other bright mind informative developers here on YT (though your impact I've felt the most). I'm typing this to hold myself accountable and to one day hopefully return with good news in the next year. Regardless of my outcome, massive bless up to you and thank you for dedicating your time, energy and resources to put us on game! Best of luck to all the aspiring devs and those that just got their foot in the door. Let's keep fighting the good fight!
Lol my bootcamp blasted HTML CSS in 1 week haha and Javascript algorithms by 2nd week and libraries and frameworks the 3rd week and 4th week APIs and keys.... we still have 12 weeks left
Thanks for the video! Is the React section in the complete web developer course not good enough info to learn react? Obviously a whole course on the subject would be more in depth but I’m just curious.
Can anyone kindly give me constructive criticism? I don't enjoy seeing web pages , But I Imagine building android application and it gets me excited. Now... Most youtube content says, start with html, css and java script before jumping to mobile programming app... how to have the mindset or end in mind to start something to have foundation and continue working on the end goal. Thank you in advance.... im lost btw...
Hi, really enjoy the videos and advice. I was wondering what kind of pc/laptop would be recommended to start off. I currently have a 10+ yr old MacBook for reference.
How about a feedback on your code? Let’s say you are doing projects, you need some feedback on your code like where to improve or change something (even if it’s working), etc. Where do you get this feedback? Some websites or forums made for that specific purpose?
I'm so glad to have come across this video, I just found out that I did not pass the veterinary entrance exam and I don't really know what go do with my life, I always found this world very intriguing but I was always scared and since I also am a slow learner I was kinda prolonging this cuz I didn't feel like I would be able to achieve anything but I gotta say that this video really helped me!!
@@lukas.webdev Thank you! So far so good, I'm already 37% through with the Complete Web Development course from ZTM. Didn't want to be your average "Oh, thanks for the inspiration. Gonna take your advice and start becoming a full-stack developer" then proceed not to do it. I'm hoping to get through as the course is getting tougher since I'm now learning about DOM manipulation which to me is HARD to understand. However, it's still the beginning and this is my second month since I started the course. I'll be getting into Advanced JavaScript concepts pretty soon. 😃 My only suggestion for those who are starting to get into programming with ZTM is to be resourceful and apply everything you learned. I'm also not opposed to watching RUclips tutorials ONLY if you're struggling to understand a specific concept and need more clarification from a another programmer on RUclips. Once you 100% understand what you need to do, continue to finish through ZTM.
thank you so much for your video. you're helping me to structure the 6 months when it comes to becoming a web developer in 6 months, as well as guiding me that what content that I should fill in during the 6 months. A well thoughtful and helpful video!
i started learning html and css ... i have no any background in it all i want is to learn learn learn and this this make me realize that i dont need to rush things all i need is to be patient and keep learning everyday step by step .. thank you sir Chris Sean i am from phillipines and i hope you upload more video`s it keeps me motivated to continue learning and become a developer.
What's up Chris my name is Kamron it's nice to meet you I want a job to become a Web Developer how do I get started I have a Disability & with Autism I need to start somewhere from scratch I'm Unemployed at the moment can you help me out so I can get started thanks.
someone loffered me a job in webdev but I don't have much experience, lowkey thinking of doing a course like this and learning as I go but idk if that would be messed up lol
may i know . how to memorize all the info you learn through out your journey . and sometimes some concepts require your to learn another concepts in order to understand the main idea. so you will face a lot of complications . how do you stay memorizing the concepts and sub sub sub concepts
Very inspiring. I am 53 years old and was feeling nervous as heck for when i start this bootcamp course I signed up for next month. I am coming from a completely different profession. I am a fashion designer and have always had an interest with web development. The way you described yourself 9:36 is what i was feeling really nervous about i have the same issue when learning something new. So thank you Chris.
Glad i found your channel. Ive been into this dilemma of changing a career from IT support to a general virtual assistant and now i’ve been trying to figure out a high valuable skill that will benefit me and my family in the long run. Thanks for sharing!
Month #1: HTML & CSS
Month #2-3: JAVASCRIPT
Month #4-5: REACT JS

Don’t waste ur time.
As a JavaScript developer, I think it's refreshing to a realistic take on this topic.
You can definitely learn HTML and CSS in 6 months.
But, if you have no prior experience programming, you will have a really hard time learning JavaScript well in that time. For that, you are more realistically looking at a 12-month timescale, perhaps more to learn React.
But it is really amazing that you can start an entry-level job in this high-paying field in such a short amount of time!
That's why I love teaching it :)
"I am posting here as a covert advertisement, hoping people will come to my channel through this comment."

Please go ahead if you haven't when it comes to programing and coding etc. I'm in the same boat as you, but being a family disappointed "kid".. currently living off fiverr with my art and other stuff like photography.. so you are doing better than me since you are a truck driver.. and going for a change that will transform your life.. not many people can do this sort of thing, least comp.. least prove yourself on this one thing and you will make it. ❤
@@gemg5871 Thank you !! I really appreciate it. Still going on and learning new things everyday. You’ll get there too. I definitely know what it’s like to be the black sheep of the family . The disappointment. But when all is said and done and you prove to yourself that you’re not. That’s all that matters! We carry the ones who believe in us and leave behind the ones that don’t. Stay strong and thank you so much for the kind words!
Starting today I’ll come back to this comment when I’m a front end developer.
Wsupp man where did ur level reach in 9 month
THANK YOU for finally mentioning leetcode style questions. I feel like all I ever hear youtubers talk about is learn html, css, and js but unfortunately that is not enough to land a job in the real world.
👍🏼
HTML css js is enough to land a job.
DSA isn't required to land a FE job

Front end development
Chris, I hope you can provide some insight for a struggling self-taught developer. For the last two years, I've been growing my skills as an indie game dev, but breaking into the games industry is a steep curve, and I've yet to be able to support myself. My language of choice has been C# and although I'm far from a master, after 2 years of barely missing any days of development, I'm quite proficient in object oriented programming.
So, now that you have a little back story, I hope you'll answer a few of my questions.
1. How difficult would it be to quickly transition to web development?
2. Should I even try to switch gears, or should I just keep pressing with game development? I'll never put down game development, even if I were to get a job as a web developer it would still be a side hobby, but I need to pay the bills and I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck.
Again, any sort of insight is appreciated. I know time is valuable, so I may not get a response. Best wishes to you.
Any job in the entertainment industry, wether that’s acting, writing stories, game developing, dancing, directing, drawing, is really just a shot in the dark. Income is definitely not consistent which can cause a lot of anxiety, a lot of competition, it’s just really really hard. That’s why if your gonna do entertainment, do it as a side gig but definitely not your main career. And slowly build up your game dev job without putting so much pressure on your self because it’s only just a side job. Right now though, I would say put 100% into web dev or software development. An excellent combo is learning JavaScript and C#, and learn both frameworks React and .Net. Companies will definitely hire you for that. Of course HTML and CSS is a great add on. When you learn the skills, and finally get your career making decent money, THEEEEEEN start working on game dev as a side gig. Like I said you don’t have to worry about the money it generates because it’s only a side gig.
@@mariomeza3514 I actually hadn't thought of only learning JavaScript with React to get me started, but you bring up a valid point. My HTML and CSS skills don't have to be the strongest if the rest of what I bring to the table is solid. Thanks!
Ulfric: the fact that you know C# might help a little, but learning web development is an entirely separate effort. That said, if you're at least familiar with Visual Studio and .NET, that would make it MUCH easier to jump into ASP.NET/Blazor/etc development. That is to say, Microsoft has very compelling web technologies. On a related note, Typescript has quite a few similarities to C#. So that would help further.
However, you would still have a huge learning curve ahead of you.
Game development is also some that I want to pursue, however I was more interested in indie game dev and I knew making a living off that would either not happen or take a long time. So I decided to focus on web dev first in order to get a career in that and then do indie game dev on the side.
To give my thoughts on your questions:
1. It shouldn't be too difficult seeing as you already have quite a bit of experience. But it is worth noting that JS is quite different from object oriented languages like C# or Java. So it might take a while to get used to it. But knowing C# provides an advantage since it is used widely in the back end. There are a few separate fields within Web Dev: front end, back end, full stack, etc. So you could focus mostly on back end and learn JS and a front end framework at a basic level if you wanted.
2. I would advise to switch gears and get a steady income in a field more reliable than game dev. The skills you gain at a non-game-dev related job will still carry over massively both in the planning, creation, and shipping of a product. If you finish your work early you could also just use the extra time to study game dev.
@@UnGerardo I've considered back end as well, because I am really interested in the "under the hood" components, as well as database development. I've definitely come to realize the benefits of having a standard industry job, but I guess I asked the question because I wasn't sure how well my experience would serve me.
Great video Thanks alot
Also, how is Zero to Mastery different from tutorials, roadmaps, or freecodecamp, or coursera? I am debating on if I should sign up on ZTM.
I'm about to start learning. I'm a truck driver and are going to change careers. Thank you for all the info
I'm taking the meta front-end development course and it has a similar structure to this, I'm currently learning advanced HTML&CSS since I know the fundamentals already and next is going to be React and then Advanced React, just finishes learning how Git/GitHub works and how to do pull/push. It's been a journey so far hopefully by the summer I'll be applying for places once my projects are done :)
I made it to the end! Thank you for posting this ✌️😊
I'm really fond of computers and had a little 3 sessions perhaps of weekly programming lessons about TurboC and DBase, that was 1995-ish. Now I wanna learn all this, for my self-fullfillment and to earn as well. I'm broke and baby #2 is on the way, I'm underpaid on my dayjob, bills are building up, I literary have ni capacity to do it financially. If someone here can help me to get into that tutorials, I will surely pay you when I get there, when I'll be a developer. My family and I will forever be in debt with you, whoever good soul you are. God bless us.
thank you so much for your guidelines.
dint have any idea where i'd start from, now i know. Lets go💪
Awesome, all the best for your journey! 😉
How to become a web developer in 6 months?
3 Don'ts: Don't sleep. Don't eat. Don't poop. Only do web development all the time. X)
#3 is my mantra, this made me learn 10+hrs per day
So is a degree even worth going for?? I’d rather do this cause it’s much cheaper 😂
imo it's not worth it ... 😉
Very useful mate. Thanks for the resources
Im interested and im starting things now.. million thanks chris
All the best for your journey! 😉
Love your content
i made it to the end ! thank you for sharing this.
Wow, this was so informative. Your videos make me excited to take this journey.
Yay made it to the end, thanks for the video👍, currently learnt html css javascript and how to use node jas and express about to enter react, this video has giving me motivation to increase my consistency
You always come across so genuine and passionate about helping folks out. I really appreciate you throwing the ladder down and helping people try to get access to something so valuable. Do you still do meet ups to help guide and mentor people?
Also definitely watched the whole video, wouldn’t mind if they were hours long tbh!😅
Great info as always bro. Wife and I are getting ready to start learning together and these are some bomb resources to get us started. Appreciated.
Now thats relationship goals!
I’m literally rooting for you two! ✊
Thanks for this drop! 💪🏾
I really want to learn web development but I think Im to old to learn it.
I don't think so - go for it! 😉
Thanks you nailed it when u said consistency and discipline wins ...
fresh video fresh news
Please answer it. If I put 1.5 hrs watching vids + reading and another 1.5 hrs on practice can I complete them down in 6month.
Probably yes, but it also heavily depends on your learning pace ... 😉
@@lukas.webdev thank you luke❤️. I got admitted to a bootcamp which will help me to focus.😇
2024 is up coming so try changing title and thumbnails to 2024 might get more views.
New Subscriber here. I’m turning 37 next month and I’m interested in getting in tech. Thank you for your videos!
I really don’t know anything about being a true web developer, but I really want skills that I don’t require my physical labor to make money. If you what you say is true. I should know way more 6 months from now since I really do have the time to do so. So lets see where this takes me. Thanks so much Chris for giving this information.
super helpful video. i just signed up to ZTM
All the best! 😉
N**ga I made it Chris! ;)
Today I began my journey in learning code to become a developer because of you and a few other bright mind informative developers here on YT (though your impact I've felt the most). I'm typing this to hold myself accountable and to one day hopefully return with good news in the next year. Regardless of my outcome, massive bless up to you and thank you for dedicating your time, energy and resources to put us on game! Best of luck to all the aspiring devs and those that just got their foot in the door. Let's keep fighting the good fight!
Awesome, all the best for your journey! 😉
Lol my bootcamp blasted HTML CSS in 1 week haha and Javascript algorithms by 2nd week and libraries and frameworks the 3rd week and 4th week APIs and keys.... we still have 12 weeks left
Brb in 6 months
update? 😉
Fantastic video! It provides a solid plan and great tips for along the way!
Thanks for the video! Is the React section in the complete web developer course not good enough info to learn react? Obviously a whole course on the subject would be more in depth but I’m just curious.
The people who paid for this information: 👁️👄👁️
I made it to the end and in six months, I'll be commenting on my first job
update? 😉
Can anyone kindly give me constructive criticism? I don't enjoy seeing web pages , But I Imagine building android application and it gets me excited. Now... Most youtube content says, start with html, css and java script before jumping to mobile programming app... how to have the mindset or end in mind to start something to have foundation and continue working on the end goal. Thank you in advance.... im lost btw...
Chris speaks straight facts.
Dude I swear you comment in every single video 😂. Thanks for the love bro!
Hi, really enjoy the videos and advice. I was wondering what kind of pc/laptop would be recommended to start off. I currently have a 10+ yr old MacBook for reference.
I made it to the end. Great video Chris. What do you think of frontendmentor
How about a feedback on your code?
Let’s say you are doing projects, you need some feedback on your code like where to improve or change something (even if it’s working), etc.
Where do you get this feedback? Some websites or forums made for that specific purpose?
The answer is no, no way can you be more than an intern at 6 months. 👎👎 spreading lies out here
I made it to the end.
I'm so glad to have come across this video, I just found out that I did not pass the veterinary entrance exam and I don't really know what go do with my life, I always found this world very intriguing but I was always scared and since I also am a slow learner I was kinda prolonging this cuz I didn't feel like I would be able to achieve anything but I gotta say that this video really helped me!!
I’m excited to start this new journey! I will make sure to come back after 6 month to a year to keep you updated. Thank you so much!
All the best for your journey! 😉
@@lukas.webdev Thank you! So far so good, I'm already 37% through with the Complete Web Development course from ZTM. Didn't want to be your average "Oh, thanks for the inspiration. Gonna take your advice and start becoming a full-stack developer" then proceed not to do it. I'm hoping to get through as the course is getting tougher since I'm now learning about DOM manipulation which to me is HARD to understand. However, it's still the beginning and this is my second month since I started the course. I'll be getting into Advanced JavaScript concepts pretty soon. 😃
My only suggestion for those who are starting to get into programming with ZTM is to be resourceful and apply everything you learned. I'm also not opposed to watching RUclips tutorials ONLY if you're struggling to understand a specific concept and need more clarification from a another programmer on RUclips. Once you 100% understand what you need to do, continue to finish through ZTM.
Subscribed just because this was easily the most informative video and laid out so methodically. Thank you!
Please is this full stack or just front-end cause i can't see php,sql etc
Front end still works
@@RealChrisSean so i can study the course to be a front-end developer rite?
thank you so much for your video. you're helping me to structure the 6 months when it comes to becoming a web developer in 6 months, as well as guiding me that what content that I should fill in during the 6 months. A well thoughtful and helpful video!
i started learning html and css ... i have no any background in it all i want is to learn learn learn and this this make me realize that i dont need to rush things all i need is to be patient and keep learning everyday step by step .. thank you sir Chris Sean i am from phillipines and i hope you upload more video`s it keeps me motivated to continue learning and become a developer.
Bro what is your age
@@iamsaurabhmaurya 25 im too old sorry . didnt have any chance to study on college 8 years ago

i did made it till end and this was really informative video, Thank you!
Hi
What are considered as projects? How to size them as small or large. Now really stuck of thinking what to do.
may i know . how to memorize all the info you learn through out your journey . and sometimes some concepts require your to learn another concepts in order to understand the main idea. so you will face a lot of complications . how do you stay memorizing the concepts and sub sub sub concepts
Very inspiring. I am 53 years old and was feeling nervous as heck for when i start this bootcamp course I signed up for next month. I am coming from a completely different profession. I am a fashion designer and have always had an interest with web development. The way you described yourself 9:36 is what i was feeling really nervous about i have the same issue when learning something new. So thank you Chris.
Glad i found your channel. Ive been into this dilemma of changing a career from IT support to a general virtual assistant and now i’ve been trying to figure out a high valuable skill that will benefit me and my family in the long run. Thanks for sharing!
