So I’m sitting here. I’m in Codepen looking at the projects I’ve created so far & patted myself on the back because I know I’ve come this far in just 3 months. I never coded up until this year June. Since then I’ve been dedicating 2 hours a day to coding & I am always learning & applying what I’ve learned & just lots of repetition.
I know HTML & CSS well enough to make a static websites. When it comes to JavaScript I understand the basics and can add some minor functionality to a website. I personally feel like I still have SO MUCH to learn about JS in terms of using what I know & applying it.
I also just started college this fall full time (computer science 1st year) and I am putting in the work to get those A’s & B’s. Some days I give up an hour or two of sleep just to get my 2 hours of coding in as I have noticed that a lot of my time is taken up by college and work. 8 week college courses really pile on the readings and such.
Right now I’m currently focused on learning Bootstrap. I just learned SASS which by the way is AWESOME! Like OMG why did no one tell me about this sooner?!?! I’m also going to make more websites with JS to get more comfortable with the language and using it in browser.
My plan is to continue my daily 2 hour grind until I feel I like I know JS like the back of my hand. but I was wondering then what? Is there something right now that I can start learning while getting better with using JS? I guess my question is. Where do I go from here? What do I learn next?
here in chicago I’m seeing so many job postings for php/wordpress developers lol. should I learn those? Any advice is appreciated thanks!
