Hi,
I am quite new to HTML and CSS. I am halfway complete with the Responsive Web Design projects on FCC and keep learning everyday by myself.
I went to an interview for front end development where the interviewer was criticising everything about me. As I learn by myself, I don’t know any other developers or know people I can talk to about programming stuff. So he started asking if I know about Slack, and I said no (because I don’t know anyone who use it plus I never heard of it before). And he goes on about how unbelievable that I don’t about it. Then he started asking about other front end tools, that’s where he went on his laptop and pulled out a huge list of tools (over 20 maybe) that developers use. Of course, I didn’t know any since I’m new. To me, I thought that was his hiring strategy by bringing up all my faults so I just agreed and took the feedback for future learning, knowing that I won’t get the job. I felt completely useless at that time.
But my question is, how can I go about to know or learn about ALL those tools that front end developers use when I learn by myself?
It feels like I should have been born with the front end bible in my head.
Thanks.
