it’s a question of consistency & effort. If you put work into it, you can become web developer.

Day 20–60: Learn the Basics of JavaScript

JavaScript powers the web.

Thanks to its popularity, there are a lot of places to learn JavaScript. If you’re just starting out, I’d recommend starting out with the FreeCodeCamp JavaScript curriculum.

It’s free, effective.

Days 61–91: 30 Day Vanilla JS Coding Challenge

“Javascript30” is for beginner to intermediate developers who want to become comfortable with both JavaScript fundamentals and working in the DOM without a library.

Remember 👉 We learn by building apps.

The course is free & fun.

Days 92–130: Learn any one of these (React, Angular, Vue)

I know It’s hard to decide which framework to go for as there are just too many options.

My advice would be to research your location to see which frameworks are most popular and stick to that.

Days 131-170: Learn Node, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL

Now that you’ve learned how frontend development works, let’s add some backend knowledge to your inventory.

In modern days, a backend is an Application Programming Interface (API) that interacts with the frontend.

Here’s a bigger picture of how all the technologies are connected.

You’re not expected to know all of it, but it helps to be familiar with the bigger picture & understanding where you fit in.

n/w graph displays this which tech is most highly correlated with each other.

Days 171–180: Learn Git

Learn how to use Git to host your projects on Github Pages. it costs you nothing.

Github pages are free, the only downside is you can only host client-side code.

Most teams use Git to share code. Knowing Git makes you more employable.

Day 181: Start Applying for Web Development Jobs

You made it to the finish line.

Your actual journey starts now. It's a life long commitment towards more & more learning & building stuff.

Starting out is never easy and giving up seems like the easy way out.

Never give up!
