Thanks for the great tips, Rebecca! I'm 27 and currently unemployed so I decided I wanted to migrate to this crazy world of web development. It's been two weeks since I started my self-taught journey. I live in Brazil and here it's not that common to find boot camps, specially post COVID. I started off knowing absolute zero and now I can build a website with html and css. JavaScript is coming soon, hahaha. You guys just need to have discipline to study everyday, like Rebecca said, and also find ways to keep yourself motivated. Set goals and stuff like that. Challenge yourself. Programming is all about that.

I've currently going the self-taught route due to mainly the money. Plus I work 3rd shift and most boot camps are barely out of my schedule. I love Udemy but it is a lot of knowledge and you kind of lose motivation with doing that non-stop so I would suggest getting your own projects once you reach the basics of the course to work on so you can build your projects as you are going plus it gives you a break!

Howdy, what was the content of your beginner portfolio like that got you hired? And how was that interview process? I saw down below you mentioned something about luck or timing. I'm in a program now where while I've learned a ton, I don't think I'll be hireable just yet. Looking to bump up my projects to increase my chances.

Hi Lauren, I started applying about halfway through (my boot camp was only 4 months tho) or when I had a few projects to put on my resume! I applied during my boot camp for the the job I ended up getting so I always encourage people to do the same because you never know what opportunities are out there that you could be a good fit for!

I would recommend people to start with no code tools such as bubble, Xano, etc. that allow us to visually develop apps. This will allow people to learn programming concepts, designs & much more without the fear of code. From there it will be far easier to transition to code just by coding clones of the no code apps. And instead of stressing out over memorizing all the codes, I think it would be good to understand the concepts & designs while using a code reference for the code & auto code complete tools.

Do you feel there is a disadvantage being self taught vs having completed a boot camp if both individuals know the same information? Or it just comes down to the technical interview?
@hi_rebecca
2 жыл бұрын
I would say no there isn’t a big disadvantage and it just comes down to the interview and how much you know. I feel like a Bootcamp is good for people who need to dive straight in and need that accountability. But you can learn the same info on your own and present the same skills/ projects to get interviews and do well!
