I started learning about a couple of years , but until recently I started consistently working on my practical skills. What have I been chasing is software development more specific web development . Even more specific I want to be proficient in front-end development then pursue mastery in back-end development. In my mind this path would be best for me ,because I get to know and understand the front-end aspects to better understand the role of the back-end development. My recent studies have been mostly html and css where I progressing to mastering . Once I have master those to languages then I will get comfortable with Javascript where I can make webpages/websites more interactive. Looking a head that sounds cool but first I need to familize myself with good practices with html and CSS . I have heard that clean descriptive code is almost praised ; so I trying to start good habits by doing this with html and CSS.
Right now I using Khan Acadmey (mostly) and Freecodingcamp to help hone and develop my coding skills.This is not my first time with programming languages I learned python , but didn't really know how to use it outside basic programs (I didn't know about librariess at the time) . I did skip the Game development / simulations unit in KA , while skimming through I knew it wasn't my thing.I did do the html and css units along with the JS animation and intro to SQL , and man the SQL syntax is hard for me and still is frankly (it was only a intro). My plan right now is to finish Making Webpages interactive and understand DOM (I saw this a lot in reddit). Obviously right now I making a webpage right now to help me implement what I have learn , through KA does have challenges right after a walkthroughs which is wonderful for keeping that info in mind.
Html actually was pretty easy to pick up really once you memorize the tags it's creation at your fingertips.Now there are some tags that I saw but didn't really use : article , section , and script . I already know that script is tied with Javascript , so it will mostly come up in my current unit in making webpages interactive. I will say I saw lots of cool webpages using css (seemly withou JS) . What's cool is that you realize things about webpages and how they work . An example of this would be table of contents where it slides to your selected content I thought that was JS wizardly stuff but it's not just use a simple href to a ID.
Now Javascript I'm straight up not that good at. I mean I'm okay but I forget the syntax a lot and have some logical error here and there.I know if I put more time into it will probably get better but there still going to be frustion involved in learning. What I plan on doing with Javascript is get proficient then learns a framework like React or node (node sounds good because it supports Express for back-end). SQL I got a brief introdcution which was cool but it can be tough at times especially on large scale data sets. However, I know I wlll need SQL to get into the back-end. Javascript time will come just not right now I'm working on html and CSS.
For the future I plan on going either the miliary or college (for Computer Science). I will continue my course of KA and the next one which is the same just with JQeury. After that I will start my Javascript joureny on Freecodingcamp where I will learn a Real programming languages. Thinking about I will probably add to this website with learning new things or just make small programs to implement what I have learned.
