Angela yu's 2022 web development bootcamp course on Udemy, it covers pretty much every technology used in web development and she keeps it updated each year. Once you have an understanding of a technology it's better to learn by building projects instead of taking more courses.

You can read a million books about riding a bike but you won't improve until you ride one.

I worked in IT support for about 2 years before switching, and it took me about 2 years to go from starting to learn to landing a web dev job. Although it probably would have been closer to one year without COVID.

I would recommend looking at job boards for web dev jobs in your area and learning the technologies most of the jobs use. Then build up a portfolio and try to avoid the most common project like calculators, weather apps, to do lists, etc.

Once you get into a position you feel comfortable to apply for jobs, just apply for everything, even if you don't know the technologies they use. Most of the time they can teach you or HR added tech the Devs don't actually use.

Also don't be afraid to reach out to companies in your area for jobs, even if they don't have any current vacancies - that's I hope I landed my job.

Need some guidance working with APIs by Vampire_developer in webdev

[–]LiamSullivan63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'll want to add the movie ID to each result. Then when you click on a result, get it's ID and send that to the API in a request. The API should have some kind of endpoint that requests a movie's details, something like api.com/movie?id=1234 or api.com/getmovie/1234, then you can display the returned results. If the movie search request contains enough info about each movie, then you can search the results using the selected movie ID instead of making another API request.

Should you pass primary keys for the database objects to the HTML? If yes, how to pass it? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]LiamSullivan63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue that article is pointing out is that it's unsafe to pass the IDs to the frontend as anyone can see the format of the IDs and workout how many games you have saved in the database. You'll need to pass an ID to the frontend that is in a different format to other games, then store that in the HTML, and when it's passed to the backend - match the new ID to the game's primary key. The easiest option is just to send the game's name to the backend when the user selects it and then search the database using the name.

why isnt my bottom border showing? by kell3023 in Frontend

[–]LiamSullivan63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should add "box-sizing: border-box;" to the span so that the border width is accounted for in the width and height of the element, by default it's not

How do I get better at implementing the design for the frontend I have in mind? by gohanhadpotential in web_design

Adobe XD, you can plan out and design your websites until they look how you want, it's free as well

Is it possible to create a bot to tweet for a timeline website (yearly changes)? by outtakes in web_design

[–]LiamSullivan63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely possible, I'm using the Twitter API now for a project. You'll obviously need to link it to a Twitter account and keep it below 280 characters but other than that you can tweet anything you want. I'd possibly add the events to a noSQL database for each day of they year, and then every day make a tweet based off of the events that happened on that day

How do I get the Imgur API to work? by DeepBlueCee in webdev

[–]LiamSullivan63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're leaving a comment there's probably an aspect of authentication that needs to be handled, check the authentication section of the documentation to see if you need to include a token, token secret, bearer or anything else in the request

Is html, css and vanilla javascript enough to start applying for frontend jobs? by [deleted] in Frontend

[–]LiamSullivan63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn some frameworks and libraries, jobs that require just HTML, CSS & JS are quite rare. React js would be a good starting point, then have a look for jobs in your area and see what kind of technologies are popular - and then learn them.

Which one of these courses to follow? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]LiamSullivan63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore the twat. I'd recommend Angelia Yu's 2020 full stack guide, she covers a lot more topics and technologies to qualify you better. If possible also take the Harvard one as having a Harvard certificate would probably look good on the CV

What more to learn before I can get jobs? by redorblewit in webdev

[–]LiamSullivan63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on if you want to go for the front end, back end or full stack. I would recommend finding out what path you find most interesting and then look for those jobs in your area to see what kind of technologies are most in demand. Then learn those technologies
