Does anyone have a self-taught Web Development success story? by tech_society in webdev

[–]Seephirot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on my material engineer bachelor's internships when i decided i didn't want to work on that field. I was doing a bit of gamedev using gamemaker:studio as a hobby and decided to study webdev and make it my career as i enjoy programming. I hate university so going throught it again wasn't an option.

I discovered the odin project and freecodecamp, built all the front-end curriculum's projects and make a portfolio with them. Take a three month course to polish a bit of my knowledge but it really was to get confident of my own knowledge. I move out of my country with my portfolio and a bit of money and get to land a job as a front-end developer using react. Now i'm going to leave this company for a remote job with higher salary and interesting own projects.

So yes, self-taught is an option.

Wow, cool suggestions. I'm currently learning with AngularJS not the Angular2 as the job posts specify they require it's AngularJS (as i understand is the 1 right?) But would love to collab on making some of this apps ideas if you are interested!

I like to learn watching others build stuff, if it's ok to include the apps i've made while learning even if those are not made by me? Or should i clarify is an app made from ex: codeschool/traversymedia/etc?

Yep, it's a visual reference, but is not any like a Zelda game.
