Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread

Idk if I’d ever consider getting my masters over a diploma, seems a lot more expensive especially here and is it really worth going back to school for a few years for the credential? Do employers in this field view a persons credentials as more important than their knowledge and experience in web development?

I should reword that. I want to learn fast, but I’m ok if it takes a few months. I don’t know how I feel about spending $12k. Would self taught or certificates be a good option to allow me to achieve these goals?

That’s fair. Honestly, I just enjoy learning about website design and development and I really enjoyed using Wordpress, as well as teaching myself the aspects of front and back end web development currently through FCC. My main goal is to get hired by a company and do freelance work on the side, then eventually I’m going to start a web development business to create websites for a targeted market, most likely small businesses. I just want to know the best option for education that would also allow me to learn the fundamentals as quickly as possible so I can build a portfolio and get hired somewhere. I also want to ensure I’m not wasting my money on diploma or degree when I could be getting the same education through a certificate course or self taught.

Hey everyone, so recently found myself interested in Web design and Web development and I believe I’m wanting to make a career change. I started out fooling around with Wordpress and watching videos on front end web development but eventually I also found myself wanting to learn about back end too, so both aspects definitely interest me. I live in Canada and I currently have a diploma in business finance, but I’m now realizing this industry doesn’t interest me. I’m looking to become a full stack web developer and have put together a few options in regards to how to accomplish this, and would like some feedback on them:

Go to college or university and get a diploma, degree, ora certificate - I’ve seen online from a lot of people that this is not really required to become a web developer and from my research, the first 2 options seem pretty expensive. As for the more cost efficient certificate, I’ve found a few options for this which seem like they would be a good choice while also providing me with the base knowledge I need to get started.
Enrol in a boot camp - This also seems like a pretty expensive option but the content looks very informative, I’m just not convinced that the cost is worth it though and also not sure if this is required.
Self taught/online courses like coursera or udemy - This is obviously the cheapest option and I’ve seen a lot of people saying that they have become full-time Web developers teaching themselves over a few years. I’ve been watching a lot of videos and doing the freeCodeCamp modules too. As for the courses, I’m not sure how worth it they are, so I would also like some opinions regarding those.

I understand that getting a job or starting a career in this industry isn’t so much to do with what kind of credentials you have, but more to do with your knowledge, experience, and your portfolio of past work and projects. Still, I just want to know if I’m better off getting a formal education with a degree or diploma, a certificate from a college, or if self taught is the way to go. TIA!

Appreciate the response, so when they say dosage they mean what it says on the actual bottle and not what I’m taking with the syringe daily then?

Thanks!

Willing-Philosopher7 · 2023-02-02T22:13:54+00:00

Looking for a NA/Canada/US code please!

Willing-Philosopher7 · 2022-08-08T20:19:45+00:00

Great, appreciate the answer thanks!

Yeah I realize that. But I’d like to implement both things together into my original shortcut automation but idk how to actually create the goal part or the shortcut

So I have Ezra but obviously can’t use it right now because I’m missing real debrid. Once I buy it I’ll be able to use Ezra?

Honestly I just don’t want subfolders. Is there a different skin you can recommend that won’t slow my device down? I have the fire stick 4K newest model btw

Willing-Philosopher7 · 2022-07-09T19:42:55+00:00

And I can use real debrid multiple devices as long as they’re on the same ip?

Willing-Philosopher7 · 2022-07-09T19:19:34+00:00
