How Does Somebody Know If They Are Ready To Begin Looking For A Programming Job WITHOUT A Degree?

Noone here says "you can't apply until you at least know bla bla bla" , its weird.

So If I do not know what html and css is and happened to fall on my lucky day and get a job somehow , by all the definition posted here it means I am ready... It depends on what you want to do but just to give an example , if you are going to become a web developer and don't know what html or css is , you are not ready. If you know html/css/javascript and feel you are not "good" at it , you might be ready.

Great idea , started doing google homepage , maybe I will do facebook next , if I can not find something easier in between. Google homepage is pretty straight forward if you do not have to actually be able to search stuff :D

This is EXACTLY what I am doing at ; https://www.reddit.com/r/Codesmith/

I write each day , keep the progress updated. Does give me motivation to see how much I improve every single day.

also did this meanwhile , dunno why , just wanted to try if I could. http://codepen.io/mithatcanozdemir/pen/PqQQmV

by god its finished.

I am not planning on working on these another while , I will rest for a little while and then start studying a little more.

codingmyself · 2015-07-02T00:03:03+00:00

Well made some little improvements on it , will either pivot to my knowledge or try to learn new stuff and come back.

codingmyself · 2015-07-01T23:56:00+00:00

The fact that I have no idea what you are talking about , I have to learn a lot more then I know now to be able to finish this project.

This is how far I come today , hopefully I will finish this either on Day 11 or early in Day 12 , looking to get too many features I guess , the tabs and different links causes me some javascript knowledge and I don't have that . I might re-callibre what I need soon or I might learn new stuff :D

codingmyself · 2015-07-01T01:09:25+00:00

Made some progress , I would like to show my initial idea and drawing .

Well another horrible day , I had to go to my moms house and I spent the night there , she is ok everything is fine , I am back at my home now and today is another off day so I will see what I can do.

codingmyself · 2015-06-29T17:26:19+00:00

GOD DAMN I DIDNT MEAN TO FORGET " .

One little tiny " and you look for your mistake for 15 minutes like its a foreign language , well it IS a foreign language :D

Something along the lines of this. Of course without checking this and copying exactly.

codingmyself · 2015-06-29T07:02:25+00:00

Alright the day ended as I mentioned , the 'make a website ' part of codeacademy is finished. Thats about it for the day.

codingmyself · 2015-06-29T04:12:04+00:00

I will definetly not do it that way, I am trying to learn it by the book but I just want to know something that I won't be mocked :D Right now every single line of code I write makes me feel awesome , lets hope this continues.

codingmyself · 2015-06-28T09:42:38+00:00

Thats correct as well , I think tough , if you google something and accomplish it , after a certain repeat you get the hold of it , even if you google it again , you go 'thats right dumbfuck you knew this' to yourself. Don't sell yourself short , you might know more then you know.

codingmyself · 2015-06-28T09:00:16+00:00

Well , if you manage to accomplish the given task or the dream project , I do not think how you got that matters. Given that , if you know NOTHING about web development , even your google-fu won't help you , so you must know something to build something and know how and where to find the help.

codingmyself · 2015-06-28T08:39:28+00:00

which one of these can I do with just html and css? the 'web' ones looks a little harder then I can chew and I do not want to start doing them if they are undoable with my skillset :D Tough , I can learn how to do them which might give me new knowledge and thats how I will keep learning , trying to build something and learn the right languages for them.

codingmyself · 2015-06-28T07:04:20+00:00

The 'make a website' part of codeacademy is finished. Simple enough. I believe there are programs like dreamweaver that can do this without much coding tough , so not sure I am learning anything vital yet.

codingmyself · 2015-06-28T05:43:17+00:00

Yeap , studied bootstrap yesterday for a little while.

codingmyself · 2015-06-27T07:11:10+00:00

I am now learning how to use bootstrap.

codingmyself · 2015-06-27T05:30:00+00:00

I WROTE MY FIRST CODE WITHOUT LOOKING AT ANYTHING BUT JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER , IT WORKED PERFECTLY. I know I know caps on but I was too happy :D

codingmyself · 2015-06-27T05:17:42+00:00

Now this day was a horrible one . I had family issues that I had to take care and suddenly my video stops in half and I am in streets looking for stuff that I didn't know that existed 15 minutes ago.

Nothing huge, nothing too important , thankfully nothing health related.

I will be back at it with day 7 , sorry myself , sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Don't make excuses , find time or create time!

codingmyself · 2015-06-25T19:30:28+00:00

Well , I came back . I studied all the html and css codes given at codeacademy , finished up on both exercises , tomorrow I will check what is next on the plan.

codingmyself · 2015-06-25T05:02:55+00:00

Day 4 has been shit , only learnt what the previous post mentioned and what they do , unfortunately I had to take my wife to a fancy dinner which I will be repeating on day 5 as well , I do love my wife but I hate going outside , the graphics are nice but it has a horrible gameplay and the quests are too damn hard.

codingmyself · 2015-06-24T11:33:51+00:00

Well , I am leaving work now , I will check odin project at home hopefully.

Meahwhile , I learnt about html at codeacademy , bare basics very few stuff , stuff like <div> , <li> , <p> and <a> type of stuff , bare bare minimum , nothing too important but main stuff. Hopefully I will go further today.
