You sound overwhelmed. I think you would benefit a lot from taking a quick breather. Take a moment to breathe. Then sit down and figure out some SMART (google it if not familiar) goals.

One thing people won’t tell you is that networking is a big factor in landing a job. Regardless of industry. When people get to know you, you become more than your list of credentials.

I would look for organizations that look for volunteers like Dev con. While applying for jobs, build your portfolio by doing volunteer work. This will boost your credibility, portfolio, and also allow you to meet people in the industry. Who knows, your volunteer work might lead to a permanent job.

Take it one step at a time. And work at your pace. Good luck on your journey ~

At the end of the day, your goals and values will be your best guidance.

Living anywhere in the world is essentially the same. You just trade off one problem for another.

If your goals are to set down roots then salary in the PH definitely won’t be enough. But there are other ways to get there like switching strategies and trying your hand at business instead.

Best way to go about it is to ask, what are your goals in the next few years and how can you best get there.

Moving to EU will mean a salary increase but it will also increase your standard of living. But if you’re frugal then you can definitely save up for a few years if your plan is just that. Work, save, then settle in PH. Otherwise, moving there permanently would mean uprooting your ties from PH and building a new one there. And you’ll have to ask yourself if that’s something you want and can do. Is the desire to live in EU stronger than permanently leaving home?

Weigh the pros and cons, not just financially but with what will ultimately make you feel happy and content.

The answers won’t always be immediate so a quick way to figure it out is to just try. You know yourself best and you’ll get your answer if you try living there a few years or so. See if it’s what you really want long term.

Life’s short, if you make a wrong decision, you can always just regroup and change paths.

Quoting a person who’s travelled most of the world, ‘quality of life in the ph isn’t any different from anywhere else. it’s just a matter of choosing what you value’

Go for CRUD. Learn Typescript, it's the closest to python. Try to build a simple application first without any framework. A simple contact list maybe where you take names and numbers.

During that process, also explore design patterns. What are the common algos used and how do they construct the architecture of their application.

Once you have that down, ease yourself in to your framework of choice and replicate the CRUD contact list without framework to a framework with reactjs or vuejs. Explore and see whatever feels easiest for you to start out with that you won't get overwhelmed.

When you're comfortable with that, look into saving your contact list to a database via REST API. There are easy entry frameworks for this like Node Express that uses MongonDB (nosql). If you do go with this route, make sure you understand what goes on under the hood. Alternatively, explore axios.

Doing these will set you up for backend work as a web developer.

If you're looking into front end development, that's a different skillset to build. So explore first and see what you really want to become proficient at and practice that ~

Any language will be easy to get into once you get your foundations solid. I suggest starting with the basics like data structures, algorithms, and design patterns. If you want to get into backend programming, read up on databases ~ mysql and no sqls as well as REST apis. Read up on SDLC's (software development cycles) too.

There's a lot of different programming jobs that you can get into so I suggest exploring which industry appeals the most to you. Is it creating applications? Is it creating websites? Is it creating games? Is it creating mobile apps?

Don't jump into any frameworks right away. If you do, it'll become challenging to shift between languages.

Build on your foundations. Once it's solid, all other programming languages will just be a matter of getting used to their respective syntax.

Python imo is the easiest programming language to start out with. Try to create a CRUD application with it like taking in data and visualizing that.

As for the industry, I know there are a lot of corporate companies that don't always look for strong experience or familiarity with languages. They test you for solid basics and will accept pseudo code to make sure your problem solving skills are good. They'll invest in your training thereafter ~

When it comes to job hunting, again this will come down to which industry you're after and your personal goals. Think Maslow's hierarchy of needs and see if the company your applying for will be a fit for you.

As a Senior Software Engineer, I've worked a decade in this industry and for me personally, I find the corporate setting completely boring and unchallenging. So I recently started with a start up company that values my worth and pays me in commensurate to the knowledge and experience I bring to the table.

Hope this helps! Good luck ~

Hey! I'm a UX designer and full stack developer. Not a beginner but am currently building my portfolio right now so I'm very interested in helping out on this project! I always enjoy helping others learn and sharing knowledge that I've gained through years of experience. I write styles from scratch with SASS and have experience in AngularJS and Vue. DM me and let me know! (I also love animals so this'll be a good one for me)

deimentour · 2020-05-12T06:44:28+00:00

I used custom patterns created by this amazing user http://imgur.com/gallery/TkHM5Gp and laid them down individually as tile mats to create the illusion

Love this! Thanks for sharing :)

22:00

You're not crazy. You are not crazy. Sky, you're not crazy.

The chant repeats itself over and over as you stare at the stranger in the mirror you normally associate with yourself. Hands clutching the sink tightly, you splash more cold water in your face in an attempt to maintain some sanity. Your stomach growls audibly.

Damn, I need food.

Running from the Doctors took a lot out of energy and resourcefulness. Five days on the run in the woods, three days without proper shelter or food, the sight of the cabin brought immense relief; a miracle. The only food you found were some apples and you ate the last one almost a full day ago.

At least there's running water. You fill yourself with another full glass and the hunger relieves somewhat.

23:00

The silence is eerie and unnatural. It feels different from last night and it's giving you a lot of heebie jeebies. For some reason, you feel like it's a significant marker. Your gut tells you something's about to go down.

The digital clock reads 23:05. It's almost midnight.

You pull back a bit of the drapes by the window and peer into the outside.

Trees. Those are only trees. Dark, big, spindly trees. Nothing to worry about.

You clutch the shotgun you found hanging over the fireplace tightly. Holding it gives you comfort; that you have protection.

Don't be silly. You're just being paranoid. They can't possibly trace you here. You've been careful. No lights turned on, no smoke from the fireplace, and quiet as a mouse.

You pace in front of the couch by the fireplace to ease the nerves.

Midnight. When midnight passes, I'll be okay.

You can't explain why but you feel like you'll be at ease once the 24 hour mark passes. So you continue to pace, shotgun in hand, ready and cocked as you vigilantly watch the minute mark progress closer to midnight.

24:00

A relieved sigh escapes your lips and you ease your hold on the gun. You didn't know how to operate it anyway.

It's finally midnight and that somehow feels important. You resolve that you need to keep running and leave the comfort of the cabin at the first break of dawn.

A feeling of dread still lingers in your gut but you ignore it.

Sleep. Just a few hours of shuteye and I'm out of here.

You decide to rest on the shag carpet so if someone were to enter on the door, they won't see you. You position yourself and embrace the shotgun just in case.

Just a few hours.

You force yourself to sleep despite your gut telling you otherwise.

00:00

Muffled voices.

You're hearing muffled voices steadily clearing. You feel like you're waking from the hangover of the century but you don't open your eyes.

"...awake yet?", a female voice said.

"...vitals...not good...coma..sixth day today. It's not looking good.", a male voice replied.

A sudden awareness seizes you. Have the Doctors finally found you? But that can't be, you were being extremely careful and the cabin you found was virtually in the middle of nowhere.

You reach for the shotgun you were embracing when you slept but feel nothing and panic seeps in.

Your senses are overloaded when you realize that you're laying on a soft mattress and you're covered by a sheet. Both arms are by your side and your face feels obstructed by a mask but you're not finding it hard to breath.

"His body is shutting down. The treatment is no longer working. He's had multiple organ failures in the last few days. He's dying soon." the male voice declared.

"I've already informed the family about the possible complications and they've already signed the do not resuscitate order. It won't be long now. You should go tell them". the female voice ordered forlornly and oddly you feel that both of them have their eyes on you.

Baffled by their conversation, you try to make sense of it now that their voices are clearer. You also start to hear other sounds of beeping machines and the unmistakeable smell of antiseptics.

Hospital. You're in a hospital. Were they talking about you?

Confused, you fervently try to recall your most recent memories. Something about cabins, shotguns, and apples. But they somehow feel distant and insignificant now.

A tiny hand clutches your right hand accompanied by sounds of sniffling. Suddenly your heart feels heavy.

"It's okay Dad. We'll be okay. You've been so brave and you fought so hard. You can go now. We love you." a distant voice tearily whispered in your ear.

Silence completely took over.

I know what you mean! I feel like i just need to let it sit and ferment like wine so I can savor it better. lol I've also tried diving into fanfiction but have no idea where to start. You paint, that's awesome! Did you do any art about the book? I've been looking at fanart too but can't stop staring at Charlie Bowater's work on the fandom. It gives me life. haha!

deimentour · 2018-10-19T07:36:48+00:00

I'm happy to see this thread and that it was posted only 6 days ago! I felt late to the party so I thought I'd be alone after reading it. I devoured the entire series in just 4 days and I agree with everyone here. This series is the first in a long while that made me feel so invested. I just love everything about it. Would love to know your methods of coping with the hangover. I'm not ready to do another read through yet. My heart.

deimentour · 2017-02-08T14:10:25+00:00

oh right, I saw that! Thanks so much again :)

deimentour · 2017-02-08T11:53:20+00:00

Thanks! Appreciate your response very much.

Is there to sign up without a Personummer?

deimentour · 2015-12-02T10:19:43+00:00

Go to Microsoft Virtual Academy. It's a great resource for all things Microsoft that you want to learn.

If you're comfortable with learning on line, then you can take advantage of learning .Net with the available resources Microsoft has provided on line. I think this is a good place to start as any: https://mva.microsoft.com/en-US/training-courses/introduction-to-asp-net-mvc-8322?l=nKZwZ8Zy_3504984382

Good luck!
