You are here, therefore you belong ❤️

I know that a lot of people want or know someone who wants to start learning web development or coding in general. Perhaps you are too afraid to take this bold move, perhaps you think that coding is hard and not sure if you are the right fit. Maybe you are too scared to open the code editor and start coding because you are afraid you may get stuck and lose motivation, or you don’t know where to get started in the vast sea of knowledge. I am here to tell you — You got this! We will get through this together!

In this article, I will dive into the resources, a proposed plan of getting started, and a list of resources to help you learn to become a web developer. This plan is going to be focused on getting you a job, and therefore project-heavy.

Debunking some myths that hold you back

  1. You do not need an expensive laptop or setup.
  2. You do not need to spend tons of money to get started.
  3. You do not have to go to college to become a web developer.
  4. You do not need to be a certain years old to get started.
  5. You do not need to know all the technologies before applying for a job.
