The most important things you can do if you didn't come out with a top notch gpa and a computer science degree? Have a git full of projects and deploy site after site.

Good thread. I'm a junior web developer myself with about 2 years of experience with php, js, html and css.. I've also played with other languages like java and c++..

I just bought a ton of courses on graphical design, typography, etc. off of udemy due to that $10 sale. It's easy to get into the zone where you only want to work on one side of the stack, but if you really want to be marketable, I think you should have skills on both the front-end and the server-side. It's hard for someone, especially if they aren't a programmer themselves, to appreciate what you've created if your sites look like atrocious. One that seems to be a solid course on udemy is here:
Graphic Design Hero: Apply Graphic Design in Projects

Searching for courses on typography is very helpful as well. The coupon to get your discount is 'warmup10'. I think the last day for the sale is tomorrow.

Also, don't sleep on that Bootstrap when it comes to web development. Responsive content is easier to create. Bootstrap · The world's most popular mobile-first and responsive front-end framework.

Yeah bootstrap is a lifesaver. Working in plain css is a pain. There really needs to be modular css, which is supposedly coming when web components are put into browsers.

I've not finished school yet. I built my experience with internships. .

What's considered a entry level job and what skills to know? HTNL, Javascript and css?

This keeps my interest more than networking does for some reason.

 

[Scott Larock]

do you guy build websites? I don't want to do that but I want to do something like website maintenance.

Days like today I really love Visual Studio immediate window. Editing data without having to re-compile. Ahhh.
