What Happens Next
With 2025 on the move, my plans for breaking into the Front-End side of web development will be facing challenges new and old. I’ll have a few languages to learn and a few more to deepen my understanding of. There will also be a few more technologies outside of languages that I’ll be adding to my arsenal. And above all, I’ll be deepening my knowledge of the industry as a whole.
Languages New and Old
In terms of new languages, I will be putting PHP on my shelf of skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React. On the side of older languages, I’ll be using JavaScript to improve my array-sorting skills,as well as my understanding of time complexity. I’ll also be brushing up on my React skills and creating new projects to test how far I’ve come with the language. Finally, with HTML being upgraded with new tags this year, I’ll be having my hands full getting those down along with everything else.
Beyond Languages
Most of the non-language technologies I'll be putting under my belt will be command-based, since I haven’t had a chance to grasp them in the past. For my first new technology to add, I’ll be putting work into learning GitBash commands. I’ll also be looking into NodeJS down the line to speed projects along. Learning Node will be particularly helpful since it will deepen my understanding of React projects and allow me to work with various packages that I’ve been neglecting.
The Better the Dev, the Better the Chance
Most importantly, this will be the year where I attempt to expand my knowledge of Web Development as an industry as opposed to just a practice. I’ll be bringing attention to myself and my career through not only my projects but community challenges such as this. I’ll also regularly look into news surrounding the job market for new and promising technologies to master. Above all, I’m hoping to make this year one where I can move closer to getting my career and keep up my growth as a web dev.
