I’m a graphic and interactive designer with big love to all things beautiful.
I divide my time between product design at Jux.io and DS and Figma workshops for various organizations
Education
B.Dez in 'visual communication' degree from Shenkar High College of Design
Hi everyone, I'm Erez, a product designer who is passionate about creating a design tool that is built entirely on how things are done in code, for real. I know some HTML and CSS, enough to make do, but I'm curious and slightly afraid to start learning some proper Javascript and eventually one of the frameworks like React.
Knowing what you know now - what would be the single best resource to learn it for a person like me, who has never been a developer in other fields?
I bought the CourseCareers (online certification) course for Software Development. I got it on sale for 400 dollars last Black Friday, and it's been worth it. Definitely a mixed bag experience, but overall positive. I needed a little structure to keep going, so they've given me that. It's not perfect tho, I honestly don't know if it's what you need. Here's the link to CC: coursecareers.com/a/653ed4dd
One idea I've had, is that if you scroll through their promotional material, you should find a section where they have basically a Table of Contents, listing every topic the course covers (includes specializations, like Frontend vs backend) if you look through these different lists, you can basically create your own Study Guide, and find free resource, YT videos, etc to learn each topic independently. In some ways this is more difficult than purchasing a course, but in some ways it's probably better. Definitely a cool thought if you want to save the 750 tho.
Maybe you could check out FCC (Free Code Camp [just Google it]). They have great free courses and even free certificates. Their Discord community is also awesome.
