Greetings Dev Community.
I am currently enrolled in an introductory web development course and would like to further my studies with front end language and skills.
I learn best in classroom environments vs online study, which reflects my choices for current and future learning pursuits.
So far I've learned the following:
- fundamentals of html5
- fundamentals of css + flex-box
I've been exploring learning opportunities to pursue once I complete this introductory course, while I continue practicing my html + css skills
Some ideas I've been looking into are:
Pursue a two week javascript course.
Then
Pursue front end development bootcamp.
OR
Pursue front end development bootcamp in January.
I know many of you either share similar or different journeys on how you've
became developers. I would like to hear your insights on your learning journey. As a beginner to where you are today.
- Did you pursue bootcamp? if so, how did you prepare yourself.
- Did you work on the fundamentals of html+css and javascript before immersing yourself fully into a bootcamp/ developer program.
- Are there certain developer tools you felt were easy to learn yourself?
Thank you,
LJTea

I have never pursued a bootcamp but, I worked on C and C++ language advanced use and now I'm able to create wathever I want from any language because the logic remain the same most of the time. If you know one language, you can use others easily. The only difference is the typography 🤷♂️
I deeply think the best way to learn is only from ourself, maybe you should try to create a simple project first 😉
Follow an online course or bootcamp can be useful to learn the best practice, it's not a bad idea 💡
The online courses I have done so far were about latest frontend frameworks, just to be updated with the best practices (Angular, Vue).
Thank you Steeve.
I definitely agree it becomes easy to pick up similar languages when you really develop one or few 😂
Most of the bootcamps I know emphasize on frameworks like Vue, React... and that's cool! The problem is that, if you learn how a frontend framework without knowing JS in depth, you will be blocked at facing more complicated problems.
Take your time to learn Javascript, there's no rush!
Thank you Elena,
I needed to hear this and I appreciate your insight. I feel JS will be the next step to consider instead of taking a deep dive into bootcamp.
