Challenges Facing New Web Developers

As a newbie web developer, I have faced numerous challenges in my journey of learning web development. Web development is a skill that is not common; hence it requires consistent effort and pragmatism.

From my experience, I have noted some recurring problems and challenges.

  1. Lack of Universal Topics

There are so many schools of thought on what is the best approach to learning web development. In addition, there are many upcoming and emerging Technologies that add more confusion to a newbie period for rentals. There are many frameworks such as good boo and react just name of you.

  1. Lack of Mentors

Due to the nature of web development, most developers work as employees, contractors freelancers. As a result, the experience or seen developers cannot help or guide newbies during their early times of learning. Moreover, the disconnect between the expert developer and a newbie is excabated by inefficient communication.

  1. Distractions

The internet is offering a whole universe of entertainment education and some other material between the two. Thus it is very tempting for a newbie to look for entertainment at the expense of education. For example, it is easy to serve or scroll the Facebook feeds instead of practicing coding while online.

  1. Coast of Learning

Here we are talking about cost in terms of time and money. Learning web development requires a lot of time and some money. For example, for a newbie to master any language necessary for web development, they must spend considerable time studying the material and practicing. On the other hand, getting relevant material from the internet will require some investment in money.

Conclusion

As a newbie, it is essential to note that these challenges are valid depending on your location, age, ambition, and, most importantly, drive. As you have seen, most of these challenges can be overcome as it is the responsibility of a newbie to understand that mastering web development is not a walk in the park.
