One of the most annoying ones is that web development is easy and that everyone can create a website. Of course, maybe my grandpa can create a website but there are a lot of factors that a website requires to be performant and accessible among the other stuff. There are also zillion frameworks and this field is advancing on a week level, and there is always something new to be learned so that you can stay up to date. So you should be prepared to spare some time weekly for learning new stuff. Beside this, for web development, you only need to have a solid knowledge of Javascript and CSS, for now, you don't need to know ten programming languages to start looking for a front-end job.
Another common misconception is that when you finish the website your work is done 🙃If we're talking about production applications this is far from true.
You don't need to be an expert at maths to be a good web developer. That's mandatory for the data science and machine learning but in web development, you'll use your math skills on rare occasions only.
And you don't need to have a CompSci degree to start working as a web dev, this is mandatory for data science and ML (although there are exceptions here too as well). I'm self-taught (and no degree) and I've been working as a frontend dev for almost 3 years now 😎
Mr. Tasevski,
I would love to have a talk with you about how you started with Web Development. I am in college for computer science but I know I can do this on my own. Is there anyway I can come into contact with you?
