good article, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything but 6 months is unrealistic for backend development especially for a beginner that has never touched code. If you have previous experience and you know the fundamentals of programming etc. 6 months would be a realistic goal. It's coming up to a year now for me and i have done so much i have background in frontend, backend. I have made dozens of API's. I've made my own website agency where i sell templates and offer full design and development services i have integrated PayPal and AWS in my website and it was made with react, MongoDB, Nodejs, Express. my point is all I've had is interviews but not got the job and I've got a year experience and i done all that off my own back and not copying from Youtube and so on pure research and hard grafting and its been mental torture lol. now i currently doing a computer science degree hoping it would give me more of a chance to get my dream job. Also sorry about the rant HAHA

Its certainly true that becoming a backend developer in 6 months is hard for beginners who never touched code. But everything is possible under hard work and consistency. if they're dedicated and commit 2-4 hours every single day learning to code, its become easy. nothing comes easy first. finally, getting a job is highly dependent on your interview preparations and communication skills I believe. There are lots of programmer out there who had outstanding skillsets but not good at communication, thus didn't land a job... yet.
If you said becoming a frontend developer in 6 months that is possible for like you said hard work and consistency and dedicated to commit up to 2-4 hours every single day learning to code, Cause they could learn html CSS and fundamental's of JavaScript under 6 months like i did and i never touched code in my life until last year took me month to learn html and about month and half with CSS cause i didn't understand the positioning and layout. and JavaScript took me abit longer due to for loops and i didn't understand that you literally have to be so specific with every line of code else it will just throw an error lol. I strongly disagree with backend developer in 6 months but that's my opinion other than that i enjoyed reading your article anyway.

Yes I have really struggled to learn anything from following through examples about API restAPI sql etc yet have plodded along fairly well with front end stuff. I really need backend knowhow however or will build clunky things that need hosting I cannot be sure is the correct host. This is now happening as I introduce js into my work but find it slows the css and html down. Many many months of practice and interest and passion and skills already are mine.
If your struggling backend development let me know and i will try to assist you in anyway. if you want me to make a tutorial on how to do something i will make one on here for you to get you up and running and il explain and annotate the code so it's easier to understand for you're future backend projects.

It depends on the individual's learning phase or how much effort they put in, I believe. Anyway thank you so much for sharing your own experience.
