Anyone can become a Web Developer if you put consistent hard work. I would recommend if you are new to coding, explore all coding languages so you will get to know which you are good at.
Use Repl.it, codepen free online code editors to test your codes and there are many free courses, videos available where you can learn basics of coding languages.
If you start to like a specific language, then go for paid Bootcamp, Online courses or Freecodecamp a non-profit which offers free courses.
How to become a self-taught developer?
- Try to spend 1 hour regularly for studying on your own
- Create a study group for motivation
- Set a goal
If you completed the basics, then start doing small projects. You can also start doing Volunteering.
Some of the websites where you can look for Volunteering:
- Taproot Foundation
- Volunteermatch
- Catchafire
- AllForGood
- GirlsWhoCode
- Nubay
- FastForward
- furloghed.life
Volunteering as a developer is a great way to a beginner. Most of the Volunteering works will be developing in WordPress. Even though, you will get to know about websites.
You can also start contributing to opensource projects.
