I dabbled with HTML, CSS, Dreamweaver, and Komodo(sp?) It can be frustrating, but also very fulfilling when you build a site

Certs can :blessed:

Only one cert. A+, I make $14/hour. I'll get a raise in two months, paid vacation up front, unlimited overtime, full health benefits and paid holidays. Off the jump :wow:

Studying for my Network +, then Security +. I plan on doubling my hourly wage by the end of next year.
Damn. What city. I just got my A+ and they offered me 45,000 a year for an entry level position

This is outside of Philly. Are you down south? I hear they pay more down there for entry level. Up here, there aren't a lot of entry level positions at all. Call center jobs are mainly in the city of Philly. Most of them are part time and temp positions.

Don't know if posted yet, but:

developer/programming information and careers thread

I'm learning Haskell right now, around next month I'm going to be implementing some Deep Learning/Machine Learning with it for my app.

I say once you get your feet wet a little and feel the burnout and get discouraged, my advice would be to try and find a language that you love. Don't take that as an excuse to keep jumping around when it gets hard though. At the same time, when you feel burnout, remember that there's no rule that says you have to stick with that language.

Coding with Golang probably saved my life after severe Javascript confusion. No exaggeration. From there I went on to learn ReactJS, which lead me to using ImmutableJS with Redux, then Elixir/Phoenix and eventually to where I am now with Haskell, a language I consider in my stable with Golang and Javascript.

Moral of the story, stick with it and don't give up without at least trying other languages. In fact, what you learn in other languages can translate into insights about topics you were stuck on. But there's a craft to it because you do not want to spread yourself too thin, the goal should be depth.

What kinda deep learning frameworks are available in Haskell?

Haskell is a very high-brow, academic language, I've never seen it used in production or heard it mentioned in any big data stack. Usually the names I hear thrown around are the JVM functional languages like Scala, Clojure or even Python.

Also I'm not sure if I asked but what languages do you use and what do you do generally on a professional basis? Are you a data engineer? Mess with distributed computing, microservices, ML and all that cool stuff?

Hell
its because coding is the most straight forward way to build yourself in a lucrative field

other areas you needa have other things like work experience/degrees/connections etc

but coding, if you learn it, its easy to enter the field and the field is growing rapidly

I got the complete web development course on udemy.

https://www.udemy.com/how-to-become-a-web-developer-from-scratch/learn/v4/overview

But I don't wanna do web development, I'm not the type to build websites and create stuff, I just wanna be told what to do and make 60k or more a year.

What can I order? I wanna do something like website maintenance or something like that, clean up code.
