How do you get into coding?

bro if you are absolutely serious about coding, I can put you on the right path to become a jr developer.
everything you need is online, and with a lot of practice and dedication, you will amaze yourself no doubt.

the first two languages that you have to learn are html and css,
html is very easy and you are already familiar with the syntax like the paragraph tag <p></p>, the quote tag <quote></quote> etc,
when you learn that, you move on to css which stands for cascading stylesheet, it basically is the make up that is applied to html to
make all the websites that you see online including the-coli.

once you are VERY comfortable with html and css, then you move to the logic side (JavaScript), its the toughest but the most fun in my
opinion. You don't have to worry about JS until later though, until you have at-least 5-10 basic sites online.

I can recommend you the right course on udemy ($10) that got me started.

The Web Developer Bootcamp - Udemy ($10)

Here's the first course (out of many) that will introduce you to the basics of web development, this course has tons of stuff but make sure to take your time and focus only on HTML and CSS until you have good knowledge of how both languages work and interact. Remember you don't have to memorize any of the syntax, the properties and values, just understand how they work. Even now when I am stuck with CSS and my code is not working, I google to find the answers. So don't sweat it if you get stuck on something and it takes u few days to solve it, it's normal.

This site is also great, probably the most helpful to me: W3Schools Online Web Tutorials

The second phase is learning JavaScript, there are many good sources out there but when that time comes, I will recommend the good ones.

The third phase is learning a framework ( basically a JavaScript library), there are many like React.Js, Angular.Js and many more, they're used to make apps. You just have to learn ONE and become really good at it.

Then it is time to start looking for Jr. Web Dev Jobs (my current status).

The journey is a bit long, but try to spend couple of hours a day either working on your code or watching a youtube tutorial and I guarantee you, this shyt becomes fun.

How much time does it takes to become decent/good at coding?

 

[RadaMillz]

How much time does it takes to become decent/good at coding?

It honestly comes down to how many hours u put in, for example if someone reserves 4 hours a day, 6 days a week just coding and debugging their code, they can build enough skills to get their foot in the door in 6 months. It's all about practice, practice and more practice. Learning HTML and CSS is one thing, but learning what to do with them (layout) is entirely another thing. Theres a lot of frustration, times u just want to quit and say fuk it! So you have to really put everything in it and learn to like what u are doing. I spent 5 hours yesterday just trying to deploy my site, it's all part of the learning process, u just have to be patient.

There's so much false information out there, like those stupid boot camps promising u can become a developer in 13 weeks. That's load of bullshyt and all their after is putting you in debt.

I'm assuming because you're in NYC they pay more beacsue of higher standard of living OR those aren't entry-level A+ jobs.

they asking for 2 year experience, and with the A+ and NET+ i would have at least 1 year experience. No real world experience except for trouble shooting my fams PC. so i need to finesse the interview i am assuming.

what would a typical day as a help desk technician entitle?

Titles very rarely match up with job duties. That said, help desk is usually the guys you call to do basic things like password resets and put in tickets for the more complex issues or issues that can't be resolved remotely.

Go to INDEED or Craigslist and type in help desk support and read the job descriptions. When I worked security for a a corporate facility, the help desk guys would chill in their office until they received a ticket and then they would go to the persons office or cubicle and assist them with whatever issue they had.

I been messing with the html lessons on codecademy. Is that a decent enough lesson for the basics? Also would html be the easiest language to learn? I was starting on python and switched to html for now. They seem rather similar but just different codes.

Yes please and every other IT resources you have.

Check your PMs. That stuff is a bit old but still relevant. THis is just CCNA stuff. You can find other stuff for chep on udemy.

I recommend Redhat if you are looking for a place to start I just never cared much for networking. I just did it because it was part of my job at the time

Thank you! What area of it do you work in?
