Disclaimer: East-European hustle version (self-directed and free) Not really a bootcamp but a combination of udacity, lynda, online books/tutorials. My Background: tennis coach, basic arithmetic, PC power user. May 2013 - Start learning HTML->CSS->jQuery(Codeacademy+other)->Python(Udacity:Intro to CS+Web Dev)
->Javascript(Eloquent JS)->PHP&MySQL(Lynda) (+countless others in between)
- Went for PHP as I started looking for jobs and there were almost no Python options.
Apr 2014 - First Job - for a friend of mine who has an online tennis shop
- Opencart (mainly front-end templating, some jQuery - mostly plugins usage)
Jul 2014- Second Job - a web shop (10 people) - still have this one but doing totally different stuff
- Wordpress theme customizing (still mostly front-end and jQuery, some php)
Sep 2014 - First 'big' project: 2 person, Codeigniter+Postgres
- Built the whole front-end (learned that css on a big website is hard and you need some architecture)
- Ended up doing some CRUD stuff on the admin side too
May 2015 - d3.js project - a landing page with lots of custom graphs and a custom map
(started the project with 0 knowledge of d3 - finished quite well)
- Interestingly enough I was already 'the javascript' guy at the shop so this was assigned to me
Jul 2015- Tryout with a remote team in my area working for an american startup
- Flask, microservices, aws, data analysis - cool stuff
- they needed me on the back-end - got rejected,
- the lead said I was too inexperienced and that he didn't have time too train me.
Aug 2015- Built a custom Wordpress theme for a website
Sept 2015- Python job - for a US based startup
- a LOT of scripts, mainly web scraping, data mining, data cleaning
- a LOT of sql for all that data
Sept 2016- Started working on a new front-end for the same US based startup
- React, Webpack, ES6, NPM, Babel, Flux... head-blown, die...
