| I set a goal in November 2013 to become a professional developer in 5 years. Became a developer in June 2015. The first few months were figuring out what to learn but once I learned what the market wanted in my local area, I went about learning that particular language and framework. In my case that was Ruby on Rails. Now I'm trying to become a more rounded Full Stack dev. 1 year: Able to make basic crud apps, use Jquery, css,
2 year: Much more comfortable with Rails, unix, CI and everything that goes with it
3 year: Comfortable using services such as Elasticsearch, learning new languages etc.
4 year - now: Currently learning Docker but make a list at the start of every year of the things I want to learn. I make a list every year of what I want to learn and just do it. Current list looks like this: [x] Rails Performance by Nate B [ ] Teach Yourself Computer Science [x] Design for Hackers book [x] ES6 by Wes Bos [ ] learn docker https://diveintodocker.com/ref-gorails#enroll [x] Javascript course 30 days (Wes Bos) [x] Css grid course (Wes Bos) [x] Css flex course (Wes Bos) [ ] Scala - build list of resources first [ ] Javascript the weird parts (udemy) |
