> Every company asks for years and years of professional experience.

Nope, every company wants someone who can do the job. Getting past the HR door is the tick box of years of professional experience.

Tell you what, start a company today, walk round to twenty small businesses in the business park nearest you and ask them "if you had a button on your website and the customer could press it, what would that button do?"

Listen to what they say. One of them will be something you can code, and hey presto, real customer, professional experience.

This is really good, clever idea.

It fulfills the experience requirement with "hey, I started a business and it generated revenue"

And beyond that it gives you working code examples.
