Did you learn to program in school or teach yourself? Taught myself HTML, CSS and JS. Learnt PHP, Rails, C# and Node.js. Learnt through online courses at http://www.codecademy.com/ and many hours debugging. Did you do unpaid work to establish yourself? Yes, I advise only doing unpaid work on your own side projects. Without a budget, clients will continually ask you for features. Roughly how long did it take you from day 1 of learning to day 1 of being paid? 3 years. What was your first gig? I did a week of work experience, at two different start-ups. I then started my own business doing freelance web development at http://www.matthewbordenweb.com/ |
