Mini Web Development Roadmap

1. open your social media accounts
   • twitter for coding
   • instagram for coding
   • visit https://www.100daysofcode.com/ for daily posting rules on social media account
2. open your development accounts
   • https://github.com/
   • https://codepen.io/
   • https://stackoverflow.com/
   • https://gitcoin.co/ advanced stuff
3. choose/build your learning curriculum to pair with freecodecamp
   • MDN - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn
   • odin project - https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-javascript?
   • https://northcoders.com/onboarding/preparation-steps
   • https://www.w3schools.com/
   • Asabeneh S. Yetayeh
   • any youtube playlists, udemy, etc, for beginner web development
   • etc, the goal is to find at least one learning resource you're comfortable with
4. use your desired curriculum side-by-side with freecodecamp and #100daysofcode
   • the idea is to use your curriculum as classroom tutor and freecodecamp as assignments
   • for example, before you complete freecodecamp's Basic HTML and HTML5 you need to complete Mozilla's Getting started with the web, Structuring the web and Styling the web
5. look out for Zuri/HNG internship enrollment or other free internships/bootcamps online
   • an internship like HNG/Zuri is critical to your learning journey because it throws you into real life scenarios and many products you work on have the potential to be shipped/released to the public where you earn a share as a contributor.
   • you do not need to pay for a bootcamp to learn unless you have a different goal for paying for one, there are other bootcamp-type resources online that helps for free
6. when you have spent a month or more learning, start exploring/registering for hackathons focused on web development
   • https://devpost.com/
   • https://csc.docs.microsoft.com/ignite/registration/fall2021
7. you need to complete a minimum of the first three certification in freecodecamp to be ready to start applying for frontend developer roles, but I have added a forth on testing, which is equally important
   • Responsive Web Design
   • JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures, supplement with 30 Days of JavaScript
   • Front End Development Libraries, supplement with 30 Days Of React
   • Quality Assurance (Testing)
8. build your porfolio page, you can use GitHub Pages and you should have all the pieces at this point
9. apply for jobs

This roadmap is a fantastic guide for anyone looking to dive into web development! By engaging on social media and utilizing platforms like GitHub and CodePen, you can build a solid foundation. Pairing resources like FreeCodeCamp with MDN and The Odin Project ensures a comprehensive learning experience. Don’t forget to seek internships like HNG/Zuri for real-world experience, and participating in hackathons can further sharpen your skills. Completing certifications in FreeCodeCamp will prepare you for frontend developer roles. Excited to see how this journey unfolds, especially if it leads to opportunities at places like Asli Tarcan Clinic!
