You can't possibly teach yourself how to be a web developer in 180 days, right? Yet that is what Jennifer Dewalt did. In her blog, blog.jenniferdewalt.com, Jennifer outlines her approach of making and publishing one web site per day for 180 days. Additionally, each web site is accompanied by a blog post. The entire collection of 180 web sites can be found at jenniferdewalt.com. Her sites start out as small HTML and CSS projects and gain sophistication as she dabbles into the realms of Rails and Node.
Having a well-defined mission and setting goals to reach that mission is what it is all about. A mission statement should be clear, measurable, and time bound. Jennifer's mission, 180 websites in 180 days, is short, sweet, and fits the bill. Rather than by reading books or attending a bootcamp, Jennifer gained the knowledge she needed by relying on "StackOverflow, MDN, CSS Tricks, blogs and demos". (Dewalt)
My mission is to have a job as a web developer by March, 2014. (Earlier would be better, but I don't want to be unrealistic.) I believe I am doing the exact right things to accomplish my goal. I am currently attending the 2013 fall cohort of General Assembly's Web Development Immersive bootcamp in San Francisco. I've already spent months ripping through every online tutorial I could get my hands on for JavaScript, Ruby, HTML, CSS and Rails. I am now fully immersed in my program. I plan to document my progress here, for myself and for anyone else who might be curious about it. I'm sure I'll have good days and bad days, frustrating bouts with debugging, days when I'm not as sharp. Whenever I need a little encouragement, I recall one of my favorite lines from the movie The Edge, "What one man (woman) can do, another can do."
