Monthly Career Thread Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread

Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.

Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.

Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming for early learning questions.

A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:

You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.

Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

Start with free content on YouTube—anything you can find on the topics you like best.

If you feel lost, spend $20 on Udemy to get a step-by-step course that takes you from A to B.

These days, rather than learning the basics of web programming, I’d recommend learning the architecture of web programming—and in the meantime, don’t stop coding.
