Go…learn grasshopper.
Thanks, this is great information
While I agree the internet has vast resources for learning about topics, most of it is opinionated and is not actually a course for learning. Attend a University instead (you can just take classes at Community Colleges without having to register as a full-time student usually, or sit in at your nearest major campus). The first one you mention, Web Design From Scratch, is an awful resource, and many people think that they can just learn how to be a great web developer in a week or two if they put their mind to it. This simply is not true, and in today’s market, being a web developer is one of the most complicated jobs out there. Because you don’t just have to have a great eye, and a great mind, but you have to be able to understand and progress. Most of the people I have worked with in the past consider themselves “web developers” however, all they do is copy and paste code, and have no knowledge about writing their own - which is THE key to being a great developer, and it takes years and years of practice to become respected in this industry. It bother’s me that people think a few tutorials skimmed over and you can call yourself a web developer, that’s just wrong.
How do you learn Grasshopper? Is there a link for that? Do you get to spit up black stuff?
Everybody wants something for nothing. FREE! FREE! FREE! You want ot learn web development for free and think you can become a bona fide web developer? Come on AMERICANS! It’s just a quick source to get you started. Geesh….
This article is a simple delight.
