Is it possible to come up with a list of areas of HTML, CSS and JS you should know to be able to call yourself a good front end developer? Maybe you know of a list that would answer this quickly? EG HTML: -Proper structure -Use of !DOCTYPE -Knowledge of all tags and uses (because it's easy) CSS: -Applying style to text -CSS Grids for layout - To be updated... but you get the idea

Well its a money back guarantee if I dont get one in 6 months or less. Or so they say. Here is a perfect example of one of the hair ripping out Front End job ads in Glasgow; Junior Developer • PHP / MySQL • Glasgow • Perm - up to £ 22k Are you a talented programmer looking to forge a successful career in a company where you will be encouraged to learn and develop? Would you like to work on a varied and interesting workload? If this sounds like you, read on- So I should learn 3 coding languages, plus two back end languages, just for the priviledge of working for the same salary as I am on now and not even really what a Junior FED should be making? Do one. This seems more like it; Junior-Mid Front End Web Developer - eCom Leader | £27-33K Glasgow £27,000 - £33,000 + Excellent Benefits & Perks Package Front End Web Developer Key Responsibilities • Contribute to the development of our e-commerce platform, with intuitive functionality for our online customers • Work closely with our internal teams to develop tools to improve the efficiency & effectiveness of our web operations • Contribute to key software development decisions within the company Front End Web Developer Essential Skills • Solid commercial web development experience • Computer science degree or similar • HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript JQuery, AJAX, ASP.NET Razor • Visual Studio • Develop responsive web pages for multiple browsers and devices • Independently test and debug web pages in the browser • Write good quality code which adheres to industry standards so as ensure the maintainability and reliability of the developed software • Take part in code reviews including using feedback received and providing feedback for others • Be comfortable working as part of a team and be able to demonstrate good communication skills • Have the ability to work independently and be capable of managing your own time Desirable Skills • Design skills • Sass • Development using Node, NPM and Webpack • Visual Studio Code • React and Redux • AngularJS • C# and object oriented programming Plus the need to sift through all the fake job ads that are really for courses. Nevertheless I am not dissuaded just trying to prep myself for a hopefully efficient entry into the job world in a year or so's time! Thanks as always

I know I'd be much less willing to do this if the course I was doing didn't have a job guarantee, it sounds like if you get a job via self teaching its also via luck? What would be an example of value that I could bring despite no commercial experience... extensive javascript knowledge?

True, and ANOTHER question (god when will it end eh?!) Like I said I am yet to come across a job advertisement that only lists html css and JS as the needed languages, or any that dont ask for commercial experience. How did you get past this or did you find a junior role advertised?

Man when I see all these different names it intimidates the crap out of me! Bearing in mind that I was the same when I learned I need to know at least 3 languages however until I learned that I am picking up html and css easily. Cant help but wonder and think, is making more languages rather than optimising existing ones not over complicating the process?

Thanks to both of you! I definitely want to be doing front end work, I enjoy seeing the visual result of my work, and know I will enjoy turning ideas into websites once I can! I don't really have a massive understanding of what backend does EXACTLY, but I know it's behind the scenes stuff and whilst I fully plan on increasing my arsenal and learning it as well, I know I want to be mainly doing front end. It's the £300 monthly for each course thats making the dilemma, but on the open classrooms website they even say themselves the full stack course is a generalist course, and i would rather be a specialist than a generalist. Then theres the dilemma of whether to actually pay for a course or continue with freecodecamp and upgrade to treehouse, I am having a kid soon after all, but the degree would be satisfying and give me an edge? Can I ask another question, sorry! Please can you add one or two languages to this list if it was you and you were to add 2 back end languages to your arsenal what would they be? HTML CSS JAVASCRIPT ? ? Really appreciated!

Bit late perhaps, all I have to contribute to is the grammar issues lol Like the caps where no caps should be; The Brands we have Worked with aren’t just projects, they’re Friends we met on our Journey Should be?; The brands we have worked with aren’t just projects, they’re friends we met on our journey And pop an S in size; and actually remove the last s, work is plural in context WE WORK WITH COMPANIES OF ALL SIZE. HERE IS THE BEST OF OUR WORKS! WE WORK WITH COMPANIES OF ALL SIZES. HERE IS THE BEST OF OUR WORK!

Hi All, I am planning on doing the OpenClassrooms bachelors degree course and have been planning on doing the Front End Developer course, but looking further into it the Full Stack course is the same price... Looking at job advertisements I am yet to find one that states HTML, CSS and JS as the only coding languages needed and absolutely none are interested in anyone with no commercial experience, hence why I think having a degree in it will give me an edge. So one of my questions are if you were me would you go for the Full Stack course? Secondly did you encounter the same "commercial experience required" roadblock and if so how did you get past it to get employed? Should a good portfolio bypass the need for this or is there anything I could do when the time comes to negate this issue? Thanks! C4W

Nevermind sorry - sussed it ,'clear' CSS <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <style> img { clear: bottom; } h1 { color: blue; margin-top="100px"; } hr {clear: left} p { color: red; clear: left; } </style> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <img src="http://cdn.northlight-images.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/pan_h_006339_rutland.jpg" alt="Landscape" style=float:left clear="bottom"; width="500px" height="100px" clear: bottom;> <h1 style="h1">This is a Heading</h1> <hr> <p style="p"><img src="https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/centaur-wp/creativereview/prod/content/uploads/2015/09/P.jpg" alt="P Image" width="50px" height="50px">This is a <b>Paragraph</b></p> <hr> </body> </html>

There isn't a spot to post and get feedback on issues? Got a bit carried away with a W3Schools tutorial and I've wound up with an issue, in the code I decided to add some images from what I'd learned a day ago but as you will see the banner I wish to display/float to the left of the Header is not seperate on the page from the <p> section... here is the code; As you can see i've tried adding margins, im only 2 days into studying HTML but not sure if these tools even apply to what I'm looking to do. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <style> img { margin-bottom="100px"; } h1 { color: blue; margin-top="100px"; } p { color: red; } </style> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <img src="http://cdn.northlight-images.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/pan_h_006339_rutland.jpg" alt="Landscape" style=float:left width="500px" height="100px" clear: bottom;> <h1 style="h1">This is a Heading</h1> <hr> <p style="p"><img src="https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/centaur-wp/creativereview/prod/content/uploads/2015/09/P.jpg" alt="P Image" width="50px" height="50px">This is a <b>Paragraph</b></p> <hr> </body> </html>

Spam or not, I've seen a lot of posts of forums from people that cant code a calculator demanding we use our expert skills for ridiculous terms. Like the programming world is a dieing one or something. Hope this guy ended up with a free host site to show his 'investors'.

Do feel a bit daft asking this! But I'll go ahead anyway. Wondering if others felt like this when first starting their coding journeys. I look at walls of code and the main thing that pops into my head is that learning code must be like learning and retaining each word of a few (spoken) languages. Like some sort of techy polyglot. I mean when I look at, what I call anyway, basic code I can see how it can make sense, how each component works together but when we get to stuff like this, it fries my brain how people can remember this; https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=php+code+examples&amp;source=lnms&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjJ147D3vvdAhXE3KQKHXzXD24Q_AUIDigB&amp;biw=1408&amp;bih=658#imgrc=5onW2SSV9Trg_M: Is there anyone that can look at that and understand it's function? Really just looking to know what level of coding this falls under and how people found retaining so much information

Nah I am very very new, a few courses of freecodecamp but thats mainly it. So really excited that I don't have to limit my learning to how many thousands of pounds I can pay! Seen places saying I could know the basics in about 3 months time?! Seems a very short time to learn the 3 basic languages?

Thanks to both of you! Probably saved me thousands - nearly enrolled in a £2000 course which, from what you say, is useless apart from the knowledge I'd gain. I work full-time so wont be able to attend a bootcamp but damn thats some crazily good value, 10 quid donation and 2 weeks of training? Wow.

Hey everyone, I have rediscovered my love for learning to code, used to mess about for fun when I was in my teens - mainly just copying source code and editing button images to make my own websites, not really coding but was enjoyable. Really need some advise on how to get started though. There are many different online courses available offering CIW certificates - if I was pay and study for the CIW in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3 and Graphical User Interface would these be enough for me to start applying for trainee or junior roles? Alternatively, how did you get started? Advice is SO appreciated! C4W
