I like it thanks for sharing 💪

I'll use to teach Git before, so even students doesn't understand directly the purpose of git when starting a journey into web development it helps a lot. See the following:

  1. 1 week of git, very basic, in order to be able to push lonely (not collaborate)
  2. Learn HTML by pushing everything to learn on git (with GitHub, GitLab or else)
  3. Repeat for CSS and JS

At the end you'll be able to handle git by practising. Just note that is important to teach the philosophy which is to learn how to solve problems and not stick to "stuck state" when you don't know something.

Interesting to have feedback on this methodology

That's a great idea too. Learning by doing is the key.

HI @codewithshahan, thanks for this comprehensive article. I also read your another article on roadmap to become a backend developer in another platform. Would u be open to create a Notion list on the roadmap for becoming a FE developer, just like the one you created for backend?

Hello, Army Veteran here. I am extremely grateful and interested in learning to code. I am over 40 and want something different and challenging. I want to create websites and or applications. I have been reading and researching where and what to start with for approximately 2 months now. So much bs 😒 out there 😆. I have an old macbook pro 2013 and a dream to learn programming. I'd like to get started working in the field, after a 6-8 month period of study that I have allotted for learning like it's a job. Seriously. The most effective way to learn a "thing" is by doing a "thing". I don't want to go into debt to learn a skill. Makes no sense to me.
Thank you so much for the roadmap. It has given me a starting point. Now to find a course or curriculum that's going to really teach me something and not waste my time! If you have any suggestions I am open to try. So far I've heard of freecodecamp and the odin project and cs50 I think 🤔 I'm just wondering if I'll really learn what I need to learn to land a job as either front end developer or back end developer. My goal is to learn AWS devops engineering. Also wondering what is a good starting point to learn AWS devops engineering. I'd rather learn AWS devops but am unclear if I need to do this in a specific order since I don't know a thing about coding/programming?
Have a magnificent day from NYC with ❤️
