Ask HN: How you started your career in web dev?
Hello Web Devs,
I am switching career to web dev. I need your advice on start learning web dev. How did you start?
Suggest me books, tutorials, and tips.
- mtmail 7y agoHN archive is full of previous discussions on how to start with web development. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=learn+web+dev&sort=byPopularity&dateRange=pastYear&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=learn+web+dev&sort=byPopularit... I keep recommending https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web but previously you wrote you learn python. So tutorials for python+web like https://docs.djangoproject.com/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/ are better. Don't be discouraged by slow learning, you essentially learn 3-5 languages and 100 concepts and every developer started from zero.

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1827/ https://xkcd.com/1827/ After that, I'd recommend the Coursera course Learning How to Learn as pre-work. 3 free resources I highly recommend: - Harvard's CS50. Cannot recommend this highly enough. - MIT's Intro to Programming w/ EdX. Great way to learn more about problem solving - FreeCodeCamp: Great directed resource for a path to learn front end development. There's so much information out there that it's helpful to have some guidance.
