My honest advice if you 2ant to be front-end and employable easily Master JavaScript

If you want to have a good job and work in top company know Java or .NET but mostly Java

If you are looking to do freelance jobs and build website for quick jobs and fast projects learn PHP


If you are looking to master this craft and really interested in programming for programming sake like me, read alot of theoretical stuff like Computer Science, Data structure, Algorithm, how the is works, and mostly low level stuff this will make you self yourself as a generalist when you build solutions for any platform and environment. I prefer this method because it will set you apart never stop reading. Those 3 up are the most used in Nigeria market especially JavaScript. Theoretical aspect matters alot too such knowledge will help especially when debuting or solving problems.

My 1000000000% honest advice don't do that, do a self learn everything they teach could be outdated or even getting outdated after you learn, there are so many sites you can use and learn on your own, during my time in Aptech I only spent money I didn't spend my time there , there was nothing they could teach me that I could find for myself online plus I was technically way more advanced my classmates. Building projects for pple self, self learn is the key, give me today I will post all the links you need.

Links as promised:

Advanced
https://github.com/ossu/computer-science // Why is this important, unless you want to be a framework developer you will be limited, this will expand your knowledge you don't have to finish everything just ensure you read them consistently
https://teachyourselfcs.com/ // Still on CS
https://learn.saylor.org/course/cs301 // I like understanding Low level stuff because i started with C++ despite still not good at it, but it makes me understand memory and how your code are compiled and translated to the CPU to execute.

Programming
https://www.sololearn.com/


Other more experienced and good devs than me will share more, we have good guys here, the key is always learn, no one is the best we keep learning and improving.
