Hi Nairalanders, i want to go into web design/development so i want to ask,what are my chances of getting a job as a web developer or what are the works of a web developer?
Pls Help..

Web developer is a type of programmer that builds web applications using frontend and back end tools. So the laguages you need is HTML and CSS (Paramount) JavaScript, a back end language like php or ruby or python or java, then databases like mysql, postgres or nosql databases like mongodb.
So as you can see the learning curve is deep from HTML to CSS to JavaScript to php using a database like mysql or mariadb.
If you enter into web dev just to get a job then you might go hungry and lose the interest in it.
One thing people fail to know is that programming is not like other business where you start seeing returns immediately. It is more of a career than a business. So if you want to be really good, you must have to dedicate your whole life to it.
It takes time bro and experience. Just like an investment you make on yourself and reap the rewards later.
You can work on andela, do freelance works on fiverr or run projects for computer science students.
My 2 cents.

Learn Very well and Understand it. I can tell you, you will make money and more money, I'm not a developer, just an analyst and a tester and I know how much I rake after each project.

But learn to develop and not to secure a job

If you are a good web developer... You will definitely get a job...

Huge potentials

But you must be outstanding and focus on the world stage, such as Fiverr, Freelancer and Upwork..

You can be good as a web developer and be hungry.

Enough said

How much will it cost to test a project

From my little experience the fintechs and the banks are crazy about technology and have an appetite for using technology to get ahead of their competitors . They also seem to be pay competitively (particularly the successful fintechs). However the chances of a newbie getting hired is usually low as the environment is very rapid and you’ll most likely be handed a project on your first week on the job. No time to teach you through the basics .

Much opportunity...

Who can guide me on setting up upwork account.

You want him to explain how your father married your mother and then he becomes a good uncle.
Can't you do some research lazy brain

What I'm going to tell you right now is nothing but the truth.

The common way web developers like me earn is simply freelancing
and the thing is, it's just once in a while that we see these opportunities.

as for jobs, It's not easy to find one, and it's because of the fact that there are only a few websites in Nigeria that would require employing hundreds to thousands of developers, just like we have in advanced countries.

So, what I'd advice you to do is simply look for a problem that you can solve with your Technology skills, and people would pay you for it.

That's how we have the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Quora, Google e.t.c

like I'm doing right now with the one on my signature

It is easy compared to software development.

codemaniacs:
if you didn't study computer science or computer engineering go and get a job.... unless you want to be a freelancer.. no one would hire a self taught programmer in Nigeria .

this is my opinion..

Big lie.

Fat lies.
