If you really want to. Google and downloads this book, HTML and CSS eBook by John Ducket. A baby can even teach himself with it, but damn, coding is not easy. Download htt track website copier on your system, use it to download the HTML, CSS and JS tutorials on w3schools so you can study it offline. Best of luck.

Internship ke . Better use those skills to freelance on Upwork, toptal and gigster and continue building up your personal portfolio. You are looking for internship where they will be paying you 50000 Naira or they will tell you to work for free.

Op get on GitHub and stack overflow take projects and Start to build them. Master one CMS like WordPress or Squarespace. Sign up on Upwork, use 50000 naira and buy connects (this is an investment and start bidding for jobs). Don't go the high end jobs start with the smaller ones. Get this jobs and do well at them and build your Upwork profile and later on you can start applying for full time remote jobs. Don't waste your time with any Nigerian company.

I joined Upwork as a digital marketer my first job was 200 dollars. That contract just ended and me and the client are renegotiating 500 dollars per month now. So far I have sent out like 60 proposals and I have three pending interviews. Like you, I started learning programming as I believe digital marketing isn't a safe skill to have. Anyone with common sense and an internet connection can easily know it but you can't say so for programming.

At your level, you should be able to build responsive websites. Go in and start with that and continue improving your skills.

Scratch theory? Is it a bootcamp or something? Is it a centre in lagos where they teach programming?? I'm a self taught data scientist. Want to delve into web development. What would you advise? I'm very proficient in Python. Any suggestions?

Please employ Junior Developers

Sorry OP, I have to be honest with you about the Technology market. Companies don't want to hire Juniors anymore & this is a reality you might have to deal with. Getting a job on Upwork also requires you have some good experience since you would be equally competing with Indians, Chinese & South American programmers who also charge very low for their work. First thing an Upwork client will ask is, show me your past work, so tell me how & what you want to show? Do you have anything to show?.

One way to accelerate your progress is to only focus on one area, for example. React with Javascript or Python with Flask. Deep knowledge is valuable & appreciated more than being a generalist when you are looking for a job.

Second way is to Fake it till you make it, you need to pick up that special area where you want to focus & start reading like a Mad person regarding that area. You read Top 50 or 100 Interview Questions as a Python or Javascript Developer, you can search for them online. Continue reading until it enters your head by force.

Remember that passing an Interview is not about whether you actually know the job, It's about how you can convince your Interviewer that you know the Job, there is a difference. Most programmers learnt on the Job, no one knows it all. Even though we pretend sometimes.

Fix your CV, add atleast 1 or 2 years of experience whether from school or professionally. Never say you have no experience.

Finally, never say you are a Junior. You are simply a programmer, remove the Junior please.

True though Op needs to have projects. Competing on price is the greatest mistake any freelancer can make. I don't have any portfolio shown on my Upwork profile (digital marketing niche) but I started to get a 30 percent proposal response rate as soon as I raised my prices. Westerners perceive high prices to be a symbol of high quality. There are some clients that will never employ you ever if your price is low regardless of your knowledge.

I have no idea about that. I just signed up and got approved. Maybe you lied in the sign up process. It could also be the skills you have is overloaded on Upwork. Skills like article writing and crap like that.
