I've been an avid follower of the programming section as a guest and now I want to fully make the switch to tech by next year. I'm confused on the path to take (data science, front end, back end, qa, product design) so that I can earn faster as I've bills to pay.

Rocice:
Product design
You can get started with UI UX
Take a course on udemy for $10 or so

CryptoClub2018:
The programming is path successful people understand that cloud web with orange device communicating towards designs is a web operation. Actually, the phyton program succeed data science and technology of device with front ends coincide back ends. To keep updated, learning product design with clouding and web design developer operation technically in a technologic device will open doors.

Na wetin people no go dey understand I wan dey write now

UncleJudax:
Doesn't really take years to be honest. unless you code once or twice a month. With intensive practice, 6 months is enough to have a good grasp of whats what...in any direction: FE, BE, DS etc

Brother, I am a programmer myself, been doing this since 16yo, the Top programmers I know takes alcohol and smokes, programming in this modern age is a lifestyle, you’ve just got to balance everything.

If you are not ready to dedicate a part of your Life to this Craft, you ain’t going to Where.

Randal:
Good topic

Thermodynamics:
Answers please, I really get passion for this programming thing but I nor know where to start

TundeChris:


It takes time. I think python might even be the easy way out if you want to have real depth.

I suggest SQL for someone who wants to break into the tech scene. But if you want to actually code stuff, it depends on what you want to do.

If your goal is Web Dev then, HTML, CSS, Javascript, React

DaveDGreat:


Shebi you self you don notice am?

Maj196:
4 years of becoming a pro not just grasping the basics.

gracedson:
HTML + CSS for start

Thank you. It was HTML, CSS, for me before I went into SQL, still backpedaling on JS. I hope I get my mojo back lol.

UncleJudax:

Unless you are studying at a University or something similar (mandatory minimum years), you don't need 4 years to learn programming. Also, 4 years learning/practicing without working (in real world projects) would not make you a pro either.

If you are already working, then your comment was misleading.

HEAVEN4444:
if you want to teach someone html and css for as low as 10k that means these are two useless skills because they have not benefited you yet. unless you just want to help the person as a charity case lol

SQL is definitely a win. You can get a job while learning JS on the side or PHP or whatever it is that interests you, however, If we are talking about the money places, JS will come up sooner or later in your career.

There's this material I used when learning JS, it's 30 days of Javascript by asabeneh (Just google it). Easy to read and you can finish it in 3 days if you are gingered .

CSTRR:

True.
It takes sacrifice.

I am a chemical engineer.
And when I get back home from work at 9pm, I still sit down and code till 11pm before I sleep and wake up by 4:30am.

Every freaking day.

When I am at work, any free chance I get, I practice on my phone.

WIREMIND:
We'll, I'm here.
After you have decided, reach me to get your laptop powerbank to spend up your learning process.

Bros, You mean you still have a Great Social life...like Dating and Outings....weekend Trips....together with Programming?

how do you do it.....

i need some Heads-up on how you manage the Time

Temisia:
No easy path. Just be patient and devote time to it.
HTML
CSS
JavaScript

Then frontend
REACT
NextJS

Backend
NodeJs

Time is the biggest challenge if you can devote time to it you'll be amazed at how fast you can learn. Then as I tell my students. Practice practice practice until it becomes your second nature

Or Python
Or Laravel

gracedson:
I don’t have a Social life at all, I don’t go out at all, except to get food and fuel, and more importantly go to Church.
I have just learnt to balance my life around programming.

Lalami3232:
Programming is actually easy if you put ur mind to it. When I started, i was coding for 12hours straight. If u wish to learn, I can always assist, that's if you're in Lagos.
Start with HTML, CSS, then JavaScript. After that, move to a framework like Node and ReactJS
