I have had a few mentions from some people asking for advice on how they would go about learning web development.

If I was to start learning to code today precisely web development this is exactly how I would go about it

I would learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and then React. React is a JavaScript framework which makes your live a lot easier. Once I am done learning react I would pick up Gatsby and Nextjs both React frameworks. Don't worry it's very easy to pick up once you know React. The thing is plain React is absolutely ridiculous for SEO. So if you intend to get your website found by Google, use Gatsby or Nextjs.

Once you are done with this you should have covered the frontend track. With this technologies and a few projects to your portfolio you should be able to apply to frontend developer jobs.

Now the backend is where it gets very tricky. A lot of people would recommend Nodejs which is a JavaScript runtime that enables you to run JavaScript outside the browser. For a beginner avoid Nodejs, I feel the hype for nodejs is created by startup founders to flood the market with Nodejs developers so they could be spoilt for choice when it comes to hiring. I have seen a lot of MERN, MEAN and MEVN stack developers on twitter looking to even work for free to gain experience. Some companies even feel it's not possible for a junior developer to be a MERN stack or whatever JavaScript full stack technology developer. I feel it's a very bad choice for beginners.

I would recommend a beginner to instead pick a platform. Learn the language that powers that platform. If you wanna be an expert at WordPress and Magento development then PHP Is your go to language. If you want to be a Shopify developer then ruby on rails should be your go to language. Shopify uses liquid which is an offshoot version of Ruby on rails. If you wanna be a salesforce developer then java and c# should be the languages you learn. Salesforce uses apex which is java on steroids. There's another platform called sap which uses abap as it's own programming language.

Why a platform? It's better to niche down early. A lot of bootcamps, training centres, self learners et al are all learning the MERN stack or whatever other stupid JavaScript full stack technology. They are all going to copy the same projects and then they will all apply to the same jobs with the same projects. Web development is so freaking wide. So many aspects are untouched and overlooked.

Aside getting a high paying job easily as an expert in this platforms, this platforms are largely distributed and they can enable you to make money on your own as a developer. For instance , on Shopify the average Shopify theme goes for 200 USD and everyone familiar with Shopify knows how ugly the themes on the Shopify store are. Imagine building a much better looking theme and putting it up there and you even sell just 3 themes a month. That's more than what 70 percent of developers in Nigeria make. There's also the Shopify app store which you can build apps that make E commerce easy and you can charge users on an annual or on a monthly basis. You don't even need to worry about distribution as Shopify already takes care of that. The same thing with Shopify also applied to Magento and salesforce. Magento has very few themes in the marketplace. If you check envato marketplace you would find a Magento theme that has done over 1 million USD in sales. The least sales from one Magento theme there is around 20000 USD. So many people fit no see this kind money for their life for naija till them die.

Salesforce is filled with enterprise level applications. Applications that are used by big companies think ExxonMobil, Chevron, KPMG, Deloitte. It cost 2500 USD to list an app on the Salesforce store but the average revenue from each paid app on the store is over 1 million USD. Some apps from the salesforce store have become billion dollar companies. Companies like docusign started as salesforce apps then you have sap. You can check the sap app store. The lease annual subscription for an app is around 5000 USD a year. I have seen 20000 USD in annual subscription for an app. Anyone who works in any of the IT departments of any of the big multinationals must have seen sap.

So in summary, learn the basics and niche down. Most of this platforms also have certifications which employers use for hiring. Those certifications alone immediately set you apart from everyone else. No one is gonna hire a generalist web developer as a Salesforce developer.

so how can I learn as a beginner..can you coach me through whatsapp

Good morning guys.

Well, I happen to undergo the internship with the Dataville Research LLC. Basically, it was more of an internship and learning modules on International Development ranging from Poverty Assessment and some other intricacies.

YES, I also paid Five thousand Naira for the internship. Well, this may be quite surprising since internships are meant to pay someone. However, it was stated that the payment was for the course module and learning materials.

Also be informed that most of the module and lessons will be undertaken using Microsoft Teams.

All in all, it was a great learning experience, charting some basic intricacies in the modus operandi of international development and development economics.

More so, I was able to forge some good connections from the internship and served as a valuable experience on my CV.

So, if you have the 5k and you want to learn some stuffs on international development, you can do well to pay the money.

More so, if you still have doubts on the organization, you can search them on LinkedIn and you will see myriads of individuals who have undergone the internship and learning curve.

In conclusion, I was sceptical about the payment due to lack of information, most especially review from people about the internship but it was a trial program I never regretted paying for.

PS: I finished with the 2020 Advanced Global South Cohort. However, the internship isn't a guarantee for getting a job after the internship program. It is just more or less an eye opener into the learning curves in international development.

I just thought to give review since there isn't one after a long while.

Shalom!

All the best in your decision!

thanks dear
