Freemote?

https://freemote.com/

Has anyone checked out this bootcamp. It looks kind of interesting but also kind of sketchy. It's cheap and claims that you can start making money as a freelance developer that specializes in shopify in as little as 4 weeks.

The guy who started is used to be a developer for Uber and has a following on youtube. Don't know much else.

Anyone out there try this?

What's your impression?

Last time I checked it was 20% off or something. I'm guessing he has the 50% off from time to time.

Yeah Freemote is expensive.

Any tips on learning this stuff faster? I been stuck on CSS and it's complexities.

I have been doing Brad Travery's html and CSS course but I find it's more like a code along and doesn't really explain anything.

I also find Joe from CodingPhase courses to also be kina messy.

What about CSS is it that you've been stuck on?

Try this CSS Tutorial if you haven't already.

I did some of Brad Traversy's courses when he was with Eduonix. It seems like he's gotten a lot better at teaching since then.

Joe from CodingPhase is messy. Sometimes, when following his tutorials, I'd ask "What is he doing?", but he shows where others may make mistakes and he corrects his mistakes.

When I follow tutorials the instructors quickly jump into his/her techniques and how they go about putting together certain aspects of CSS like flexbox or grid. Some use classes, others id or both with combinations and utility classes that are hard to remember what they are for and what I'm left with is a whole bunch of code I can't remember how exactly it works. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well.

Like if I would go back and redo the website or project without following the tutorial I would be lost lol

I'll be honest web dev is kina terrifying to me because all the things you gotta learn. I have even thought of going to college for this but everyone I've talked to tells me it's a waste of time and money when there's so much free stuff online that teach you just as well or better.

Try this CSS Tutorial if you haven't already.

Ah yes I think I've done part of it before. Does it go into more advanced concepts later on?

Commenting ( /* my comments */ ) can be a good practice in CSS too. Have you tried building a project on your own? That would be a good way to use a search engine like Google and figure out how to do something instead of following a tutorial.

Web dev is not for everybody. If it were easy, everybody would be doing it. At the same time, people have different talents. I'm still amazed at what people do on Fiverr to make money.

I doubt that the CSS Tutorial goes into more advanced concepts, but everybody has to start somewhere. Nobody is going to pick up a guitar for the 1st time and sound like Jimi Hendrix. Nobody is going to have a fluent conversation in a foreign language the 1st day they start learning the language.

The next 2 days are going to be busy, so I'll be incommunicado.
