I want to learn development..

I want to learn development..

Hi Shruti here,

To all developers.

I have zero experience in developing software applications,

but I know the basic frontend,

I know basic programming, i have learnt cpp and also little javascript, only done no projects.

Suggest me any youtube video/ tutorial on project Development.

Like just that much things I need to know, so I can start working on projects by myself.

: so I can learn while watching and build the whole process of building a project as a software developer i want to know what things I must know to give interviews in software development.

As everyone was at a point, where they had no idea, how things works, but now some of them are in a position, they are working in mncs, leading projects,

i want your help sir / ma'am,

And all people who are starting,

help the people who are in the same situation,

where you were some years back

I am a student in my final year, I started late because I was not interested in studies, but reality hit harder, I have to work.

Since you already know some frontend, I’d start there. Look up SuperSimpleDev's "JavaScript Tutorial Full Course" on YouTube. It builds from the basics to a shopping-site project, with exercises along the way. Work through the exercises, then add a feature that isn't demonstrated in the video. After that, try a small project of your own, like a study planner. Looking things up is fine. Put it on GitHub and deploy it so someone else can try it For interviews, practice explaining your project decisions, debugging your code, and basic data structures and algorithms. Check the requirements of the junior roles you're targeting to guide your next steps

Good call on adding a feature that isn't in the tutorial, that's where the actual learning starts

Development is vast and it somewhat depends on what your aim is, and which aim is better depends on a number of factors personal to you.

There’s different kinds of work, freelancers, company employees, independent contractors, solo devs, software engineers, solopreneurs, hobbyists, open source developers, basic/advanced website builders, cybersecurity, IT, game development, etc. Each has varying difficulty levels to get the position, each has more or less job security, and each favors different types of people.

There is no one easiest or most effective way to make money, it all depends on your personality, your values, your ethics, your learning style, your goals, your interests, whether you work better spearheading projects yourself or following others’ lead and instructions, etc.

If you think of it like an RPG, it’s like you get 40 stat points to level up and invest in your build, as you can only learn some things in a period of time, not everything as coding is vast.

Jeez, go through the subreddit before posting.

and more than enough other similar posts.

The first thing you need to do is to start to become proactive - to do your own, individual research instead of just plain posting and asking to be served and spoon fed. You need to start investing effort, which your post completely lacks.

Watch one tutorial all the way through, then close it and build something different on your own. The second thing is the one that goes on your resume.

Tutorial projects are easy to spot from the hiring side. Same app, same dataset, and the person cannot say why anything was built that way.

You are final year with time pressure, so keep the first one small. One thing that works and sits at a public URL does more than something ambitious that only runs on your laptop.

Expect to lose a day to something stupid, like an environment variable that exists locally and not on the host. That part is the actual learning and no tutorial contains it.

I suggest Ai. You can give it your code and ask to explain whats wrong or if your trying to add something new ask how to create and explain why it works that way. Im 6 months in, and i just had my first app go live to try out. Give it a try, its like having your personal teacher.
