If I spend 1hour everyday learning to code

[KingShizL]

So I chatted with a software developer and he advised I learn to code html, css and JavaScript if I want to be a web app developer.

So now I am considering investing 1 hour per day from my busy schedule to acquire these skills online.

How long do you think it will take me to be a web app developer if I do this.

If you take on small projects it will go really fast, there's a lot of resources available online to get you started. You will be able to build up some good base within a matter of months.

He forgot to tell you you need to learn PHP too, otherwise you won't do much with just HTML/CSS/JavaScript. It will take you a few years to become a web developer, with 1 hour/day.

freecodecamp.com is your ultimate resource.
Everything is absolutely free. And it is the best out there.

8 - 12 month, if you spent 1 hour daily. Basically you need to spend 3 hours daily for quick progress. Do practice alot.

He actually told me about php and also Node . But the first 3 are html, css and JavaScript

1 hour a day is nothing and you'll learn so slow.

You need to do projects and just work on it as much as you can.

Find something small you want to build, and start building in today/tomorrow. How? Research on Stackoverflow and Google non-stop. All dev/programmers are constantly searching for how to implement certain things in code.. hundreds of times a day sometimes.

Just research what you need to do first, then do it, then research the next thing.. that's the way to learn. Build something fun or useful though, not just some boring piece of shit you think you "should" build.

Okay I will but do I have to remember every single code? It kinda looks overwhelming

But I will need to be done learning a few languages before doing this right?

No, you need to learn syntax, functions, libraries etc rather than logics and most important how to merge different pieces of code.

No way. Biggest fallacy in the world is that you need to learn coding before doing anything.

If you can research well you can build something basic today.

If you want to learn html start right now..

1. Go here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_basic

2. Any code you add on the left side will reflect on the right side - it's called an emulator.

3. Go here:

4. Follow though it and start doing some coding.

5. Get used to seeing what the different commands are.

No doubt, w3schools is way too Good.

It takes about 10,000 hours practice to become an expert.

So it will take you 10,000 days or about 27 years at 1 hour per day!

If you want to learn programming, like the principles of how programming works and not just a specific language, I would recommend starting with Python and learning this course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/python

It's the best beginner's course for programming anywhere, and you'll learn about concepts that carry over through all programming languages.

Html and css are what's known as markup - so they just make 2 dimensional things happen on a webpage.. add text, add images etc. But programming is very interesting and worth looking into, and is basically anything where a file can be executed to run a program, with there being an infinite amount of things you can do with it like building social media bots, webscraping, creating APIs, and a billion other things.

For eg. even if you want to just make websites, you'll need to learn javascript eventually, and maybe a language like PHP or a framework like Django. So you'll have to learn about things like loops, conditionals, and OOP.

That course I linked is AMAZING as a beginner, seriously. Check it out and then you'll know a lot more once you finish that course than when you started.

Python is for back end developers. He mentioned front-end languages. But it has charm.

Better to learn Python then HTML/CSS than the other way around.

That's true.

If I were you, I would invest my time in learning no-code tools to create web apps.

Bubble is a very good tool for this. In 6M you can become a complete professional.

You have to give a little bit more time than just one hour every day. Consistency is the key, and practice makes you perfect. You don't have to remember all the code but the underlying logic behind the code. That's it. Good luck!

Just do this:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title> I want to learn coding</title>
</head>

<body>

<p> HTML is easy, you'll get through it fast</p>

<a href="freecodecamp.org">Learn For Free</a>

</body>

</html>

This is the basic HTML structure, which will take you 1/2 days to comprehend and be able to understand which points where.

Of course, there's more to it, yet you should start from here to make it easier on yourself.

On short: HTML is the language that defines what a page contains.

CSS gives shape, color, and beauty.

Javascript makes it interactive.

Short ways of learning the definitions.
