You can work remotely. Everything can be done online. That means you can broaden your job search to openings around the world. You can live anywhere you want. There are tons of options. The code can be beautiful and what you make with it can be beautiful as well. As cheesy as that sounds it will happen.
And, of course, the finished product of the code can be just as awe-inspiring. It is easy for us to forget how dependent we have become on technology. It is seamlessly integrated into our everyday lives. LEARNing how to code gives you a newfound appreciation of the work that gets put into the technology that many take for granted. As a web developer, you get to take part in creating these things. In closing, there are tons of reasons to get into web development. Everybody has their reason and their path to becoming a web developer.
Hopefully, we helped you find one reason that resonated with you. I am a human — the same species that created this machine. If I want to command it to do something, I will find a way. I am its commander. I felt the rush of accomplishment that you only get when you spend hours trying to figure something out, then finally see that all the your tests have passed. This was literally one of the most satisfying moments of my life. More satisfying than any moment in any game I have ever played.
I was hooked. I wanted to complete each algorithm, because to me, each algorithm was a boss that I had to defeat, and every boss I defeated would earn me experience points that would level me up to a more skillful coder.
I knew I was going to defeat each boss and become a better coder. At this point, I had put in about 1, hours of work into FreeCodeCamp. My comprehension of JavaScript coding was far superior to when I initially started. I did find myself staring at my computer for very long hours and on many occasions I would see the sunrise. In only six months, I learned to do all these things.
I began to understand how web applications were made. If Free Code Camp had been available when I was in high school, I can only imagine the level I would be at right now, or how far in I would be in terms of my career.
The most ridiculous thing about all of this is, of course, that Free Code Camp is free. They offer an amazing community, a full stack curriculum that constantly gets updated, and the opportunity to gain real work experience while helping nonprofits. They even have their own job postings section! I am skeptical that many tuition-charging coding bootcamps even offer as much content and opportunity as Free Code Camp does.
Finally, I would like to say that Free Code Camp is very hard. It provides a realistic overview of what it takes to become a developer. All you have to do is keep going until every challenge on the map is checked off. Have freedom to work whenever you want from wherever —imagine that. All you need for web development is the internet and a laptop. Not all jobs are remote, but if that is your preference, there are remote jobs out there for you.
Tech is where to be right now. Because there is such a high demand for web developers and so little trained developers to fill those positions, tech companies are doing an excellent job at making work like very comfortable, if not enjoyable. If you choose to work for a tech company as a web developer, you'll enjoy free food, ping pong, and rad coworkers. If you're the type that likes to work project to project on your own terms, then being a freelance web developer is for you.
Once you join the web dev community, you will find that there are plenty of opportunities for you to freelance. And, that will only increase as you become more skilled. Web development gives you the opportunity to express yourself creatively on the internet.
