Hey folks!
TL;DR: has anyone ever successfully completed this career path and actually changed careers?
I work closely with web developers and have taken an interest in learning how to become one. I have dabbled with Codecademy in the past and love the UI/UX. I started the Full Stack Engineer Career Path this week.
So far, I’ve completed the HTML and CSS fundamentals. Do I feel 100% confident? not yet. But, I’m hoping the course eventually helps me connect the dots.
Thanks!!
Hey there!
I’m also on the full-stack engineer path. I’m now at 4% now.
I aim to become an independent app developer to work for myself and create web apps and Apple apps to make a living.
Thanks for sharing! Excited you’re on the journey.
I don’t know how to tell what % i’m finished, but I’m in the “Making a Website Responsive” unit of the “web development foundations” section!
If I’m not mistaken, you can see your progression bar on your ‘My Home’ tab.
Hope all goes well for you. I love CodeAcademy thus far. It’s fun.
My cousin said they should do this for actual university or college. It costs so much lesser!
What level are you in now? I am in the second section of the full-stack engineer career path.
This is a great question. There are many technologies you can use as a full-stack engineer. These technologies usually come in stacks. So you would need different technologies for the front-end, back-end, and database. The most popular stack is the MERN stack, which stands for MongoDB (used to manage the database), Express Js (a framework for the backend), React (a framework for the frontend) and Node Js (to support the backend). However, in Codecademy, we would be using all these tools except MongoDB. PostgreSQL (another database management tool) are taught in this course. Thus, you would learn the PERN stack.
Good luck on your journey to become a full-stack engineer. Remember, it is a journey. So, one step at a time.
