My boss just agreed to me doing another year on Codecademy Pro!
In my first year, alongside a full time job managing a website and doing comms, I completed exactly half the web development path (stopped somewhere in intermediate javascript) and then the php course. As a result, I’m able to make helpful little changes to the big complex website I manage (mostly css, so far) and try out my own little projects. Honestly, a few minutes of Codecademy every day has been the thing that’s got me through working from home. I’m really excited to be back after a few weeks without it!
Over the next year we’re looking at a developing a custom app for our charity. I don’t know yet whether I could develop the skills to do some or all of this myself, or whether that makes sense.
I know the courses and career paths shuffled a bit recently, but my web development course still seems to be there. I’m wondering whether to carry on with that, or whether I should look at something more focussed, if my goal is to get a sense of what designing a mobile app from scratch would look like. I’d love to hear suggestions if you have them!
