Hahaha! Nice👍🏻👍🏻
I have been doing CSS for years and not many have truly mastered it including me! I think for web designer html and css mastery is a huge boost.
I agree, just remember Css, is art, images, adjusting all of that into, web sites and App. It is a hit and miss, that is wht the book says. So, start studying that hit and miss. I'am right after you!
I am very good at html and css but I am unable to find jobs only for html and css ... recuriters are asking front end frameworks 😶
Hey man, really enjoying your vids. Im a 30 yr old about to graduate with an AAS in Software Development and I appreciate what you've done here thanks
Great to hear! I really considered going for a AAS but it wasn't ideal for me at the time. I hope things go well for you in the job hunt, feel free to join my discord if you have any questions that I can help you with, I try to answer whenever I have time. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video. Please make sure to like, subscribe, share and leave a comment!
You are so genuine and likeable. I am really enjoying your content!
Thank you very much I really appreciate you saying that!
I agree
you wholesome and real bro. really rare nowadays. keep up the great vids.
In some ways, it makes sense to teach yourself an "easier" language and start with HTML, CSS, or Python because you can actually learn them faster. You could spend a year trying to learn C++, but it's going to be a lot harder to compete with people for a junior developer position because being proficient in those languages just takes more time.
bro, just subscribed today. I appreciate your resolve.
Great job! Super inspiring and helpful as I’m also in the midst of my journey!
Hey sorry for the really late response but I hope that everything is going well for you as you're learning to code and thanks for the sub!
Just found this channel, loving it so far
Thanks, glad to hear that you're enjoying it!
I watch your videos, and it gives me a little hope and pinch of motivation, thanks.
Very insightful and honest. Thank you. It’s been four months, I love css and I’m currently looking for some freelance opportunity.
Hey bro who’s it going with you had you get a job or be a successful freelancer? Hope that you doing well❤
Thank You!!! Your opinion are the reality!
This is the first video I came across with no dislikes...that has to be some kind of achievement.
I disliked cause u
@@BussyBoiGaming You're terrible LOL!!!

like your video. What I learned from which is to be good at one thing as well as enjoy it when it comes to coding skills. thank you Dorian!
0 dislikes after almost a year. Awesome video.
Why you gotta jinx it bro lol

You have been an inspiration for me. Thanks
Wow ! from 17 to 130k subscribers. kudos🙂
Thanks Dorian. This is refreshing!
Thanks for the motivation :)
That's how I am with JS. Each time I try to move on to something like php, NodeJs, etc. and I just get really frustrated with having to figure out the environment and installation stuff. I just end up going back to JS and trying to figure out new things through vanilla JS.
I'm glad to hear this, though, because I have been working on my CSS lately picking up Grid and learning to make my code more presentable and viewable on different sized screens.
Stick with vanilla JS until you feel comfortable and then learn some ES6 syntax once you got that pick up a frontend framework or focus on Node if you want to learn backend server side programming. That way you only need to learn javascript and that will set you up real nice!
@@DorianDevelops I thought ES6 was included in vanilla JS. They include that in the Sololearn site now. (Sololearn also includes a bunch of new topics from jQuery, React/Redux, Angular/NestJs, C++, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc. ....) I can use classes/methods, ES6 variables, loops and objects. Probably won't get into modules and destructuring until my third version of the browser game. I seen that FCC has a good amount of material on those subjects. And a lot on the data side, too. I have a basic understanding of jQuery, but I will look the React and Redux stuff on FCC. That really turned out to be the perfect find for me. Exactly what I needed at this stage. Thx again for the recommendation.
@@jackietate4047 In many cases es6 is going to be considered vanilla but sometimes vanilla js can mean older js non es6 without arrow functions, const, let, template literals, etc. If you're already familiar with es6 and from what you're saying you've studied, you might be better off jumping right into the projects on FCC and try to start building some of those that FCC has. Honestly go down their list and you should be good to go. Side note if you plan on building projects you should learn git and create a github or gitlab account to commit your code and build up your github/gitlab account with the projects you're working on because employers will look at that along with your portfolio.
@@DorianDevelops I tried GitHub when I first started and it was really confusing. I will try it again now that I have some experience with messing with IDEs and stuff. Because, that is my main focus right now (my project).
My goal for the project wasn't really to get a job, but to use it for a college application. I am trying to teach myself programming, but I intend to go to college for law. I probably won't be able to get a good job as a lawyer and maybe not even be able to make it past the Barr because of my criminal record. So, I came up with the idea of learning web development so that I can bypass both and work by running a legal resource website designed to help people represent themselves pro se.
Dorian, check out the field instructional design. You might like that as well.
Please keep making more videos. I've watched all of them. Really motivational!
I`m self teaching myself web development. I have a job working overnight which I don't like it and neither my wife . I'm 28yrs. So development it`s the only way I can get a job with a good pay, benefits and it`s not hard labor.
Right now, I`m struggling with javascript. I guess I will go back to html and css and master those skills first. i`m only 3 months studying. But I can't wait to get a job, so maybe that's the reason I`m rushing to learn everything at once. Gonna take a step back and go back to the basics. Thanks for all the info!
Your situation sounds very similar to how my situation was and trust me, just stick with it. Take your time and don't rush things, instead set yourself up to make getting your first job easier.
If you haven't created anything on your own yet and your goal is to get a job as a web dev start with a portfolio. Doesn't matter if you don't have anything to add to it as far as work goes, just build a basic portfolio. Once you have a basic portfolio start building things or working on projects and add them to your portfolio, your portfolio will grow as you grow. This will help you once you're ready to start applying for jobs.
Here's some good projects for building basic html and css skills that are free www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/responsive-web-design-projects/
Good Luck!
@@DorianDevelops Thank you so much for the reply. I will definitely dedicate some time now on freecodecamp, everybody on the internet talks about it all the time. Must be really good. I need some project based learning instead of just tutorials. Once more, thank you very much!
@Alek Wolf it's going great! I got my job 7 months ago, and I couldn't be happier!!!
@@lucianowebdev8686 congratulations 👏!
@@lucianowebdev8686 SUPER CONGRATULATIONS !!
Due to pure ignorance, I started with JavaScript and went deep into it. Almost finished the full JavaScript course + projects on the course I am doing and am quite looking forward to HTML and css as they seem a lot more intuitive than js.
thanks bro for this video
Man. This is so discouraging in the sense that I'm a journeyman, union electrician, and what we are paid in Pittsburgh is about $80k. The hoops I go through to make such a wage...
But this is encouraging in the sense that this only reinforces my decision to do whatever it takes to get into the programming field.
So what about the job that you ended up taking instead and moving states for, what programming languages were needed there?Besides the html and css that you were already so strong at?
flex box and grid is kicking my ass right now i just need to sit and read and understand it now
I always reference these two css tricks articles when working with the two of those. Should help you better understand what they do. Good luck!
Flexbox: css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
Grid: css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/
@@DorianDevelops thank you! I'm about to breakdown code for each div to understand how and why it was used the way it was(coaching background). I'll try this out tonight.
@@DorianDevelops Also flexbox zombies is really great for learning flexbox.
Thank you
thank you Johnny
I'm a little late for this video but I'm so glad that i found this as I'm on the pursuit of becoming a web developer. it was relatable for me when you said you kind of zoned out while learning programming and used to go back to HTML and CSS I'm doing the same now. but now i think i will start applying for job as im good with HTML and CSS and learn the rest eventually. thank you for providing such a no bullshit content like you always do.
i appreciate this cause im exactly at this Stage, Im with Freecode Camp
Nice and helpful information. I learned CSS, HTML and just added basic Python. I am not, by any means, near the skill level I expect to be but am wondering if that's enough to get my foot in the door for any company? I am determined and focused and most importantly, I love learning. Any advice would be helpful, anyone reading this comment and would like to help, please feel free.
Thanks
Let me tell you something , 90% of the things you see on job descriptions and requirements are exaggerations of what the actually job situation entails , my first “web developer” position was literally copying and pasting html code with minor css edits (no custom written css from scratch), start applying and if you get rejected , it’s completely fine, you get an idea of where you currently are and what you’re missing to get the positions you want
@@matthewangel5003 thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question. That information is something I can work with. I appreciate it and I wish you much success!
@@fernandodelatorre2425 I've heard this from someone with a lot of experience in IT with a maths degree who is moving into data science - a full on programmer . He says the requirements for a job -very few people meet them and those that get the job often don't meet the requirements.
@@matthewangel5003 ya but what about the tests that everyone makes you take?
Hi @DorianDevelops do you have a link to your old portfolio I just want to see the kinds of projects you had in your portfolio
Hello sir, I am a 2nd yr student in engineering , and learning c programming ,basic stage, and I am feeling confused and stagnant and I am from middle class family, and I do prefer self taught only, and I need job now, so what is the language would u prefer, so that I can make money along with learning code, so that it will be helpful, I am not getting anywhere with college exams and semesters just caught up with confusion please can u suggest anything sir
Thank you a lot for the video. I’ve been getting interviews but I get ghosted. Is there any recommendations? I feel like I’m losing my motivation. I did an interview yesterday for a volunteer from end position. Do you recommend m me getting it if they hire me? I dropped out of college, and that’s where I feel my weakness at. Love the quality of your vids tho
I did a volunteer dev job for a little while when I was first starting out. Just make sure to not get taken advantage of, and drop it if it's not helping you with what you want to learn.
Remember with volunteer work and unpaid internships many times it's cheap companies looking to get free labor.
If I had to do it all over again I would focus on 1. building my own projects, 2. contribute to open source projects, or 3. freelance work.
Also with the interviews don't sweat them too much just keep working on your portfolio and resume and keep applying.
I dropped out of high school at 9th grade and have a GED.
You can do it!
@@DorianDevelops thank you for your response, the reason why i will take the volunteer job is because that I haven't been able to land a job. I did a few on-site interviews, but they keep telling me that they go with someone who has real work experience. Honestly i almost lost my motivation on getting a job, even though I think i'm an okay front end developer.
Thank you so much for your content.
I know it's hard but whatever you do, do not give up. If you're getting interviews, that's better than a lot of people who don't even get a phone call.
Take the volunteer job but don't let it get in the way of your progress. Make sure it benefits YOU and do not get taken advantage of.
I was in you shoes once, second guessing if development was even for me, doubting if I'd ever get a job, thinking I would need to go back to school and feeling like all the months I spent teaching myself was a waste of time.
Just push through it, trust me. You'd hate to quit when you're this close.
Once covid-19 is over you should check for a developer meet up in your area. It's good to surround yourself with like minded individuals who have experience in what you're doing.
You got this!
Great video,
I'm wondering, I know HTML5 CSS3 BOOTSTRAP JQUREY JS, with these can i call myself Front-end Developer? and can I got a job with these skills? Thanks Dorian!
Hey man! I have learned python upto oop and learning html and css. Is this enough to get an internship with a reasonable salary. Please give me some tips
Watching the video just in time :) I just got an interview for an Email Designer/Developer position. Which course or tutorials would you recommend for learning e-mail design?
I'm really not sure to be honest because I didn't take the email designer job. I took a different job. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help to you.
Search for codingphase email developer course on google, he has courses based on email development
You need to invest in a key light. Ring lights are cheap byw.
GOOD!😀
Could U pls tell me how many days a week you work and how many hours? thx
An entry-level HTML and CSS job will allow you time to learn JavaScript while earning money. But Learning JavaScript for those things that cannot be implemented with CSS will be beneficial.
Lot people would prefer to know the major project which can fetch them
For to me I love everything in programing except html and css it's really hard
Where you got job after learning HTML css
I’m 17 learning CSS, HTML and JS, I never got my maths gcse so I have to do 3 years of college and then go to uni for how many more years. Is it worth going through it all or teaching myself and join my girlfriends dad business?
I’ve always been interested in learning code. I wanted to learn Python but I don’t have the mathematical background, so HTML seems like a great starting point for coding along with CSS. At the age of 38, I feel like I’m too old and it will take me another 2-3 years to learn. Plus the job market will choose a younger developer with a college degree than a self-taught developer 😩😔
Never say your age in your resume,if u apply a job in the US they cannot ask you directly your religion,age,marriage and the things like that.They can play games with the tricky questions tho,but just because of the age thing don't get unmotivated.
Never stop believing yourself man,we hope that you are going to make it too.
Good vibes. 💯🙏
@@alirzasahin8796 Thank you! We have to keep working hard at the things we love to hopefully land a career or create our own business one day. I appreciate the comment.
you don't need a mathematical background to learn python or any other programing language believe me if you know 1+1 you can learn any PL
you will need math in IA if you are interested in this domain you gonna need math if not don't worry
I think html and css is a good ego boost when JS kicks your ass it's good to run back to something that makes you feel good.
I am now 5 months learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I am having a really hard time mastering CSS-flexbox and grid and other things about CSS. Every time I create my page layout and try to create a clone of a website, I could never get it too align properly similar to the website page I am trying to copy. My layout is not properly aligned similarly to the site. I am unable to clone the exact side boxes of the page and I don't know many things like creating shadows under the object of the button or the hover state of the button either. what is your technique for getting really good with CSS? Were there sites you found which were helpful? Did you try to clone a website to improve your skills? Did you make small components of a web page? Any experience you could share would be valuable, I know I am asking a mouth full, but CSS is really frustrating, and I am getting frustrated trying to learn it. I am finding JavaScript a little easier to learn versus CSS, thanks buddy for listening to my long rant.
It's hard. You'll get better. Google everything and just keep building stuff. I still use these when I need to reference flex and grid stuff css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/
I'm just 25days. And I'm also having issues learning css flexbox and grid.
@@warpeace8978 Well I am getting a little bit better. I think in my case I don't know about your situation. I eventually found out by using the Odin Project that I never learned something called Position. Position helps you to align your box object properly on the browser. Also, I realized too that I was learning flex box and grid at the same time which made things much harder for learning how to size up your box models along side the page. Also, different elements behave differently. For example inline elements behave differently from blocked items. Also, by default the page is automatically displayed as blocked or you can also say static.
Look up Position and flex box will make your life much easier and don't worry about tables and floats, they are still used but have been replaced by things like flex box and position. I bought an outdated book and learned those things first which I never had to, but it is still good to know. Hope this helps. I am still struggling but within a month I think I improved a lot because I work on it everyday and I still do along side JavaScript now. Wish you the best man.
@@DevlogBill @WarPeace check out Jonas Schmedtmann's course on Udemy. Helped me after crashing on Angela Yu's bullshit with this 100 days bootcamp
@@user-hx1lp6fc9r Just so your reply, thank you I will check this out. I appreciate the feedback.
Not expecting to make $80K for html and css but Do u know what is the average pay for an entry level guy that only does html and css? (Don’t know if I’ll ever get JavaScript)🤦🏿♂️
i doo want ur help in focusing and becoming a UI Developer as like you.
Wow. First honest programmer who talks the truth about being self taught. For anyone who really wants to program, get a 4 year college degree! Best way! Look at Western Governor's University! SUPER CHEAP and totally accredited!
Wanna get out from the economic pit,as it is a hurdle in the way for getting anything that I wanna go through and get enhanced..!!
I am currently studying in 7th grade and my school had started Introducing html to children from grade 5th, I got into that school in 6th grade and was surprised to see that they teach html bc most schools in my country dont do it, after my first class I knew that I was gonna like html since it rlly was fun! I know a little bit of basic css but I hope that I can be better at it, you video rlly helped me boost my confidence of learning html and css in the future, because I thought html and css would not be enough in the future to get a job and stuff. Anyways thanks and good video 👍👍

Dorian, how are you doing? I got a question about SASS, is SASS like bootstrap or tailwind? Also, when should I begin learning SASS? I already know HTML very well, I know CSS flexbox decently. I know a decent amount of flexbox and position. and I am great at little things like creating your own variables with :root {} and small things like background-color: color: font-family; font-size; CSS:opacity {} and some other minor things like class and ID. I think I am decent at these things so far but I know I got more to learn. I don't know @media Query let and I don't know animations and I kind of suck at responsive design. Should I learn SASS or maybe tailwind now? or should I master those things which I've mentioned I either don't know or am weak at? What is your recommendation, thanks Dorian!
In my learning, I realized that its better to learn CSS, creating your own templates etc. Afterwards, moving to Tailwind and Boostrap will becoming much much easier to be honest.
@@blasiomuhinda5913 old post. Got decent with the css. But I am primarily focused on backend so I am not too concerned with CSS now, but thank you.
Why do most videos suggest Wordpress but not VS code? Is wordpress more in use/better? Anyway we can view your portfolio?
WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) VS code is a text editor. Those are two VERY different things..
