Learning JavaScript for the frontend is an absolute must! Learn basics of modern js and then start learning c# or java for backend. These languages are great for starting out, have a big community of tools and people which will help you immensely and not to mention tons of job opportunities.

After that you can pick up some fe library like vue.js (personally i think it’s the best most intuitive. Saying that as a react dev).

Start building out as you learn tho. Don’t wait to complete learning. A simple note taking app with a good FE and a backend with features like auth and a sql db to store data will give you much more learning than tutorials.

Thank you for answering. I understand this a lot better now.

Fuck! Now it makes sense to me. I thought it literally meant an interface. Thanks a lot for clarifying!

I don’t have much experience with setting up ci/cd stuff. But last time i tried Circle CI and it was really easy to set up and get working. I’m thinking of looking into GitHub actions soon though.

My answer is going to be a bit different but this is what worked for me. I tried many courses, reading books, trying to code etc but never quite understood data structures. I used to get bored halfway.

What worked for me is literally solving problems. I would pickup a data structure. Implement it in Java on my own with help from internet. Then i would solve 10 problems on it. Then move to next data structure. Once you have familiarity with most used data structures like stack, queue, maps, linked lists, arrays, trees, etc. then it’s time to move to algorithms like graphs, better sorting techniques, etc.

Wow. That sounds so much simpler and better. I’m in India and it’s typically 4 or 5 interview rounds here of which there’s an online test, a leetcode round, an actual coding round, a system design and a hiring manager round. Almost every company here if you exclude service based shops have copied the interview process from big tech minus the big tech pay.

Employers here are notorious for underpaying people and this is why most pay increases only happen while switching. It’s insane. But the number of people/developers here is so much that you’ve little bargaining power.
