Am I done with learning?

So, I want to become a front end web developer, and this is what I know so far:

HTML CSS Javascript (jQuery aswell) in javascript I know how to:

Travers the dom, Make slideshows, Validate forms, Reload part of a page, Make a drop down menu, customize video players and audio players, and how to filter data.

am I done with learning and can I go on to potentially get a jobb? Please note that all my learning experience is mostly NOT from treehouse.

so Probably You can figure out then what is wrong with my code http://codepen.io/tushar_13/pen/zqPQOp

It all depends on what job requires. Some of the front end jobs I've interviewed for are asking for bootstrap, LESS, SASS and grid based layouts. Others want PHP, Drupal, Wordpress, react.js, etc. The key to it all is you never stop learning. :) Once a developer stops learning, your skills will get old real fast. I know from experience, hence why I am updating my skills at treehouse.

With all that said, look for job postings that align with your skills and go for it. But make sure you know your stuff. A lot of companies I've gone to give timed coding tests, and they tend to want to see coding samples/portfolio.

There is an error in your .each function. Please post this as a new question.

Thanks

Hi thank you so so much for the advice, I know a little bit of bootstrap and some understanding of sass. I will try to keep up to date and learn as much as possible. Also is Ruby On Rails a good thing to learn? Anyway thanks a lot for your help! :)

Most companies that mention Ruby like for me to have knowledge of Ruby, but not advanced skills.

Depends. Do you have a portfolio? If you want a job you will want one. If you don't, find a site to make, even if it is for a company that doesn't exist (You invent it, including branding). This will show what you are able to do without following a teacher or book. This gives you the opportunity to use documentation, Q&A sites like Stack Overflow, and learn new things on your own.

As might see from the last sentence, you don't stop learning. What I mean by that is you learn something, you keep up to date on the technology to do that thing.

Also, do you do design work, development, or both?

@LaToya Legemah I fixed my each function, head over to the link below
