Finding an Webb D. job! What's the best way?

Have you thought of starting a side business?

I pretty much started my business because I loved to code and create things on the web. I had made a few websites for friends for free, just for fun, and I just hovered around css-tricks.com and a few other sites for cool exercises to expand my skill base.

When I made myself a blog, I went through blogger at first, and I played around with the code there. It took a few years before I transitioned over to wordpress, which, I must say is the best transition I ever made on that front. It allowed for me to edit my blog posts in plain text, as well as blog with the rich text editor if I just wanted to spout off real quick. It also exposed me to some of the most beautiful semantic code that I have ever experienced. No offense to Google, but Blogger is crap in comparison. lol

Although I am not an expert (yet) I am learning, and getting closer to that goal. I currently have several contracts, including an online application. I decided to take a few of those even before I felt I was "ready" to do them. This was good--in that it definitely challenges me to learn how to do things that I have never done before, but I also think there is also the nagging temptation to just "hack" together snippets of code in stuff without actually learning the precepts behind the code.

How much longer do you have before you graduate?

Hi Marcus,

Well my recommendation is as follow:

1. Think about a small website that can be helpful or provide a solution for the local community.
2. Work on it for fun start from a basic website and keep upgrading the website alongside your learning journey.
3. DIY coding and note that you need to code neatly with comments and stuff. So in the future when you apply for a part time job you would be proudly present your work and the employer will likely check out your coding.
4. Focus on a certain area don't be a squid, specialize in one area until you fully grasp it then move on.
5. Learn what you love, do what you love and money will come after you !

Having a one awesome, neat and creative work is better than having multiple works that are not well developed and presented. By time you will have a great portfolio and a great partime job or maybe freelancing working on local, friends and family projects. Last advice keep your portfolio organized and always stored&backup in multiple locations and never stop learning.

Good luck ! Moh
