13,128 PointsI was told to start a dev portfolio, but I'm lost.
I was recently told that it was time to start developing a portfolio. It's pretty easy to find suggestions on building a web design portfolio, but when it comes to web development, there's a dearth of info.
I'm working toward a career in PHP and Javascript Dev. Any suggestions on where/how to start would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time. :)

Courses Plus Student 14,384 Points+1 Sam. Was going to recommend github as well. Just FYI Jess, your github link in your treehouse profile is broken.

13,128 PointsIt should be fixed now. I'm just starting to get my feet wet with Github - I actually only have a profile at the moment because of my job - but I am working toward adding more to my account. It's a little intimidating. :3

25,519 PointsHi Jess yeah spot on, just code snippets that you can save in sublime text as solution.js or solution.php. and just upload them and add read me notes so if someone logs on they can see what you've done and download them and incorporate it into their web applications.
Hope that clears things up a little...

13,128 PointsIt definitely does, thanks!

13,128 PointsThanks for the reply Sam! I know this is going to sound a little ignorant, but what do you mean when you say upload Javascript and PHP solutions. Do you just mean common code snippets that people might find helpful?
