Where to start? Help me I'm lost. ( want to become a professional)

Hi guys!

I know my title sounds fuzzy :P But :( .. I have planned to earn little bit money but I dont know exacly where to start to study in treehouse.

I need a propher plan. I want to do with web-thing because I see many costumers are seeking good developer in web.

I planned to start with treehouse course Design but I think im doing wrong way, or?

Im getting "tired" because I see some developer can HTML ->CSS -> PHP -> extrem good in Design. Then some people says that I need to know well in GUI (??) .

I felt really confused, jealous, lost and sad. Some people tells me to study first JavaScript then some say to start JAVA then HTML then Andriod like WTH :( Where shall I start and end correctly? I felt Im studying in treehouse little by little salt and pepper like that!!!!

Please tell me where shall I actually start to study in treehouse course (STEP BY STEP) first then last and some tips how to be more pro :(

I want a job soon :( ....................... I feel no hope..

PLEASE (.____.)/

peace.

Go to tracks: https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks

Choose "front end web development"

Then it'll give you the course guide step by step from HTML to CSS to Javascipt.

First of all don't lose hope. Make sure which area you like to specialize in Desktop App, Android App, IOS App, Front End Web Development or Back End Web Development. If you are interested in web, I suggest your should follow front end or a back end track such as PHP. There are tracks in treehouse for each field, they begin from very basic. They will take you in the necessary order. If you don't understand anything feel free to ask the treehouse amazing community. I find the community very useful.

I guess this video will help you to make a decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5qpS_D8Law

All the best Have a great career.

Hi Munasinghe!

There is no specific answer on where to start, every developer is going to have a different opinion because everyone started different. The main thing is to just start coding and making things! The best foundation for that may be the "Front end web development" track which will teach you the techniques and fundamentals to designing a basic webpage. But the main thing to remember is once you start practicing, and taking more courses, you will find that you need to and want to learn more so that you can expand your knowledge and keep building on projects!

Hopefully this answers your question! - Reggie :)

Treehouse has learning tracks, that outline courses in a particular order. What do you want to do? How familiar are you with web development or android development? What educational background do you have? What are you good at? If you want advice, it would be helpful to have a little more detail about your skill level.
