Question–: Nervous about beginning a web development career…?
I just want some advice, especially from other ppl in the web development/design field about breaking into the field. For quite a while now I have wanted to start creating functional websites and web applications but I am very nervous about it because most of the time I am just lacking confidence in my skills. I do have quite a bit of knowledge about current web technologies such as HTML, Javascript/JQuery, PHP, MySQL, and so on. I even have an associate’s degree in web and applications programming but I just feel like I havn’t learned enough or gotten enough real world experience to actually start going out into the real world and do this kind of work.
Really I think that I am just lacking confidence but hasn’t anyone else in this field felt overwhelmed by all the technologies out there and ever been afraid that they might not be able to solve a problem for a client? And is it best to just get out there and basically keep learning as you go? I just don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, so to speak.

Hi
Im a multimedia designer and along the way became a developer in Flash and some other languages. I started out as a print designer and it kinda evolved into what Im doing today.
Technology is always changing you will never be able to learn everything but this is what makes this field so exciting as well. This is a great field to be in and there is so much opportunity out there. Just remember you wont be able to everything on your own. I would suggest joining some linked in groups, I post questions often and I get some great feedback. linkedIn is also a great way to connect with a bunch of other people in your field.
Dont feel overwhelmed because you dont know everything. Infact what makes a good designer or programmer is someone who always is learning more and staying current.
good luck. Follow me on Linked, Facebook or twiiter if you would like.

There is way too much technology to understand all of it. One approach would be to only work on certain types of projects that you are comfortable with. There are also various sites, like elance, where you could pick projects and gain experience. You won’t make much money at first, but you’ll be doing it for the experience and confidence more than the money.

You will be brought into an entry level position, learning the business will be just as big a part as learning the tech skills. Most of what you learn will be in the company.

Ever heard of quote “Do what you love and you will never regret.” Look like you dont love what you’re doing thats why you dont have confident.
Answer by Richie Simpson
Hey do not worry! First of all just decide where you want to go I mean which technology you are interested in! If it is open source technology then, things will be more easy for you. But if you want to go for OOPs then, things might be tough. Listen the codes and everything is available all over the online world. So, boost up your confidence and just go for it! Thanks!
Answer by Pearl Simpson
It is not always about solving a problem, it is all about how close you are in deriving the solution. Not solving client’s problem is pretty obvious but your effort should be focused through the same. Software development is a field where trial and error is something very obvious and it works so do not worry just go for it!

web development technology–: What Web technology should I study over the winter break?
This past semester in college I learned Django and fell in love with it. This was easy to do because I was already in love with Python. Anyway, my experience with Django made me realize that really what I want to do is web development.
I was talking with my professor and I think that jQuery is really cool. I already bought a book on CSS, but its a pain to read. Do you think I need to learn CSS first, or can I learn it as I go just by doing Django and jQuery?
Also, I have really basic knowledge of Javascript. Should I perhaps master that before I jump into jQuery? What about php? I think php sucks… should I bother learning it?
So here is a list of topics that I want to study over the break:
jQuery, AJAX, Javascript, CSS, other?
Could you tell me which one I should/can learn over the Winter break? I have about 2 months of break, so take that into consideration.
Some details: Django is a web framework with an Object-Relational Mapper that bridges the gap between the data model and the database engine. That means that I chose Django because I want to avoid writing SQL. Given that, would you still recommend SQL?
The answer in the following: (Hint: For answers, no site audit.)
Answer by helpful_dude
I’ve never heard of Django, so I can’t advise you on that, but jQuery is just a library of javascript functions. You could do quite a lot with just HTML and jQuery, but I can almost guarantee you’ll need something like PHP at some point for it’s database access capabilities. There’s hardly a commercial website in existance that doesn’t do something with a database backend.
Answer by Jason S
First off, I think you learn best from a project focused solution. From my daily work that’s web-development centric, I use my skills in this order of importance: Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, JQuery, and PHP.
Java, as a top level language for web development is still common, fast and useful.
If you don’t know SQL, you will never, ever be a good web developer.
HTML is where it all begins. If you know how to construct good HTML, any templating engine will be a snap.
CSS is merely an extension of HTML that helps you control style and form separate from the contextual information. My CSS grows with use.
JavaScript is a simple scripting language with several pitfalls in it. You’ll learn from doing, and this requires projects. AJAX is a way of thinking combined with a way of writing JavaScript. It’s okay to learn AJAX as part of a Javascript learning process, but most AJAX assumes you know DOM and understand how a page is put together. JQuery contains an implementation of AJAX. It’s fairly good and well supported though I miss the days of using Prototype. PHP is a fast and dirty language I can use when my local machines and for testing connections and server functions and security with quick web delivered scripts. Xend Framework is a good way to learn good php with a pleasant smattering of Java.
I urge you, if you’re not a master of SQL, to focus on SQL first. If you know SQL, feel free to delve into a few web projects where you intermix html, css, javascript and various tools like jquery and AJAX.
Update After the Additional Details:
Let’s say you have a website you’ve developed using Jango or Hibernate or some other Database abstraction layer and you see that the columns on a table displaying data your customer wants is incorrect.
How do you:
1. Validate that the data in the database is correct?
2. Correct database errors including wrong data?
3. How do you streamline the database, clean up long queries and backup and restore data that has been overwritten in the course of the day?
SQL is more than just the language you use to make queries for the website, it’s the language you do maintenance, adhoc requests and database streamlining. You’ll find few if any web developer positions where you’re not required to be an expert in SQL, even when they use database abstraction layers for this reason.

CSS is whats used to make a website pretty eg positioning, colour, etc is all done this way,
if u want to see for urself what it does use mozilla firefox when viewing this page, click on:
View > Page Style an select No Style an see what happens
.
Personally id start with this as it can be a lot of fun.
jQuery is based on javascript it isn’t a language in itself better described as a framework.
therefore it is prudent to be fairly knowledgable about Javascript before undertaking this.
However it isn’t a requirement.
I wouldn’t attempt AJAX without first undertaking PHP.
AJAX is used to send an receive data from the server without refreshing the page
it uses a combination of three languages i.e. Javascript, XML an PHP to achieve this effect.
(XML u can quickly pick up as there’s only a few basic principles to memorise.)
But I would first lean PHP an SQL preferably in OOP style. Just to get a feel for it first.
To experiment with any of these languages download WAMP free:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
it will allow u to create an preview a website on your own local machine without having to upload or to a dedicated server.
Also when designing webpages be sure to view them in firefox not IE as firefox adheres more rigidly to web standards. In other words a site built for firefox will run in any browser including IE, whereas a site designed in IE can fail to run in other browsers.
Finally it may be a bit piracy ahem… pricey but try an get a hold of dreamweaver.
any version above 8 will do just fine.
Thank god for dreamweaver :’)
