Comment on How can an English teacher transition into web-development?

Comments

Not really a question of transitioning, but how to get a paid web developer job starting almost from zero.

Web development is a big field with lots of tools, languages, frameworks, application domains. Anecdotally a person needs to put in a few years of motivated practice to get productive. Of course that depends on the person and the project/job. I’ve been in web development since the web started and I’ve never known anyone to get to professional level in less than two years.

I wrote this several years ago. Possibly useful.

Thanks! I'm slightly busy today (reading papers) but I skimmed your link and bookmarked it. Useful! I'll definitely get back to it for a more thorough read.

Thank you again.
