And how do you get better at it
The questions that arise when we start a new domain to learn are What to learn? Where to learn? How to learn? So, let us make it simple. We have laid a roadmap that would help you enhance as a beginner in the web development domain.
The first thing that comes to our mind while taking a domain is whether there a scope?
Well, we would say there are a lot of people taking web development as a career. Everything on the internet needs a website to showcase the information gathered to the user. So, you have a vast platform opened to demonstrate your skillset gained.
Decision phase:
Before getting into the learning, decide the path and destiny. There are three paths from my point of view.
· Front-End Developer:
What a user sees in the web browser is called the Front-End. Good creativity and firm knowledge in HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, ReactJs, and some prototyping IDEs
(Adobe, Figma; learn any one for prototyping) are ideal for front-end developers. It enables you to become a good UI designer. Designing from the user’s point of comfort also makes you a good UX designer.
- Backend Developer:
Analyzing the data storage structure and response time for a process is a foremost thought of a backend developer. When a user triggers a function in the UI, the process behind it is carried out here. Database and backend language is the required skill. But, you have a lot out there to pick. Based on the purpose, be precise to pick. As a beginner, you can start with the MySQL database and PHP as a backend language for your website.
- Full-Stack Developer:
As a Full-Stack Developer, firm designing and backend skills are necessary.
Let us list a few skills:
1. HTML
2. CSS (with responsive layouts)
3. JavaScript and its libraries
4. Bootstrap
5. ReactJs
6. PHP
7. NodeJs
8. Git
9. AWS/ Azure/ Google Cloud
10. Hosting
11. SQL/PostgreSQL

When you cover all these, you are good to go as a Full-Stack Developer Fresher.

Note:
Don’t practice and learn simultaneously. Instead, take notes while learning and implement them at the end. You would not lose concentration and also increases your productivity.
Implementation phase:
“Practice makes a man perfect.”
Implement your learning as much as you can. Analyze what you lag and get improved periodically. This will mould you for the next step.
Try to do many projects with a lot of creativity to master the skills that you gained.
“Make mistakes,
Correct Yourself,
Upskill ahead.”
Have great Learning!
