About the Book

Book description

I wrote this eBook over a span of about 3 months, and it is the first eBook that I have ever written. My goal was to share my story of how I started out, and how I was able to take that crucial first step to become the developer I am today.

By sharing my story, I hope to help someone who is also struggling in a similar situation to rise up and begin walking and building applications, and becoming the best version of themselves they can be - but this is not a self-help book - it's just me speaking from my own perspective.

I hope you enjoy the read.

Goals

The intention of my writing this book is to help someone jump start their career as a web developer. Therefore it features:

1. My story - how I found myself as a web developer, and how I was able to begin building beautiful user interfaces and websites.

2. Imposter syndrome - I touch on how this affects developers and people as a whole, because everyone sometimes feels like an imposter in their field of work. Even Maya Angelou, who was an established author, said that sometimes she would feel the imposter syndrome creep in because "she wasn't worthy".

3. My Challenges - the challenges I have faced as a front-end web developer as well as how I overcame them.

4. How to make money as a web developer - this includes all the avenues I have tried to make money as a developer. Some worked well, and others, not so much, and we will talk about it in its own chapter.
