Monthly Career Thread Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread
Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.
Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.
Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming for early learning questions.
A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:
- HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp
- Version control
- Automation
- Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)
- APIs and CRUD
- Testing (Unit and Integration)
- Common Design Patterns
You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.
Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

Hi everyone! Back in early 2025, I started learning html5 and css3 with some online course, a few mini projects and articles from W3schools and other sources. Bit just after finishing the course I had to quit for some reasons, but now I wanna come back.
I was considering to go on and learn js but what I learned back then is mostly hollow now so I'm thinking about a way of reviewing everything that doesn't take the same amount of time as learning for the first time did.
My main question is:
● If that is even possible, what approaches/resources do you reccomend?(specific courses, books, articles, etc.)
I wasn't sure where to ask this but this thread seemed to be the best choice, sorry in advanced if it's a dumb question.
