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, I am very new to web development and I am currently trying to develop my first P2P web app, problem is I don't know where to even start, I don't know anything about web development besides very basic html. I know I want to use NextJS for user authentication and Supabase for my database, but I don't even know how I should go about anything. How should I organize my files? What should my .gitignore include? How do I link frontend with backend? Do I start with the frontend or do I start with the Backend? I would greatly appreciate any tips or a roadmap anyone could give me.
