The coder is right. I also have my opinion on it because it also depends on what "You" want to achieve in the tech industry. Do you want to master front end, back end or just do data base. Don't focus on everything because that will not only stagnant your progress, but give you a headache from hell😂. Pick an area your interested in and religiously study it and "Always" ask questions! Don't ever feel embarrassed to ask brother. Like my mentors have told me (I'm sure you've heard it as well) " the only stupid questions are the ones not asked. Even vet coders/programmers ask as many questions as they can simply because not one person has the answer to your problem but we can all try and help. I wish you good luck on your journey brother😊.

Not really. To get a junior position you have to showcase at least a viable project. It doesn't have to be very sophisticated but has to show your coding abilities and possibly algorithmic thinking.

It depends. Sometimes, ICT consulting companies offer job-stages to young guys with practically no coding experience. They might ask just a study title. For the first months at least, this could be a win-to-win situation: it's convenient for the firm that hires you, since it allows to pay you less than a skilled pro. On the other side, it can be an occasion for you to make practice and train yourself directly on the job.

if are looking to go that route you might be able to find a internship/apprenticeship and go from there.

Found it strange for the best answer to have 0 votes. I had to change that by adding an least 1👍

It is better to think to your learning before a job because to become a good coder, programmer... to work somewhere, you suppose to make a lot of practice, 2 or 3 hours daily.

That's tough ...But if u have a good amount of experience in that part and if you are expert among those basic languages maybe there may be a small ray of hope ..Otherwise it's quite difficult ...They just check your creativity in program and logics of algorithm..They just want your concepts to be clear so you can perform any task they give to you !!!!

You can just able to understand the code structure if you complete only the basic part of programming language. To work using any programming language you have to practice a lot and also you have to try solve the problems. :)

all of course depends on IT job market, but sometimes you can start on different position (like me- ERP consultant), and get promoted to coder when you gain some practical experience

know your market (where you wanna live). Some cities and regions have use for some languages and not so much for others. In SD the push for Ruby isnt here..but in SF its cooking..learn what the market you plan to live by is in demand for.
