I'm also a music producer, but I started learning frontend development from scratch at the beginning of last year. I landed my first freelance job yesterday, and in a few weeks, I have an interview for a full-time position as an Angular developer.
I’m going a somewhat different path. I’ve been self taught for 8-9 months and recently I’ve felt lost and lacked direction. Then I looked into my local community college which I previously graduated from in a completely different degree and they recently opened an IT building. I’m going back to cc to complete an it associates with a programming concentration so I can get more firm direction while working extensively on the side on my self taught journey which is building my portfolio. I am well ahead of the game already and this video pushed me further as recently I kept bouncing from going for cs degree or bootcamp which both can be great but I don’t want to fork out all of that money and University is just too much time lost for potentially not much of a gain given my experience. Granted I have a lot and I mean a lot to learn but I have the discipline to stick to self taught but this associates will be short, very little cost and I can get some better direction while simultaneously building my portfolio. I’m so excited and this video reaffirmed my plan. Thank you!
That's a subscribe my guy. Was doing music also... but before I graduated, right during March-April 2020 upon my graduation... i had a remote graduation... couldn't even start my career and everything I learnt in the past 3 years. Here I am now coding and learning continually. Your story gives me hope. It's inspirational and realistic. THANK YOU! You're doing good! Keep going Dylan!! 🙏🏽💯🚀
Wow I could relate a lot to this one, as I went from real estate to a self-taught dev.. quality of life was definitely a huge motivation to succeed. Great story!
I was just getting ready to ask you about LinkedIn when you mentioned to keep it updated. Social media makes me straight up miserable. I had an account when LinkedIn was new and got rid of it. I was hoping to gain tech entry without it but one program I signed up for required an account. I'm hearing all this about networking on there and I feel very much like it's selling my soul. Not to mention, people I thought I was cool with, won't add me. And industry gatekeepers say you need a lot of connections to "appear" hireable. I like how down to Earth and relatable your career switch sounds though. Makes me feel like I can do it. Trying to get the hang of this JavaScript and React stuff at the moment.
Bro this was the inspiration I needed today. Also a musician in SoCal, just started freeCodeCamp, and hoping to follow in your footsteps to get a job that allows me the time to work on my passion as well.
I don't know why, but music production prepared me for coding , stay hour on a daw and learn is not that different than studyng coding, so now it feel so natural
Nice! I started teaching myself before the pandemic and I got a job working at walmart after about 2 years but Iost the job after 6 months because they wanted me to move to LA. I'm back in square one. Lol. 4 year in.
I studied programming 30 years ago but never did anything with my certificate. I've been studying C# off and on, (mostly off) for a while now. I know I can get proficient with C# but, the lack of self-confidence lies in being able to actually make money at it.
Fantastic story. Keep going. I have a question. But before asking the question, I would like to explain my situation to you. So, I decided to drop out of university (CS Degree) as I felt like this was wasting my time. I am 100% free 24/7. I like web dev. So, I want to become a web dev. I have finished HTML, CSS, and learning Javascript now. Few things to keep in mind: Remember that I can't get a physical job due to my personal/family issues. So, I can only work from home. I like time/location freedom. Also, my family is supporting me financially as long as I want. I am just 19 years old so I have crazy time on my hands. Now the main question: After learning web dev for some time should I do freelancing first and then settle down to a full-time job (remote)? Or should I aim for a full-time job directly (remote)? I know that I have made a lot of mess in here, but please don't mind that. Any kind of guidance/help would be appreciated. Have a great day.
Is there a video where you outline how your skills develop AFTER you started working in tech? Or were you doing mostly the same things and just new job opportunities came about?
Appreciate the video! I'm a few months into my self-taught programming route. I've learned some of c, some of c++, and then most of html and css. Are you saying you got a job with just html css and javascript?
That's awesome! And yeah, I've gotten multiple jobs with a knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS. It sort of just depends on the companies and roles you're applying to.
This is the course that I took: www.freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/responsive-web-design/ I highly recommend it. And yeah, extra projects = great idea. It's a good way to solidify what you learn in the course(s).
Hey Dylan love your dedication towards content.. but your Thumbnails are not that appealing..i can send you a few redesigned thumbnails for your channel let me know if it sounds good !
Hello there, greetings from Finland 😎🫡🇫🇮 Im also started learning web development on my own for couple of months now and got 2 courses from Udemy pretty cheap on sale Planning to switch jobs from this ** grocery store job which is a dead end... Currently just am doing the little "pig game project" (from the JavaScript course by Jonas Schmedtmann I think) and after that i think I could start to implement these techniques to my own projects... 😎🥸 Your success has given me little more motivation. Gongratulations again ! 👍👍👌🙂
Hey Dylan, loved your content. I have also started learning to code. I started with HTML, now learning CSS on my own plus I'm learning Python at University as I'm a CS student in Pakistan. Also, I subscribed and followed you on Insta. Hoping to get career advice from you. :)
Thank you for your kind words and thank you thank you thank you for the support! I hope to give you as much of my knowledge, skills, and advice as I can. It's great to hear that you're learning all these technologies. All amazing skills to have.

thanks man, currently learning html css and bootstrap after I finish those courses im gonna practice javascript and reactjs.
Hows the journey men?
Dude you're a life saver. Well done.
Great testimony
Everytime I feel like I'm getting nowhere, videos like this are a reminder of how far I've come
Thanks for sharing
True
I have been a lazy bum. I need to really apply this. Who's with me?
Same here. I started 3 months ago. Looking for another 6-7 months of learning and landing my first Front-End developer position
How goes it now?
Great story, happy for you! thank you for sharing

LinkedIn is a great tool but shouldn't be relied on. Always great to keep it updated though. And thanks :) I try to keep it real!
Bro this was the inspiration I needed today. Also a musician in SoCal, just started freeCodeCamp, and hoping to follow in your footsteps to get a job that allows me the time to work on my passion as well.
This is literally so good 😊
Very inspiring! I'm gonna adopt that motto...Persistence trumps talent every single time!
This was really inspiring ❤
This is a great video, so many I’ve seen are repetitive, all over the place and vague. This is detailed well and stays on point.
I don't know why, but music production prepared me for coding , stay hour on a daw and learn is not that different than studyng coding, so now it feel so natural
Same. Played in metal bands, got really good at guitar end editing, and I feel like studying programming is the same
I love this story. I have been saying I want to jump into this field and this is my sign
Yea, you got it from the very beginning. Everything is free already.
Congrats bro
Great motivational video Dylan! I am starting the journey as a full-stack developer and will definitely check the Udemy resources you suggested.
"Presistence triumphs over talent", uh? Gotta repeat it myself every day from now on.
Good to see you! And that's right. I still do...
Thank you for this! It's sooo encouraging😭
Nice! I started teaching myself before the pandemic and I got a job working at walmart after about 2 years but Iost the job after 6 months because they wanted me to move to LA. I'm back in square one. Lol. 4 year in.
Thank you for sharing your story!
I understand your pain for commute. I was doing 3 hours when I first enter the workforce and its detrimental to your health.
I studied programming 30 years ago but never did anything with my certificate. I've been studying C# off and on, (mostly off) for a while now. I know I can get proficient with C# but, the lack of self-confidence lies in being able to actually make money at it.
Thanks bro 👍 you really inspired me 👊💪
great story! thanks for sharing
Fantastic story. Keep going.
I have a question.

Now the main question:
After learning web dev for some time should I do freelancing first and then settle down to a full-time job (remote)? Or should I aim for a full-time job directly (remote)?
I know that I have made a lot of mess in here, but please don't mind that.
Any kind of guidance/help would be appreciated.
Have a great day.
Thanks for this video 🙏
Can you make a video teaching the pomodoro technique in depth?? Thanks for these videos!
Nice one, good luck amigo
Good video man!
Dope story!
Needed this rn
Is there a video where you outline how your skills develop AFTER you started working in tech? Or were you doing mostly the same things and just new job opportunities came about?
Persistence Triumphs Talent!! Unless your in the music industry! lol
hi brother, which course did you took at freecodecamp?did you complete everything in the learn section?
Appreciate the video! I'm a few months into my self-taught programming route. I've learned some of c, some of c++, and then most of html and css. Are you saying you got a job with just html css and javascript?
That's awesome! And yeah, I've gotten multiple jobs with a knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JS. It sort of just depends on the companies and roles you're applying to.
@@dylancole314 That's so encouraging! Did you put the websites you built on your resume as projects to show employers?
@@ebengardner2429 That I did! I actually just filmed a video about this - it'll be out soon so keep an eye out.
@@dylancole314 will do! Subscribed (:
Where did you start freelancing , how was your first payment ?
How about now? Still employed?
But how much does your current job pay????
Why don't all video creators reveal which Udemy courses they took?
Hey Dylan, how old are you at the first job as a programmer ?
I need to find a way to make money so I can buy this course
Great
What do you recommend when learning from FCC. Should i do extra projects when learn from them
This is the course that I took:
www.freecodecamp.org/learn/2022/responsive-web-design/
I highly recommend it. And yeah, extra projects = great idea. It's a good way to solidify what you learn in the course(s).
i can not find your linkedin profile
seems like a lot of self taught guys learned in 2020 after covid began
Great video
Promo SM 💃
Hey Dylan love your dedication towards content.. but your Thumbnails are not that appealing..i can send you a few redesigned thumbnails for your channel let me know if it sounds good !
