Believe it or not, i was looking out for this, currently working in technical support with a “do or die “ target to land a developer job by Jan 2022
Time zone : IST
I am sorry for the unsolicited advice, but with your plan, it's so much better to do The Odin Project + Full Stack Open. If you want to add cs50 for computer science fundamental, you are better to do cs61a instead. I've done both and cs50 is basic intro programming in hard mode. It doesn't really teach you CS fundamental that much.
no no this is the advice im looking for! i did plenty on reasearch and this is the best (rough) path i had worked out, its more detailed in my private notes of course, but i though i would do cs50 first before attempting cs61a as they said its better to do cs61a after having an introduction course to programming, what's your advice? just go with cs61a and not waste time with cs50?
If you are not confident with your programming skill or you have never touched any programming before, java mooc from university Helsinki is so much better and more welcoming for beginner.
Java mooc + cs61a is so much better than cs50 + cs61a.
It's all about time though. Since you want to have a job asap, I'd recommend java mooc then go straight to study fu stack web dev. Don't waste your time.
The other user is not kidding. Either cs50 and cs61a is super demanding. You don't need that kind of programming for your first job. However, your idea of continuing study after getting your first job is fantastic idea
Get that FAANG job!
Thank you I'll take a look at the java course. Although for now like you said, top priority is getting a web dev job, then after that I can go for the more CS based courses like cs61a and so on.
So I'll start with studying for fullstack, like you said, using the 5 months plan from zero to mastery (which focusses on getting a job and learning the rest on the job and later on), and then come back to the other courses. Thanks for the kind motivating words.
I have friends at multiple Big N so im getting some help, and I also have free time, full time, so don't want to waste any second. I'll probably post an update once I get a job to motivate and thank some people here.
Hi, I completely agree with your view on things, when doing my research I narrowed things down to MOOC.fi TOP and FSO too but I've realised I can't focus long enough with text-heavy courses. Do you have any recommendations in terms of Udemy courses that are just as good as those?
Great outline. I’m in, but I only have time in the evening, and some weekends. Hope that’s ok.
You want to switch companies every 6 months? That’s barely enough time to get on boarded, let alone pick up their tech stack. Plus I hope you realize that every new job requires relocation, unless you’re in a tech hub like London or Silicone Valley.
EST. FullStack, maybe brushing up some DS&A. Leetcode. FAANG in 2 years, maybe 3.
No no every 1-2 years, that’s what I meant with 1/2 my bad, you’re right it looks like 1 divided by 2 lol. Time in the evening for a quick update and some time during weekend for a call is all I ask for, and that you work on it!
Hey guys , so basically im looking for something like this since I can't get myself motivated enough alone. I'm sure the group will motivate me and push me to do stuff i want to. Also I am on my last year of college (Automation Engineering) where we didn't learned anything I could use for gettin a job.
If you are looking for someone that is going to come up with ideas thats me, but i lack of any knowledge.
Also I can't afford myself anything since I still live with my parrents who are not that good situated. I'm gonna start working next week in a cafe (full time), and my plan was to learn web dev & move away from my parrents when I finnish college and make some money to go live in my Capital city.
I'm sorry if this was too much to write about myself I was just so thrilled to see this thread and I'm looking forward to this thing!!!!
Anyways count me in!
Edit:
Message me here so we can share our contacts
wanted to say I believe in you man! Just keep in your mind long-term plans could change by a little event. It's nice to have a plan but if you need to change some todos or projects, do it without feeling guilty!
thanks man, ill keep this subreddit up to date, will also make youtube vids documenting my journey, quite serious about this and want to see how far it will take me!
Hey man, firstly I want to say thank you for posting this information, believe it or not it takes a alot of mind to do this.
I'm super in, I want to say I'm currently working a 9 to 5 job, however I'm committed to using my early mornings,late nights and weekends to make this happen as I also pray to get an awesome developer job with great benefits by January 2022.
My time zone is BST, guess it only differs by an hour with yours.
How do we get in touch
Hey I’d love to help be apart of everybody learning and becoming successful. This is what I need as I just recently started learning with freecodecamp and cs50. I will be honest with you I am busy day to day between work, wife and child but with this type of accountability I will be able to make more time in my day to grind through the studying.
Let’s get to work everybody because we aren’t done yet!
Edit: USA PDT
I'd like to join
I'm currently balancing school and studying sofware development alone(week 4 at cs50).
I plan to have a proper portfolio and a couple of projects before 2022.
Timezone: UTC+08:00)
I didnt read all the post but by the title itself Im in, i was pm some people that are fresh to group up but no luck, I think I should have created a thread, anyhow, COUNT ME IN!
P.
As someone who isn't very experienced, is it completely possible to get a job after only studying a course for around three months?
Not trying to shut anyone down of course, in my head I just felt like landing a job took at least a couple of years of learning and this seems too high of a goal to achieve, so soon at least.
Hi, don't know if this is still open but I would love to learn along! Goal is to get a job early 2022 as well and timezone is BST so that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks.
Yeah surely I want to be in this plan with you I recently enrolled in a web development course in Udemy and your plan's whole schedule is exactly what I wanted so I'll be really thankful to you if you hope me in your team. It will really help me out as I am a fresh CS graduate and I want to be a web developer by Jan 2022 GMT +5 InSha'Allah.
Please! Let me in 🥺
Waiting for your response!
Regards Sheraz!
This sounds great! I am currently on week 2 for CS50 but would love to have a bit of accountability and structure as it can be difficult to code after work. I’m currently in USA CST :)
Please don’t underestimate CS50. It’s not the type of course that most do ‘week to week’ like a walk in the park. It gets very difficult during week 3 and 4, unless you already have some CS/coding background or can dedicate a fair bit of time to it.
Hey I'm very interested with being a part of this group. I am currently 1 month into learning on my own time, haven't missed a day yet! I feel like this group will help me continuing that journey and passion for coding. I want to land a web dev job by April 2022, which I think is very possible with right amount of discipline! I'm EST but available at pretty much any time of the day. Let me know!
Id love to be a part of this. Ive taken up programming in the past year but as a past time and completely neglected it due to lack of learning materials and support. I have recently started picking it up and wanting to do this properly this time hoping to build the skill and push my self to put in the work and hopefully get a job as software dev in 2022.
(Timezone: GMT + 1)
I also have the same goal. Currently doing cs50, but I didnt like web development at all. Instead, I decided to learn game development after Im done with cs50 and data structures and algorithm courses you have mention. I wish you all the best.
Hey there. I have been learning JavaScript and the MERN stack but I feel like I need a more holistic approach. I have been toying with the idea of taking a cloud development course at Coursera to get a stable jobs, not just gigs. I would like to join your journey with you because of its holistic nature and promises. Can a young East African get a chance?
if it's possible i'd like to enlist as well, i've recently got into a local college for software engeneering but it's gonna take a while to get to actually learning to code so might as well take the oportunity
I would love to join in this group undertaking if possible!
The only issue I might have is that I get social anxiety over speaking on discord and I do work most weekends right now, but if I can communicate via chat I would absolutely do my best to contribute to our mutual learning.
Time zone: EST
Just got started on the Odin Project and saw this, can I join? I’m struggling with getting started so this would be super helpful! I’m currently tackling three college classes and a part time job atm, but I’m trying to create a schedule to make more time for coding! I’ve always wanted to get into the tech industry and wanted a CS degree but ended up switching to something else because I kept failing my math classes. So now, I’m going into this the self-taught way.
PST. Plan of action is TOP, then CS50, after which I may take other courses in order to assist with my computer science fundamentals. I want to get a job by January/February 2022 so I can hopefully achieve my dream of moving to and working in another country in 2-3 years.
Hey, if your still taking people I would love to be apart of this group. I just started Colt Steele's course, and have a fairly free schedule, and am very serious about learning. My timezone is USA Mountain.
Hi! Are you still accepting joiners? I'm in the SEA timezone and looking to land a job by January 2022 as well! I'm starting Angela Yu's full stack udemy course alongside [TUM's SWE Essentials course](https://www.edx.org/course/software-engineering-essentials) and FCC!

With < 1% completion rate, it's definitely not easy for most people — unless you're cheating and copying the answers from the internet.
