Hey Trevor,Hey, all! Just thought I would keep you guys updated on my progress with my business thus far.
For starters, I used the WADM to determine that it was probably a better option for me to learn to code myself rather than outsource it. I used money and time as my two biggest factors when determining what to do and I rationalized that I'd rather learn a new skill and spend little to no money doing it than pay however much it would cost a web developer to make a website.
I just picked up a copy of "JavaScript & JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development" and I am working through chapter 1 today. So far, so good. I am, admittedly, a little overwhelmed at the moment because I just want to get this business off the ground, but I understand it is a process and I'm willing to endure what I have to to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible.
If you have any further advice for me please feel free to comment!
Thanks!
for learning how to code I recommend you checkout this thread: EXECUTION - F*ck it, i'm learning to code
As for JavaScript & jQuery
jQuery is a bit old and its not very popular lately.
Alot if not most frontend/fullstack devs have moved onto JS frameworks such as React, Vue.js, Flutter or AngularJS.
Thats not to say that jQuery isnt useful, but its not as relevant as it used to be.
That being said, jQuery is still king when it comes to having JS scripting on pages where speed is the most important metric.
If you want to know a bit more about app speed, some basics, check out this thread: Speed is what you need
I`ve been a developer for about 12 years so if you have any questions, post them here, happy to help.
