The Odin Project is an excellent resource. I’d recommend working your way through both the “paths” they have - take both the Ruby and JavaScript paths. To land a job you’ll want a thorough understanding of the back end and while Ruby doesn’t have as high of a demand anymore, I do think it’s important to build skills in more than one language to be a compelling candidate. If you don’t want to take the Ruby course, I’d recommend learning how to build a back end in C#/Java to make yourself more well rounded.
They also recently released a React course - I haven’t checked that out yet, but it’s a highly marketable skill and the rest of their curriculum is great so I’d imagine that is too.
In any case, they do a great job in teaching you how to “think like a developer” instead of just how to follow a tutorial- which should give you a good foundation for building your own portfolio. TOP played a huge role in landing my first job - but you do need to hold yourself accountable to studying every day if you want to succeed through self-studying.
This is really good advice! Thank you!
