Frequently Asked Questions

I have zero knowledge, where do I start? ▼
Start with HTML → CSS → JavaScript. These are the building blocks of web development. Focus on understanding how websites work before diving into frameworks.
How long to become a junior developer? ▼
With consistent learning and practice, 4–8 months is realistic. This includes building a portfolio of 3-5 projects and preparing for interviews.
Do I need math or a computer science degree? ▼
No degree required! You only need basic logic and problem-solving skills. Many successful developers are self-taught through online resources.
Do I need an expensive computer? ▼
Not at all! A computer with 8GB RAM and any modern processor is sufficient for web development. You can even start with cloud-based IDEs.
Are certifications necessary? ▼
No, a strong portfolio is much more valuable than certifications. Employers care about what you can build, not what certificates you have.
