Want to learn to code from scratch in 2025 and land a job? If you're not in college or a bootcamp, this process is for you. Here's how I'd do it with just a laptop and internet.
#1 Mindset You're a problem solver, not just a coder. Google is your best friend. Believe: “There’s always a solution.” #DevMindset
#2 Pick a path: → Web Dev (best for beginners) → Mobile → AI → Data → Cybersecurity Choose what excites you. #TechCareers
For this we will take example of Web Dev Start with: ✅ HTML ✅ CSS ✅ JavaScript Later add: React, TypeScript, SQL Focus on the fundamentals first. #WebDev
#3 Learn by doing: 📍 Scrimba 📍 freeCodeCamp 📍 YouTube Start with interactive JS tutorials. #FreeResources
#4 Stick to a schedule. Try: 30 days, 1hr/day Small steps, every day. Consistency wins. #CodingChallenge
#5 Projects > tutorials. Build real things. Start simple, then get creative. Your portfolio = your new resume. #BuildInPublic
#6 Push your code to GitHub. Daily commits show effort. Learn Git (version control) early. #GitHub
#7 Deploy Host projects with Vercel. Connect GitHub → get live links. Recruiters LOVE live demos. #Deploy
#8 Make your README files shine. Include: → What it is → How it works → Live link → Tech used #README
