Web Developer Certifications and career roadmap.

Question

I am a novice to Information Technology and looking forward to career switching in next 6 months.
Started self learning HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript recently online and interested in Web Development entry level roles to kick start the career.

After some basic online search found that Microsoft retired MCSA: Web Applications Exam 70-480.
I would be very grateful for any guidance on suitable certifications to showcase my skills and road map to landing for interviews.

Answer 1

Hi @Vara Prasad Dalli ,
According to your description, you seem to want to be a front-end developer.

On the premise of self-study:
In my opinion, after you learn these three technologies and have a certain foundation, you can focus on learning javascript, because it is used to achieve interaction with the user, which directly affects the user experience.

And after learning basic javascript to a certain level, you can start to learn and use front-end frameworks, such as jQuery, React, Vue and Angular. You don't have to learn all of them, just choose one or two of them. You could query the current industry job requirements to make a selection, but this requires a more systematic study.

At the same time, it will be helpful to try to find some examples for reference, such as some ready-made projects in Github, simulate and learn, read related documents to understand, until you can implement page design, page interaction, data rendering and other functions based on existing needs.
And you may also need to learn how to use Photoshop. This may be only part of the learning process, and you may learn more related things or methods in the learning process. All in all, come on.

Best regards,
Xudong Peng
