How can a coder develop?

Question

Windows

I’m not yet 18, I’ve been doing typesetting for about a year, it’s not bad, I’ve read several books, hundreds of hours of various courses / videos on YouTube, etc. In general, in a year or two I want to try to get a job as a junior. But simple layout designers (html + css + js) are unlikely to be in great demand and shortage, because there are many of them and there are also many good ones, as it seems to me. My question is, how can I develop further, perhaps towards the back-end, in order to be in demand and stand out among the gray mass of layout designers?

Answer 1

or everything freezes, the mouse moves, but nothing happens (freezes are quite frequent)

Plug in a LiveCD with Linux (on a flash drive, for example) and make sure that there is no such thing.
If there is, you can no longer torment Windows and figure out what's wrong with electronics.
For example, with this one - www.system-rescue-cd.org - you can check if there are any problems with memory (memtest) and screw (whdd).
However, if it's a video card that dies, it may not cause any problems in Lina...

Answer 2

if you really know something, then start with a portfolio ...
show what you can do and send it to 20 - 30 potential employers ... someone will respond and offer a stack that simply cannot be bypassed for them and there will be growth in terms of education and career
the same way: this question is very hackneyed like a Svema film: go to the freelansim.ru toaster section, look at the requirements for workbenches .. this will improve your understanding of what Front End is in 2017

Answer 3

Learn the front-end stack: webpack, new versions of es, axios, any framework (react, angular, vue), less preprocessors (scss), all sorts of fancy flex boxes, git. Then you can also pull up node js.
