What project can you guys suggest for me after learning HTML5?

Question

I'm midway in HTML5 and about to finish. what project can i do to use the knowledge i gained?

Answer 1

Create a website? :) There is much else you need to learn to create modern websites, such as CSS, JS, jQuery, PHP and SQL. However, you can create a basic website using just HTML, so I'd start with that.

So create a basic homepage with a form on it and include the various types of options (text box, radio buttons, etc..) so you can practice the various elements. Add in some pictures and anchors (<a>) to other sites. etc...

That'll give you good enough practice with HTML. You'll want to get started on the other stuff I mentioned soon after though.

Fata1 Err0r Thank you for the response. i appreciate it. I'm in my first year of college as an computer engineer and I'm teaching myself right now in advance so i can be ahead of everyone at class. I only started this week though. I don't have a laptop or computer to code. I only have my phone. lucky enough i stumbled upon sololearn. I'm very happy :)

You're more than welcome bro. That's excellent that you're working ahead so that you stay ahead! That's smart thinking and will take you far. Do they give you any type of refund at school or any type of funding so that you can invest in a cheap computer to use? That'll help you out greatly with what you're doing.

Either way, best of luck to you bro! Hope it's a smooth ride to the finish line.

Gotcha. I hope that works out for you then with the laptop. I've never done programming from my phone, but considering I can type 110+ wpm on the computer, I doubt my fingers could do that on my phone. lol Either way, do whatever you have to do, even if it's your phone. All of this will pay off greatly for you later if you stay consistent and determined.

Also, you're not asking anything too soon; it's better to plan in advance so that you know what direction/destination you're trying to reach. It's a lot easier to get somewhere when we know where we want to go and can envision how we'll get ourselves there. Success isn't an accident; it's a well beaten path.

I haven't ever worked in other countries, so it's hard for me to provide you with an unbias opinion. Since I live in the USA, I'd recommend that you come here and live/work with us. We're always in high demand for anything IT related and the pay scale here is really good in most area (especially in metro/city areas). I live in the Atlanta, GA area and the pay here is really nice, and the cost of living is pretty low compared to most other states or metro areas.

I know that India went into a big boom in their technology sector, so I'm sure there is plenty of work there as well. However, from my understanding, their market was also flooded with people in that field because of the boom, so I don't know to what extent there is demand and I don't know how their payscale was affected due to an influx in professionals.

Sounds good! Never stop progressing. Make it your goal to become a better version of yourself each and every day of your life, even if it's simply learning one new thing or losing one thing that no longer serves your life. If you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards; there is no place for stagnation in the Universe that's always moving.

Currently, I work for a telecommunications company here in Atlanta doing various things, such as workforce analytics, business intelligence, software development, and automation. However, I'm currently in the process of fully transitioning over to game development and hope to spend the rest of my years focused on my gaming company instead. I've no regrets about anythings I've done so far, as I've learned so much from sticking my hands in everything, including what I don't enjoy or what I enjoy that I never would have imagined. Never be afraid to try things out and see where it leads you. As they say, "it is safer to search in the maze than remain in a cheese-less situation." Basically, when you realize that what you're doing has seen its season and has ended, don't wait around hoping that it'll become more when you could already be seeking what's better for you. It's better to go look for it than hope that it comes to you in your current situation. Some people wait around their whole lives waiting for things to come to them when they could have pursued it instead. The seeker always finds.

As for hardware vs software, think about it like this, what good is software without hardware? Completely useless. So hardware is just as important as software is, and all of the branches of IT are important. Each compliment one another and are necessary parts of the overall IT machine. Learning both isn't a bad thing and it'll help you better, and more fully, understand the other. I can't tell you what the demand is or isn't, especially for other countries, but I can say that it's always needed so I doubt there is a shortage of work in that area.

Answer 7

Fata1 Err0r I asked my pops (dad) to buy me a new laptop in order for me to stay ahead and code. And no, the school don't have that kind of system. But i really wanna code in a computer now so i get used to it. coding in mobile isn't that hard but i think coding in computer is much more comfortable.

Answer 8

Fata1 Err0r i know I'm asking this too soon, but i just wanna ask if where should i go/head to after i finish my bachelor's. I live in philippines. And I'm afraid the payscale in my country is pretty low. Can you suggest a country that has high demand in computer engineers?

Answer 9

noted bro! I will accumulate as much knowledge and skills i need in order to be a full pledge Engineer. Btw, if you don't mind me asking, what's your job?

Answer 10

and is it true that the demand in hardware is low compared to software? does that truly matter? 'Cause, in computer engineering, you will learn a fair share of software and hardware right?

Answer 11

Bro, thank you for the replies! I Appreciate the motivation and information You're throwing at me. I'll be entering college next week. I know it'll not be a cake walk but i already have the mindset and determination to persevere and achive my goals. I followed you btw. Is there a private message system in sololearn? So that i can contact you when i have something in my mind. It'll be a great boost to have help from an Professional.

^That's the SoloLearn Discord server. (You can download the Discord app onto your phone) Once you join that, you can add me as a friend and then we can speak further that way.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that SoloLearn has a messaging system built into it. Believe it or not, the web version of SoloLearn is pretty barebones compared to the mobile app that you're on. Most features are not available on the web version.

My biggest advice on school is to come up with a time management plan and stick to it ruthlessly. It's easy to get distracted by stuff around you, such as facebook, friends, games, phones, this website, etc.. and not dedicate the amount of time you should toward your studies, especially once the "new smell" wears off and its a daily grind to the finish line. It's even easier to get behind on accident. You've got a good head on your shoulders though, so I'm confident that you'll do just fine with all of it; always remember the reason why you do what you do and it'll help keep you grounded to your path.

Answer 13

Fata1 Err0r thank you bro. That means a lot. God bless you and good luck to game development!

Answer 15

Play around with HTML to be more confortabile with but don't lose too much time. Start Css tutorial and learn both in the same time because this is the right way to learn.
