Is it safe to say that the courses taken on Sololearn is enough to be a programmer?

Question

For instance, can courses on Sololearn taken to be a web designer e.g. HTML5, CSS3 and JS. Is all the lessons enough for someone to be a professional and complete programmer/ web designer. Are the courses guaranteed to be a able to design any website such as fb or Amazon.

Answer 1

Sololearn is more a "starter", there are many courses out there on thousands of platforms to go deeper for specific topics, but it always depends on your interests and goals... So, what exactly is your way?

Answer 2

Still too broad, therefore you will need many skills. From server technologies over data storages, distributed data stores, statistics, programming skills in various languages, OOP, data and application modeling, networking, security topics, APIs and in addition to this the basic technologies (languages, existing frameworks, databases). Sure some topics are missing...

Answer 3

You can do that just with knowledge from sololearn but its more stressful and complexe.
In short sololearn is not enough to be a complete professional programmer.

Answer 4

After you finish your HTML, CSS and JavaScript courses you can do "one" of these:
1) Take the PHP course here and then how to make Facebook on YouTube.
2) Udemy: "The complete 2020 web development bootcamp" and then the "The complete Flutter development bootcamp with dart".
3) Any PHP "or" React course on how to build an online store.
3) Murach's PHP Guide
4) Murach's .Net Core Guide

After this you can design whatever you want and start it as a project. Anything else required for your project could be googled.

But in real life you get hired by knowing a little HTML, CSS, JavaScript and a back-end language. Some people are hired by only knowing JavaScript. Then you will learn from the code of your job. They will assign you projects depending if you like more fronted or backed. You will do both but depending on your choosing you will dedicate more time on one of these because they will assign you more of what you like.

Answer 5

Not at all. It's just a base...

Answer 6

The courses themselves don't teach you much - you need additional resources, practical examples and plenty of hard work done by yourself

Answer 7

🤣

Answer 8

carlos mercado That really helps. I ll look into some of those terms you mentioned. Experience matters. Practice makes perfection. Sandra Meyer I want to be able to build websites like FB and the rest. Later I could look into app development.

Answer 9

Sandra Meyer and HNNX 🐿 and Rawley I appreciate your replies. Please, what other additional sources do you think one can use. I believe the best is to be complete and perfect in whatever one does.

Answer 10

You just need to create your own projects once you finish with the basics (a whole course). Then aim to specifics (e.g login, sessions, cookies, filter data for inserting on a database using Regex, etc.). Your experience will make you a better programmer.

Answer 11

Cool. Thank you both.
