What do I do now?

Question

Hi guys,

I'm 20 years old and I've been always fascinated by programming and videogames overall. I've learned Pascal (while I was in college), HTML, CSS, JS and C# basics by myself using this kind of tutorials webpages such as SoloLearn.

I'm interested in studying something related to videogames as a programmer, I've tried Unity with C# so far and done a couple of tiny projects of my own but nothing else. Right now, I'm learning SQL using SoloLearn because I've seen most companies ask for it as a requirement for a job.

So my main question is: What do programmers do to gain experience and to consider themselves ready for a job?

Answer 1

If you want to be professional, SL won't cut it at all. SL is for basic knowledge. Do your own larger projects. Sink hours into it. Learn Git. Learn more languages.
