Awesome! :) That's great to hear bro. Many people underestimate the potential of self-learning and feel that you -have- to have a fancy piece of paper to represent your abilities. Keep up the good work!

@DerXred... Thanks for posting a little more about your background. It's interesting to hear that some people struggle to find work in the software development industry. I've been very fortunate to have never experienced this problem in about 20 years of programming. In fact, it's been quite the opposite. I receive many requests each week to interview for new job openings by recruiters via LinkedIn. Interestingly enough, I've never taken a job through a recruiter. However, I'm sure contacting a recruiter who specialized in placing software developers would be a good place to start for someone new in the business. I also recommend you create a LinkedIn profile and begin connecting with other people in the industry. If you don't have many contacts yet, try joining local technology user groups and connecting with other members. Often times, people will check LinkedIn to see how many degrees of separation they have with a job candidate. Sometimes, it only takes seeing a mutual contact for a hiring person to decide to bring someone in for an interview. Also, networking at local user groups can often lead to someone who knows about a job opening that might be suited for an entry level developer. If work experience is something you absolutely need to get your first interview, you might want to consider getting involved with an active open source project. Actually, I recommend this anyway. Best of luck to you with getting started.

Well, you can study things about website protocols, how does it work. What is LAN, MAN, WAN, packets, servers, DNS, get job about that. It is more easier than to become java developer in Google immediately. But still there is PHP, WordPress, plugins and you can learn a lot about IT.

Congratulations! But you should tell us more! :-) The themes that @derXred noticed. The type of job you've got. How was it posible when most of learners here can not get a decent job untill they'll have some experience (pet-projects, portfolio, unpayed internship). What are your perspectives there also? And so on... Thanks in advance!

@Michal Jakubec Well, i cant get even for a internship interview im not even tring to say about a job interview, so for beginners like me can you tell us more ? :) or can you give us some ideas? In your CV you had something like a portfolio or some certification or you took some courses? :) In the CV you said that you just know a programming language? Or you said the level of knowing it(medim- advanced) ? I really want to get to an interview!!! :( maybe i am bad and i need to learn more, but i want to know how can i get there :p I belive an interview is a step forward even if you're not getting hired. Sorry for so many questions, i know programming is not easy ,but can be if you put in the time. I believe im becoming obsessed with the learning to code. PS Forgot to say congrats and good luck! :D
