I recently found this post about Niamh McCooey that became a web developer in 7 month. She did it without going to University or attending a Bootcamp. I found it interesting so I wanted to share. It mostly tell you about some of the resources that she used. Not really how she got a job. Just to set the expectations right. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-i-became-a-web-developer-in-under-7-months-and-how-you-can-too/

I’m sure there are more similar stories out there. Please share with me. If it’s your story or if you read about someone else. I would love to hear!

Internet offers a wide range of free (or at a very low cost) material. Everything is not for everybody. But you have to know about them, and then you have to try, to know what suits you.

Extra: It’s funny coincident that Niamh is UK based and that she mention Ada’s List in her post. My friend Yasmine Å. Morrison will speak at Ada’s List Conf 2020, happening today and tomorrow. Check it out!
