The route

  1. 1
    3–5 months

    Learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript

    In that order, and properly. Frameworks on a weak foundation collapse under review.

  2. 2
    2–4 months

    Learn React or an equivalent

    State, components and data fetching. Most job ads name a framework.

  3. 3
    2–4 months

    Build three real projects

    Deployed, responsive, accessible. Include one you did not follow a tutorial for.

  4. 4
    1–3 months

    Learn accessibility and performance

    The two things that distinguish a professional from a bootcamp graduate.

  5. 5
    3–9 months

    Apply widely and expect a grind

    Junior front-end is the most crowded door in tech. Referrals matter more than applications.
