I intend to do FullStackOpen this summer. FullStackOpen says, with regard to its prerequisites:

Participants are expected to have good programming skills, basic knowledge of web programming and databases, and have mastery of the Git version management system. You are also expected to have perseverance and a capacity for solving problems and seeking information independently.

Previous knowledge of JavaScript or other course topics is not required.

Let's assume that I have no prior programming experience whatsoever. Let's assume I have never written a single line of code in my life, don't know what Git is, and that most of what I see while doing research about this kind of thing is complete Sanskrit to me.

What would I need to do to get "good programming skills, basic knowledge of web programming and databases, and 'mastery of the Git version management system'?"

I could jump right in and fill gaps in my knowledge through Google, but something tells me that won't be the best approach. What would be the best way to attain the FullStackOpen prerequisites?

Deep Dive Into Modern Web Development

Full Stack Open 2021

Link here: https://fullstackopen.com/en/

About:

Learn React, Redux, Node.js, MongoDB, GraphQL and TypeScript in one go! This course will introduce you to modern JavaScript-based web development. The main focus is on building single page applications with ReactJS that use REST APIs built with Node.js.

Prerequisites:

Participants are expected to have good programming skills, basic knowledge of web programming and databases, and mastery of basic use of the Git version management system. You are also expected to have perseverance and a capacity for solving problems and seeking information independently.

Previous knowledge of JavaScript or other course topics is not required.

Edit: Wow, my first award, thank you!

I am currently following a course on Udemy on React JS but i'm also looking for other resources to learn from and was wondering are those 2 resources still relevant or are out of date?

Asking as i read some people talking about taking TOP like 4-5 years ago. Before people mentions react.dev, i did go through it too.

I was willing to enroll in the FSO 2021. Just curious about how many hours it might take on average to finish it.

Anyone can join but probably need some programming experience. Comfortable with 1 programming language like python. Html, css and a little JS.

It is a full stack web dev course. It comes in different parts. The requirements for the group I'm putting together is 10 hours a week your own schedule. Each part takes about 10 hours to complete. Then set up a meet time on zoom or teams whatever is most convenient, for 1 hour a week to talk about it. Discuss problems, solutions and ideas.

University of Helsinki class, free and comes with certificate and transferable university credits upon completion.

I'm looking to start end of May, around the week of the 20th

We have a few people already and we are using: r/fullstackwebdev_class to communicate until we start the class then we'll switch to teams/ zoom/discord as everyone wants.

Is full stack open good? I want to learn React especially up to date along with backend frameworks in javaScript. I want something that wont take much of my time i just want to learn the basics so i can go and create my own projects to add to my portfolio. Im struggling to find a good video to learn MERN instead i found full stack open.

Or stick to TOP?

What do you all recommend I take before this? I have experience with other languages (java) but not any JavaScript.

I finished parts 0 to 11 of the University of Helsinki's Full Stack Open course a few months ago and I feel reasonably confident with most of the content taught there (React, TypeScript, Express, MongoDB, etc.). However, this course doesn't really result in a great portfolio of projects since the projects aren't very visual or particularly interesting.

Now that I don't have the structure of the course to guide me I'm feeling a little lost and not being very productive. I've tried starting my own projects, but haven't really gotten anywhere. My goal is to finish a few projects for a portfolio so I can get a job as quickly as possible.

One thought I had was to go through the Odin Project or at least do some of the projects there. Would this be worth my time considering I already finished Full Stack Open? Or are there any other tutorials/courses you'd recommend that result in nice portfolio projects?

Or would it be a better use of my time to do my own projects? If so, could you point me to a good list of project ideas or starting points?

What would you recommend I do next?

I'm currently in part 4 of the course and so far, i've built a few basic web apps with React, Node, and MongoDB.

I started learning to code in late 2017 and up until yesterday, i didn't know how to deploy a node app to heroku or do unit tests or integrarion tests. But that's just a few things i've learned so far and i plan to continue next weekend.

So, if like me, you know basic or intermediate JavaScript, you know basic git and GitHub, but you've been stuck in tutorial hell or you're clueless about:

• Connecting a React App to a Node backend

• Database administration

• Testing

• Graphql

• Typescript, or;

• ACTUALLY BUILDING SOMETHING FROM WHAT YOU'VE LEARNT

I think that course will do you some good.

Hey guys, I want to become a full stack developer. I heard that these two tutorials are great for beginners. I did around 100 hours of programming in python and I know basic stuff like loops, def functions and libraries. But I don't know anyhing, other than basic python. Which tutorial would you recommend to me and why?

Thanks in advance!

I am finishing CS50 right now and have started planning where to go next. Right now I am leaning towards either to CS50’s Web Programming with Python and JavaScript or Helsinki's University Full Stack Open.

Since I am not familiar with the tech being studied in these courses, are they complementary to each other or should I choose only one of the courses? If so, which do you recommend to go with? My goal is to switch careers sometime, so I would like to find the most practical solution.

EDIT AFTER 1 MONTH: eventually I decided to try FreeCodeCamp and really liked it, so I stayed here until finishing front-end libraries. Now I have finally started Full Stack Open and I feel that it's nice that I did FCC first, because the knowledge in JS I gained there is really helping now.

Hello,

I'm doing The Odin Project right now, in the first foundation part.I heard that after a while I should switch to Full Stack Open, can you guys tell me when I should?

The Odin Project courses are:
- Foundations
- Intermediate HTML and CSS
- Javascript
- Advanced HTML and CSS
- NodeJS
- Getting hired

Thanks

Hey everybody I have just completed CS50x and now I am going on to full stack open. My question is do i need to create a new repo for each project i complete of create one repo with multiple branches? if anybody has any advice for me on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Finally I have completed enough exercises to be awarded with the course certificate. So far I have earned 3 credits and can continue further to get more credits and an advanced certificate. It took me about 40 something hours to finish this course (I was slow in grasping new concepts). I feel that now I have a good foundation in react and linking a react app with backend (Node.js).

You need to submit all the compulsory exercises from part 0-3 in the course to get the certificate.

OVERVIEW

Part0 encouraged me to think about the data being transferred between frontend and backend or between client and server using web sequence diagrams.

Part1 required me to build some basic react apps employing hooks to manage state and refactoring modules.

Part2 where I had to use local server using json-server package to save data and delete from it which was saved in a json file in the project directory.

Part3 needed me to put all things together and combine react's frontend with node.js backend and use mongodb as database replacing json-server. I also got to know basics about ESLint.

Hello, everyone. I'm a CS undergraduate who is currently completing The Odin Project as I want to get internships or trainee positions ASAP. I'm nearly at TOP's React section. I have checked Reddit and generally 2 years ago most people recommended switching to FSO after reaching Odin's React section. Is this still the case nowadays, even after Odin was updated? Or should I stick to Odin all the way to nodeJS?

I am about to get started with learning full stack development and this website seems to offer free certification along with an extensive course. Could people who have used this website let me know their opinion on it ?
