@fryskungenMay 16.2023 — #I have over a couple of years re-educated myself from being a cool dude in a freezer-warehouse to becoming a full-stack system developer.
I started off with udemy courses on web-development during evenings after work. I tried many different languages and basically did the "ground course" in html/css/javascript/Go/python with not much focus on either one. I enjoyed it but didnt do much with it.
What I found the hardest was the confidence to actually build something real. When I decided I wanted more than a hobby - to take "programming" to a professional level the hardest thing was motivating taking time away from family (wife and 2 young kids at the time) without being sure I actually was learning valuable things (try googling "what is the best program language to learn).
I ended up jumping on a focused "school" course to give myself the confidence and a proven roadmap, to know I was learning things that mattered to someone that might want to hire me eventually.

What were the biggest problems you faced when you started learning web development?
I would like to know how was your learning experience as a beginner.
