Our third day project course includes our JavaScript front end projects, our Python back end projects, our SQL database projects and much, much more. So go ahead and click the link below to our free seven step guide so that you can start reaching your programming goals today. I'll see you guys in the course. All right guys, the quick answer to your question is yes. But I wanna go over the details later on in the video on why is the right thing to do. But at a very high level, a lot of you guys are struggling with JavaScript. You can't get a job, it's hard for you to learn. You just don't have a plan of attack to really get a grasp of it and leverage it in ways that you wanna do. And again guys, if you're doing this for a hobby you're not looking to take your career to the next level of JavaScript or anything like that, this don't really apply to you. You keep doing your thing. You keep enjoying doing it as a hobby. But if you wanted to make some money as a JavaScript developer and really become that developer you wanna become and make that amount of money, I got a couple of things I wanted to kind of go over with you guys in detail and we can get started with that. But before we get started guys, tell me about your unique situation so that we can start a conversation below in the comment section. I wanna know why you're struggling with JavaScript. If it is it because you don't have a plan, it's hard for you to learn it or maybe the interview process has been a mess for you. Just go ahead and put all of that down in the comment section so that we can start a conversation. I really wanna help you guys learn more about your unique situation so that I can give you specific details on how to get to that next level for you. And this applies for aspiring JavaScript developers even if you're an existing JavaScript developer who's actually in a tough position and you can't get any headway in your career. Go ahead and comment below and so that we can get started guys. So I made a couple of points here. Wanna make sure I cover these pretty good. I'm gonna give you the pros and cons. We'll kind of go over them at a high level so that we can get started guys. So at the end of the day, let's go with the cons. At the end of the day guys, JavaScript compared most programming languages it's easier to learn and it's relatively fast to learn and the competition is very popular so that you can find resources on this. A lot of you guys going to really grasp JavaScript pretty good cause compared to other programming languages JavaScript is very visual. You can actually see what you're doing on the screen in some cases or at least at the very minimum you can see the end to end to where, hey, I see all the visual elements how can I dynamically change them and all that. The problem with you guys get into is you guys start to really just kind of keep that very high level, hey UI design which is good, which is important. Don't take that the wrong way. UI is important and you gonna always need to make sure your UI is actually optimized for the end user but at a certain point you're gonna have to provide more value to that end user than just cosmetic related stuff. That's what you guys are struggling with. You got training projects that you're doing and it's just basic surface level stuff. And when you take that to a, if you take that to a hiring manager or one of your bosses and like, hey, I learned JavaScript and ready for the job. They're looking at you as, hey, that's great, but it don't move the needle for a company like us. So it's gonna be up to you to really kind of figure out how you can present your JavaScript skills in a way that people's gonna take you serious and actually give you an opportunity to really start making money, providing value and everything's going great. And again, guys, don't get me, don't get confused. UI design is important. You always wanna make sure you do that, but at a certain point you have to go beyond that. Even in JavaScript, even in front end development to really get to that next level and get beyond the competition. Because unfortunately guys, the competition is fierce. It is very fierce. Out of all the three sections of programming front end versus back end versus database, front end, everybody wanna be a front end developer, UI developer because it's the nice sexy stuff. It's the stuff that you get the most benefit out of from a visual perspective and also feedback from a user. The other two is more in the background. You don't necessarily see it on performance level and more likely it's probably a situation where they already complain about it and you're helping them out. So it's not this whole new design, new sexy look that's something that you can put it before the other. That being said, you already know when something is more appealing, you're gonna have more competition. Just really iterating my point before is you got to make sure you have the level of projects that's gonna get you beyond that surface level of beginner JavaScript developers so that you can help take your career to the next level guys. And again, I know you guys are tired of me keep iterating this. UI design is very important. You got a lot of channels dedicated to UI design but in the real world, you're gonna find out pretty quickly that a lot of the back end stuff is what's gonna move the needle over time more consistently. And I'm gonna give you guys some projects that you can present so that you can at least get ahead of the competition. I can't go over all the projects in this video. Like you saw earlier, I got links below for my seven step guide. Go ahead and click that. We got details about more projects that you guys can start to use in JavaScript and put yourself in position to win there too. And if you already tried my seven, my free seven step guide go ahead and buy my premium courses below guys. You got some really good deals. Price is gonna be okay for a little while before they go up. So go ahead and take advantage of that so that we can give you the projects you need to kind of get started and put yourself in a position to win there. So before I wrap this video up, I wanna make sure you guys do this. It starts and ends with projects. What do projects do for you? If an employee is looking at the projects that you're doing without even talking to you the way you phrase it and present those projects gonna tell everything they need to know mostly about what you can provide for them. You're not gonna be able to tell the intangible stuff, the communication skills, the leadership, all that stuff but just the way that you approach presenting it and the details you give is gonna let them know, hey, this person is coming in. They're just not the basic, yeah, Brooming software developer or a JavaScript developer. They are really looking that way to help solve my problems beyond just the graphical stuff. And that's what's gonna help you guys get to that next level. I can't stress enough how many developers I've been in a hiring situation with where they come in, they show in all their hello world and all this nice graphical looking good UI stuff which, again, at the beginning we need that, present that great. But the minute you ask them anything beyond that, it falls flat. And they're expecting to have a consistent job. And again, guys, you got technology companies who specialize in front end development and consulting companies. Those are only a few of the large majority of jobs out there to become a software developer. And I don't want you guys to get tied up into just that one group of companies. Again, we talked about that in Step Guy as well, guys. You're gonna have your technology companies, consulting companies, and you're gonna have just general businesses. Most of you guys are gonna have success, more success working for a general business as a software developer than the other two only because of just the competition alone. And I'm gonna help you guys get started there. So, at the end of today, guys, like, subscribe to the content if you haven't already. Go ahead and check out the link to on the resources in the description box. I'll put a link of my Step Guy here on the screen and I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
