Finally, through three months of self-cultivation, I also stepped into the front-end development industry.
Although now oneself or a front small white, there is no actual development experience, but I think a good learning habit is very not easy, so I decided to start writing a blog to record the front end of the journey, of course I know, now there are a lot of elder’s blog on the depth of the front-end technology made the summary, but I don’t want to copy and paste, In my opinion, I lose the significance of recording in that way. I write blog just to record and summarize the knowledge I have learned in the development industry, so as to exercise my writing ability and strengthen my understanding of knowledge. If I am lucky enough to be seen by other seniors, I hope to get their criticism and correction for my mistakes. I know that this process will be very difficult, but I can’t give up, also did not give up capital, there are so many things I didn’t go to do, I know what you want, so, now that chose the development of the road, I must be determined to go, wait for four or five years later, will thank you very much today to themselves, by that time, You should also be satisfied with your life.
Ordinary experience
I am an ordinary person, ordinary family, no amazing family background; Average grades, average high school, average college, life is so. In 2017, high school graduation ushered in the first fork in the road of life — fill in the application. Because of my average academic performance in high school, I chose sports in all my high schools, and I could be admitted to an undergraduate university based on my sports score. However, I thought my major was better than the university’s, so I gave up my undergraduate major of physical education and chose the electromechanical VR major that I thought was very high at that time. At that time, electromechanical was divided into three majors: new energy vehicles, uav, VR. At that time, I thought any major would be very popular. I hoped that the future development would be bright and I could walk in the forefront of ordinary majors. But you never know, because we were the first to carry out the professional students, whether teachers or equipment, which are not very good supply, this also led to a theory we learned is the knowledge, is only on the first day of school class, let us experience a VR scene later school also can’t, and change to other courses of study, began to learn the front three meat: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which led to my first foray into front-end knowledge.
Encounter with the front end
Due to the narrow scope of knowledge, I didn’t know what the front-end was and what the back-end was at that time. I only occasionally heard who was engaged in IT. As for what I was doing, I didn’t care, because my development direction at that time was not this, but VR– virtual and reality, which I thought was very promising. When I first contact HTML, CSS, JS, the whole person is confused, because it is all In English, originally in high school, English performance is very poor, very hate English classes, especially back words, back English articles, it is a first two big, so instantly lost interest in this course. But didn’t pass the exam under the pressure, only crustily skin of head, knocked the code are also looked at textbooks in class again, didn’t even get HTML, CSS, JS, the relation between these three and the teacher who teaches us the course don’t zha drops, foundation is not good, sometimes writing code in class will also have to look at textbooks written, encountered a bug to half a day, the hair is dropped a lot, Typical Mediterranean haircut. Maybe that’s what the hair thinks. Hahahahaha goose. Time passed quickly, a semester ended like this, fortunately the graduation examination is not very difficult, it will be successfully completed. At that time, I already felt the sense of crisis in employment, VR major has nothing to teach us, front-end knowledge is not good, just know that there is such an industry, after learning is a programmer, and then, there is no and then, and the front end of the encounter is over. When I picked up the KNOWLEDGE of HTML, CSS and JS again, it was something I signed up for.
Training experience
In order to give yourself to find a way out, not graduate unemployment, a chance to let me know by Java, when I heard the Java is also fire, employment in high wage, after consulting the registration, tuition is very expensive, spent more than twenty thousand yuan, institution name I won’t mention, because was still at school, so he chose to study online video, See recorded course, knock yourself to follow the code, Monday to Friday evening eleven or twelve, basic it is learned part-time fill training went out over the weekend, I did not remember how many money, choose the payment by installment, first a few months only need three hundred more, but because I drag in school time was too long, then slowly will also more than one thousand a month, So I had to do a part-time job on weekends, and I did not dare to tell my parents that I paid off the training money by doing a part-time job. At that time, I did not know how the counselor knew that I had borrowed a campus loan or something usury. Is about to graduate, later went offline learning training institutions campus, do a lot of high efficiency, learned a lot, and a new sense of the front three meat, then it became clear that they actually do, think as long as a good learned this six months of the course, can certainly find a good job after graduation, but…
The advent of the epidemic
The year 2020 is not easy for everyone in Hubei. The sudden attack of the epidemic has disrupted all our plans. As to the seriousness of the epidemic, I was but many are described, and for a fresh graduates graduated in 2020, is a tough year, originally we planned to practice preparation, can have his first job after graduation, but because of the arrival of the epidemic, we can only be quarantined at home, this kind of feeling happy and upset, I was happy that we were able to stay with our families when the epidemic came. I arrived home the day before wuhan was shut down. Now I think about how worried my family would have been if I had been shut down in Wuhan and not returned home. Although home, but there are still a bit nervous, don’t you know what time the outbreak is over, don’t know what time can go back to practice, don’t know what time can graduate to find a job, really too much unknown, Java courses of study are also affected, due to the isolation in the home, can only through online video teaching approach to learning, but the big New Year’s day, how to learn through? As such, Java learning is not so ideal.
However, I am very glad that I did not fall in front of the epidemic, and I feel sorry for those who lost their lives, and I am grateful to all the people who supported Hubei. It was hard to watch the daily increase in the number of new people and the death toll, but I survived.
First Job
Wuhan unlock after, I went for the first time in wuhan, this want to find a job to do first, work and study, however, most companies are not in wuhan, and don’t just graduating seniors, can’t, had to choose to go to shenzhen, thinking about big cities always have a chance, but at the end of the shenzhen, vote for more than a month of Java development resume, Don’t have a personal interview, the interview several or training institution, the cover of the enterprise, cheat you go to the interview, after talked to know is the training institutions, thinking it is not to change the implementation of the work, started the first job after graduation, the salary is not high, only 5000 dollars, was thinking of the transition, When the epidemic is better, I will look for development work, which will take almost a year.
Self-study front-end
When I realized that I wasn’t suited to the back-end, I preferred to write code that worked immediately, so I took the courage to go back to the front-end and start learning again. Beginning is from HTML, CSS, JS began to study at the weekend, find all sorts of data and video on the Internet, follow knock code, later found the weekend learning time is too limited, go to work time can’t learn, learning knowledge is very easy to forget, then quit his job and make a commitment to the front of learning, is also the first time realized the feeling of naked resignation, After leaving the job, I took the only 10,000 yuan I had saved to find a cheaper house. Fortunately, there was a library nearby, so I started my later study. Then I learned Vue framework directly after LEARNING Ajax. Several times to learn fast collapse, but want to think of the parents at home, grit teeth also passed.
Find a job
I left my job in early June, and found my first development company at the end of August. The salary was 10K, which I actually opened by myself. I knew it was low for a development position, but I was satisfied with it, so I went through the entry procedures and started my front-end development career.
Calculate exactly three months time, from the beginning of learning front-end knowledge, to the first front-end development work. In these three months, there were many times I wanted to give up the idea, this time I was particularly homesick, especially want to go home, but I persisted, if so want to go home, why did I have to come out? So I keep telling myself: Please try a little harder for the people you want to see, the things you want to do, the people you want to be.
