00:00:07,270 --> 00:00:15,370
One of the most common questions I get for my students is how long to become a web developer?

2
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:27,140
Well, becoming a web developer can take varying amount of time, depending on number of factors such

3
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:34,430
as your prior knowledge, the type of web development career you want to specialize, your learning

4
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:37,910
style and the resources you have available.

5
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:45,320
If you have no prior knowledge or experience in web development and are starting from scratch, you

6
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:53,720
could take around 6 to 12 months to gain a solid understanding of the basics and become proficient in

7
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,310
the technologies and tools required to build a web application.

8
00:00:58,850 --> 00:01:06,800
However, if you have some experience in web development or you have a background in computer science,

9
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,860
it may take less time to become a web developer.

10
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:17,300
For example, if you already know the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and are familiar with web

11
00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:24,590
development concepts such as responsive design, it can take around 3 to 6 months to become proficient

12
00:01:24,590 --> 00:01:30,290
in specific web development framework or library such as React or Angular.

13
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:38,090
Furthermore, if you are looking to become a full stack developer, it will take some more time as you

14
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:41,990
need to gain knowledge about backend development as well.

15
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:48,500
And it can take around 9 to 12 months to become fully stock developer.

16
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:57,690
So it is important to know that becoming a web developer is a continuous learning process, as web development

17
00:01:57,690 --> 00:01:59,910
is a field that is constantly evolving.

18
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:06,450
So even after you become proficient a specific technology or tool, you will need to keep learning and

19
00:02:06,450 --> 00:02:09,750
updating your knowledge to stay relevant in the field.

20
00:02:10,169 --> 00:02:18,420
My conclusion is that the time it takes to become a web developer depends on your experience.

21
00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:25,530
The type of web development you want to specialize, your learning style and the resources you have

22
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:28,830
available and most importantly, your time.

23
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:37,230
But with clear goal, a solid plan, and a willingness to learn, you can become a web developer in

24
00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:39,300
a reasonable amount of time.

25
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:40,570
All right.
