Question: As a student/teenager, what should I do/options do I have to become a front-end web developer and designer? What colleges should I look at for computer programming? What can I do on my own in school to get a solid jump start to a career?
Background: I’m about to go into my sophomore year. I found computer programming through Khan Academy, and I flew through the beginner course in a summer. (Khan teaches JavaScript with an edited version of Processing.js) Since then, I learned through Codecademy HTML and CSS with SCSS and then jumped to freeCodeCamp. I flew through most of the beginning sets not just because I already had familiarity with most of the concepts and they’re pretty easy to begin with. I’m taking AP Computer Programming next year.
I’ve seen many questions and answers for adults in their later years wondering if it’s too late to start or other adults trying to get jobs, but I was wondering what I can do as a student.
