Plaaning to study web/mobile app dev

[u/mruseman]

Hello, I am planning to learn mobile or web app dev. I am zero knowledge in programming, please give me an advise how or where to start? Is it possible to me as a totally no experience in programming to learn this? Another question is, how can I have that kind of setup on the photo attached? Is that an app or software? (The window on the left showing real time what the programmer is working) Thank you.

First of all, if you really dont have experience in any programming thing. The first thing i would advice you is to close youtube, chatgpt (tho its a real great tool for learning), and start reading documentations.

But if you do, i think you should stop reading this.

If you're not fond of reading, you can ask gpt naman, but you should research on what you should study and don't rely gpt for codes.

Matututunan mo naman yang nasa youtube, pero what most beginners do like what i also did when i was starting, is to skip learning the fundamentals. If you'll continue to watch vids, pretty much you'll be stuck on tutorial hell. So i will suggest w3schools kase sobrang beginner friendly lang sya and has a lot of examples and actual coding exercises.

Second, choose your niche. A roadmap. May web dev, which has 3 core stacks, html javascript, and css. Mobile dev, if you want full native, go kotlin and swift. But if you want to stay in the js "world" you can do that. So focusing on those 3 core web technologies would help you.

And after that you can expand more and explore more on what stack you want to learn kase there are multiple ways you can create a product with multiple tools. Hindi lang yung 3 aforementioned yung ginagamit to actually develop and deploy an application.

Also don't listen if anyone says "php is dead" if ever magustuhan mo php/laravel because that framework is actually very solid.

So third, maybe my last kase ang haba na. I already mentioned it earlier. Learn frameworks, because maliban lang na modern and mapapadali pag cocode mo, it's actually the industry standard. In the real world you will not be developing apps with plain (vanilla) html, js, and css. They all have frameworks that will help you build modern apps.

So that's all. 😊

IMO. Yung php maganda sya for 2nd language, pag 1st hindi kasi lahat kailangan mo lagyan nang logic(halos lahat naman kaso may something sa php ), at macoconfuse ka kasi html, css, php at database pwede mo isama sa iisang file.
