Hey comunidad! I'm — a self-taught front-end developer turned software engineer, and I'm here to tell you you absolutely belong in tech.
Whether you’re switching careers, coming from a non-traditional background, or learning code between your 9–5 and family time, this guide is for you. Let’s break into front-end development together — no CS degree, no gatekeeping, just real resources that helped me and thousands of others start coding.
What Is Front-End Development?
Front-end developers build the parts of websites and web apps you see and interact with. If you've ever customized your Myspace page back in the day or edited a Tumblr theme, you were doing baby dev work without even knowing it!
You’ll learn to work with:
I’ve pulled together free resources (and a few affordable ones) that are recommended across Reddit, TikTok Tech, and my own journey.
1. HTML + CSS + JavaScript
Optional Paid (Worth It):
Breaking into tech can feel overwhelming — but I promise, it’s possible. I’ve seen so many gente from underrepresented backgrounds succeed. Your story, your perspective, your skills — they matter.
Let this be the year you bet on yourself.
I’m cheering you on every step of the way.
Follow me here or on IG/TikTok/YouTube for more beginner-friendly dev tips, code breakdowns, and support for our comunidad!
