For my first 3 job offers involving developer and software roles 2 of the 3 companies seemed very interested in me because I had a custom and well built portfolio using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and some backend API's. I personally think portfolio's can be very useful in the job search process. I don't think a portfolio should be thrown together in a couple hours with a website builder but a portfolio definitely does not need to be amazing or game changing to have an impact.

prob just the links are fine but it's not too hard to get a basic HTML template, link them there, and host them for free. It will be a plus for sure.

Hi Kenny, I have a question about mobile development. Do we need to know how to create a backend for mobile development or is it just calling API , getting data from backend and then displaying the data to the user ? If its just calling the API and displaying data then does that mean there is not much logic involved (compared to backend dev)? I been learning java for the past 6 months and have completed two side projects (console card games) and i am struggling to decide which path to specialize in...i am torn between choosing android development or java backend development and not sure if android development requires knowing backend dev also. I would like to use OOP concepts that i been learning and im not sure which path uses that more often.

@kennygunderman 2 жыл бұрын

I’d personally do Android dev. But that’s because I enjoy frontend mobile way better. So far I’ve had a pretty good career doing it. I’d say at some point you should spend some time and understand how backend works. Maybe make a REST api of your own and interface with some Database.

Hi Kenny, should all of my personal projects use a framework or should I use pure vanilla JS for at least one of the "large projects"?

@adinrichter6034 Жыл бұрын

I think showing competency with pure Javascript can be really good, but it’s definitely not required, and lots of companies want experience with specific frameworks. If it’s something really impressive you’ve done with Javascript then it can definitely be a great way to show your skills. If it’s something that could’ve just been done easier or better with a framework though, I’d recommend sticking to that. Inversely, if what you’ve done with a framework is just getting the framework to do all of the work for you, and you’re not really utilizing it for anything, it probably shouldn’t be included.
