Super welcome! Thanks for tuning in :-)

Thank you man! :-)

Awesome, keep me posted on progress!! :-)

Awesome!! 😄 🙌 Well done my friend!

Please guide me how you learn shopify apis?

Don't say you are another theme developer.

Bro can i get contact with you? Plz

You can do it! :-) Try to mix in LinkedIn and post about some of the things you've learned in your current job, tips for beginners, experiences you had, or cool client projects you worked on. (You can check back with the agency, but they should be cool with it, because you promoted the agency and your own expertise) Cheers man!

😊

Love this energy Juan.... & Jan, thank you for creating this video / community. *Subscribed* ... Recently finished a Full Stack BootCamp (PERN Stack) and now I'm learning a cool framework (Next.js) to build my portfolio/blog with. After seeing your video, I am 85% convinced this a good path to make money/gain experience in... I noticed you said the market is shifting in about 2 years @codingwithJan , can you exand on that ?

Hi Muhammad, this probably doesn't have to do with your technical skills but sounds more like deficits on the sales and marketing side. Here are a few ideas - learn more about pricing strategies, and make sure you raise your rates - are you presenting yourself professionally enough? (Compare your public appearance with other developers and agencies. LinkedIn profile, Portfolio, communication) - consider partnering with agencies who already work with established brands

Wow you've come a long way!! 😄 Huge congrats man!

what other thing you learnt after learning from him that helped you become a senior shopify developer?

Great question! I think this depends a bit on your preferred learning style and how much you can or want to invest. Of course I'm biased here, but I genuinely believe our Bootcamp Freemote is the best platform if you're looking for an end-to-end solution. (step-by-step curriculum, tons of practice projects, personal code reviews, personal portfolio reviews, mentors you can talk to, live calls, freelancing resources, support if you get stuck on your first paid jobs, access to the community). Our main goal is that you see a positive return on your investment quickly. If you want to start smaller, and rather use time as your main investment, self-study and other courses can be good too. You can start with a course on HTML CSS JS. Then maybe one of the courses by Chris the Freelancer or Weeklyhow. Both of them are good teachers too. You can also find freelancing-specific resources out there. So you could use this developer roadmap video right here, and look for the bits and pieces. Hope this is helpful. :-)

Awesome. :-) Freelancers are usually preferred if clients want a bit more flexibility or better deals. (because agencies have to charge a bit more due to their complexity in project management for example)

Haven't worked much with big commerce, so can't really speak on that.

Yes, I believe because of competition it will become increasingly hard to get by just offering the most basics development services. Beyond the beginner-friendly services though, right now there is a huge demand for more advanced customizations, app development, and custom integrations. Also if you look at all the things released at Shopify Editions this year, a lot of the features focus on improving the platform and serving the existing customer base. (Where in recent years I was under the impression the main goal was more acquiring new merchants and getting more users on the platform). We also see more and more enterprise brands moving to Shopify, and theme vendors working on new themes specifically for the needs of these brands. So my prediction is that in the near future the most lucrative services and most in-demand services will one level up / slightly more advanced / geared towards established brands. (smb's to enterprise)

Hey, no problem! We removed all pricing on our website a while ago, because we like to explain pricing in context. We also have various options for payment plans to make the program as accessible as possible and it's just easier to explain these when having a chat. It's also important for us because we can check back regarding your current skills and goals, to see if Freemote is a good fit to begin with. If calls are unavailable right now, it might just mean that the calendar is booked out. We only open slots 2-3 days into the future. :-)

Hi, I think the next best step for you would be learning liquid! :-)

@@CodingWithJan ❤️

negative! learn javascript

Liquid is important, but you will learn it while making your first customizations/building sections. Hydrogen I would not recommend as a beginner, because headless is only relevant for a few selected enterprise brands. :-)

@@CodingWithJan So headless (decoupled backend/frontend) is or isn't valuable as a Shopify Partner ? I know fullstack react, but as I mentioned in the other comment - I'm learning next.js,,, after reading this comment i'm wondering if Next.js has any upsale value in shopify partner developer market .

Hey, no worries, constructive feedback is always welcome! :-) I did mention the learning JavaScript part, parallel to working on your first simple projects and of course, there are some simplifications if you try to condense a 6-12 weeks action plan into a 10-minute video, but this is genuinely the strategy I'd follow starting from scratch.

@@CodingWithJanah, I missed it, I repeated the video again and found where you mentioned JavaScript. I still believe this is too late to learn javaScript in this order, in my opinion it should be directly after HTML/CSS, however, I can understand why you added it here. Actually this is a bit different/strange roadmap. I still think it’s over simplyfing the process, hope this can work for people who are just starting!
