Hey guys.
I am currently doing a bit of freelance web development (front end only). Prior to this I practiced law for 13 years and decided to change careers at the ripe age of 38 at the end of 2017. I guess I was lucky to get a project fairly early on, but it is really simple and basically amounts to data entry with a bit of HTML and CSS throw in. Furthermore, the pay is not that good and I am slowly reaching the stage where I have to find a job and I’m getting kind of desperate. The good thing is that it “keeps the pot on the boil” while I learn further.
I am fairly proficient at Javascript and Python, but I feel as if I’m just not at that stage where I can apply for jobs. Granted, I think I have been in tutorial purgatory for the past 2 years, having that fear of trying to build something on my own.
Ironically, the first language I was introduced to when I first started out was Go. I have played around with it a bit before and I really enjoy it. I do, however, want to reach that stage where I am employable. I have both Todd Mcleod’s courses (the Learn Go one and the Web Development with Go). Are there any other resources that are worth it? I also want to find out where one can find a mentor to, firstly, mentor me as I learn and, secondly, keep me accountable.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
