jQuery would be a logical next step.

Have you begun to stretch your wings outside of Codecademy? As in, your own web project? Have you anything in mind and just need a little more grist for the mill? If apps and API’s are of any interest veer down that road with Python and Ruby. Explore the Off Track courses where you’ll find lots of stuff to sink your teeth into (or get your feet wet, anyway). Take your pick. There’s lots here you haven’t done. Judging by my score, at least 15 times more than what you’ve done up to now.

Hi Roy, I have a similar question. Right now, I’ve finished html/css, youtube api, and finally about to finish javascript after 6 months of not focusing on it. My background isn’t in programming at all but I felt I needed to adapt and learn. But this website has been extremely helpful and has inspired to really want to make apps that’ll help people and society. Or trying to move into a developer position hopefully in the future.Or make a fun app like candy crush or angry birds (one can only hope). My strategy for now is to learn as much as I can and write down what I see in journals in order to review. But I want to ask: What do you recommend I should do to focus on making apps? Go look at Python and Ruby? Or look at resources like android programming? I know it’s a long question but you seem really intelligent based on the q&a forums I’ve seen and want your opinion on it or anyone who has an opinion on it.

Roy about 10 years

Purpose pretty much dictates where I focus my attention (being more of a hobbyist and determined problem solver). Practice, practice and practice some more. I will not presume to know where you are at skill/understanding wise, so will only recommend honing and hardening your JavaScript skills before progressing to another language. Keep a list of concepts that still give you trouble or that you have trouble wrapping your head around, and work on that list until you master those concepts. If you take your confusion in one language into learning another, it may only serve to compound your confusion. This does not preclude learning the other languages. Just be sure to know where your current limits are, and slow your pace to give enough time to strengthen the weak points.

I hope someone still reads this and can help me: @Roy what do you mean with off track courses? Where can i find those?

Roy over 9 years

There used to be other courses that were not included in the main tracks. However, CC has made some changes recently, and those courses are no longer available. Please disregard.

Brian van Vlymen about 9 years

Have you thought about www.codepen.io? It could be improved your skills and learned these of new jQuery and JavaScript.

Kyle about 9 years

what if i told you you won’t need to put www.

Brian van Vlymen about 9 years

I am lost. What do you mean? This is regarding the topic is “after finishing html&css and javascript ,what should i start???” these website is very good helping these students to learn how to use Jquery and JavaScript.

I want to do the same thing after I finish these two (as in: I’m roughly 85% done with JavaScript and 75% done with HTML and CSS) I want to learn actual Java and C++. Anyone know of a website that could help?

Roy almost 9 years

Check with Oracle’s site for Java. Here is a SERP for C++ https://www.google.ca/search?q=C%2B%2B+learning+resources

check out programrr.com that is not a misspell that’s the site’s name

Ben Akroyd over 8 years

haha, @Kyle unfortunately it is a misspell! It’s programmr.com. I would definitely not move on to another coding language just yet! Do some projects with HTML, CSS, and particularly javascript. CodingAcademy has mostly just familiarized you with the syntax, you need some real experience under your belt before you can really even be a beginner. Programmr is as good a place as any, maybe moving on to an actual small real world project after that.

You could try The Odin Project, especially if you want to be a web developer. I just started it and I’m doing some projects based on what I’m learning, and it’s great!

Update: Didn’t finish The Odin Project although it’s GREAT and I plan on doing so. At the time I wrote this I was reading Head First HTML & CSS, and Head First Javascript Programming from Oreilly. After I finished those books, I’ve got a job as a front end web developer. I can’t recommend those enough. Now I’m following my education with Treehouse (special price for students, first two weeks free and also you get a discount signing up as a referral, I’ll leave my link here if you want to check it out: http://referrals.trhou.se/camilabn, but I dont know how it works for student accounts, so maybe you should go check out with them via their support email [email protected]) and I’m on the first year of Computer Science, but I thought maybe you wanted some real experience from someone learning from scratch and actually getting a job.

Free Code Camp is another great place to move forward. You learn to code and help build real projects for non-profits. It’s great if you want to build up an actual portfolio.

You need to start building things. I love CodeCademy, but you haven’t done enough real world building and debugging. I wouldn’t recommend looking for a paid job, I would go to:

Free Probramming Books at GitHub

This will give you plenty of projects to work on. Becoming a programmer isn’t something that happens overnight, but you’re well on your way! Keep learning and after a bit of time you’ll be darn good. Cheers.

Previous suggestions by Abdelbasset and Roy are very good. Check the following JavaScript libraries: The text below came from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_library [ With the expanded demands for JavaScript, an easier means for programmers to develop such dynamic interfaces was needed. Thus, JavaScript libraries such as Prototype, script.aculo.us, Ext Core, jsPHP, MooTools and jQuery and JavaScript widget libraries such as Ext JS, DHTMLX, and Dojo Toolkit were developed, allowing for developers to concentrate more upon more distinctive applications of Ajax. This has led to other companies and groups, such as Microsoft and Yahoo! developing their own JavaScript-based user interface libraries, which find their way into the web applications developed by these companies. Some JavaScript libraries allow for easier integration of JavaScript with other web development technologies, such as CSS, PHP, Ruby, and Java ]

After I’m finished I’m going to try some of those practice projects Codeacademy has, then I’ll start JQuery. Because JQuery comes after HTML/CSS and Javascript (Check the bottom of the page). :3 I must be a very simpleminded person.

jQuery is just one of the many API’s able to interface with the DOM. Order or learning is not of great importance, so long as we understand the role that each plays and learn as much as we can about each. We can learn them all simultaneously if we have the capacity for lots of information at once and are able to disseminate and make sense of it, and retain that knowledge. The key is to learn the DOM and all its interfaces so we can build valid, reliable, fast and error free web documents and applications. Not only are there languages to learn, but also standards and best practices which require a little more digging. While one could feasibly learn enough to be up and running in a day with a basic web page, it really does take a fair length of time to explore the depth and breadth of the DOM. If you are simple-minded as you say, it could work in your favour. Never downplay simplicity when it comes to creativity and web development.

Wow… I was just joking, because of how I chose it. But thanks for the info anyway.

You could also jump into a front end framework like Angular.JS which is using javascript. It felt like it was easy to pick up and fun to learn. There is a free lesson on it at codeschool.com

I would try something different, likePythonor Ruby. But, after learning JS, it would be a logical step to start jQuery. All the API’s could help you build a website, and the Build a website and Interactive Website are fun too. Alltogether, it’s your choice! Another coding website called Khan Academy teaches you stuff like animation. Have Fun!!!!!!

At the Khan Academy you can learn animation with processing.js and that is easy after you pass throught JavaScript here.

API’s are on the list, but require more than beginner level knowledge to fully understand and implement. We need a good foundation in objects, JSON and data parsing. Not that far out of reach, but a reach, nonetheless.

I would recommend javascript as i know html css and javascript and they are specifically designed to work together. i use them together all the time and they work beautifully together. You can do all kinds of cool stuff with the three of them together. JQuery would also be nice, but it really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.

There are other languages you can try, like PHP, Ruby, Python. You can go to Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, etc. You can also try some challenges.
