What will my future be? reading_time: 5 tags: ["tags.life"] cover: post-2 date: 07-01-2021 background: true --- ## Presentation Many ask me how I started development, what training did I take and why did I start? Here is the article allowing you to discover everything. ### Summary - How it all began ? - And the web in all this? - What training did I follow? - What am I capable of achieving today? - How do I see my future in this area? - Conclusion ## 1. How did it all start? Being a video game player and very curious, I inquired about how a video game worked. At that time I was playing Minecraft, so I discovered the existence of development and my first programming language: **Java**. So I wanted to add my personal touch and my creativity to the community. Therefore, I learned to use this language, the syntax and all that goes with it. So I installed my first development environment and started with very small projects. ## 2. And the web in all this? It was much later that I became aware of the vastness of the web domain. As I got really interested in this new field, So I learned new programming languages: **JavaScript**, **Html** and **Css**. These languages were much easier to learn because I had a good foundation in programming. I trained as much in `Front` development as in` Back` development. The `Front` results in the interface of the application visible by a user and the` Back` by the part invisible and inaccessible by a user. ## 3. What training did I take? When I started, I took a course on [OpenClassrooms](https://openclassrooms.com) to learn Java syntax. In addition, I bought myself a big book, very big 400-page book called `Programming in Java`. I acquired new functionalities such as the principles of object programming for example. Today, I mostly learn on my own using the Internet and development discord servers. Recently, I have been taking training on [Udemy](https://udemy.com) in particular to learn **Go** and **Docker**. Finally, I also use [Youtube](https://youtube.com) to follow more or less technical tutorials. ## 4. What am I able to achieve today Currently, I am able to do entire web applications, both the `Back` and the `Front`. As mobile and office applications are based on the same technologies, I also know how to develop applications of this type. To see all my skills mastered, please visit my [About](/about) page, in the _Technical Skills_ section. ## 5. How do I see my future in this field? I am currently asking myself a lot of questions about my future in development and my professional future. So I attend a lot of computer conferences and do a lot of research. Lately, I learned about an area that I knew only vaguely. It was a very great interest that immediately developed for this area because it meets all my expectations, and I think I will thrive in this area a lot! ## 6. Conclusion Now you know everything about my beginning and my journey. I hope I have answered all of your questions and that you know how you can start your own journey! I am available for all your additional questions! ## Information Here are various links of development discord servers with an active community: - [ItsAlexousd](https://discord.gg/HE4UeBGvGA) - [La Meute](https://discord.gg/TzJJ4KVGDd) - [ArtDanjProduction](https://discord.gg/rEzmnWSp3V) (Brand-new server) In addition, I would like to thank **\_RealAlpha\_** and **Freeze** (and all the others) who answered all my questions and with whom I share a great passion! I started the web efficiently thanks to Freeze, thanks to you 😉 They are very active on discord servers and will be able to help you with Java and Web development.
