How did you get into web development?
MySpace? Comp sci? Made the jump from print? Bootcamp?
GeoCities. š
Some of the first code I wrote was mIRC script for IRC chatbots and other utilities, and I made a website to share it. After that I always had a website and from there got into Perl (made guestbooks, photo galleries), then PHP, and ultimately Ruby. And lots of JS, obviously.
I did major in computer science at one point but dropped out. Then Multimedia & Web Design, also dropped out. I was already freelancing by the time I was in college, and never looked back.
I know that hasnāt been the story for everyone and I feel so fortunate to have had that head start and opportunity.
(Iām not sure I was actually making good money by then but I was happy if I didnāt have to get a āreal jobā lol)
