Hi .. I'm Thomas Weibenfalk, a developer and designer from Sweden. I've just finished my FIRST EVER online video course. I will show how you build an IMDB style web application in React.js The movie data is fetched from The Movie Database.

I, myself, find a passion in web application development recently so that's why I love using React.

It's on Udemy and if you use the code FIRST-EVER you can enroll it for free if you're among the 20 first who enroll.

Visit the course here: udemy.com/learn-react-the-fun-way

Have fun! =)

Thomas

Here is the developer roadmap you can reference.

If you are just getting started, remember that syntax isn't that important. You want to use a language that is syntax-simple but very expressive. I'd recommend using Ruby or Python as a start and work on some really simple projects.

Just pick one and follow some tutorials. Really, it's just that easy.

You can't get started without getting started. Reading articles and watching videos don't really do any good unless you can apply what you have learned.

Java, C# tend to be the starter languages. If nothing else both should help you get the basic object oriented programming stuff under your belt. Once you get that down and start learning patterns, languages don't matter as much anymore.

Given your familiarity with SQL, I might suggest taking a stab at C#. SQL knowledge will come in handy later on if you want to stick with it.
