so you want to become a full stack developer in 2022 but you don't know where to start you don't
necessarily have the time or energy or resources to go back to school for another four years to get
your computer science degree does this mean your dreams of becoming a full stack developer are gone
definitely not as someone who has been there and has graduated with a degree that wasn't in
computer science to now where i am today as a software developer i can ensure you there
are so many different ways to getting there to becoming a full stack developer today i'm going
to be sharing with you some of my top courses i would suggest for anyone who is looking to become
a full stack developer these courses are taught by industry experts on full stack development they
are teachers that have been renowned for so long and i'm so excited to share them
with you all these courses are on udemy and honestly i can say i have to give so much
credit to udemy especially in the start of my career when i was learning and upskilling
constantly it's pretty much my number one resource or it is my number one resource
i go to when i need to learn something new before we get into it though make sure to
hit that subscribe button for more tech and coding related content give this video a thumbs
up and also leave in the comments other video topics you want to see okay let's dive into it
i'm going to go through the top five courses the courses that i list are not in order from
number one to five or five to one these are all in my opinion equal on just the top five courses
to become a full stack developer the first one is by dr angela it's the complete 2022
web development bootcamp now if you've taken any kind of coding related courses on you to me before
you have definitely heard of dr angela she has some of the most top-rated courses on udemy when
it comes to coding and technical related skills so it's no surprise one of her courses is on
the top five list okay let's get into what about this course that i really love and what makes it
stand out well the first one is the length of it this course is really done in a lengthy way where
you're committing over 55 hours to this course and yes well that seems like a long time imagine if
you are someone who is coming in with next to no experience when it comes to full stock development
you are learning the basics from html css and then continuing building blocks on all throughout this
course okay i'm going to pull up on screen here just a list of some of the technologies
and tools you will learn in this course so as i mentioned html css then it goes into bootstrap
javascript jquery and i love actually that it does focus on jquery at least touch on it a little bit
now some of you might say well jquery is a bit outdated it's not really used that often
it's still in my opinion so important to have a fundamental understanding about what it is why
it was used initially and what has really taken over from jquery then it goes into git and github
and version control which i think is so important and it's something that when i was self-teaching
myself or even went to a bootcamp that was really missed so i love that she brings that into this
course and for full stack you are going to be learning node express working with databases with
sql and also too with mongodb so i really like how she touches on that as well with authentication
firebase and then it goes into more frontend things with react react hooks and web design
another thing that stands out for me and another reason i would take this course is because you
actually are building a physical or not physical a tangible product where you're building your
portfolio and i love how you can come out of this course with a portfolio already developed
and not to mention this is a certificate course so once you complete it you have a certificate which
is always a nice thing to put on your linkedin i feel like i could talk about each of these courses
for hours on end i promise i will not i'll just get to the the highlights and i think the reason
behind my excitement for these courses is because they are so well done and so much time and effort
is put into them and as someone who has been there and has taken so many of these courses
i really really appreciate the effort and the time and how these courses are laid out that it truly
is one of those courses or all of these courses aren't wasting your time you're not going to
take them and regret taking them which is so huge because there's so many different courses online
that really you feel like at the end of that why did i take this it was a waste of time
and one thing i have found with udemy is it's consistent they always have the best courses
and the best quality and i never feel like i'm wasting my time okay now that we have that out
of the way let's go into the next one next on the list is a course by oak academy called full stack
web development with react angular and node i really like how in this course they touch on both
react and angular because a lot of courses just specify or touch on one front-end framework
or library and in this case you get to learn too and i think it's really important to learn too
because it really shows you the differences and similarities between different frameworks and
libraries and in this course one of their mottos or moto's motto motto motto is to learn by doing
and you're going to be doing a lot of different projects in this course so by the end of it
you'll have essentially a portfolio in itself with different projects in react and then also angular
also with this course you have actually with all of these courses you can have zero experience
going into it so literally if this is day one for you and you're like i want to learn how to code
i want to become a full stack developer this is for you they really go from the basics from html
css and work their way up the only caveat i don't even know if it's the caveat but the only thing
to note is you have to be mentally committed to the time length as i mentioned the last course
was 55 hours this one is 36 hours almost 37 hours so you need to be in the mindset that
this is going to take time and this shouldn't come as a surprise to you it should actually be
seen as a positive because any good course or any good teaching it's going to give the appropriate
amount of time to learning something so vast and so big okay the next course on the list and
i'm sure you are not surprised it involves python because a lot of our videos we have done recently
together talk about how python is the number one programming language in demand right now it's just
it's everywhere right now and that's a good thing because python is definitely a more
user-friendly language to learn first which is great that it is so in demand
so next on the list is python and django full stack web developer bootcamp now this is a
course that is around 31 hours almost 32 hours in length so once again it's a full commitment course
uh but i do love how unlike the last two courses i listed it is focusing on python
now i'm sure you're going to stop this and be like well if what is better python or should i learn
javascript with react and angular what should i learn there is no right answer all the courses i
am listing and what they are teaching are super in demand and very transferable so whether you take
a python course or you take a javascript course it's not going to affect if you get the job based
one based on the other if you learn python you can still apply for jobs in javascript and vice
versa it's not going to make or break employers understand that just having the skills of one
means they're very transferable and you can easily pick up another okay back to this course so other
things i really love about this course is it's taught through various different interactive ways
so through video lectures through walk through code projects exercises uh downloadable course
notes i'm a huge per i love when instructors give us notes to download because a lot of times
necessarily i won't not necessarily i'll be referring to them in that moment but saving
them for later has become super handy and it also helps me not have to write so much of my own notes
and once again this course as well has a certificate upon completion which is another
great thing to add to your linkedin okay next on the list is the web developer bootcamp 2022
by colt steele now if you are a udemy regular or has been have been on you to me at all if you are
searching up any technology or coding related topics i'm sure you have heard of colt steel
he has some of the best courses out there in my opinion some of the topics are really well broken
down his ratings are through the roof i mean 4.7 stars out of five and there has been over
two hundred 200 twenty thousand ratings that's crazy to have such a high rating with so many
uh people writing you so you know right there and then this is going to be a great course
one thing that stands out to me about this course is you really get to use some different tools
for example i love that in this course you're actually using postman to
monitor and test different apis and that's something you're going to be doing in the real
world so getting familiar with these tools in a course is something that's really helpful because
then when you are in an interview and someone asks you hey have you used any of these tools have you
used postman you can actually say yes i have i use them to help build this project okay last on the
list but not least on the list is a hundred days of code 2022 web developer bootcamp by my personal
favorite i feel like i said it for every every person but maximilian was one of my first uh i
took i think so many of his courses when i first started out like almost all of them so i have a
huge soft spot for max's courses because they are just so well done and this course i really love
because once again we are getting into it for 79 hours so this is essentially like going to
okay maybe not as much in length but really going to a boot camp or going to a short form boot camp
because you're going to learn everything in and out and you have to be committed to this course
and what i really really love about this course is it breaks it down into a learning path for you so
as you can see on screen here there's days one to five what are we going to learn on day one to five
days six to eight nine to ten and that is something that you don't really see
in a lot of courses and it's such a great way for anyone who really struggles to learn on their own
or stay focused to realize that hey this is what i need to accomplish in these this amount of days
then i can have a break and then move on to the next part otherwise taking a course can
sometimes feel overwhelming to certain people and not knowing when is enough for the day or
when to stop or how much time should i put in this course breaks it down for you which i really love
okay those are my top five courses i would take if i wanted to become a full stack developer in 2022
now i think i've taken many of these courses just different versions of them by the same instructors
uh you know four or five years ago when i was first starting out my coding journey in full stack
development and they are still super valuable for anyone who just wants to even up their skills
who's already in the industry as well okay i hope you found this video super valuable and helpful
and curious to know which course are you going to start taking leave down in the comments i've
linked you to me down below so make sure to go check it out thank you all and i will see you soon
you
