How I Mastered Web Development From the Comfort of My Home
About the Author: Saurabh Yadav is pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from Amity University, Jaipur. A web development enthusiast who enrolled in Internshala’s training on AJAX, JQUERY & JS, he believes in enjoying the comfort of his home during the chilling winters!
Being a student of Computer Science and Engineering, learning and perfecting myself in at least one programming language had always been on my mind. However, as my Engineering days passed, I realized that my interests have inclined towards web development. I first gave it a shot after my fourth semester when I joined TATA CMC academy for learning Web Development in PHP and MySQL.
Having learned those, I thought of learning Advanced Web Development after my fifth semester but the big question was from where! I didn’t want to join CMC again because of two reasons: I didn’t have enough holidays to join an institute for a full-time course, and it was very cold during my holidays. Honestly, who wants to leave the blanket to go out riding a bike in freezing cold and dense fog just to learn some boring coding! Jokes apart, I started looking for something online and gave a try to some popular sites like Codecademy, W3Schools etc. that were free of cost but they just weren’t good enough. That’s when I thought of giving a try to Internshala. They were giving some New Year discounts too, and so, without wasting any time, I decided to register for the training on AJAX, JQUERY & JS. When the training started and I logged in for the first time, I was astonished to see how well the program was structured. There were four different modules and all of them had a fixed time period allotted to complete them. And the best part was that you couldn’t move to the next module unless you had completed the previous one. For people like me, who get bored too easily and tend to skip the boring but important part while moving to the easier one, this feature is a life saver! It also keeps you kind of motivated because when you see a deadline you have this sort of psychological effect that makes you work hard to complete your task before the deadline.
The course delivery is also perfect. The tests after each module give you an insight into what you’ve exactly learned and what you need to revise. Then there were these assignments. For a beginner, they might look like a bit difficult but the appropriate guidance that is given with the assignment is of great help. And trust me, when I completed my first assignment which was to develop a tic-tac-toe game using JavaScript I bragged about it to all my friends! I mean that was so cool. :) It is so much fun developing something and watching it work and that too when you’ve hardly spent 15 days learning that thing! Also, the chat support is awesome. The people sitting on the other side of the computer are really cordial and prompt in replying. I had all my doubts cleared very easily. And this isn’t even the best part. You get to keep all the study material with you for your future reference. This was kept secret when the course had started, and since I didn’t know this then, I was taking screenshots to save them for future! However, Internshala team has a habit of keeping you surprised as they provided a pdf of all the content before the training got over.
At the end of one month, I had learned a lot about JavaScript, JQuery, and Ajax. As the saying goes, “The race is only as good as the start.” This fabulous start gave me the motivation to dig deep into these subjects and learn more about them. And, as a result, I have stepped onto the path of becoming a seasoned web developer. I have developed a complete website for an upcoming startup which will go live in a few days. I would love to thank Internshala and the whole support team for helping me learn this and giving me a proper direction that too without making me come out of my blanket in those freaking winters of north India! Because of you people, I might land a great job in a great company and could freelance as well. I have already told all my friends about Internshala Trainings, and three of them have already joined your Android App Development course and two have joined core web development course. Thanks a ton again.
