Is it possible to get a job by learning code by self leaning from Internet?

    possible. but instead of just learning, you need to build up ur portfolio. start by doing small projects and improve from there. literally learning how to codes in certain language means nothing if you don't know how to start a project and deploy it

    I'd say its definitely possible. I started learning to code when I was 16, taught myself everything and practiced a lot, and now im 18 and working as a software engineer at a startup incubator. It definitely takes a lot of dedication but if you practice daily then your knowledge will accumulate and you'll be very hireable. Don't forget to put your code on GitHub! People who are hiring want to see that you know what you're doing so they'll probably browse through your profile and check to see that you're at least slightly active

    Definitely doable.

    You can read some such stories on www.freecodecamp.com

    I am today a full time developer, and have an education as datatechnician (Network specialist). I had some few classes with programming, but the teacher was so bad. I did not even understand data types.

    After having my education, I learned by doing. Became good knowledge in Application Performance Management, where I got a job for years doing that.

    In the same time as having that job, I kept teaching myself to be a better programmer. Doing a lot of personal big and small projects. Projects I could put in my portfolio.

    The first developer job I searched for I got, because they loved what they saw from my portfolio and knowledge of performance.

    Yeah man, pretty much just find some project that interests you and build it from the ground-up, all the while stealing as much code as you can from different sources so you can get an idea of different approaches/structures/styles and their pros/cons. But make sure you go through everything deeply enough that you actually understand what's going on-site don't leave any black-boxes in your projects

    It does work, takes time, though. Embrace your debugger and get some books, too! Find some reason to code, other than money. To keep up your motivation over years and years, make it about stuff you care for.

    Yes, but you need to have some projects or at least lots of open source contributions. Something to show off at the interview or for the interviewer to read some code of yours before calling you.

    I've started few years ago by doing some minor freelance jobs, after a month or two i had a tiny portfolio with few 5 star feedbacks which grew over time and i was able to find a job which i've been working on for the past 3 years. Definitely possible, you just have to go through some little not as exciting projects to build a portfolio.

    I'm self-learned too. Though I'm nearly finishing an education where I already knew everything, so it's definitely possible. Have worked freelance for the last 4 years ๐Ÿ˜Š

    I've heard that a Red Hat Certification is a good way to get into the game without formal training? Any thoughts? https://redhat.com/en/services/...
