I've been in the process of making a career change towards front-end development. I've taken several beginning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript courses but am feeling stuck.
I'm not sure where to take all these skills and apply them. I've thought of creating an app for practice, but don't understand the back-end of things. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who has taken front end dev courses and is looking to advance to the next level (where ever that may be)?
Hopefully this makes sense and others have been or are in a similar circumstance. Thanks!
Amit
I would say a great way to learn new stuff is to watch video courses. I've learned a lot from sites like http://www.lynda.com/ and http://tutsplus.com/ since there are courses for everyone - beginners to experts.
I would say, try to get the basics about a CMS like Wordpress, and start developing themes to try out your front-end skills.
If you are interested in some PHP development, I'd recommend to read about it and try out some PHP frameworks that will get you started.

I joined a Front-End development Bootcamp in February, and covering HTML and CSS was pretty easy and I did pretty well with those when we moved on to javascript,we have been learning javascript,for a bout a month or 2, and I am still finding it quite challenging to implement, I understand some concepts, but I really struggle applying them, we have done 1 project, which was to build a to-do app, which I did really bad at, and a to-do app is one of the basics to build when learning JS.
So I took a step back and tried to build a calculator, which, I got the foundation down and had the values of the buttons display in the screen, so manipulating the DOM, I get and can do, but I had to come on stack overflow so many times on how to do something and its getting frustrating that I am not yet able to apply what I have learnt so far with javascript, for a simple calculator, which again is a simple thing to do in JS.
I make it a point to stay away from tutorials,as I do not want to be trapepd in tutorial hell.
Any advice someone can give, I know practicing is the only way, is this part of the journey or am I that dumb to get Javascript?

I'm just starting to learn web development and I've been wondering If I can build solid websites using only HTML, CSS and maybe some PHP.
I don't want anything complicated I wanna start simple just to get used to those languages before starting to learn JS because I feel it's a bit more complicated and I'm not good with programming languages.
I wanna be able to create something like this: http://enactus.org/
I can't comment so i'll post as an answer. So please no down voting.
You can create a website but that site won't be an interactive website. What I mean is that the site will not be able to get data from users and save it in databases (well you can if you wan't to use some php but php is also more on the math, logic and stuffs that you would typically use on javascript.), or buttons that would do stuffs without refreshing the website... So to summarize it if you want to learn website designing first HTML and CSS is a way to go and also can be a great start for beginners like us. And if you want your site to be interactive start learning Javascript and PHP.

I'm looking to find some resources to help me practice my HTML and CSS coding. I'm not having much luck, so I thought I'd post. I'm looking for a website that gives a design mockup, maybe even the image files, and then work it it into functional HTML, CSS, JS and so on; something with code examples to compare with would be great.
If anybody knows of a website like this, I would love to know. thanks in advance.
You can use this three links to start
http://www.w3schools.com/ good resource for html and css
http://css-tricks.com/ realy good resource for css learning
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css
and of course youtube tutorials are my best option for beginers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqvFIuVlyP8&list=PL41lfR-6DnOruqMacTfff1zrEcqtmm7Fv
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=html5+css3+javascript
There are a lot of free psd templates around internet. You can slice them and make your own web site.
Also I recommend online courses like teamtreehouse.com they have online tools to validate your code after lessons. Not full website design but they are always testing your knowledge after each lesson.
Have a look at http://www.w3schools.com/
It lets you practice by entering code and seeing the results right away

So if i excel at javascript than learning what other libraries, languages, framework, business related things would help me improve as a developer and get hired.
I know just knowing js isn't enough and that developer must know some basic stuff like
jquery, css3, html5, etc.
But what else.
I rarely see a job in which it says you need to know javascript there are always a lot of something else.
Well this is not the perfect place to ask this question but to help you I would like to suggest you some options.
If you are aiming to become a full-time front-end developer then along with the Javascript you must have excellent knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JQuery.
Also you must start practicing at least two of the following JavaScript frameworks:
Angular JS,
Node JS,
Grunt,
Dojo,
MooTools.
It would be good to have knowledge of SASS & COMPASS as well.
A good knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator is also required.
Rest you can research yourself and choose as per your choice.
Best of luck!!

One of the interviewers asked to impress him with the JavaScript and CSS skills. He provided a link to two websites and asked to write a JavaScript application (page or pages) that takes content from one or both of these websites and demonstrates my command of jQuery and CSS. It doesn’t have to be useful to end-users, but it should be interesting to programmers.
What interesting things should I write? What would impress you in the candidate?
P.S.
The sites have real-estate information.
So, what would be the best way to read information from a given URL and extract some of it using jQuery?
That interview question is so subjective. What impresses one person might be basic to another. Why not ask a more meaningful question that demonstrates whether or not the candidate actually knows the language.
With all that said and if you really want to work for this company, I would study up on the basics of both js and jquery and really learn how to optimize basic functions. If you had to impress me then you should try to optimize a block of code as best you can without making the code unreadable. There's nothing better than clean, fast and readable code.
