My Road to the Front (Up)


After all, I did not choose it, but did Android development. Anyway, Android is a mobile front end, with the word “front end”, is also a close relative, do Android development, this is a future story, after all, AT that time I, I haven’t touched Android yet, I’m still working on Html tags, Css styles.

Graduation that year in July, a man carrying a bag alone came to the provincial capital of zhengzhou, zhengzhou is one of the biggest reason why choose near home, in zhengzhou, the sun is shining, the sun like fire, steaming baked the earth, is it a hot word, take more than two hours of bus, came to the zhengzhou, temporary lodging in a good relationship between classmates that ZhongMou, far away from downtown, It takes about two hours by bus.

Resume again, I hesitated for a moment, didn’t choose web page creation, because their own level, estimate there will be no company want me to, but chose their network popularization still can be, well, on the second day go to zhengzhou, as the interview went to a hospital, you don’t listen to wrong, is the hospital, but also a cancer hospital, interviewed me is an eldest brother, Resume also did not see, asked some basic situation, let me come over the next day, the first society, see so “appreciate their own”, without saying anything, agreed, to the salary is 1800 yuan a month.

Find a job, so he moved away from the classmate, in the north three-ring Chen village found a standard room, looking for a house, find a night from noon, when the culture road is still in the road, that answers sorching summer, the dust float in the sky, that kind of feeling, I think you can understand, well, find the rent special cheap, more than 240 a month including utilities, Chen village is now demolition, At that price, it’s gonna be hard to find. At that time, I was very satisfied. I bought an electric rice cooker in the evening and cooked a hot pot by myself. I was very full.

Zhengzhou at that time is not the subway to go to work, bus or preferred, first day, also good, is relatively good atmosphere in the company, can’t say, it should be said that a small group, is a generalization of the contracted hospital, director of the business, a day of work, are soft wen promotion, “what is this what cancer how cure”, “a good remedy for what cancer hospital”… “, the same title party, such work, is really exhausted physically and mentally, fortunately, go back from work, they can do something like, continue to consolidate the front-end knowledge, after all, there is a glimmer of their vision for the front end.

In addition to the label style, in order to be able to create some cool little animation, oneself also laboured at Flash at that time, although say now H5 heyday, will Flash the momentum of the pressure down, however, at the time, the charm of it, is definitely a stand out, therefore, oneself also specially bought a Flash of books, every night after work, while watching, I make it on my computer, and I dream of becoming a Flash god one day.

Hospital work for a month, for reasons of his own, let me choose to resign, perhaps the young guys, maybe is the mood low, after all, for the job, just a place, did not intend to for a long time, still want to do something like their work, web design, web production, learned so long, to be honest, at this time, JavaScript hasn’t caught my eye yet.

The next period of time, while looking for a job, while learning, Flash learning feel almost the same, I began to review PS knowledge, the reason why I said review, because I had learned in school before, but, at that time, I did not know. As for why I want to learn Photoshop, MY answer is that I want to dabble in some work, such as web design. Found a lot of videos, from the basic learning, drawing, resizing, slicing… “, learn, learn, but found that they do not have the inspiration, web design seems, is not suitable for me, or before that sentence, “ALTHOUGH I do not know what can do, but I know I can not do”, now try to figure out, still quite reasonable.

Gave up the web page design, only one road, web production, looking for a lot of examples, see the source code, than doing, back and forth, and saw about a week, while the middle do a lot of pages, but the quality is not very good, some looked at all in the Google browser, the IE suddenly misplaced, then I don’t know the browser compatibility, just do it, To implement functionality, you can see how weak the foundation was at that time.

That period of self-study days, no work, all day immersed in the rental house, watching video, check information, if hungry, go down to eat two things, then takeout has not fire up, if, like now, estimate will not go out. After a period of silence, when I felt that my level should be about the same, I looked at the requirements on the recruitment website, only to find that most of them need to master JavaScript, but I, but still stay at the bottom of JavaScript, only know its name, do not know its capacity.

What to do, learn. I always thought that Html and Css were painful when I first got to know them. When I saw JavaScript, I realized that it was even more painful. When I first learned it, I was still confused with a word, so that I did not know what var and alert were for. When I saw if and for switch, I was completely confused. That kind of confusion is like reading a book from the sky, so self-learning is painful, and self-learning without foundation is even more painful.

After learning JavaScript, I opened the door of my own programming language. During that period of time, I was constantly knocking on my brain, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. I still remember the first alert, when the browser popped up a word, I immediately felt so magical.

Although I learned JavaScript and felt that I could make some web pages, I did not choose to go all the way at that time. Instead, I chose to learn Android and do Android development. My idea at that time has erased the gears of history. Android’s salary is much higher. Choosing Android does not mean that my front-end career has come to an end. On the contrary, I feel that I have just begun.

Four years of programming career, I learned the first programming language, JavaScript should be the first, it let me know what is on, variables, what is identifier, data type, what is operator, function and so on, for the future of other programming languages, provides a convenient bridge.
