In my honest opinion, go work with an established design/development firm if you are a newly minted coder, simply due to the fact that these skills in full practice make us a great "technician" but not a "project manager". The business track on treehouse at the end of the development course goes into full detail, but frankly experience is learned through multifaceted procedures, projects and time.
Best Regards,

Courses Plus Student 1,456 PointsYeah i hope i can do that way. But i live in third world country and many people in my hometown doesn't yet interested in web or mobile development. Plus many people here doesn't know anything when i'm talking about the programming. so that's why i need to make money online. any others good website to find potential customers?
