3 Projects You Should Not Have in Web Developers Portfolio | Engineer

alright guys in this video we are going to be talking about three things that you shouldn't have in your portfolio in 2020 so let's get started guys hey guys my name is Joe Santos Garcia aka I do this aku boy a cake coating face.com make sure you subscribe make sure you like this video and let me know what you think about this video ok so let's get started alright let's just get right to it because people is probably gonna be pissed off right now three things that you should not have in your portfolio in 2020 and I'm telling you right now because I love you I'm gonna tell you the truth about this alright so listen I do not want to see somebody with a JavaScript calculator okay and everybody knows that everybody things like man Joe you hate JavaScript calculators why you hate the JavaScript calculators a great project yes it's a great project to practice and to do it on your own time okay I've never seen somebody get higher off a JavaScript calculator if you do know somebody that got hired because they have a banging scientific calculator that they created with JavaScript let me know okay nobody gets hired what the hell okay because nobody is getting paid to create calculates what people care about is whatever applications right you have a form that submits to a database right that is more beneficial than a JavaScript calculator you having a animation that's done with gee SAP right some type of I don't know slides some sliders or you know as you scroll some parallax those I don't know something right now you do with JavaScript right that's better than a JavaScript calculator okay it's just gonna look better for your portfolio okay when you have a JavaScript calculator it tells me the employer right the CEO the developer the senior developer that's looking at your portfolio that hey this is a guy that's just starting he hasn't even done any websites for anybody okay cuz the moment you start doing websites and applications for other people you're gonna have real things to show for you're not gonna have little JavaScript calculators basically screams at the person like hey this guy is a beginner okay and that's not what you want to show to people you want to show that hey I've been around you know you want to be part of the cool kids like hey I've been around I thought application a couple of times I've done PHP I thought no J yes I done so Ruby on Rails man I've even done some Java you know it means like hey that's what you want to show to people you don't want to show like by the way I did a little calculator you don't want to show that okay so definitely don't out have a JavaScript calculator number two don't add no JavaScript games to your portfolio you're getting higher to become a web developer you're getting higher to come in and build websites we want to see websites we don't want to see that you know how to create a little memory game all right nobody wants to see that now you can have a game but it has to be a game that can show your skills and show you a range of skills as a developer as a programmer okay I seen a girl on Twitter and anybody knows her name please put her here or below I saw her on Twitter I think she had there like a blog post on dev on I don't know what's the name of that community I think it's called death or something like that but she created a game which was on the browser which connected to your camera and I don't know if you guys have seen this a virtual reality game that you go like this and you know you you slice up the boxes that come your way right she actually created that on the web right pretty much created the same type of game but on the web and then what's cool about it is that you don't need a controller you don't need anything all she did was connect to the API of the camera connects who I believe machine learning you know following the person's hands and you can pretty much slice the boxes that's coming to you with your hands right now that's something that I was impressed I was like damn she's really going hard right and that shows me like then this person was really good okay now if she was succumbing be like hey guys I'm check out my you're not getting kudos for that I'm just being honest with you I'm just gonna be a hundred percent honest with you you're not gonna get kudos for that okay your portfolio needs to be something that Wow's the other person right you might even have a flappy bird game right you've got the assets of flappy bird things like open source or something and you could create a flappy bird that will actually show that you know more about programming then you're creating a little memory game okay it just doesn't show anything you could even create a clone of Super Mario Bros and created with phaser Jes and create multiple levels and then from there put that as part of your portfolio now some of you guys probably think like man this Joe you want me to do senior level things well that's the level that you want to take it if you're going to show games on your portfolio okay especially when you want to become a web developer you don't say you understand what I'm trying to show you here I want you guys to succeed I want you guys to have something that you can't really show to people and it's gonna almost guarantee you the job okay that's the type of projects that you want to have now number three I know some of you guys is gonna sacrifice me right now I'm just gonna somebody mean this put me a autocross right now because I'm about to get sacrificed do not and I mean do not put the Yelp cap on your freaking portfolio bro I'm telling you guys ahead of time right I believe coal steals web developer bootcamp course which is like I don't know how much it goes out ends like $10 now it's like 13 or whatever but it's like six years old okay it's a I believe it's like six years old right and then not only is that old but at the same time there's hundreds of thousands of people that have taken the same courses you now I'm not saying the course is bad because it's not it's a great course and I reckon a million times one right it's co-ceo thing to fill your link I might even just put a link below I might get some bread out of that you're gonna be saying nobody's gonna say don't go to Co Co he's pretty legit so cool God but what I'm saying is that project everybody has it so when you show up to a job interview and the first thing that's pop up for somebody like hey man let's see your projects hey you got a little bootstrap website you got a little landing page maybe an HTML email site there right then I don't know where it's a freaking yellow cap right it doesn't scream out to the person hey I'm a professional it shows hey guys I'm just some guy learning on udemy and by the way if you want to hire me hire me in everything like you do not want that feeling to be out there you don't want that energy that vibe to the out there you want people to think like them this guy's legit this guy has worked for this company he's worked for this freelance clients he has done this type of applications he created this amazing game you know this guy is ready for primetime you don't want to show up with the project that let's say out of 400,000 people that have taken the course from cold steel right three hundred fifty five thousand of them have down on their portfolio everybody knows is part of a course okay every single person here knows it's part of a course this times that people put it on a portfolio and they sent to me like to review it and there's people just popping up but I hey man this is from Coastie hope you'll see it in the comment section they're like hey man this is real cold steel hey man this new Yelp cap hey man this isn't that you gotta sound like you do not want to be that guy right you don't want to be part of the 350,000 people that also took the course and also have it in their portfolio you want to be the guy that has original projects right and if you do have projects from a course you don't want to have projects from a course that three hundred fifty five thousand people have taken the same course and they have it in their portfolio you get what I'm saying I'm just trying to be honest with you you guys and you want me to be honest and you want me to play around with you you're gonna say so that's what its gonna actually help you out in 2020 okay those three things right first of all no JavaScript calculators right and don't try to scheme it cuz I know some of you guys yeah but well he said not JavaScript calculators I'll put in a Python calculator but nobody cares about calculators bro okay number two don't put a BS JavaScript game same thing with a BS Unity game that the assets look horrible that it doesn't work that the guy is dying every time that he even gets close to the edge now you gotta make sure you create something that is gonna wow the person your portfolio is supposed to be the best projects that you have if you're if you're about the projects that means that project is not supposed to be there it's better to have two solid projects then you having seven eight garbage projects in there okay I'm telling
