I had the privilege of addressing the audience at WordCamp Wellington 2014 this weekend where I shared my journey to becoming a Front End Web Developer and passed on some of the ideas I have about what skills and tools you need to go from someone who tinkers about with their site to someone who's turning out great websites with professional standards. For the record, I don’t think that this is the only way to get on that road, this is basically my story and how I’ve got to where I am, working full time as a freelancer, working exclusively doing website development on WordPress. Maybe you'll find some parallels in your journey, maybe you'll be able to identify where on the time line you are, and pick up some tips to take you from there further into the wonderful world of the front end.
