Ask HN: What to learn to become employable, starting from zero?
Hi.
I intend to learn web developement, but I am not limiting myself to this and so I am open to other options.
While I would love to learn web development, I am afraid it will hinder me to do back-end work, if that is something I end up finding interesting in the future.
My question is basically, what exactly should I learn to become employable in Europe? Preferably England or Switzerland. I have no degree, and I would be creating a portfolio from scratch. Exactly how low are the requirements?
At the moment I intend to learn: Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML5 CSS3, Javascript, jQuery. Is that really enough?
