Mentee Question
Hello Shreyansh I used to be a Software Tester for 3 years in a service based firm. I also have an employment gap of 4 years. I want to transition myself into the Frontend Domain in a Product Based firm. Can you please advise if it will be possible for me to make this transition with a proper plan? If so what should be my main focus while preparation Thanks Subhadip

Hi Subhadip
I have been there. I started as a manual tested in a service based company and transitioned into development role and currently working with Product based company.
It’s definitely possible.
Start with HTML/CSS and Javascript.
Make few projects.
For Javascript you can use below resources :

For HTML/CSS :
You can watch as many YouTube videos as you need.
The idea is to get started and build some traction.
Once you are comfortable with the Javascript and html/css, then you can dive deeper into them.
Small projects :
- Make a tic tac toe game
- Make a simple portfolio
- Make Components in pure JS
- A modal
- A Drawer
- A Banner
- A Tab
These are very simple projects just so that you get to learn how to think and build softwares
Important JS topics :
- Closure
- Let vs const vs var
- Event loop
- How timers and promises work behind the scene
- Objects and how to clone them (shallow vs deep clone)
- Converting from one data types to another
- Array to objects
- Array to sets
- Sets to Array
- Etc
- Different ways to work with methods and why
- How “this” operator works
- How references work in Javascript
For CSS :
- Flex, grid layout
- Display properties
- Position properties
- Responsive web design
I have not mentioned DS/Algo, that you can start once you are comfortable and have few projects.
Leetcode and other platforms with help you here.
Just be consistent.
Spend 1 hr on daily minimum and do create Git repos.
The projects and link to there repos would look good on your CV
Also, Since you have 3 yrs of testing experience, you can leverage that here.
Many of the Product based Companies expect the developers to do the complete end to end testing of their code/ feature.
You can showcase your work as Tester and highlight how this will give you an edge over the others.
Consider the above as the First milestone plan.
Post this you can get into React/Node and Unit testing and others.
