About the author<\/i><\/b>: Archana Bisht is a third-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Chandigarh University. She narrates how she explored different aspects of web development through internships.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

After brushing up on HTML and CSS basics through an online course, I created a project to demonstrate these skills and realised how much I enjoyed the creative freedom that comes with creating websites. Hence, I decided to enhance my skills further and enrolled in Internshala\u2019s Web Development training. In this training, I learned about both front-end and back-end development. I also worked on an e-commerce website wherein I used both front-end and back-end development skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While doing this training, I had also applied for a work-from-home internship at Kartavyam and got selected. At this time, I only knew HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and Javascript, so I would recommend anyone who has these skills to start applying for internships. During this stint, I worked with a team on a dynamic website. Before starting this internship, I did not know much about dynamic websites. Once I got a hang of it, it was exciting, as I could see the changes being reflected on the live website. Since this was my first time doing this, I committed a small error. However, the team lead was understanding and helped me correct the error. I also understood the advantages and disadvantages of using WordPress for web development as the company\u2019s website was being hosted on WordPress. Throughout this internship, I learned a lot of new concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, I interned at Ubantu Foundation. During my time there, I again worked on WordPress websites. I was unfamiliar with a few things, such as plugins and optimising page loading speed, so I self-learned these through YouTube tutorials. After this internship ended, I landed an internship at Germanacharya based on my resume and a short interview. As a web development intern, I worked on creating landing pages for marketing campaigns and webinars. During this stint, I also learned about SEO. Being from a computer science background, I did not know anything about SEO or digital marketing. So working on the SEO for the website served as my introduction to the field of digital marketing, which I found fascinating.<\/span><\/p>\n

During all my internships, I realised that web development requires constant learning and acquired new skills on the job. I worked on different templates, understood the basic structure of a website, learned which animations to use, and implemented various plugins. After these experiences, I have also worked on personal projects such as COVID-19 API tracker. Since I enjoy the process of web development and have been able to improve my skill set, I am planning to choose web development as a career path in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
