I&#x27;ve been out of work about 2 years where I previously worked developing embedded SW for an Avionics company in the Ada programming language for 9 years.  Avionics has pigeon holed me into that field of engineering.<p>I&#x27;m wanting to transition into some form of Web Developer.  There are many opportunities for Javascript developers as it is the highest rated keyword on Indeed.com in Denver, where I live.  In addition Java keyword is ranked very high as well.<p>Thus far I&#x27;ve been taking a Full Stack Web Development course on Coursera and getting certificates that I can add to my linked-in profile.  (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.coursera.org&#x2F;specializations&#x2F;full-stack)<p>I feel lost, in that I am not sure if this will be enough to get a job, let alone an entry-level job (which there isn&#x27;t many listed).  It would be nice to get a job where I could get paid to learn but that seems out of reach.<p>With my experience as a Software Engineer working on embedded software I am wondering if this will give me any sort of credit towards landing a job in Web Development, whether it is back-end or front-end or both.<p>What would you guys say I should focus on doing?  Almost every job tends to request 2 or more years experience using the various technologies used in full-stack development.  Should I focus on just one part (front-end&#x2F;back-end)?  Should I keep taking classes or start working on a project that I can show employers?  Any advice is appreciated!  Thank you.
