Hello.
For the last couple of months I've been learning web development; so far I've gotten the hang of the BASICS of PHP, and HTML, and other languages like JavaScript, SQL, JQuery, etc. and I've managed to produce some very simple websites/apps, but I have absolutely no "real world" experience. I realize I still have a long way to go, but my goal is to break into the industry, and ultimately work as a freelancer. So, I seek your advice. I'd be grateful if someone could just point me in the right direction, and show me where I could get some work experience. Do you perhaps know someone who needs assistance with a small project? I realize I wouldn't be of much use, but I'm willing to practically do anything. The purpose isn't to earn money, - not yet - I simply want to expose myself more to the field. Where could I start?
Thanks.
