HistoryI started freelancing during those times where I was positioned as a Software Quality Assurance Tester in one of Cebu’s esteemed Research and Development company during my On-the-job-training days which lasted for a year and 6 months. I was never satisfied with the amount of acquisition I attained from SQA, and decided to venture freelancing hoping to learn, learn and learn!
I started making myself visible by joining through a couple of forums, and started with only the HTML-TABLE skills. You can check out rangana on these forums where I used to actively lurk:
When I joined the board, my goal was to help fellow members, and learn at the same time. However, it wasn’t so easy. There were members better than me and had been in the field for a couple of years and truly, was far more better.

Helping-learning process is far better than seating at the class for another set of theoretical lessons.
HTML was my forte during that time, and knowing only HTML won’t make you “marketable”. So, at least, I have to deal with CSS and learn Javascript altogether. I had to sleep a maximum of four hours for I had to wake up early and go to school… and it’s tiresome and definitely dull, but it was my passion which fueled up my zeal to continuously improve myself.
These tools are what I consider a-must for optimized web development:

The more you learn, the more you’ll realize there’s much more to learn

before sailing out, because the day was fine and the [...]
