Self-Taught Software Developers #48

-

 

FIGURE OUT YOUR END GOAL - Work for a big company, statup, freelance?  - Web development (frontend / backend), gaming, data science, mobile apps?  - What are you naturally good at?  - Check pay scales, job security, etc. for different types of dev jobs.

CHOOSE A PROGRAMMING LANGAUGE - Figure out which language you should learn for what you want to do - Fundamentals first!  (Save frameworks, etc. for later) - Choose a text editor / IDE and get comfortable with it - You can always switch or learn another language.

Resources and Build a Curriculum Books: Great for Learning Language Fundamentals - Documentation: Best used for reference Source Websites: W3 School, MDN Web DS, Video Course, Y Course: Linda, Courses, etc. - Boot Line Boot camps, Free Team Treehouse - Challenges Website: Cadavers.

FIND A COMMUNITY - Having people to talk to and learn from is very beneficial - Find a mentor if possible - Join an online community -Go to meetups.

CREATE YOUR OWN PROJECTS - Following along with courses is only half the battle - This is where most get stuck and many quit - Your projects do NOT have to be from scratch - Add new features, use the docs as a supplement to figure new stuff out - Look at other people's code that is similar to what you want to achieve - Eventually you won't need to use other projects as a starting point.

Collaborate to open source - Gives you experience with real life plans - Collaborate with other developers - Something for your resume - Learn how to use GitHub

All other boxes should be checked - Prepare for interviews, practice algorithms, create a resume, cover letter, etc. - Search for jobs in your area that are looking for things you know - Apply even if it says degree required Remember ... it is your first job, not your last


Happy New Year

1. Caching 2. Time Complexity 3. Networking basics 4. Cloud Computing 5. Data structures and Algorithms 6. Database and SQL 7. Text editors 8. UNIX 9. Programming languages 10. Scripting languages   Explain  : 1. Caching A cache is stores data, that is hardware or software component so that future requests for that data can be served faster. Without cache no modern web system can runs. 2. Time Complexity Time complexity is the computational complexity that   describes the amount of time it takes to run on algorithm. 3. Networking basics You have to understand the basics of how the network in order to be a good programmer. Through switches, routers and wireless access points, devices connected to your network can communicate with one another and with other networks, like internet. Routers, wireless access points and Switches perform very different functions in a network. 4. Cloud Computing It's the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data s...

Levels of Programming #47

Successful Programmers who are both well-known businesses and around their code - full businesses - probably run full businesses. These programmers have given themselves zero real freedom: the freedom to decide for themselves what they want to do. And that freedom to share with their fellow programmers. This is the level that most programmers need. Reaching this level is often more based on professional skills than programming.    Famous programmer It's also a good place, but not unless you have a day job. You are famous in programming circles. But being famous doesn't mean you can turn a profit and support yourself. Famous is good, but successful is better.   working for a small, well-known technology company, an influential small company, or you may be part of a modest statup team. Anyway, other programmers have heard about you, and you have made a positive impact on the field.   Dead Programmer This is the highest level. Your code has survived and your...

GO • In 2009, Go was released by Google. • Large organization faces coding issues on a daily basis and the aim of GO is managing that coding issues. • Go is an open source language. • makes it easy to build efficient and more reliable software. • Why developers are happy with GO, The main reason is here, Easy to use Simplicity Concurrency features Performance. • GO was TIOBE programming language of the year in 2016. • Influenced by c, Limbo, CSP, Modula, Python, Smalltalk, Pascal and BCPL. ELIXIR • Elixir is designed for building scalable and maintainable application and it is functional and dynamic language. • Elixir appeared in 2011. • Influenced by Erlangen, LFE, Closure, and Ruby. • Elixir is used by companies such as Discord, Pager Duty, Moz etc… • Erlangen functions can be called from Elixir Without runtime impact due to compilation to Erlangen bytecode. • Elixir also provides an extensible design and productive tooling. • Example: i.e.> IO.puts (“Hello World!”) // O...
