Learning to code? Looking for or starting your first dev job? Let’s break in to tech together!
You want to learn to code and become a professional developer. Maybe you've started taking some free online courses or maybe you're just wondering where to begin. While there are lots of different ways to learn to code and land your first engineering job, we'll layout a basic roadmap that you can use to guide you on your journey.
If you're writing your first dev resume it can be hard to figure out how to strike the right tone, what to share about your life before coding and how to highlight the skills you have while still being upfront about your beginner status.
To get some answers, we talked to professional devs who have interviewed dozens of engineering candidates about their biggest resume dos and don'ts.
Learning how to code isn't all that different than learning how to read. You wouldn't hand a kindergartner (or hopefully anyone, no offense) a copy of Infinite Jest and expect them to just figure it out. So why should you expect yourself to understand the most complex programming topics or build the coolest apps without taking the time to learn the basics?
