A panel-style discussion with two different perspectives: a self-proclaimed code newbie and a coding instructor! Mina is an aspiring Web Developer, self-learning CSS, and Javascript. Shruti, Engineer at Paypal, is on a mission to make JavaScript and GraphQL development easier. From Javascript, front end, and 100 days of code, to community, skills for the job hunt, and staying motivated - you won't want to miss this discussion. In this episode we covered:
- Share a bit about your journey, how did you get into tech/development?
- When getting started, how did you determine what type of developer you wanted to be, which languages or tech stack to start with?
- What are your main tips, dos, and don'ts, for code newbies? What's important to remember throughout the journey?
- What about jobs - is it important to know right away when you start coding what you want to do with your career? How can you differentiate yourself in such a competitive market?
