Foot in the Door: How to Get the Best Jobs in the Industry as a Self-Taught Programmer
Nadya Primak, author
Trying to break into the tech industry? No computer science degree? About four years ago I was in your very shoes. I graduated college with an art degree and quickly realized that being a full time artist was probably not going to pay the bills. Design seemed like a possible alternative, but I didn't like working with clients. So I decided to try programming. I loved games ever since I was little and I loved to build things and show them off, so I started coding some simple games and apps to get started. Then I applied to some entry level software developer positions, , but nobody called me back. I knew I needed training, connections, a portfolio, something more. In this book you will learn: - how to adopt the programmers mindset to tackle difficult coding challenges -strategies to help figure out coding resources that fit your learning style - a heads up for what kind of problems you will face along your learning journey -how to calibrate your BS detector to avoid abusive managers - ways to solidify knowledge and receive acclaim by mentoring others -coping with imposter syndrome and transition anxiety - fitting time for coding into a busy schedule
