hey pals

thinking about doing a career switch and getting into software engineering because i'm getting kinda bored and frustrated with my current career.

started a tutorial and am enjoying it so far.

any tips / recommendations for someone new ? probably going to start with web development and see where I can go from there.

thanks friends, hope you're well. figured some of you may be able to share insight.

thanks,

dan

hackerrank and codecademy are free alternatives

coding is a lot of problem solving if that's your thing

your coding ability, like any other skill, decays if you don't do it frequently.

don't be scared to write bad code, you can make it more efficient as you learn

programming is a huge field, specializing is common

Hey - Im a developer myself IRL. I would take a look at some learning websites:

teamtreehouse.com (You have to pay a monthly price but this is SO great for beginners I can't recommend it enough. It's great for all levels but they have tons of stuff for ppl just starting out)

egghead.io (more advanced)

the devs at my company seem like the most relaxed of everyone I work with. I yearn for relaxation.
