No Zero Days: My Path from Javascript Newbie to Full Stack Developer at Age 30

In this article, I'll share a complete strategy for a complete beginner to learn the basics of JavaScript quickly and complete small projects.

Over 40, With No Technical Background, This Is How I Learned Javascript in 2 Weeks

If you're thinking about becoming a software engineer, but haven't decided what to do this article answers common questions about bootcamps & self studying.

Self study or Coding Bootcamp - What's the Best Option for You?

If you’ve gotten started programming with HTML and JavaScript (JS), you know how easy JS is to use. The interface is right at your fingertips. You can easily access your entire web page with simple commands. 

Is Node.js Worth The Hoopla?

There is something wrong with education, particularly higher education.

The Problem with Education is a Problem of Incentives

A coding bootcamp does not mean you will have a successful career as a software engineer. But the coding journey can make you a better person. Here's why.

A Bootcamp Won’t Make You an Engineer

As the name implies, pair programming is where two developers work using only one machine. Each one has a keyboard and a mouse. One programmer acts as the driver who codes while the other will serve as the navigator who will check the code being written, proofread and spell-check it, while also figuring out where to go next. These roles can be switched at any time the driver will then become the navigator and vice versa.
Though my experience in an online school, we did remote pair programming which we had 2 sets of computers and the navigator had to share their screen for the driver to see and vice versa.

Benefits of Pair Programming

In software engineering, Creational Design Patterns deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation. The basic or ordinary form of object creation could result in design problems or added complexity to the design. Builder Design Pattern in C++ solves this specific problem by separating the construction of a complex object from its representation.

Dependency Inversion Principle in C++ is the fifth & last design principle of a series SOLID as a Rock design principles. The SOLID design principles focus on developing software that is easy to maintainable, reusable & extendable. In this article, we will see an example code with the flaw & correct it with help of DIP. We will also see guideline & benefits of DIP inclosure of the article.

In this article I'll be walking you through the complete process of availing and unboxing the Github's Student Developer Pack. This article is especially for developers who are currently in enrolled as a student in some University or College. And if you are Student, Github's Student Developer Pack is one of the best resources that you can avail as a Student. It will help get students start out as developers.

Tony Delgado is a Puerto Rican-American software developer, businessman, activist, philanthropist, and tech entrepreneur who has started multiple online and software-based businesses. He is the founder of Disrupt, an online media, and education company that has leveraged the power of social media and technology to transform the lives of the students all throughout Latin America. Tony is on a humanitarian mission to help the 3 million people who live on the island of Puerto Rico, by teaching the principles of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. He thinks the word "nerd" should be considered a curse word in school, as it shames kids from being smart and excelling in life. He wants to change young people's mindsets and make them become open-minded and have a different view of technology and the opportunities it contains.

This is the second part of a five-part series about SOLID as Rock design principle. The SOLID design principles, when combined together, make it easy for a programmer to craft software that is easy to maintain, reuse & extend. Open-Closed Principle(OCP) is the second principle in this series which I will discuss here with minimalistic example in Modern C++ along with its benefits & generic guideline.

About a month ago I started Microverse’s Technical Curriculum and two days ago I finished its first module, HTML and CSS.

I decided to write this post before being aware of the recent hit pieces against Lambda School (LS) that have been published around (particularly this one by The Verge and this one by New York Magazine). In the light of these two pieces, I think the timing is perfect to take a journey of what going through LS was like for me. I was enrolled last year in the 19th cohort of the WEB course and just graduated last November. I hope this post can help other potential students make a more informed decision.

Going Through Lambda School

After training 100s of developers at multiple bootcamps, I believe it is my responsibility to share my learnings on what makes an excellent student and what steps you can take to survive and thrive in an intensive <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/software" target="_blank">software </a>development bootcamp.

Coding is partly about changing the way you think, so let’s start now. Let’s question how we think about coding bootcamps.

<a href="https://www.bradleyserlis.com/" target="_blank">Bradley Serlis</a> was working in human resources at various tech companies in the Bay Area. He always felt like an outsider. The companies he worked for made really cool products, but he was so far removed from actually building those, he may as well have been working somewhere else. He longed to get closer to the product, to build something himself, and to feel like he was really part of the team.

The Secret Sauce of Coding

A few days ago marked my first year as a software engineer, or as we like to say it here, my IFTTTerversary. It’s been an amazing first year, and I thought I’d reflect on some of the important things I’ve learned as someone starting out in this industry.
