Software Development Interest

I am interested in the development of software, full stack.

I have always had an interest in making things, and with the technology available now, it has never been easier.

 

There are tons of resources that are available for everyone that I can use to get better at developing. Here are some I’ve found.

  1. Jarvis Johnson, this youtuber was a software developer for many high profile companies, and has a knack for explaining how the industry works and how to be successful in the industry. He is experienced in the field, and has very good advice.
  2. The Daily WTF, this is a blog site that humorously depicts errors and software bugs. This is important to see how not to do things, and although it takes a comedic view on these errors, it is good to be familiar with them as to not fall into the same traps.
  3. Cracking the Coding Interview,  a book that details the common practices of Software companies trying to hire people. It has lots of good information on how to prepare for an interview, how to write your resume and also what to get better at. It has always been helpful in my interviews getting internships.
  4. Review on Software Cost and Effort Estimation Techniques for Agile Development Process. This paper is a study of how Agile development practices work, and whether or not companies should use it. It is important for a Software Developer to know the practices of Agile and to be familiar when to use it and when not to use it. The more knowledge you have about the flow, the better suggestions you may have when planning projects.
  5. News article about Microsoft and Facebook’s push into AI, this is a news article about Microsoft and Facebook and their continued focus on AI and machine learning. It is always important to consider what is popular in the industry as to hone your skills and be more likely to land a job. A huge part of Software development and engineering is always being on top of the latest technology, and being vigilant to the changing environment.
