CodeTalkers

The CodeTalkers are back with something different! In this show, Dan Schickerowsky, The Fixer of the software documentation world, tells us how to get into the rewarding, surprising, and eye-opening field of technical writing.
Many people would love to get into technology but don't see themselves buried deep in code all hours of the day. Luckily, coding is not the only skill that's needed to make a software product or run an IT infrastructure. One of the talents that tech companies can't do without is the ability to understand, explain and communicate the big picture of what a software product is meant to do. And the people exercising that talent, producing documentation, are technical writers.
Dan is a veteran of technical, marketing, and creative writing. As a lead writer at a global software company, he joins the Code Talkers to explain how he first got into the field, how he brings unparalleled value to development teams, and how you can get into the career yourself.
Don't miss this episode for yet another completely new angle on code.

Happy Holidays!  Lockdown and disruption has created opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs, coders and professionals.  Digital technology is the enabler of new business models and business continuity alike.  Professionals are realizing that an even greater wave of digitization is approaching and we see a rapid acceleration in companies of all sizes.  

One of the functional areas that’s undergone a super fast evolution has been Marketing.  Startups know they need people that understand digital marketing from a tactical perspective, but most are now realizing they need strategic advice from experts in order to really scale their businesses. Tech companies have special requirements from Marketers, that include everything from niche channel expertise to budget considerations.  Thought leadership is being delivered in new ways such as fractional services.  The fractional CMO model has enabled tech companies to market and achieve scale without massive capital outlays.  This week we’re joined by Roshni Wijayasinha, founder and chief strategist of Prosh Marketing (proshmarketing.com).  Roshni is an incredible marketing leader, startup advisor and Forbes Communication Council Member who has grown her agency into one of Toronto’s top strategic marketing houses.  In the last 15 yrs, she’s worked with global tech companies such as Microsoft, Sony, Kobo & FoxQuilt to help them bring products and brands to market.

We launched the Super Guppy Coding Academy with a singular mission: to empower people through coding skills. The future (and the job market) is going to be even more digital than it is today, regardless of field. That's why we believe it's important to teach coding to school aged children and expose them to tools that they will use for the rest of their lives (even if they don't become software developers).  Coding for Kids is rapidly becoming a popular extracurricular and there's good reason. Tune in to this episode to learn about how our unique learning system gets kids coding faster and more creatively.

We spent the last 7 months talking to software architects, consultants and technology experts.  What did we learn?   Software skills pay.  Ok seriously, what else did we learn?  RPA (Robot Process Automation) and digitization will make many high paying non-tech jobs obsolete.  You may think the digital economy is already here, but an even bigger wave is coming:  big tech is going to consolidate more of its stronghold as a result of the pandemic and digital knowledge will be the key to secure the best roles in every business.   Every company worth working for is going to hire more digital strategists, more software architects and more business people that understand code.   Whether you’re a business professional or a programmer, knowing coding fundamentals will enhance your career path.  We spent the better part of this year building our Coding Boot Camp from the ground up with a one purpose:  Career Enhancement and Skills Development for the non-coder.   Tune in to find out more how we came up with the idea.  We call it the Super Guppy Coding Academy (website).

Earlier this year, just as we were starting the podcast, we had an episode on the No Code Movement and it’s ramifications for enterprise.  Tech media is abuzz with its potential as a means to rapid delivery.   But will No Code be the game-changer that companies are looking for?  Will No Code put millions of developers out of business?  What do smart coders really think about the No Code "Movement"?  To help us answer this question, Martin and I are joined by Computer Science & Applied Mathematics Engineer and Technology Blogger, Mina Pêcheux (minapecheux.com).  Mina’s recent blog post on the Movement explores No Code's potential and its potential to replace the traditional full stack developer value proposition.

Software development skills are a pathway to prosperity for many people, young and old.  But the education model is evolving, with private coding schools becoming an ever effective way to attain those skills.  In this episode, The CodeTalkers welcome one of the leaders that helped launch and start an amazing new genre of Computer School: the modern socially conscious coding institution.  We're joined by Computer Scientist and Embedded Systems Engineer, Alya Amarsy.  Alya is an Educational Instructor and Learning Coordinator for the Ada Tech School, (www.adatechschool.fr), a feminist coding school in Paris, that aims to help all people learn how to code in an open and caring setting using unique learning techniques.
