Obviously, you've heard of  "crypto" and "web3", but can you define them?

Do you know what "blockchain" is?

Did you know that as a beginner, you can and should get involved in coding on web3 projects?

Today crypto expert Brian Schuster is going to break all of this down for us and explain how you can take action to get involved, right now.

AI Bootcamp (NEW) - for software developers who want to be the expert on their team when it comes to integrating AI into web applications.

In this episode, we speak with Louie Bacaj. Louie joined Jet.com when it had fewer than 20 engineers, stayed through its acquisition by Walmart, and rose to become Director of Engineering for Walmart Pharmacy.

But despite the promotions, learning, and excellent pay, Louie recently made the decision to walk away from it all and bet on himself. In our conversation, Louie and I get into the engineering career ladder, being a partner to the business side of an organization, building an audience, and what he's up to now.

You're sure to learn a ton from this chat. Enjoy!

Each month, Develop Yourself's co-hosts (Aaron and Peter) will be checking in with each other, in part to talk through how they've each quit their Software Engineering jobs to pursue entrepreneurship, indie-hacking, self-employment, etc.

This episode is the backstory on how and when we quit and how we got the guts to pull the trigger.

If you're listening to this episode, you probably want to learn to code. But, you might be overwhelmed and wondering how to learn or where to start.

Thankfully, the best-articulated strategy I've come across for learning anything is dead simple: do the real thing.

In this episode, we talk through the core tenets of this idea as well as approaches for applying it when learning to code.

What do Software Engineers actually build, and how? Primarily, they build "web applications" (think, Twitter, Gmail, Coinbase, etc).

On this week's episode of Develop Yourself, we're going deep with a beginners step-by-step guide into how a web application is built.

We'll talk about the languages, tools and frameworks that it takes to build a web application, but more important, we'll give you the context necessary to learn your next skill that will eventually lead you to becoming a front-end, back-end or even full-stack developer.

Since learning to code by building custom Myspace pages as a kid, Wes Bos has gone on to build some of the world's most popular online courses for web development while hosting a top-ranking web dev podcast.

In this episode we get a peek into Wes' life, what motivates him, and how at the end of the day he just wants to figure out how to code more.

As the new year is in full swing, many of you are undertaking learning how to code. For that reason, our latest episode of Develop Yourself is called "Advice for Beginners".

After 7 years of teaching people how to code from scratch, full time, I've come up with a repeating list of soap-box suggestions that are proven to save you some serious headaches.

Today's podcast guest is a special one for me. Originally from Chile, Rony Rosenberg was a student in the very first class of the first coding bootcamp I started in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2015. More than 6 years later, Rony is an accomplished engineering leader and continues to fall in love with new technology.

Listen to hear his journey and to get a picture of what life could look like down the road for beginner developers.

2022 is around the corner - do you have your goals mapped out? Is the year that you finally take the next step to becoming a Software Engineer?

For the last 10 years I've been actively setting goals and have read most every book I can get my hands on in regards to habits, processes, goals, life planning, you name it - I'm a nerd on this stuff in a borderline unhealthy way.

That being said, in today's episode of Develop Yourself I'm going to walk you through the exact process that I'm  going to go through myself between now and January 1st. If you want to ensure that 2022 is the best then give this one a listen.
