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.

Landing a job as a Software Engineer doesn’t make you a Software Engineer. Building software makes you a Software Engineer. And for that, you don’t need anyone’s permission.

That being said, perhaps the best way to land a job as a Software Engineer is by building real software. That's right - stop working on pretend side projects and build something with goal of generating revenue.

On the latest episode of Develop Yourself we're talking about how "Indie Hacking" is perhaps the best way to attract companies as a new developer.

Listen along as we walk through the 6 steps to starting your own "Indie Hacker" project:

1. Setting a goal
2. Finding a partner
3. Brainstorming ideas
4. Creating your MVP
5. Finding your first customers
6. Building in public

Harsh Patel is perhaps the most successful Coding Bootcamp CEO ever. He started MakerSquare which was acquired by Hack Reactor, which was acquired by Galvanize and he was made CEO of all of them.

Unlike some of the disreputable bootcamp news you hear from time to time, Harsh has always been driven by outcomes and even played a part in starting CIRR, the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting.

As you'll hear about in this episode of Develop Yourself, these days Harsh is working on a project to prepare Software Engineers for a transition to Web3 (crypto, etc.) at hackerdao.xyz.

Landing your first job as a Software Engineer is one thing - but progressing to Senior level is a different challenge entirely.

On this episode of Developer Yourself, Peter Elbaum, who graduated from a Coding Bootcamp in 2016, will walk us through his journey to becoming a Senior Software Engineer and will detail what he believes make a "senior" vs. a "junior".

Additionally, we walk about the job search, "Indie Hacking" and ultimately why something are just more important than any of this.
