I invited Emma and Sarah on the podcast to share their experience as brand new developers. We talked about how their new positions have been going, and also their coding journey of finally getting that first position.

This week, I invited a senior backend software engineer to help solidify a path for you to become a backend software developer. We talked about different technologies, database design, data structures and algorithms, and my favorite part - Nick walked...

I invited several Fullstack Academy graduates, who are now software engineers, for a round-table discussion, focused on talking about topics that help junior developers. They also happen to have helped me mentor over a thousand junior developers that have come through our developer Meetup. The entry-level market is becoming more saturated, so we made sure to give tons of advice on how to stand out from other applicants and to not get discouraged.

This was a round-table like discussion where we invited several live Twitch streamers on to discuss a few best practices and common questions in the development community.Hosts and guests:Don: https://twitch.tv/donthedeveloperStephan:...

If you're considering coding bootcamps at this time, this podcast episode is for you! As some of you may know, I graduated from Fullstack Academy years ago. I know what you're thinking. "Will this guy ever shut up about Fullstack Academy?" Yes, yes I will, but just for this episode. Instead I brought on another Fullstack Academy graduate to review it. At the time of recording this episode, he's actually an assistance instructor for the Chicago campus. That means he has up-to-date knowledge of what's going on there.

I had an open and honest review of Northwestern's coding bootcamp in Chicago, with one of their graduates (Brandon). I've met a lot of their graduates in short durations when they stopped by our web development mentorship Meetup, but this was the first time I really got to dive deep into what the experience was like. I actually worked with Brandon shortly after he graduated, so this was a really fun podcast interview!

This episode was all about technical interviews. We dove into our own experiences and followed up with advice for interviews, coding challenges, white boarding, and additional general interview process tips.You can reach Stephan on Twitter...

I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't shut up once in this episode. I spit out an overwhelming amount of information. If you're considering a coding bootcamp, there is so much information packed into this episode, and it's all for you.You can reach...

In 2020, people have been given more opportunities to WFH in light of COVID-19. I have to warn you though - working from home is a different beast. Many people find it hard to be productive at home, and for good reason. I assure you though, just like anything else, you can get better at it and be as productive, if not more then, when you worked in the office. Danny has been working remote for years now and has a ton of advice to share with you!

Often, the last line of defense to make sure your feature meets quality standards before you deploy your code is QA. In this episode, I invited a QA engineer to talk shop. We talked about what it's like to work with QA, and more importantly, what the expectations of both the developer and QA are to have a positive relationship.
