Episode 0 – Welcome to Junior Developer Toolbox!

Welcome to the first episode of the Junior Developer Toolbox Podcast! We’re excited to be here, and this episode is all about letting you get to know us and what to expect from the show.

Erin Orstrom is a graduate of cohort 12 from Nashville Software School and has been employed as a junior developer for a little over a year now. She is a big fan of Game of Thrones and weekly group trivia games.

Jason Belcher has just transitioned into his first developer role after years of hard study. He is diving deep into mobile development, enjoys composing music (including our intro theme!), and lives in Atlanta, GA.

Dave Harned is also a self-taught developer and an advocate of sites like freecodecamp, codecademy, and udemy. He lives in Nashville, runs a meet-up group, and recently started his job as a web administrator.

“The moral of the story was I had published something to the web, and I was proud of it, and kind of got hooked, and that was the point I decided I wanted to learn how to do this.”
