The Devslopes Podcast with Mark Wahlbeck Devslopes

Hey everyone! In this episode of the Devslopes Podcast we listen to our Web Development mentor Jason talk about his experience and story going through a $10,000 coding bootcamp. Listen how Jason got into programming and even working for Dell as a web developer. Hope you enjoy!

Many people tell me they want to become a full-stack developer.  

I ask them, "Why?" They say, "I'm not sure, but isn't it better than just front-end?"  

The answer to that question is no. But there are reasons why. In this video, I give some insights on when you should learn full-stack development and why you probably should NOT be learning it now.

In this episode, we'll talk about what you should do when you have an app idea. From napkin notes to actually launching the app. We'll talk about what things are important and what things aren't.  

By the end of this episode, you'll known what you need to do to build a successful app or software product.

Python is the most popular programming language in the world right now. So, why do I tell people not to learn it?  

There are multiple reasons for this, but the biggest is that Python doesn't provide a path to success.

 It is a tool and can be used for many things, but it is not ideal if you are a new programmer.  New programmers should pick a path, especially the paths I list in this Episode.

How To Stand Out and Close More Deals as a Freelance Developer

I often have students come to me and say, "Mark, I've sent out 100 resumes, and no one has called me for an interview. What am I doing wrong?"

They are doing A LOT of things wrong. In this video, I show you some VERY SPECIFIC actions you can take that will fundamentally change how you create a resume.

Remember, the goal of a resume or CV is to land you an interview, not to land you a job.

You'll learn the changes you need to make to get your first job interview this week!
