Not many people realize this, but no-code and low-code apps are quite sophisticated now. You can create both web and mobile apps with little to no code. I brought on a no-code developer to share his journey in this field. We talked about quite a few things:Who is this career right for?What are no-code and low-code apps actually capable of? And what are their current limitations?What paid opportunities exist for people that want to get into this field?The progression of this movement over the next 3-5 years.Will this movement replace software engineers?And additional advice sprinkled in throughout the episode.For those just wanting to break into tech, this episode is for you.

Blockchain. Web3. Decentralization. What does it all mean!? I'm still figuring that out and getting more comfortable with it all. I'm especially interested in learning about what opportunities exist for aspiring developers and professional developers alike.So, I invited on a blockchain developer that definitely has a passion for paving the way for web3 and decentralized technology. We dove into what his day-to-day was like, how you can become a blockchain developer and all of the different career paths and technologies involved.I'll level with you, on a personal level, this stuff excites me. I'm a huge fan of decentralizing a lot of our data and infrastructure and what that'll even look like in the future. Anyways, if you're curious about how to get into this area of software engineering, you should definitely check out this episode.Roberto Cantu (guest):Twitter - https://twitter.com/0xRobertoCantuLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcantu92---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?

I invited on a software engineer in test to talk about both what his job is like and how to actually become one. We ended up diving into so much more - different types of testers, certifications, programming languages, testing frameworks, and of course who would even be good for this role. If you're interested in writing automated tests or are even an aspiring developer that wants to use this position as a stepping stone to becoming a traditional software engineer, this episode is for you.James Morin (guest):Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesmmorin---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?

Ever wonder what it's like to be a WordPress developer or even how to become one? I invited one onto the podcast to share his journey and tons of great tips for aspiring developers that want to follow the same path. The best part is that he's completely self-taught! We all know how hard that path is, and he made it happen. It turns out that WordPress development has quite a bit of depth and a few different languages and frameworks you can pursue - JavaScript, ReactJS, and PHP. Also, WordPress development seems to have a more lenient barrier to entry in terms of what you need to learn initially. If you're just trying to break into tech and you enjoy coding, this episode is for you.Micah Wood (guest):Website - https://wpscholar.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/wpscholarLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/micahwood---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?

Hello developers! I can't emphasize enough how many different career paths there are for you if you enjoy coding. If you want to mix your technical skills with a passion for UX or even write internal documentation for developers, have you considered becoming a technical writer? I brought on a technical writer to share more about what her job is like and how she landed her position. She actually started off going to a coding bootcamp with the goal of becoming a software engineer, but found something she enjoyed even more. There's tons of advice packed into this shorter episode. If you're still exploring tech career options, this episode is worth checking out.Kailana Kahawaii (guest):Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kailanakahawaii---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?

If you're interested in breaking into tech with a coding position, have you considered an email developer position? The minimum you have to learn is much less than a traditional software engineering position and apparently, it pays pretty well. I invited on Ivan, an email developer that's been doing this for a while to share what he thought about this path. We dove into what the day-to-day is like, as well as really helpful advice for those that might want to pursue this.

I know that many of you would love to work for yourself one day so I invited on an entrepreneur to share some advice. Little did I know he would have so much to share! He started out with a coding bootcamp; became a mobile developer; and then pursued a few different ventures on his own to try and build up sustainable revenue and work for himself. If you have any aspirations to build revenue on your own, take some time and listen to his journey. There are a lot of gold nuggets of advice in this one.Haris Samingan (guest):Twitter - https://twitter.com/TheHappyHarisYoutube - https://www.youtube.com/c/LearnFlutterCodeLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/haris-samingan-7889b9140---------------------------------------------------🔥 Webdev Career Help - https://calendly.com/donthedeveloper/coaching🎮 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3❤️ Support What I Do - https://www.patreon.com/donthedeveloperDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. ===========================WEBDEV COURSES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:🎓 Learn Frontend - Scrimba (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper🎓 Learn Backend - Boot.dev (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER - Get 25% off your first payment with code "DONTHEDEVELOPER"🎓 Already Experienced?
