DonTheDeveloper Podcast

I've had several people ask me how they could become a mobile developer so I invited on Dave, an iOS Developer, to share his journey. While he attended a coding bootcamp, he also laid out a plan for how he would go about it with the self-taught path as well.  I hope this helps!Dave Jacobsen (guest):Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjacobsen1 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveJacobseniOS--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

IMPOSTER SYNDROME is everywhere. You cannot hide from it. You will experience it at some point. I invited on a few people to talk through some of their own experiences with imposter syndrome as they were trying to become developers (or focus on data). If you feel like you just aren't capable of becoming a developer, I PROMISE you that you're not alone. Hopefully, there's a story or piece of wisdom here that'll resonate with you.Russell Anderson (guest):Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/russbot250 Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-a-5201a7159 Eric Jiang (guest): Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-jiang-855a16107 Sydney Romero (guest): Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sydney-romero--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

I invited on 3 graduates from the coding bootcamp Coding Dojo to share their experience with the software engineering program. As usual, my goal is to get past the marketing BS and hear the REAL experiences of graduates. We dove into the pros AND the cons.

I invited on 3 recent graduates of App Academy to share their experiences. These types of review episodes are aimed at getting past the marketing fluff of each coding bootcamp, and diving into real, authentic experiences from 3 real graduates. I was completely wrong about App Academy. This ended up being one hell of a conversation.

I invited on 3 recent graduates of the coding bootcamp, Flatiron School, to share their experiences at the program. This review is meant to get past the marketing fluff and dive into 3 REAL student experiences. We dove into a LOT in this episode, from the curriculum to even things like questionable clauses with their contracts.

I invited on 3 graduates from the coding bootcamp, General Assembly, to share their experiences with the program. All 3 graduates ended up having pretty different experiences with different parts of the program. We definitely dove deep into the pros and cons of the curriculum, instructors, projects, and outcomes. Given that General Assembly has no previous data with Cirr.org, DEFINITELY challenge the self-claimed outcomes. If admissions can't handle you digging into the details of criteria that would exclude students from their self-claimed outcome data, that should be a red flag. For all prospective students, I hope this helps with your decision!Guests:Brittany Bui - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittanymbui Chace Zanaty - https://www.linkedin.com/in/monsoud-zanaty-93559b212Kole Deighan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kole-deighan--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

I invited 3 graduates from Code Chrysalis, a coding bootcamp in Tokyo, Japan, to share their honest and transparent experiences with the program. We went deep into the pros and cons. I loved that everyone here had fairly different opinions about what they actually liked and disliked about the program. One of my favorite parts was talking about how progressive American culture seems to be seeping into other countries. Is that a good or bad thing? Maybe it's time Americans stop trying to force their beliefs into every culture around the world. That's how I feel. What do you guys think?Guests:Yukimi Otagiri - https://www.linkedin.com/in/yukimi-otagiriMichael Metcalf - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-a-metcalfFrancis Gaudreau - https://www.linkedin.com/in/francis-gaudreau--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
