The Coding Career Handbook
Course Overview
The non-coding part of being a successful software engineer is very important, but also happens to be very under-discussed.
This is a course about getting great coding jobs and doing well at coding jobs. Especially if you're earlier in your career, there's a lot here that you might otherwise take years to learn, and your manager will never tell you.
This is NOT going to be a convention... See more
How You'll Learn
Hands-on coding environments
You don’t get better at swimming by watching others. Coding is no different. Practice as you learn with live code environments inside your browser.
Faster than videos
Videos are holding you back. The average video tutorial is spoken at 150 words per minute, while you can read at 250. That‘s why our courses are text-based.
No set-up required
Start learning immediately instead of fiddling with SDKs and IDEs. It‘s all on the cloud.
Progress you can show
Built in assessments let you test your skills. Completion certificates let you show them off.
