Software Development and Programming Careers (Official Discussion Thread)

i'm at 44 percent of the course. got to keep plugging away.

I think I made a mistake going for the solutions architect first since I want to do the dev ops path,
But it's a good introduction to AWS, and I might have gotten overwhelmed if I did Dev or Sys Ops first.
Anyway, I'm hoping to finish this course by Monday and do a bunch of practice tests, and sit for the first test at the end of next week.(depending on how the practice tests go lol)

this shyt is really a lot of just understanding and memorizing the way aws works and the way the services work together. Not super technical, just concentrating on giving you a birds eye view of all the offerings.

do some of this when you can. I’ve been going through it and learning a lot just based on trial and error

Another highly rated course that is temporarily free:



Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Programming Course

(Free through 4/7)

This is a great book.

Edit: I went through it once. Going to go back through it with the course.

our brains were not meant to think like computers. No wonder the spectrum brehs kill at this shyt.

No you make the computer think like you.

60% done. These last two sections on message queues and serverless. kicked my ass. Stephane I love you bro but putting two super long sections back to back is a morale killer.
This certification is low key just an advertising brochure for all of the services that aws offers and it's nuts because I feel like I've never worked at a place that branches out past the bare minimum of aws offerings like ec2, s3 and maybe a hosted db and a load balancer.

I'm 99% done with my SQL class. Just have to watch 3 more videos on database triggers and i'm good to go. I brought a advance SQL class on Udemy to work more on joins because I still need more practice. At the same time, i'm going to start look on Indeed and LinkedIn for jobs that require basic SQL skills to see if I can find something better soon so that I can bounce from this contract gig. Can't let a fukking pandemic stop me from advancing.

I switch Python classes and I'm understanding the concepts much better with my new instructor than the one that I had before. I hope that stepping back for a couple of weeks to go over the fundamentals again will pay off in the long run. The grind doesn't stop.

keep it going brotha.
Yup I might take a SQL class myself, link me the ones you are using and see if you can get a referral bonus or something. I've been using Orms so much my raw sql skills are looking

Java was the first ever language I learned and I can't fukk with it because of that. So painful I stick c# now. Java is the ticket to big bucks tho.

I thought I was the only one.

I should have started with a dynamic language
