Career Changes into Software Development

Hi everyone,

I'd love to hear any stories about how any of you guys successfully transitioned from your old jobs into software development.

This would be great inspiration for new programmers or those preparing to break into the industry.

Tell us:

1) What you used to do?

2) What your first job entailed ie where, what technologies you worked with, your roles, and what type of development ie front end, web dev, etc

3) What your journey was to get from where you were to securing that first job.

4) Would be great to hear what you are doing right now, what you working on? How have you progressed?

5) And what are your plans for the future?

Can't wait to hear you guys' stories ❤😁

Project Ideas and Career Development

bobby.j iveson@gmail.com — Sun, 02 Feb 2020 17:31:49 +0000

Hi everyone,

I'm new to DEV.to this is only by second post on here and I'm a beginner developer.

I'm planning to break into dev. Industry sometime in the 2021.

I've been coding for some time now but feel frustrated as I've not really built any substantial projects or software other than a few small console applications.

In the last year I've got a few certs in HTML5, CSS3 and I've just got my first Java cert OCA. But no personal projects to showcase my skills.

Any ideas on some small, simple apps I can create and also what is the best way to showcase these projects to potential employers. I hear GitHub is the best way to do this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Bobby
