► CODING DOJO - SIMPLE PROGRAMMER SPONSOR ◄ https://simpleprogrammer.com/codingdojo What Programming Language Should BEGINNERS Learn FIRST? One of the most common questions I get from new programmers starting out in the field of software development is which programming language they should learn. For some aspiring developers, this question ends up being a stumbling block they never get over. I’ve coached plenty of developers who were always second-guessing themselves or changing their minds, jumping from programming language to programming language, always worrying about making the wrong decision. They stress over the question, “What programming should I learn?”. If you’ve stressed over this, then this chapter is for you. First, I’m going to dispel some of that doubt; then I’ll give you some real practical considerations for choosing your first programming language to learn. So...

► Real Estate: Ownership Interests (Not Into It) ◄ "Real property interests can be acquired and held in several different ways, including as an owner, a possessor, or a party entitled to some future or contingent interest. This article briefly touches on the most common real property interests, and how such interests might be typically applied in “real-world” transactions." "The most common estate for owning a real property interest is the “fee simple absolute,” often shortened to “fee simple.” A fee simple property interest is the broadest estate described under law" (Source: https://www.americanbar.org/newsletter/publications/law_trends_news_practice_area_e_newsletter_home/2011_summer/real_property_interests_deeds.html) What should you do if you were not into Real Estate ownership interests?

► The Technical Skills You NEED To Have As A DEVELOPER! ◄ Have you ever questioned yourself what would be the technical skills you NEED to have as a developer? You know I often talk here on this channel about soft skills and how important they are. However, we need to make sure not to discard the technical skills, which are definitely a big part in everyone's life and career. I mean, if you can’t actually write code and develop software, all the soft skills you learn won’t really do you much good. Perhaps you’d make a good manager or coach, but not a software developer. But if you are reading this section of the book, I’m assuming you are interested in becoming a software developer—or a better one—so let’s talk about the technical skills you are going to need to know. Now, this is a topic that tends to overwhelm many beginning software developers because it can feel like there is so much to know, and it can be difficult to even know where to start. I’m going to try and break it down here into what the most es

► When Should I Optimize An Application/Software? (Before or After Launch?) ◄ Optimization is one of the biggest questions for programmers. Optimization can make or break any project, depending on how it is done. Many programmers spend a lot of time worrying about optimization without even releasing the project to the public.

► Less Research, More Action! ◄ If you want to succeed you'll need to be able to find the right balance between theory and practice. And this theory/practice balance comes in different forms and types. For example: Most developers make the mistake of spending a lot of time searching and studying and only a little portion of its time executing what needs to be done. It definitely created a huge gap between theory/practice, or just between observation/action. So, wanna know how to succeed? Less research, more action! Wanna Do Something?

► How To Become A Software Engineer? ◄ Becoming a Software Engineer is what most programmers/software developers dream of. While it might seem like the same thing, there are some nuances when it comes to becoming a software developer and a software engineer. "Software engineering emerged in the late 1960s as a new engineering discipline concerned with all aspects pertaining to software production. It encompasses concepts, principles, theories, techniques and tools that can be used for developing high-quality professional software. First introduced at the 1968 NATO Software Engineering Conference in Garmisch, Germany, software engineering emphasizes a systematic, disciplined approach to software development and evolution and typically applies to the construction of large software systems (or products) in which teams of numerous software engineers are involved." (Source: https://www.unr.edu/cse/prospective-students/what-is-software-engineering) There are a lot of ways to become a software engineer, but what is
