Coding Bootcamp

Have you ever heard of a coding bootcamp? They exist! Whether you’re just starting out and looking to learn the basics, or are an experienced professional looking to learn new tools, tips, tricks, and practices, there is a bootcamp for you. Bootcamps essentially teach you what you need to know by showing you how to do it. By actually doing the work, you’re able to understand and learn far better than simply reading about it or watching someone else do it. These bootcamps require a lot of hard work but are only 8-12 weeks long as you are stuffing months worth of learning content into a few weeks. A lot of bootcamp attendees said that they found them incredibly helpful in order to get their foot in the door. By learning the basics of one language, you are better able to understand advanced principles of that language, as well as the basics of others.

Researching Opportunities

Still aren’t sure what type of development to go into? Why not do a bit of research and see what sort of jobs are in demand for app development? This extra bit of homework will give you a good idea of what high end Calgary App Developers are paying, as well as what types of developers are needed, especially if you plan on making a career out of it. It may also give you an idea of what sort of employers there are in your area and the differences between them. Some employers let you work from home, others require attendance in office. Some may provide break rooms, lunches, benefits, flexibility, and many other benefits found at various agencies nearby. Be sure to note your preferred place of employment and note their requirements from job postings, and stay close to any people you meet in classes in the event you can network your way into an interview.
