Oh hey, Happy Thanksgiving December! My last post was a cliffhanger that wound up more suspenseful than intended. And then December exploded and I’ve been busy with no time to blog. But I started down this path, so let’s dive back in. 🙂
Ok, so I was talking about my assumptions going into this year, and I left off at number 4:
- I can learn to code in a year — TRUE
- I will be job-seeking in a year — TRUE-ish
- I can tailor a program of free resources and paid classes for less money and time than the cost of graduate school — TRUE w/caveats
- As long as I can build software, the amount of math I’ll need to know is minimal
- An all-women learning environment is preferable to co-ed (but not a deal-breaker).
- MOOCs will be a great tech resource for learning computer science
- Meet-ups will be a great way to network, make connections, and find job leads
