I’ve had a non-traditional route into software development, teaching myself CS basics. I’ve been lucky in landing gigs in some great places, where I’ve been able to learn a lot. On the way, I’ve been getting more and more questions for advice.
So I wrote a book on what I’ve seen work for me. It’s taken six months, and The Standout Developer[1] is ready (but it’s technically been a six year process). I’m thrilled that it’s finally available!
The book covers how to build an online presence to have access to more opportunities (many of which I have benefitted from), creating a solid dev resume and how to get that resume seen by an actual person - not just the ATS -, how to prepare for the interview, and everything else I’ve learned on the way.
Phew. Have I mentioned I'm super nervous to post on HN?
