    How To Improve As A Programmer - DONT WRITE MORE CODE READ MORE

    How To Improve As A Programmer - DONT WRITE MORE CODE READ MORE

    http://advancedbeginnerchallenge.com – I built a course to get your first job in web development, or upgrade from Junior to mid-level. All done over email for your convenience.

    How do you grow as a programmer? It's a tough topic. Coding helps, certainly, BUT the Edge Effect has a power that is beyond belief. Don't doubt the power of reading, in seemingly unrelated areas, and how it will impact your day to day skillset.

    In this video I break down EXACTLY what books to start reading, and different genres of books you should be checking out.

    Have a great day. ❤️ ya.

Love it!

So happy every time Dain posts a new episode, which unfortunately isn’t much these days. Keep it up, man! Love the book recommendations.

Stay away

I hired Dain for coaching to have someone to talk to as I learned more about development on my own. I ended up asking for a refund after our first call where he essentially just criticized me for 10-15 min. He agreed to give me my money back and then gave me a long winded excuse while it would take him a week. 3 weeks later he still hasn’t refunded me and has completely stopped responding to my calls and texts.

Stop what you're doing and listen!

Great for beginners and veterans alike. Dain has incredible knowledge and motivation. This podcast has changed my life for the better!
