These days, Kent is on his own as a world renowned speaker, teacher and trainer on software and software quality, especially in the Javascript and frontend development space.

Quotes
“I ended up switching from accounting to information systems which is in the business school. II still wasn’t convinced that I wanted to program. But I thought ‘hey I really enjoy computers, I’m really good at these computer things, and business seems interesting.’”
“I think that’s what got me started into UI was just that really quick feedback cycle of seeing the impact of the changes I was making.”
“Right around the time I graduated from college I started making videos for egghead. My first course I created was using JWTs with AngularJS. And My first month I got my royalty check and it paid my mortgage for that month. And it did so thereafter.”
