Listen "How To Become An API/Backend Developer"
Episode Synopsis
There are so many aspiring backend developers that believe that it's IMPOSSIBLE to land a backend role as their first position. It's just not true. This episode aims to provide support, but also realistic expectations of the mindset needed to become a backend developer. Quite frankly, many coding bootcamps are falling short of properly preparing people for these roles.As a bonus, what started as me wanting to pull as much advice as I could from Rob, for developers aiming for backend roles, turned into a long episode LOADED with advice for all aspiring web developers. I hope this helps!Rob Dickinsong (guest):Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robfromboulderTwitter - https://twitter.com/robfromboulderWebsite (Data-driven API security) - https://resurface.ioEmail - rob@resurface.io--------------------------------------------------- 👾 Join Discord - https://discord.gg/TpQe2k8Ab3💻 Learn Frontend (20% off): https://scrimba.com/the-frontend-developer-career-path-c0j?via=donthedeveloper⚙️ Learn Backend (25% off): https://boot.dev/?promo=DONTHEDEVELOPER🐱 Learn NestJS (free) - https://scrimba.com/nestjs-c0n7djgjma?via=donthedeveloper🧠 Advanced Coding (40% off) - https://app.codecrafters.io/join?via=donthedeveloper👥 1 on 1 Mentorship - https://cal.com/donthedeveloper/mentorship🐦 Follow on X - https://x.com/thedonofcodeDisclaimer: Some product links are affiliate links which means if you buy something I'll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
