• Lost my job months ago and feeling adrift - has anyone successfully used career counseling in DC?

  See if General Assembly has something that catches your eye. It was very helpful to a friend of mine. I think they sometimes do free webinars. Source: almost 1 year ago

• Classes on data/spreadsheets?

  For my last job I did one from general assembly they’re local for me so that’s why I went them over others. It wasn’t CSM related but did help me get a way better understanding of excel. Although I don’t use excel at all now as a csm 😆 They have a lot of courses that our tech focused though! Source: about 1 year ago

• UCSD extension boot camp - Data Analyst Review?

  What ultimately helped was attending several all-day and multi-day bootcamps that were a few hundred each from General Assembly and over time taking on a few small projects that demonstrated capability in data analysis for business. My subject matter was mostly marketing because that's what I was familiar with but the job I'm in now has no relation to that whatsoever. Source: about 1 year ago

• Has any of you worked as a server for decades all the way to retirement ?

  I went to a place called General Assembly (https://generalassemb.ly/), I did the Web Development Immersive course which was 12 weeks, M-F 9am-5pm. A lot of University's have similar courses at their extension schools, I know for example UCLA and Rutgers have them. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to start learning web development for free

  Freecodecamp provides 10+ free web development courses in JavaScript, Python, front-end, and back-end that are more than enough to kickstart any developer's career.  You learn through interactive coding exercises and articles, and can participate in forum discussions when you get stuck or need help. - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• Ask HN: Would doing a coding bootcamp be a horrible idea?

  Don't do bootcamp. Start with something like https://freecodecamp.org and take a few lessons. Try to build something from that and see how motivated you are. If you see some progress and this thing still excites you, then may be find an engineer (a friend/co worker etc) who can guide you a bit as you continue to build something. Start small and stay away from bootcamps (my 2 cents). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• What's wrong with my resume? Former non-tech background designer and Current CS graduate student looking for first SDE/SWE internship, really, no good news at all but only rejections, please advice!

  Was thinking to put certificates, but those are what I earned from platform such as freeCodeCamp.org's backend api development, not sure if it's good to list in resume or not. Source: 8 months ago
