Mine have been checked once in over 27 years of working across 8 companies.Honest question do companies check to see if you have the qualifications that you say you have or do they just take as you are telling the truth? I haven’t applied for many jobs over the years as I stopped at one place a long time then got head hunted.
Done more now as most hr departments outsource this in larger companies.Mine have been checked once in over 27 years of working across 8 companies.
Interested what websites/courses you used to teach yourself to code if you don't mind sharing? How long was the process? Did you get any qualifications or just build a portfolio of projects to showcase to potential employers?I taught myself how to code if thats anything? I am now a pen tester but switching jobs to a front end developer in about 3 weeks.
I left school with D's and like 60% attendance.

I've justing started a coding course and wondering if it's worth the time/effort.
There’s loads, just find one that suits you. Pick a language that’s in demand (C# or Python are good choices, if you want to do web development HTML/CSS/JS) get yourself a GitHub and start building a portfolio. Apply for junior roles, some places will do a technical test to check your knowledge, many won’t.
I know a Polish guy who went from veg picking and warehouse work to development by teaching himself to code. Once he’d got the first job it was no different to someone with a CS degree.
You can learn to code in weeks, it’ll take a lifetime to master. I’d argue people with a grounding in CS will always do better but that’s because I’m an elitist snob with a CS degree
A friend of mine coded his own AI to predict football scores. Judging by him not driving around a Ferrari just yet I'm assuming it's still learning the ropes.
The best way to learn to code is just by pissing about and trying things. You aren't going to pick up a book and read it and then be able to.

This is good advice. Choose a project and try and build it, each time you’re stuck Google for an answer and you’ll learn loads.
I’d still argue a good Dev needs a certain level of technical understanding though. I’ve worked with a few self taught devs and you can usually tell because they have a surface level understanding of what they’re doing or just really bad habits like not naming your variables properly or being massively inefficient.
Youtube and i found some good people on coding discords that helped me, also used odin project and i purchased a few crappy ones tgat didn't really work, i have a portfolio on github that shows my projects and websites/apps i have built i also have a very good refrence from a reputable coder ( my uncle who has 35 years in coding) obviously my uncle helped me also gave me books to read, i also purchased (head first book series) and honestly best books i read.Interested what websites/courses you used to teach yourself to code if you don't mind sharing?

Which driver tested for a top formula one team beating their current (at the time) top drivers including a world champions times but failed to get a permanent drive in F1 despite succeeding massively at lower formulas competing and dancing rings around a multiple to be F1 world champion widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers of all time. Extra clue. He was Irish and most people will never have heard of him.Ask me any question about F1 from 1990 onwards and il get it right
You’re pretty shit at link building.When I went to university, I only did it because I wanted to get a higher education. After all, it was the most important thing for me. There is a lot of documentation to fill out almost every day. Of course, the stress was enough for me. Until I found a solution to turn to the best essay editing service, where they double-check all my papers. And I turned them in with a perfect score. So don't feel bad. All situations are solvable. The main thing is to find a reasonable way out of them. I think that many people don't work on their diplomas. They get it just to have it.
Second this, and the odin project,Learn to Code — For Free — Coding Courses for Busy People
Great place to learn various development topics. Incorporates projects into the certifications. Looking to offer free Degree level qualifications soon.
