Wear sunscreen! (Advice for aspiring developers)
Dear new developer
"If i could give you one tip for the future..."
- Passion - This is the most important. Skills can be learnt, Knowledge can be gained
- Be able to cross transfer skills and ideas from other industries, our industry especially web development is too young to have all the answers.
- Don't be afraid to ask help from those more experienced,
- Try to understand the underlying causes of problems, not just the symptoms.
- Understand the jobs of those around you: user experience, support, testing, marketing. Know how to talk to them, it'll make your job a whole lot easier.
Thank you
Matt Goddard
