🎨 Is coding an art?

I’m super excited to write the first newsletter!

My goal will usually be to bring things that can inspire you (no practical use 🤪), can help you now (to move your career forward 🤑), and can help you in the future (to be ready for what’s next 🤔).

Here are the 3 things I have selected for you this week:

1. What’s hot now: How demand for development skills is changing

   New devs and students are always asking me what languages they should learn. It is not always all about the new shiny thing. There is a lot of demand for more traditional and established technologies. This article shows what is in demand for 2022/2023.

   Hit: React is big.

   Great takeaways:

   • “JavaScript, React, and Python are consistently among the most demanded technical skills worldwide”
   • “The most in-demand developers are agnostic to programming languages”
   • “Established companies need to fill roles for more traditional languages like Java and .NET”

2. What will be hot soon: Learn to Code Blockchain

   As devs we have to focus on what we need to learn now to get a job or keep our job. However we should keep an eye in the future as well. Blockchain is here to stay and you should start to get to know it a bit. You may feel it is too early to jump in but how about you learn it by playing games.

   This is what you will get for free with 🧟 CryptoZombies. You will get to learn Blockchain coding by playing a game. It is that easy! I’ve tried it and the site makes it so enjoyable to learn the basics as you get coding by just using their website. No tools required to be installed. No complicated setup. Give it a try. Would love to hear about your experience.

3. A little inspiration: The Art of Code

   Is coding a science or an art form? I want to believe it is a bit of both, but maybe I just want to pretend what I do is cool so my kids will be less bored about me 😜.

   Get ready to be inspired by this live recorded presentation from Dylan Beattie.

My personal update: Life is good. Enjoying summer with the kids.

Cheers, hasta la vista, and bye!
