TPDP031: Developer Education through Books, Video Courses, and Conferences

The Polyglot Developer Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Adrienne Tacke, author of Coding for Kids: Python, and Alex Ziskind, owner of the NativeScripting course platform. The topic of this episode is broken into two parts. The first is around improving your skills as a developer through different education avenues such as eBooks, video courses, conferences, and other events. The three of us on the show are developers, like many of the listeners. We each have our own methods towards learning new development technologies or deepening our skills with the technologies we're already using. Some of these methods might not be obvious and it's something we want to share. The second part of the episode is around taking the developer skills that you have and then using them to teach others through writing your own eBooks or courses, and what it looks like in terms of hardware, funding, and similar.
