Teaching, Guiding & Inspiring The Next Generation of Programmers (with James Q. Quick)
About this episode
How do you get started as a programmer? And how do experienced programmers help them as they start their journey?
This week's guest is a developer-turned-teacher, James Q. Quick. A former coder and developer advocate, he's s been been working on tutorials, courses and bootcamps to teach aspiring developers how to get started with JavaScript. We talk about why people get into programming as a new career, what they need to succeed, and what James thinks is the best indicator of success.
We also discuss what's new and exciting in JavaScript, James' favourite up & coming libraries, and dive into the JavaScript vs. TypeScript debate.
