Pingback: Everything You Want to Know and Should Know About Becoming a Programmer or Software Engineer—June 21 – Javascript World
Thrilled to see you’re posting again! This series couldn’t come at a better time, as I’m entering my last year of school.
Olá, muito legal suas dicas, eu tenho bastante tempo de computação, desde os meu primeiro Modem USRobotics 33.600, até hoje continuo na área, Um coisa tem feito eu ficar um pouco trista, mesmo com tanto tempo na computação eu não consigo se quer ter uma casa Própria! Também sou graduado em Design de Produto, gosto muito de desenhos funcionais, Arduino, Esp32 Eletrônica de Forma Geral. Hoje estou me organizado para Se tornar um especialista em Javascript Moderno, com principal foco de utilizar Javascript como Linguagem Principal. Estou estudando muito Angular 6 e React com foco em PWA (Progressive web Apps) e no futuro vem próximo montar um empresa voltada para Fablabs e Programação para desenvolver produtos diversos! Mas neste momento eu preciso organizar produtos e serviços com foco PWA! Juntando tudo isso ainda passo por uma fase de desemprego! Justamente porque deixe de lado o aprendizado de linguagens como PHO, C#, entre outras! Busca mais áreas voltadas para front-end!
Focaria em sair do Brasil, em vez de aprender novas linguagens.
O problema eh o mercado dai.

I was always a sega fan. Always liked sega music better. Like Ecco, Flashback, Sonic. And didnt like MIDI style on SNES. But have to agree that Populous and RnR Racing sounds a way better. Thanks for vid, it will help me to pick a game. All i had till today is namelist and no idea what to play – random pick was disappointing.
