Show Notes
#224: Are boot camps and CS degrees always necessary for landing a job? Or, can hands-on learning through eLearning platforms bridge that gap?
In today’s episode, we speak with Lane Wagner, creator of Boot.dev, to learn about the obstacles new developers face on their journey to becoming proficient back-end developers.
