A consultant:


How do we

manage?


In the beginning - we don’t.

Avslöjad?


A few tips

from me:


Learn programming concepts Object Oriented Programming

inheritance, interfaces Functional Programming

higher order functions, side effects

Dynamic vs Static Languages

Separation of concern Singe Responsibility Principle


Make friends with your tools!!!

Development Tool your daily companion your assistant

!

Terminal - the command line Your best friend!


Everything is WEB …

HTTP-protocol Request Response

REST

Learn to debug the webclient !!! Learn cURL


or .. everything is Apps?

Yet to learn.. (responsive design)


…but!

Understand the WHOLE chain Database layer - Oracle/MySQL Service layer WebService-layer (REST/XML)

Webclient


Be Polyglot!!

Java, C#, Scala Javascript, Groovy

… and code, code, code, code.
