This is one of my favorite sources of info. https://launchschool.com/books They have a long and intense deep dive program. Their free bookshelf is top notch for starting out though. If you did nothing but read these books, and spent 1 hour every day practicing their content, then applying what you learned to projects, you'd get further than 99% of people that start.

I am so excited for this group! Three courses working, with more in development. Comment below if you have any questions or want to see something new!

Here's the thing: I am not your typical programmer. I actually work in a restaurant. I come from outside the tech world, but I have just been fascinated by it. Over the last 10 years, I have worked on it in the mornings, and late at night. I've toiled and toiled, and I'm here to tell you: I mostly sucked. Yep, like, not good at all. But no shit, I work in a restaurant haha. Yep, sucked! I made stupid mistakes, took shortcuts, and in general failed to focus on what was difficult/assumed I knew more than I did. But here's the important thing: I did all of those things like EVERYONE does. I'm here to cut your time in 1/2, and then cut it again. If you want to learn, I can help you. Not tomorrow, not when you have time, but today, with small, dedicated steps towards the life you want. This group is different. I am currently working on the "Start Here" Course. In that course (which is FREE) we deal with the main roadblock in starting your journey: your mind. Everyone has sky high dreams "I want to be a programmer" "I want to work from home" "I want to make more money" The trick is the really drill down from the abstract to the specific. I want to be a programmer BECAUSE I work in a deadbeat job, and I want to work in one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy, in a field that is virtually guaranteed to keep me employed for the long term, where the average salary TO START is around 130,000 to 140,000 per year. [Notice the reasons, the actual numbers, the dream for the future!] I want to work from home SO THAT I can spend 2 more hours per day with my wife and my son/daughter. So that I can cook my meals and achieve my health goals. So that I can reclaim the hour I spend in traffic every day. I want to make an additional 30,000 (or 60,000, or what ever number it may be for you) So I can take the two week vacation to Florida I always promised my wife/husband. Or so that I can finally start saving for my son/daughters college. Or so that I can finally dine out once a week. Or, shit, so I can order dessert when I go out.
