How to become a software developer

Software development has always been a passion of mine. When I was first starting, about 30 years ago, I asked a senior developer, “How do I become a software developer?”. His answer was “Read lots of books!”. At the time (late 90’s) that was one of the few resources we had if we wanted to break into software development.

Today, we have more resources than we know what to do with! Between YouTube videos, online, and on-site bootcamps, Computer Science degrees, there are a lot of answers to that question now.
