Hello,
I sincerely say kudos to all family here help newbies like me. I want to ask that what will I gain from taking all courses curriculum or what will become Web developer, software eng; or what? I studied Economics but have interest in IT or computer world, how can I go about it?
Generally Front-End meaning the curriculum starts with the front end so by default people finish it first, however there is a Back-End certification as well, and Data Visualization to boot. Lots of work ahead.
Good luck whatever your path may lead you!
Job titles are pretty arbitrary, but the ones that are most likely to match you skill set will probably be some variation on âweb developerâ or â[some technology] developerâ. From what Iâve observed jobs listed as âengineerâ are much more likely to require a traditional degree in a related field (at the jr/entry level). âSoftware engineerâ is typically going to refer to non-web technology and require experience with languages like C, C++, or Java.
Hopefully as you learn and grow as a coder, you will find areas that interest you more than others. Youâll focus on building your skills in these areas and seek out jobs that relate to them.
Yeah this program is most aligned to web developer. Web development is very different from software engineering. The name âsoftware engineeringâ is thrown around loosely in job postings all the time, but the reality is that software engineering is an actual well defined field of study (defined by IEEE) to the point that there is federally funded research in software engineering, and there is an actual Software Engineering Institute at a major university, you can get licensed in some countries for software engineering, etc.
Donât worry about what you are going to become, enjoy the journey as you donât know where you could end up. Coding takes you on different tracks all the time, youâll discover new things and go down that path for a while. Itâll open up new doors and opportunities all the time.
@DWAbrego Makes excellent points. Iâll also add the observation that while the use of the title âsoftware engineerâ is a bit loosy-goosy, itâs much more common in companies that traditionally hire other engineering fields. Job function may be the same for a âsoftware developerâ at a purely software company as a âsoftware engineerâ at a company that employs electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, etc.
Long story short: find what you like and where your strengths are, then search for jobs based on the technology used and donât worry about the name of the position.
