There’s an interesting challenge that budding programmers face when it’s time to further their software development training, or even start their training. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different training and course options, and they vary widely in cost from free to hundreds or thousands of dollars. What’s more, some courses can be completed in weeks or months, while others require years and years of discipline. It’s even possible, and extremely easy, to invest in the wrong courses, depending on what your specialization or desired job will be.
So, how should you approach software development training? What are the best practices for choosing a school, course, or program, and what will that mean for your future career?
