How I taught myself to code again (and got a job at Google)

Tech Lead Patrick Shyu explains how a career switch helped him land a job at Google as a Software Engineer by teaching himself programming in a new language & technology. He re-invented himself, changing career ladder from computer graphics, to full-stack web generalist, to mobile developer. Also, for those interested in ReactNative, AirBNB announced earlier today they will quit ReactNative. Something to consider for newer tech. https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react-native-1868ba28e30a Join ex-Google/ex-Facebook engineers in my new coding interview training program here. http://techinterviewpro.com/ Here are 80+ whiteboard coding sessions: https://coderpro.com/ (20% off now, limited time) » Sign up for my free daily coding interview practice: http://dailyinterviewpro.com/ » Get 2 free stocks on WeBull when you deposit $100 (valued up to $1400): https://act.webull.com/k/S4oOH2yGOtHk/main » It's coffee time!
