I am interested in learning more about development and coding in general. I went to ASU for Communication and have been trying to learn JavaScript lately. I'm mostly looking for insight and advice, generally, and trying to weigh whether getting another degree or just learning how to code would be more beneficial. What advice do you have for someone considering a career in development (web, iOS or Android)? I'm unsure whether I'd prefer more front end, back end or full stack projects. I'd be open to hearing about your experience, and also what you think a timeline for someone like me who's just now trying to break into a new field would look like. Looking forward to hearing any insight you're able to share! Thank you, Nick

If you like it, then maybe consider a boot camp which can he...
