About this title

Synopsis

You belong in tech.

Even if you don't look like the hackers in the movies.

Even if you don't have a degree.

Even if you've had three careers before.

In 2020, opera singer and new mother Anna McDougall realised she needed a change. She had tried coding as a kid and was excited about a technological future, but couldn’t help but wonder “If I try learning this now, will I be laughed out of the room?”.

Since then, Anna has not only forged her own career in software engineering, but has also helped hundreds of career changers find their way into tech. Now, she distils all her best advice and insight into one book, designed to take you from zero knowledge or experience through to signing a contract for your first tech job.

This is not a motivational quote book: it is a jam-packed, super-practical guide with step-by-step instructions for learning the skills, standing out from the crowd, and nailing the interview process.

Chapter titles include:

What Skills, Tools, or Programming Languages Should You Learn?
How Can I Learn Programming Given My Life Circumstances?
The (Mostly) Unwritten Rules of Coding Communities
Social Media Profiles: Dos and Don'ts
Mentoring and Coaching
'How Do I Know I'm Ready?' Mental Preparation for the Job Search
Creating an Application Kit (CV, Cover Letter, Portfolio)
Understanding the Classic Job Interview Stages for Tech

... and much more!
