As people try to switch careers and become software engineers, they often focus solely on learning to program. However, there's more to being a professional developer or open source contributor than code. This talk highlights the what, when, and why of these other critical skills:
- Version Control
- Documentation
- Testing & Test-Driven Development
- Dependency Management & Deployment
- Knowing Your Development Environment
This talk is for people trying to get started on the path to becoming a developer, as well as more experienced developers who're trying to guide or mentor those people.
