Things Maybe You Don't Know as a Newer Developer

by Dan Lew | at Minnebar 17

The theme of every talk I’ve ever given is “stuff I wish someone had told me earlier” and this talk is no different.

I’ve been working as a software developer for over 15 years, and I’m hoping to compile a useful list of general software development advice I wish someone had taught me from the start.

I’ll cover both coding and process-related topics, such as how to learn new frameworks and technologies, how to properly review code, and how to be a good teammate.

Hopefully you’ll learn a helpful tip or two, and if not, I’ll make sure to leave some time at the end for Q&A.
