Becoming a passionate programmer
The goal is to find fulfillment and happiness in the career. Fulfillment and happiness don’t (often) come by chance. They require thought, intention, action, and a willingness to change course when you’ve made mistakes. We all want a successful career as a programmer but the challenge is to get there.In this presentation I will talk about strategies that I have learned and followed in past few years to build a successful software career.
