I am considering the jump as well (from i-banking), and have been putting in a considerable amount of work, but part of me is worried the growth we have seen will come crashing down soon and opportunities will disappear. It is hard to give up a nice salary and job security, especially when a similar position is very difficult to return to if things don't work.
Would you be interested in being tutored on writing a web app? I'm assuming you live in NYC? I can tutor you how to build a full web stack incising delaying it to the end user.
I'm interested in building a set of lessons for this purpose which I would then like to sell.if you don't know programmimng then it would be a bg commitment but You could definitely afford such a course.
If interested you can email me: railsnoob @ yahoo dot com
Not a total newbie, studied engineering, been programming little projects for years and had a few side jobs while in school doing mostly simple stuff. Will hit you up, curious what you have though, and always looking to make new connections.
I graduated from a college in Kenya with a Computer Science degree. I understand OOP and other programming concepts but I feel I do not know enough when compared to my friends in the United States or other European countries. In college we mostly coded basic applications in either Vb.Net or C#. I am trying to become a better hacker by learning JS, C and Python. I am however finding it difficult as I cannot find projects that have bugs small enough for me to fix. I will be glad if someone could point me in the right direction
