10 Steps to become a Senior Software Engineer

What

Software engineers go through several stages in their careers. They start from a Junior role, then they move to a Mid Level role. Then they become senior. This blog post has 10 steps that help you to become a Senior Software Engineer.

Why bother?

Get paid more! Your salary grows as you level up

Advance in your career. Senior Software Engineers are moving towards Architect, Team Lead, CTO kind of roles

Take on bigger challenges. As you grow you make a bigger impact

How

Software engineering is hard. The industry is always changing and you need to keep up with it. You need to put constant effort and time. There is always more to learn than you can possibly absorb. Many engineers who finish a several month boot camp don’t realize how much more they need to learn on top of it. No worries, there is a clear path to becoming a senior software engineer in almost any area of software development.

Step 0: choose your path and stick to it!

do one thing and do it well - Doug McIlroy : Unix Philosophy

I can’t emphasize this enough! It is really important to choose a specialty and a technical stack that you will be working with. Sticking to it and not getting distracted is what will make you a specialist.

It’s an important choice to make. Here is how to do it:

Choose your specialty. It’s what you want to do. For example: Web development or Mobile development or DevOps etc.

Choose a technical stack within your specialty. For example: if you chose web development, you’ll need to choose between Ruby on Rails, Python and Django, JavaScript and MEAN etc. If you chose mobile, you’ll need to choose between iOS or Android, etc.

Stick to it and master it.

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t get familiar with anything else outside of your main specialty. A well rounded T-Shaped Software Engineer knows about other aspects of programming too. Although he/she knows their main specialty extremely well.

Now that you’ve chosen your specialty, you have a lot of things to learn. Take your time. It will take you several years to read all these books and practice necessary skills. Get through this challenge one skill at the time.

I’ll be using the following technical stacks going forward: Ruby on Rails for web development, iOS for mobile development. It is just because I have experience working with it. I can speak to it personally. At the end of the says it’s just a matter of taste. If you choose some other stack, you’ll need to find different books.

Step 1. Lay the foundations

Read The Pragmatic Programmer book. It’s a good starting point on the path to software mastery. The book summarizes best high level practices. It’s language / technology agnostic. It doesn’t matter which tech stack you choose, the main principles stay the same.

Step 2. Master your programming language

You’ll be using many languages day to day depending on the technology stack of your choice. Although, majority of your code will be written in one language. For example: a Ruby on Rails developer uses Ruby primarily. An AngularJS developer uses JavaScript most of the time. Identifying the language of your choice and mastering it is crucial for your career. Learn it, master it! You’ll be using this language every day. Choose your language and read an advance book on it.

For a Ruby Developer - Programming Ruby

For an iOS Developer - The Swift Programming Language

Step 3. Learn your framework

Choose one, learn it:

For a Rails Developer - Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl

For an iOS Developer - iOS programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide

Step 4. Become a master of your text editor / IDE

Again. Choose one, master it and stick to it. If you chose VIM, stay with VIM and become a master of it.

Step 5. Use your Version Control System like a pro

I recommend using Git. Here is the resource that I like: Pro git - free online ebook with a complete breakdown on every aspect of git

Step 6. Commit to doing Test Driven Development

Choose a book specific to your tech stack, learn it. Get into a habit of doing it every day. Quality code comes with writing tests.

For a Ruby on Rails Developer - Rails Test Prescriptions

For an iOS Developer - Test Driven iOS Development

Step 7. Refactor as a habit

The codebase grows in complexity as you add more functionality. In order to keep your codebase manageable you need to refactor. If you don’t refactor as you go, you’ll soon come to a sad place where even a small change is hard, bugs are inevitable and nobody wants to deal with your messy codebase. Just make your life easier. Don’t delay your refactor. Get into a habit of refactoring. Here is a good book on how to do it: Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler

Step 8. Learn software architecture

Depending on the stack you choose, find a good book on architecture. Here is one that I recommend by Martin Fowler. It’s called Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture

Step 9. Unleash the power of the command line

The command line can feel intimidating at first. Although, as soon as you learn how to use it, you’ll become a lot more efficient in performing basic tasks. That alone makes you a better developer since you are able to achieve more in less time.Then you can take it to the next level. Use shell to automate common tasks and build your dotfiles. If you’re working on a Mac or any Linux distribution, learn shell. Here is a good book on it by Mark Bates: Conquering the Command Line

Step 10. Code code code!

Every single day. Like in any sport, you need to practice what you learned in order for knowledge to stick.

Takeaway

Yes, becoming Senior Software Engineer is hard. It takes a lot of time and commitment. Different people learn at different speed, but on average, it takes about 10 years to become a solid senior dev. It’s a big investment in time for a big return.Software Engineers have the bright future. They are in high demand on the job market. Their salary grows proportionally with their experience. It’s a rapidly growing and a relatively new field. Every day of a software engineer is a challenge. A challenge of changing people’s lives. Go ahead and take on this challenge by becoming a Senior Software Engineer one skill at the time.

BitBucket !

Hey! Its been long since I posted something (i mean for myself). Trying to get back on track with a simple learning I had today.

Yet times I’m amazed to find out how foolish I’m to misunderstand/assume things. For some reason, a rule is set in my mind that bitbucket is a paid incarnation of GitHub! That myth busted today. I started reading Michael Hartl’s wonderful book Ruby on Rails Tutorial (Rails 5) to my surprise found The important differences (from the perspective of this tutorial) are that GitHub offers unlimited free repositories (with collaboration) for open-source repositories while charging for private repos, whereas Bitbucket allows unlimited free private repos while charging for more than a certain number of collaborators.

There might more pros and cons on both these services. I’m yet to explore them.

It’s easy creating an account in bitbucket (as easy in github). Once you created an account create a repo (you might have to search for “+” or a “create” button, UI of services change). Create a repo with ‘sample_app’ as name.

Now let see how to generate a new rails app with same name. (assuming you have ruby and rails installed) $ rails new sample_app This would generate a web app which is ready to be deployed!! How wonderful is that! Now let’s see how to push it to the existing bitbucket repo created. Before that commit the changes. $ git remote add origin [email protected]:<username>/sample_app.git This commands first tell Git that you want to add Bitbucket as the origin for your repository. Replace <username> with your bitbucket username. $ git pull origin master This would pull code from bitbucket and result in merge conflict as readme in bitbucket repo is different from readme in our local. Resolve the merge conflict, add and commit changes in readme. Now we are ready to push the changes to bitbucket. $ git push --set-upstream origin master Push your repository up to the remote origin by setting origin as default branch to push.

Tada! we are done..

Thinking About Learning to Code?

New Post has been published on http://www.vennomax.com/education/thinking-about-learning-to-code/

Thinking About Learning to Code?

It’s useful information for any entrepreneur to know — whether or not you run a tech company.

If you are running a company that is heavily reliant on technology, I can tell you learning to code is hands down one of the most valuable skills I have ever acquired. Even if you don’t plan on becoming a full-time developer, having an in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of software development will save your company time, money and resources. If you consistently find yourself hitting walls due to a lack of technical knowledge, I encourage you to learn how to code. In the long run, it will make your life that much easier.

Here are my five tips if you want to learn to code:

Don’t Use an Online “Coding Academy”

While websites such as Codecademy receive a lot of good press, I believe they miss the bigger picture. Online courses such as these will teach you syntax (how to declare a variable) but they, in my opinion, do not show you how everything works within the context of the entire application. I once finished a Ruby course on Codecademy, and by the end knew how to write an IF,THEN statement, but still had no idea how to actually build a web application and get that IF,THEN statement to run inside the application.

Instead, I’d recommend courses that focus on how to build entire function applications rather than learning specific languages. Sites such as One Month and Code4Startup can help you out in these areas. If you really want to get your hands dirty, Michael Hartl’s Ruby on Rails Tutorial will not only provide you with a strong foundation on how to build an application, but teach you basic programming fundamentals. It took me almost three months to get through the entire tutorial, but it was well worth the time invested.

Work Through Your Failures

Learning to code is hard. There is no way around that. The initial learning curve is steep. The best way to learn is to run into issues and work through them — do not cheat! One of the drawbacks of a site like Codecademy is that if you can’t work your way through a problem, you can just click to see the answer. While this may help you move onto the next step, you often won’t understand what you did wrong. And if you do, you likely won’t remember it.

There is a precipitous learning curve in coding. But I guarantee, if you stick with it long enough, there will come a point when it starts to click. Having the discipline to work through problems will force your mind to remember what you did wrong the next time you run into the same issue. For me, learning to code was similar to learning calculus. At first, I swore it was random madness and nothing made sense. But eventually, I started to realize there was a method to the madness, and moving forward, it made things much easier.

Start With the Basics: HTML, CSS and Some Javascript

Having a deep knowledge of how HTML, CSS and Javascript work will get you pretty far, even if you haven’t yet learned any back-end languages such as PHP or Ruby. HTML and CSS are what are known as the “front end.” Technically, they aren’t even development languages, but you can still accomplish a lot with them. Having this front end knowledge will equip you with the tools to build a prototype, stand up a website, or just play around with an idea you may have. I suggest learning Bootstrap, which is a front-end framework.

Have a Reason

Many people want to learn to code simply for the sake of learning to code. Avoid this. Having a personal project you want to complete will keep you motivated when you are so frustrated you just want to jump off a cliff. It also provides a completion point and a medium to test and apply your new skills rather than just learning for sport.

Don’t Give Up

Like anything in life, this sounds like a given but it’s true. If you’re frustrated, take a step back, do something else for a while, and come back to it. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve banged my head against the wall trying to figure out an issue, only to come back a few hours later and figure out the answer in minutes. It is always too early to give up.

If you’re planning to have a career in the tech space, knowing how to code will work wonders in any capacity. Admittedly, learning to code is hard and there are no shortcuts, which is why there are not enough developers. But are there any shortcuts to places worth going? Stick with it. It’ll be worth it — I promise.
