Savvy Coding

In this episode, Virginia and Elaine Queathem discuss: 

People who are unrepresented in the tech field  The challenges of getting into college  If it's possible to learn to code and keep their job to pay the bills  How to start somewhere and pivot 

 

Key Takeaways:  College isn't for everyone  Boot camps are not a bad alternative to college  This isn't just for people in their twenties—anyone can code  It's okay to take bigger risks when you're a young adult 

 

"The idea that these are skills that are needed, and there's a different delivery mechanism for those skills." — Elaine Queathem 

 

About Elaine Queathem: I’ve been involved with technology my entire life, but when I worked for a small software technology company in 2009, I became acutely aware of the shortage of qualified programming resources which were essential for a small company to grow and thrive. Now, several years later, I am in a position to begin to help people develop those important and sought-after skills. That’s why I founded Savvy Coders.
