Course summary

Congratulations on completing this course! 

In the final activity, our expert Josh shared tips on how to start and grow as a junior developer. You also learned about the recruitment process and practiced writing strong answers to application form questions.

You now have a broader understanding of industry requirements and the roles available to software developers. You have gained valuable insight into the significance of ethical considerations in software development and have learned how to apply for jobs to embark on your exciting journey in this field.

It’s now time to complete the assessment for the course but before you do, here is a recap of the top tips for developers:

• Start learning programming languages and familiarise yourself with tools such as version control.
• Consider participating in open-source projects to gain valuable practice and experience in software development.
• You already possess many of the essential skills needed to become a developer, even if you haven’t programmed before. Keep honing and expanding these skills to improve your development potential.

Good luck with your journey!
