Being a software developer is full of surprises. In one hand, you have the normal path to follow, which is to learn a new programming language so you can start writing your own code. You write everything from scratch, you build you own features, and you know everything you've built.

Let's say you go to a company and you have to deal with a pre-written code. What do you do? How do you learn this pre-written code?

Gratefulness... Being grateful for everything. We hear that a lot, right? Especially nowadays with all the self-help gurus, yoga teachers on Instagram...

A lot of developers ask me about the programming language of the future... They expect me to use my expertise to predict the future and tell them about the programming language of the future, hoping that they will start to specialize in such a language. However, this questions leaves us with some other interpretations... Is that such a thing as a programming language of the future? I strongly believe that there will be a programming language of the future but we don't know it yet.

What exactly is DevOps? Well, it's a conglomeration or a mashup, if you will, of development and operations. In my mind, I think MacGyver. If you ask different people, you'll get many answers, but for the most part, they'll agree that DevOps is all about doing whatever needs to be done to get the code built, tested, deployed, and running in production. It's the multidisciplinary process of getting code from development to production and taking care of the code when it's there. Instead of having two or three separate roles that don't know much about each other, and are arguably hostile and antagonistic at times, DevOps is about taking full ownership at every step along the way.

When I first received this question I must confess I thought it was a really silly question... C'mon, how in the earth would someone not know what IT is? However, after reading the question, I became aware that it could really help a lot of people because I see a lot of developers making some confusion with this. Basically, the most basic definition for IT is: "Set of tools, processes, and methodologies (such as coding/programming, data communications, data conversion, storage and retrieval, systems analysis and design, systems control) and associated equipment employed to collect, process, and present information.

Technical leads and managers work hard to hire the best people, choose the best tools, implement the best process, and deliver great software. Unfortunately, our actions too often sabotage our best efforts, producing frustrated teams, poor software quality and driving away our best developers. It happens to a lot of us but, fortunately, we have some strategies to teach you that can greatly reduce the amount of damage caused by these mistakes. In today's webinar I've teamed up with Marcus Blankenship, a recurring guest of this channel. We wll discuss all the ideas behind the habits that ruin a technical team and how you can avoid them, based on his new book, with the same name. "This book is a mirror for you to reflect on your leadership efforts. It is not for the feint of heart, but for those who are willing to bravely ask, "Do I have this habit?" Based on my 20 years of managing software teams, and coaching other technical leaders, this book points out 7 ways you could be unwittingly hurting your programmers, eroding trust and undercutting motivation and productivity."

If you're a blogger of any kind, new or advanced, you must have heard the term guest posting, right? Guest blogging is a method used by bloggers to increase blog traffic where bloggers write posts to be published on other bloggers' blogs. Guest blogging can work in one of two ways: - You write a post to appear on another person's blog - Another person writes a post to appear on your blog (Source: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-guest-blogging-3476279) However, I see a lot of people asking me "John, is it worth it? I don't seem to see any financial return on this". Well... In this video, I'll tell you why guest blogging is worth it and why you shouldn't be seeking to earn money with it.

So, building social apps, especially for those programmers who are just starting out, is a funny thing, right? For some social app to become a success, it needs to have an audience, but you can't have an audience for a product that does not exist and was not built yet, right? New developers that do not understand this system might find it VERY difficult to build a social app that will eventually become a success. So...

So, for those who don't know, Evan Carmichael is one of the big names today when it comes to personal development. He has written a WONDERFUL book called "Your One Word" and has changed a lot of my perception about this subject. So, this is why I decided to team up with him to talk about how programmers can find inspiration and motivation to keep going with their programming careers. I often see a lot of developers struggling to find motivation and to keep going doing things that they want to do and achieving their dreams that it really breaks my heart. This is why Evan is definitely a good name to talk about this and I thank him for sharing all his experience.

Whether you're a manager or employee, reviews aren't a particularly popular subject and with them comes the often-despised self-evaluation. You may ask yourself: "How can I shine the best spotlight on my performance without looking like I'm a jackass and I'm bragging myself?" This is such an important topic to be discussed because I see a lot of developers having trouble with this. Self-Evaluations are not easy. In one hand we do not want to come off as jackasses and give ourselves something we don't deserve but we also don't want to give ourselves bad grades. So... How do you do self-evaluations the right way? Watch this video and find out!
