A presentation at JuniorDev Launch - Why Juniors && What’s It Like as a Junior && Tips for Juniors in in Perth WA, Australia by Melissa Houghton
Why Junior Devs? It’s no secret that the industry has a talent shortage when it comes to hiring developers, and with technology only becoming more and more integrated and integral in all of our lives, software development isn’t going away (let’s not talk about AI writing code just yet ha ha!). We need to invest in entry level developers, educate, grow, train, support and give them the opportunities to thrive, not just survive!
