Beyond bootcamps: Pluralsight and A Cloud Guru
After finishing a coding bootcamp, I found myself a bit overwhelmed with the numerous resources and time now available to dive into other topics beyond web development. While there are many blog posts about starting to code, what about next steps? To me, there are the following broad subject areas that likely overlap:
- Mobile Development (iOS, Android, Hybrid)
- Cloud Development (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure)
- Cybersecurity - Cybrary and OWASP are resources that I have yet to try out but have often seen.
- Data Science (Python, R, Hadoop)
- Machine Learning (TensorFlow, Keras)
- Blockchain (Ethereum, Ripple, Hyperledger)
- Virtual Reality (Unity, Unreal Engine, CryEngine)
- Video Games - Unity is also popular in this area
