Back in the days, most developers have had an engineering background or studied computer science; nowadays, the software developer's role becomes more popular.
New ways to become a developer are approaching on a weekly/monthly basis.
You can attend Bootcamps, be self-taught, do an apprenticeship, study computer science or a combination of several fields, and many more.
The possibilities are endless.
My questions are now:
- Are there any significant differences between these developer paths?
- Is their mindset on the same page?
- Do you need a computer science degree to become the "better" developer?
- Is a JavaScript developer coming from a Bootcamp worse than a Java Developer shifting towards JavaScript?
I'm interested in everybody's opinion; please feel free to share your thoughts!
