Software Development Master Class for Absolute Beginners

In this course I will set you on a path that can take you from absolute beginner to professional software developer. This is not something that you can do in an afternoon, but this introductory course is a start. My name is Mike Witt and I’m developing this course as the first step in a program that is intended to provide all the information that you will need to become a programmer with skills in a particular area: Developing web applications built around a .Net server, SQL Server database, and an Angular based UI. This first course will only be the first step, but if you stick with it you can turn your learning and hard work into a career.

If you’ve glanced at my bio, you will note that I’ve been developing software for over 35 years. When I started, I had no idea what programming was. You may have no idea or you may have some idea, but programming (unlike rocket science) is more of a skill and a craft than a theoretical science (like rocket science)! Because of this and because of a shortage of workers, many companies are willing to hire someone even if they don’t meet their educational requirements. To be sure, most companies want a degree in computer science or at least some degree in a science or related field, but when it comes right down to it they want and need someone who can do the work.
