Why I think the joining & being active on Twitter is so important as a Self-Taught Developer (2 min read)

Being a self taught developer can be excited but also very overwhelming as well. Learning on your own without being in a live classroom can be tough sometimes. Especially those who have a family and another job on the side it can be difficult to find some spare time to learn.

In this article I want to give you 3 reasons why I think joining Twitter in my opinion is the best decision to make especially for those taking the self taught path learning software development.

  • Supportive Community

The community is so supportive especially on twitter. Most of the questions that I asked have been answered.

  • Meet new friends

I have met so many new followers and made new friends. Making new friends will come a long way especially if later on you are looking for a new role.

  • Keep up with the latest new on iOS Development

As we all know software development moves very fast. It's hard to keep up with whats going on. Twitter is an amazing place to keep up with the latest trends. For example I like iOS development and this year I saw so many people tweet about what's new that came out on WWDC. It helps me keep up and also gives me ideas for projects.

Thanks and have a Bless Day!

I totally agree with you on that. Even if someone doesn't want to be active, they can still benefit so much just by being on Twitter and keeping up to date with the language they are learning (as you mentioned in point 3)
