About the event

Becoming a developer is about more than just learning to code – it’s about learning how to think, communicate, and grow. In this session, the speaker will share what he wishes someone had told him at the beginning: how to actually learn effectively, use tools like Git with confidence, and build the mindset that turns beginners into professionals. Whether you dream of joining a tech company or building your own projects, this talk will help you see the bigger picture and avoid the common traps along the way.

The event will be interesting for:

  • High school graduates and final-year students;
  • Career switchers (from education, finance, arts, etc.);
  • Junior specialists who want a structured start;
  • HR managers and career coaches curious about modern traineeships.
