I am a full time iOS engineer that studied Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. In this video, I cover the 3 ways to break into the Software Engineering field with 0 coding experience. More specifically through school, bootcamps, and self-taught.

All software engineers are all self-taught in a way. The main struggle that a self-taught engineer has is that they lack structure. They don't know where to start, what to study, and they get lost in all of the different languages and technologies that they have to learn.

I created this video in hopes of demystifying how someone with 0 experience can get into the field. I have provided a road map for 2022 of how someone can self-teach themselves programming and land a job in the field very quickly! Hopefully, you can use this roadmap, or a part of it to help you speed up your coding journey!

Good luck!
