I have never had to or even had the desire to write any posts, so I don’t even know where to start.. I’ll start from the beginning :) About three years ago, I got a job at a bank as a system administrator and there I successfully supported the operation of the database, then I moved to another bank... And it was there that I remembered why I became a system administrator, I believed that this was an opportunity to become a real programmer. After all, programming is something very delightful and wonderful, you can build your own things, even virtual ones, but nowadays they are more real... And I firmly decided that I would stop sitting, holding on to an incomprehensible job and gaining unnecessary experience. I started by studying the labor market and realized that in our wonderful city of Omsk, Java and C# developers are most needed... The choice was made more by chance than deliberately, but I don’t regret it at all. I started looking for information on how to learn this secret language... I first came across (may the creators of JavaRush forgive me, but I’ll give a couple of links) cyberforum.ru. You can find information there, but it didn’t suit me, because I didn’t even know the basics.. Then I came across cybern.ru, it was already better, they start with the basics, but there is absolutely no practice, I tried to come up with tasks for myself, but this it turned out to be too hard, everything I came up with was either too easy or too hard... I don’t remember how it happened, but I was lucky and I came across JavaRush! This is truly the best thing that could have happened to me at that moment... I reveled in the knowledge from this site, I studied java at work, I came home and sat down at my laptop, I read all the articles and additional material, I thought in java. In one month I did more to achieve my dream than in 5 years at the university + 3 years in banks. Unfortunately, 10 lessons ended too quickly and this is too little to become a real programmer, the lessons ended along with the salary, but the service has the opportunity to call friends for help! Persuading friends turned out to be quite a difficult task, and the most difficult thing was persuading a girl who does not understand exact sciences to pass at least three levels. By the way, two friends even liked it and continued to study further :) After level 17, I realized that I had enough knowledge to write a real application. I started looking for a part-time job, then I was lucky again and I came across a person who needed to make one simple Android application.. And I generally succeeded, now I have become a developer with real experience! After level 20, I started looking for a real job as a programmer. And then I saw an ad for an Android developer. I edited my resume, adding Android development experience, and sent it. The first stage was completed only with the help of my resume and the information that I have experience in developing a commercial application. The second stage was a technical interview. Many thanks to JavaRush! All! ALL! The answers to the questions I was asked can be found in JavaRush. I answered very easily because JavaRush absorbed the answers for me. I was rated at the junior level. The interview with the boss was easier; I just had to answer honestly that I always wanted to be a programmer and that I dreamed of developing myself in this direction. So I ended up in a team of really happy people! At the moment, my probationary period has already passed, I’m incredibly happy, I forgot what an alarm clock and traffic jams are, programmers can not only go to work at a convenient time, but sometimes even work from home. But in fact, these are still little things, the most important thing that I got from JavaRush is a constant desire to grow, not to sit still, to learn more and more new things. I never thought that I could write more than one paragraph of text, and now I’m thinking about starting my own blog about what difficulties I encounter in the development process and how I solve them. I never thought that I would decide to try Linux, now I’m on a new version of Ubuntu and maybe it’s not familiar, but it’s very interesting. I never thought that I would start taking English courses, but I’ve been studying it diligently for almost a month now, this language is really important for a programmer. Many thanks to the JavaRush project for giving me faith in myself, for teaching me how to learn, this project really gives me more than an institute in 5 years. What advice can you give to those who are still on their way? Do not give up! If something doesn’t work out for a long time, you just need to spend a little more time on it. Spend money on an unlimited account, now the discount is only $100, after level 40 you will be hired not as a junior but as a very real regular. If you don't have development experience, get it! Come up with your own project, draw up some technical specifications and implement it. In your resume, just lie that it was freelance, no one will interrogate you meticulously, the main thing is that you can say exactly what exactly you did in this application.
