What are some of the things you wish you knew before your first Software Development Job?

What are some of the things you wish you knew before your first Software Development Job?

Here is a list of some of the things I wish I knew before my first Software Development job, hope these will help coding newbies :) :

  1. Learn Version Control/ Git, a lot of companies use version control to keep track of their code changes. knowing how to check in code and rolling back to your previously working code will save you from re doing your work when your device gets lost/broken and version control makes collaborating with other developers easier too.

  2. Most of the times you will be doing maintenance and not starting a project from scratch. The code/project might be confusing in beginning but you'll get used to this :). Which brings me to the next thing you should learn.

  3. Learn how to read other developers' code, if you will be making changes on an already existing project you'll have to go through what the previous developer did and how they did it. This will help understand and know what you should change and where.

  4. Learn how to use debugging tools like Chrome DevTools, Visual Studio Debugger. They make the whole debugging process a whole lot easier and faster with their cool features like stepping through code,console, inspecting variables with data tips etc...

  5. Ask for help, your seniors are there to assist you. When asking for help try to explain the problem and solutions you have tried, this will make it easier for them to assist you and not advice you to try what you have already tried.

Hope these will help codenewbies out there.
Happy coding :).

La integracion con otras herramientas y plataformas es tambien un beneficio clave. El software descargado a menudo se conecta sin problemas con otros programas, lo que facilita el intercambio de informacion y la colaboracion en proyectos for z descargar . Esto es especialmente util para equipos que dependen de varios tipos de software para gestionar tareas y compartir datos de manera eficiente.

I recently delved into the detailed guide to POS (Point of Sale) software development spd.tech/fintech-development/the-d... and it was incredibly enlightening. The guide does a fantastic job of breaking down the complexities involved in creating robust and efficient POS systems. It covers everything from choosing the right hardware components to integrating essential features like inventory management, sales tracking, and customer relationship management. One of the standout points was the emphasis on security measures, which are crucial for protecting sensitive transaction data. For anyone considering developing or upgrading their POS software, this guide is a must-read. It provides valuable insights and practical advice that can help ensure the success of your project.
