By making things and putting them on GitHub, and then you can link to your GitHub portfolio on LinkedIn. Any company worth working for will care more about the quality of your work than your certifications.

If you're asking how to learn programming in the first place, it has never been more accessible! There are countless books and guides out there for any topic imaginable. So what I told apprentices at the last company I worked was, start by reading Clean Code by Bob Martin, to get a feel for the mindset with which to approach programming.

And from there, just start making stuff-- 'Breakable Toys' we call them. After print("Hello World") the first thing I made was an unbeatable tic-tac-toe game, and then a bunch of other random stupid stuff before I learned to do anything interesting or marketable.

OPINIONATED STATEMENT ALERT: You must make your first project in Elm! :) it's by far the most beginner-friendly language I've ever worked with, and really just an overall delight (even for non-beginners). Even though it's not the most marketable language right now, it's the best intro you could have into programming, and will give you a great foundation to learn other languages!

Edit: Also worth looking into apprenticeship opportunities. The only well-known one I can recommend in good faith is 8th Light's which I believe is free until they start paying you-- so a better deal than college I would say! Thankfully, many smaller local businesses are starting to embrace the apprenticeship model as well, so keep those opportunities on your radar.

Sorry, got busy for the holidays.

It seems like you're falling victim to the same cycle that a lot of us have. You can't get a job without experience, but you can't get experience without a job. It doesn't make a ton of sense.

Google/Amazon/Uber rely heavily on data structure and algorithm knowledge in their interviews. I have the first edition of this book for JS data structures. I went through it and coded all of them out. It helps to understand them.

In my master's program, I had a class on algorithm design that in hindsight, I wish I had paid more attention to. We used this book but I think there are better ones available now.

I have this book as a general interview reference which may summarize the above two suggestions better for the interviews.

Time/space complexity was also helpful information to know. Big O notation is a useful thing to have in your arsenal to begin with.

These are just suggestions for notorious interviews for infamous tech companies. Not every company is going to grill you about these concepts. But having been someone who has failed several intense programming interviews, and now conducts them for our company, I think all of this information is applicable, and a true tech company likely won't grill you about job experience if you can apply these concepts on a whiteboard without thinking about it.

Data Science is a great spot to be in right now. Spend a little time every day applying some programming principles to big datasets. It should be enough to land you a job at a solid company if even at an entry-level position.

Also, get out of AngularJS and learn Angular 2+. React/React Native also seem to be in high demand. They have become commonplace at most large companies trying to stay on the edge of technology for their users.

Thumbs up on The Guide to Getting It On! I bought my copy in the early oughts and it's fantastic. It's the book that people most often look at on my bookshelf and then gift them at the next opportunity.

Paper Assholes

I'm not sure, I never look inside it!

It's interesting how the show presents the idea that there are many "the one" right? Did you finish the show?

Its on the you tubes, Youll need a bnc male and a bnc female twist on connector and a thin wire cutter stripper like this https://www.amazon.com/Stripper-Stranded-Klein-Tools-1003/dp/B000V6W5QU/ref=sr_1_29?crid=1ESPB45V40HUJ&keywords=wire%2Bcutter%2Bstriper&qid=1564051442&s=gateway&sprefix=wire%2Bcutter%2Bstr%2Caps%2C348&sr=8-29&th=1 You can use scissors but as someone who has done probably 50000 reconnects this is what we use.

​

You can get all of these at HD, LOWES, maybe even walmart.

The hardest part is peeling back the layers to get it ready youll trim the outer layer back an inch, then pull the shielding back over that. then with the little notch on the cutters trim the core insulation back about 1/2 an inch leaving 1/2 inch of the core wire exposed. Then twist the connectors on, wrap with e-tape. connect them together.

There are tons of videos on youtube. and references on cutting the coax.

I know that one of my favorite authors, Will Wight, does get most of the money from the audiobooks. More than the ebooks, in fact, because the audiobooks cost more.

It's probably because he made his own publishing company, though, that purely publishes his books. Which makes sense, then, in line with what you're saying, with the publishers being the people to make the money.

(Also his next book comes out this Wednesday and it's going to be great. They recently even got some deal to make it so that the audiobook and the ebook release at the same time, though I don't know how this might change their payout.)

There's a book about a girl doing this that I had to read in middle school.

Shameless self plug but highly relevant.

There are other problems with taking that approach, though.

I'd rather get someone I hate, because I could just buy them this.

Hah! Just mention Ray Franz and his first book, "Crisis of Conscience", in which he strips the mask off of the Watchtower Society leaders. Ray Franz was one of the leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses until he was driven out in a real witch hunt, whereupon he wrote a tell-all book that exposes most of their dirty secrets.
