What We Cover

In This Guide…

“Software is eating the world” – this is how the founder of Netscape, one of the world’s first popular web browsers, starts a famous essay on the tech industry’s future.

The words seem sinister at first glance, yet when you think about them for a moment, they are clearly true, even obvious. There is hardly anything we do (or even say) that does not involve software; it won’t be long before our fridges start chatting to us or when software is driving our cars rather than just telling us how to get to our destination.

We look at the A to Z of some of today’s most common and exciting tech terms. From APIs to repositories, this eBook tech term guide has you covered.

I recommend this course to everyone who would like to make their first step towards a career in programming. My background is psychology, and I had nothing to do with coding, or anything technical for that matter, before I started the Full-Stack Software Developer course part-time in August 2019. In April 2020, I was offered a 2-year apprenticeship at one of the tech giants! I knew about this opportunity from Jane, the Director of Employer Engagement at Code Institute. If it was not for her, I probably would not feel confident enough to even apply.
