I'm Brian Jenney, an engineering manager, full stack developer, and the owner of Parsity.io, an online coding school. I learned to code at 30 after leaving behind a difficult past of addiction.
Since then, I've worked at multiple companies, host "The Develop Yourself Podcast" for early career developers, written a wealth of articles, and regularly speak at events.
I live in the SF Bay Area with my three kids, where I continue to share my journey and help others transition into tech.
With his wellspring of industry knowledge and excellent teaching abilities, Brian is the perfect person to learn from for Developers of all skill levels.
He is uniquely able to motivate and teach in an engaging way that makes you strive to improve as well as provide all the tools necessary to reach your goals.
This was awesome. Thank you!
This is great information for anyone starting their journey toward becoming a software developer. Technical skills aside, the soft skills Brian mentions are really valuable and underrated - especially the details on pairing an exercise routine with learning to code.
Thanks for this course, I was feeling stuck in my career as a developer and needed some guidance on how to keep improving. I especially like the tip about working on side projects you are emotionally invested on. I constantly run into the trap of working on side projects my friends invite me to, which I end up not enjoying so much and lose motivation quite fast. But now I will adjust my course to do more of what I like. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this great course, Brian. You were very helpful. I love how positive you are and how you deliver it.
Thank you for jumpstarting my journey in tech and providing very targeted guidance!
I had not interviewed for quite a while and was not having a lot of success in previous interviews. Brian not only worked with me on the technical aspect of coding challenges and the best approaches for take home assignments but also gave me a stronger foundation in my Javascript skills and coached me through an enduring interview circuit.
Having Brian as a mentor is not only a joy, but the best career decision I've made in the past few years.
Great Insight to Become a good developer.
Awesome course
