Where to Start
If you are trying to break into the world of business and IT these days and are confused as to where to start, you are not alone. I highly recommend looking at the roadmap links below if you are looking at trying to break into the industry as an engineer. Even managers and leaders these days, are expected to understand the technologies, and be proficient, so I strongly recommend finding time for education in your week.
Out of all the links below, if like me, you prefer hands on learning, I cannot recommend DataCamp enough. It’s a pay for service, but it’s worth the money, as a fun and engaging platform, that works well across multiple devices.
