Gave my second ever (and first full length) tech talk this week! π
I presented a talk about fundamental JavaScript concepts to know for tech interviews, geared towards those of us new to the field. I was super, super nervous but I'm happy to say it went well! No questions from the audience either, which was a relief! π
As a career changer trying to break into the tech industry, I've been trying to put myself out there which can be scary at times!Sadly this one wasn't recorded (I've attached a screenshot of one slide below featuring Ratatouille π) and I'm pretty bummed about that, but it was a great experience all the same!
