From Jazz Guitarist to JavaScript Developer #21

Closed mostmojo closed 4 years ago

mostmojo commented 4 years ago

After 12+ years as a musician, I became a developer. The what, the how and the why. I will also draw upon the similarities and differences of playing an instrument and coding in general.

A brief of what the talk will be like here

Rough Summary

Disciplines of music vs coding Time Effort Persistence 'Bugs' Continuous stepping stones / drilling scales

Post performance vs post product launch reflection Learning a language - reading the stave vs reading a text editor (notes, rests vs curly brackets, for loops, etc) Brief comparison of some JavaScript code vs a sheet of music - can you see the similarities? Deploying vs Mastering Learning the fundamentals and jumping to other frameworks vs learning the theory and applying to another instrument 'The ongoing quest as a life long learner' How developing and music is both technical, thus the jump is not as scary as it seems. (Use examples)

Sounds great. Would be great to have a short abstract/summary of the talk in the description, since medium articles may contain a paywall.

Where and when could you give that talk?

Sure! This would be for the 21st Nov. talk in Nicosia :)
