Team Dynamics and Soft Skills for Developers | Don’t Imitate
Course description
Whether you've learned software development at a school, bootcamp, online, or are entirely self-taught, there is one key aspect to being a developer that you were likely never trained on: how to deal with people on a team.
Developers are also team members. Yet, team dynamics and soft skills are never taught to coders.
Hi, I'm Tony Alicea, a 25-year veteran in web and software development both as a developer, designer, and manager. I'm a bestselling Udemy instructor and Pluralsight author. You can find me speaking on podcasts like JavaScript Jabber and at conferences like React Summit.
My goal in creating this course, just like in my other courses that have been taken by 345,000 students, is to help you be the best developer possible, the kind that keeps a job.
To that end, in this course I am providing you my knowledge from over 25 years of experience both working as a developer with other devs and designers, and managing devs myself. I want to help you enjoy your day-to-day work, by having the best possible interactions with your team members which will also help you build great software and minimize your stress as a developer.
Read more about the course
In this course you'll learn frameworks and techniques for interacting with your fellow devs, designers, and managers. We'll discuss communication techniques for everything from direct messages to code reviews. You'll learn how to manage developers, how teams can deal with crisis situations, and how your view of yourself can improve your career experiences.
I made this course because I believe it is the big missing piece of every software developer's education, and contributes to a lot of unnecessary stress and poorly built software. I hope this course helps you enjoy your work with your team as you build great software together!
