Excellent video with real advice, there are plenty of channels that give advice, but your advice comes from experience being on both sides. Not only do you prepare students via your bootcamp. You have also been on the hiring side for your own software company. I have been helping some of friends my who are interested in switching carriers, and when I see their portfolios, they look exactly like the simple projects I used to have in my portfolio. ( that you can tell were from a beginner tutorial). And they think it’s enough. I used to think the same thing. I was wrong. I am in the process of revamping my portfolio with business quality projects: I recently started learning c# and got an idea to do something similar from your “the one project to rule them all” video. It’s much harder to create an app that has persistent data via database, and user authentication. But you can’t make anything less than this. Especially if you have no degree. I have been working as a software engineer for past seven months now, and we do exactly that. Have a front end app, that pulls data from a database via the backend api. And not all data should be available to all users. So yes, authentication is a big part. So if you are out there learning, and you are not doing what this video recommends, I really think your are doing yourself a disservice. There is a lot of hype on UA-cam because it gets watch time, but that hype and excitement is not going to land you that job. You need a real project. Lol. I am just some dude in the UA-cam comment section, but I want to add my two cents. BTW, the book is excellent, I picked it up on kindle. Thought I knew everything, but I was wrong. There is a lot of good tips, but one in particular I did not do because I had the wrong idea about it. Would of made the process of getting my first job much easier. Instead it took me two years.
I thought about this same exact thing. Because I love netlify. But at my current job we use azure and other services. So if it is possible, use the deployment process that is as close to what you would do in a real production app. Lol. I just thought about it too. I was building an app, and was going to use googles firebase to manage data since it’s easy. But now I decided to do an asp .net c# api with MySQL deployed on Azure. Unfortunately, could not find any job listing that use firebase. At least where I was looking.
I have an alternative idea for the bug tracker. How about requirements management upstream of Jira? You could track items from the rough idea of a business person over refinements with sales etc. and finaly import them into Jira vs a web service... while Bugs are almost allways professionally tracked I see a lot of Excel or homegrown sw in this range of the process. Ps: great advice as always.
Hello Bobby, I couldn't make one thing clear from your videos. Could you please clarify it for me? Should i make 1 very big project (OAuth2 Google login JWT, role based security/PostgreSQL full stack web app with React front-end ) for my resume resume or 3-4 smaller apps?
At Coder Foundry we build 3 full stack apps. I would build one and know the code inside out. Then I would keep building them to reinforce my learning and expertise. Pick one of those as your primary demo app for interviewing.
Thanks for the content you put out, a big fan of your channel. was wondering about working with recruiters, do you have an idea or know about how a developer living outside the USA can connect with recruiters in the USA?

You are the best youtuber I saw until now :)
Thanks!
@@CoderFoundry This is true :)
Please make a video on Development vs problem solving !
We will work on that.

Thanks for the nice words. We really appreciate the support.
Thanks for the great comment! I'm glad we could help.
As always, your video is both helpful and enjoyable. Thanks!
Thanks Yehoshua.
Missed the short form content. More please!
Thanks Alden. We change up our schedule to have one or two of these a week moving forward along with LIVE content.
6,500 languages out there and here you are speaking facts
So, for the business based project, do these deploy to netlify, or is another service more suitable such as gcloud, aws, azure?
I thought about this same exact thing.
Because I love netlify. But at my current job we use azure and other services.
So if it is possible, use the deployment process that is as close to what you would do in a real production app.
Lol. I just thought about it too. I was building an app, and was going to use googles firebase to manage data since it’s easy.
But now I decided to do an asp .net c# api with MySQL deployed on Azure.
Unfortunately, could not find any job listing that use firebase. At least where I was looking.
So netlify you can but your tech stack has to fit there. Azure and AWS are better suited for hosting fullbstack apps.
I have an alternative idea for the bug tracker. How about requirements management upstream of Jira? You could track items from the rough idea of a business person over refinements with sales etc. and finaly import them into Jira vs a web service... while Bugs are almost allways professionally tracked I see a lot of Excel or homegrown sw in this range of the process.

Thats a good app idea. I like it.

Can you work in the us?
@@CoderFoundry not physically due to Visa restrictions. I was thinking about working remotely.
I think you could try and contact them directly via LinkedIn. Or locally in your country who may already doing remote work in the US.
Thank you.
You're welcome Agni.
Sir make a video on cyber security projects
