Description

The Coding Career is a community of people who have bought the book of the same name, written by Shawn Swyx Wang. It works mainly on Discord and Circle.

The Coding Career Handbook is a book that will teach you how to transition from junior to senior developer. It is filled with guides, strategies, and techniques, derived from the author's personal experience.

You can read 4 chapters of the book for free before buying it, to see if you are interested. Although the book costs $59, for $99 you will also get lifetime access to the community.

The community works mainly on Discord, where you will find like-minded people who have also read the book. Members discuss the book and exchange new ideas daily. They mostly talk about learning in public stuff, but you can also find off-topic channels such as pets and health. On the other hand, the group is a great place to share your work and even find new jobs with the job board.

The Coding Career has also a knowledge base on Circle. Inside, you can participate in the Creators Mastermind and watch past workshops, as well as be notified when new ones appear. Furthermore, you will find a growing list of resources such as articles, books suggestions, podcasts, and videos. This is also a place where members organize local meetups to meet others in person (usually in the United States).

For anyone looking for career advice as a coder but is tired of being told they have to do X or never do Y. Shawn is sharing his personal experiences and knowledge of navigating these sometimes overwhelming waters in the hopes you might find something useful.
