Overview

Episode 2 has been a long time coming and this is one that the more junior among you might find useful! In this episode I talk to Matthew Williams, an inspiring web developer for Vita Group who has a hunger to learn more about the tech that surrounds his roll.

We talk about the usage of data in web based architectures, when to use SQL or NoSQL and how to keep it secure.

Content

Introductions 📑

Matthew gives us a deep dive into his career so far and open a window to the sheer amount you learn as a developer in your first 3 years.

Development Bootcamps 🏋️

Matthew attended a 6 month full stack web development bootcamp instead of shelling out to go to university. We compare the benefits of the bootcamp to my experience at university and vice versa.

It might help YOU decide what path to go down!

Most Interesting Projects 🛠️

Matthew talks about one of the big projects he worked on at JD Sports which leads us on to data structures and how to store information correctly for it's usecase.

Data TECH (❁´◡`❁)

Matthew was interested in learning more about event streaming services and how they differ to your standard ETL approaches. We talk about Apache Kafka, SQL and NoSQL tech like Azure Cosmos DB.

Data Security 🔐

Security is one of the hardest aspects of data management to master. I talk about the various basic techniques you can implement to manage the security of your business information in all of the systems that build up a web based application.
