- I learned that there won\\\’t be enough computer science, majors, to fill all of the demand and more jobs are requiring software skills. I learned more about the different types of developers such as front-end, back-end, full stack, and quality assurance developer; and their career tracks. She discussed ways to get in the door at companies and build your portfolio. I learned that 80% of jobs are never even advertised therefore networking is very crucial.
