Hi, I'm Summit Mehrotra, I'm the VP of Product at Dev Path and this is the developer helpline. So today's question is from Sebastian. He's a former developer who took a two year hiatus and he's asking what should I do to get back into the field? That's a great question. So first of all, welcome back to the field. It's an ever changing field. Lots of exciting stuff happening. I'd say a few things. First, you can start off with brushing up some of your basics. The usual data structures, algorithms, etc. Then get your gears moving. Do a boot camp of something like technology you want to get conversant with. Get started with that. And then build something. That's the best way to kind of get back into the game. Build something. And there's lots of open source technologies and tooling out there these days. You can build literally anything on the cloud. So do something, build something as to your portfolio. And lastly, as you get ready to get talking to prospective employers, you can do mock interviews and peer mentoring sessions. And there's lots of great technology and platforms out there these days, AI based that allow you to do that to your hearts content. So do all of this and you'll be back in the saddle in no time. For more tips on growing your developer career, make sure you follow us at devpath.com.
