Recommended Readings for Developers at the Start of their Careers

Marketing Team

As part of our hiring process, we do a standardized, at-home, non-time-limited Work Sample Test. The goals of the work sample test are to provide applicants a standardized way to demonstrate their abilities in web development, and are for the most part framework agnostic, even though we prefer Django, applicants with experience in Rails or Express are welcome to use their preferred tool. This article contains some readings and resources that we consider "nice to have" knowledge for applicants or anyone interested in working in web development.
