Comment on Ask HN: What would you teach to an intern at your company?

Comments

Git, code review processes (doing and receiving), agile processes (or the processes of the methodology you use there), point to good learning resources (good books, good papers, good courses, good blogs/blogposts).

Have one on one meetings and learn how else can you support him/her

Hi soneca, do you have any good learning resources or good books you would recommend? Thanks

That depends a lot on your current level and field. I myself am a junior frontend developer. I started from scratch through freeCodeCamp.org and I passionately recommend it to anyone to starting to learn to code.

If you passed that stage, I recommend the book The Pragmatic Programmer as a very good book on how to become a good software developer. The book Clean Code is a good starting point too.

Other than it depends on your circumstances. A good heuristic (particularly in frontend world) is to study the language, not frameworks.
