Welcome to Jon Develops, the space where I share my learning journey in the world of software development.
We've all felt the desire to start something from scratch—learning a new skill, changing careers, or simply exploring an area that has always caught our attention. However, we've also faced the doubts that paralyze us: Will I be capable? Am I starting too late? Where do I begin?
You can wait indefinitely for the perfect moment, or you can take action right away and make today the first day of your new journey. And that is exactly what I have chosen to do!
My focus is on the world of software development, especially agile methodologies like Extreme Programming (XP). This approach emphasizes principles such as collaboration, high-quality code, and continuous improvement. Some of the practices I will be exploring and sharing include:
My journey is inspired by the famous song from Disney’s movie “Hercules.” Hercules starts as a beginner. He isn’t born knowing everything—what sets him apart is his perseverance, curiosity, and willingness to learn.
In this space, I will share all the tools, resources, and insights that accompany me on my journey. Books, podcasts, videos, techniques, and practices that I find useful will be here—not just to document my progress, but also to inspire and help others who are starting or looking to improve.
So here I am, sharing my day one with you. If you're interested in software development, continuous learning, or simply want to accompany me on this journey, this is the place for you. I invite you to explore the resources I'll be sharing and, most importantly, to start your own journey.
Remember: You don’t have to be good to start, but you have to start to be good. Welcome to Jon Develops!
