In this session, Emma will take you through the 5 things that you, as a self-guided learner can embrace to ensure you are learning in the most effective way. You will learn how to create your own curriculum, why cultivating an interest in learning itself is going to be your best bet and even how to leverage your developer communities for maximum impact. Each tip is backed by evidence and aimed at empowering developers to thrive in their learning journeys.
