I’ve seen many people discussing whether or not a software developer needs a college degree. Usually both sides come to the conclusion that, “No, a college degree is not needed. It’s just a piece of paper to get one’s foot in the door.” They reach this conclusion, because there are enough successful developers to conclude, based on the data, that a degree isn’t needed. I tend to disagree. Because overwhelmingly – software developers do need a degree. But it isn’t for the reason you might expect.
A college degree is a huge boon to regular every day software developers in the corporate world. Why? Because it provides a framework for communication. I got my degree over 10 years ago now. However, I can talk to recent college graduates using the concepts I learned in college. I know what to expect out of a strong graduate, or someone who skated by. All of this on just a few questions. So – is a college degree necessary? No – not absolutely. Are there advantages in getting a degree? Yes. Absolutely.
Hopefully the courses above will help provide something useful for those who have not gained a degree – or for those looking to pursue one.
