Internet Essentials for Developers

Master the foundations on which modern software is built and jump to the next level in your career

  • Decode the technical language of senior developers
  • Become a respected colleague everyone asks for advice

Are you too busy coding to see the bigger picture?

For much of my development career, I ignored the technology on which modern software is built.

I focussed solely on new features, code style, and readability. Nothing else.

This mindset slowed my career growth:

  • I struggled to design software.
  • I was confused by words like HTTP, SSL, & DNS.
  • I avoided discussions with senior developers.

So I spent 13 years reaching a level that should have taken just 5.

But once I identified the gaps in my knowledge and took steps to fill them, things improved fast.

When I understood the capabilities of the internet, I began designing software with confidence, used technical language effectively, and ultimately became the top-earning developer on my team.

Now I’m sharing what I’ve learnt about the internet with you, so you can achieve your potential as a developer in months, not years.
