Adding Value

No matter how thorough or well maintained a project is it will never keep up with the amount of changes happening on a day to day basis in the wider Internet ecosystem. Epicodus, and Learn How To Program, are both structured to give you a wide base to stand on, and from which you will be able to explore concepts at a deeper level. This section will concern itself with some of those things.

# Your Education

The software you write as you learn at Epicodus is only the means to the end of educating yourself and transitioning into a developer role. Ultimately your goal should be two-fold:

1. Teaching yourself how to teach yourself the concepts you are being introduced to at this mad-dash, break neck speed. There are a million details, a thousand commands, hundreds of concepts, and only twenty weeks to learn. There just aren't enough hours in the day to learn everything completely, but there is enough time to give yourself the tools that will help you dive a little deeper the next time you come across something you only skimmed the surface of at Epicodus.
2. Make yourself into the kind of person that other people would want to hire! This means something a little different for everyone, because no one thing is going to work for everyone. If you're able to understand what you enjoy most about coding & technology, and can focus in on that, then you can proudly say "This is something I'm passionate about, and I want you to pay me to be passionate about it!"
