Online bootcamp Practicum by Yandex is excited to announce that we’ll be hosting a series of webinars "How to Break into Tech" in May.

Our series of webinars hosted by master programmers will walk you through the basics of becoming a skilled tech professional. This won’t be a simple to-do list. You’ll get hands-on experience with what beginners go through during their first years in programming, from tackling imposter syndrome, to getting involved in open source projects, building their own, and landing jobs.
