Dev and Security Walkthroughs

Time I studied for 2 weeks before taking the test. I wanted to take it on April 30th, the last day of April. Why App Builder? Work and personal pick related. I failed the PD2 twice and decided to take a break. I'm going to wait for the PD2 test to update itself. The PD2 went from a passing cutoff of 62% to 70%.

What would happen if you had that money every month? What happens if you get sick, laid off, a recession hits, etc. May 5, 2018 is when I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a software engineering degree. Did it pay off? I'd say so. Having a degree lets you work at places that require one. My last place of employment required a degree, no exceptions. Without that experience, I wouldn't have landed my BEST...
