A Journeyman Developer is a mid-level software developer who has moved beyond the beginner or apprentice stage but has not yet reached the level of an expert or master. Journeyman developers have a strong command of programming languages, frameworks, and tools, can complete tasks independently, and write reliable, maintainable code, but they are still refining their skills. This Skillsoft Aspire Journey will assist in developing your programming skills.
