How programmers learn to code

90% self taught currently.

As you work longer, that scales significantly to self taught as technology moves faster and faster. Tertiary is highly foundational.
 
Guys, who of you ever had to take an IKM c# test before for a preinterview?

I know these tests and I wouldnt want to work for someone who relies heavily on the outcome of these.What are your thoughts?I hate being tested on terminology.Just put me infront of a pc, tell me your problem and I will code the working solution.

No, but test my on terms that I havnt used in over 10 years...

Most of the "big boys" I've interviewed with do panel questions. Not sure if I'd trust a written test ( as an employer ), too many brain dump etc out there. Problem solving, analytical thinking is more important than a particular tech.
 
I was self taught, and had about 11-12 years of non-professional programming experience before starting my degree. These additional studies upped my game significantly, and allowed me to grasp some subjects that were previously very difficult to self-learn (maths and stats, especially, but also CS concepts).
