The No-Degree Tech Career Advantage 2.0 isn't about trying to change who you are, ignoring your lack of formal education, or pushing you into roles you're not suited for. Instead, it's about understanding your unique strengths and helping you thrive in tech without a degree.
This 180-page E-Book is filled with battle-tested strategies to help you enjoy these benefits:
Boosted confidence: You'll stay motivated and won't lose focus on your tech career goals.
Create habits and routines you can stick to: For learning, project building, job applications, interview prep, networking, and continuous skill improvement.
Improved focus: When you learn how to optimize your learning environment, you'll become less distracted and more productive.
Less resistance and procrastination: You'll know how to motivate yourself to tackle even those tasks you find challenging or uncomfortable.
Stress-free job applications: Applications will be completed thoroughly and on time, without unnecessary stress and anxiety.
Emotional regulation: You'll learn how to control your imposter syndrome whenever you feel overwhelmed, anxious or frustrated.
Clear career path: You'll no longer feel lost in the tech world as you'll learn how to chart your own unique path to success.
When self-taught learning doesn't seem to work for aspiring developers, expensive degrees or bootcamps become the most common "solution".
This is a quick and easy path that doesn't require as much self-discipline and motivation. But as with any other quick solution, this one comes at a cost as well.
The downsides of traditional tech education are well known and researched. Here are just some of the short- and long-term drawbacks: high tuition costs, student loan debt, opportunity cost of time spent in school, outdated curricula, lack of practical experience, and often a mismatch between learned skills and industry needs.
But perhaps the biggest drawback is that a degree or bootcamp certificate doesn't guarantee a job.
If you spend years and thousands of dollars on education, you might still struggle to land your first tech job.
This means you'll face challenges in standing out in a competitive job market…
Your confidence might plummet as you compare yourself to candidates with degrees…
You'll be miserable as your job search drags on and your savings dwindle…
This means that many of the challenges you experience in breaking into tech will unfortunately not go away even if you get a traditional education.
I'm Ethan Reed, a self-taught developer and best-selling author with over 15 years of experience in tech.
I've lived the journey of breaking into tech without a degree and I managed to turn it into my "superpower".
After figuring out what works for me, I spent years of research and hundreds of hours of trial and error, to develop strategies that would also work for other aspiring developers without degrees.
Those same career strategies, which you can find in The No-Degree Tech Career Advantage 2.0 E-Book, are now helping thousands of aspiring developers land their first tech jobs all around the world.
Want to see chapter breakdowns? Scroll down past the testimonials.
Before the No-Degree Tech Career Advantage, I didn't know what it took to break into tech without a CS degree. Now I see the tech world differently, it's closer to me, I understand more about how to approach it. I feel more confident, I also understand my strengths and limitations, which I didn't before. Thank you for being there!
The No-Degree Tech Career Advantage book is great! It's a quick read, has many practical exercises and it even includes templates for them. I've been implementing some of the exercises in my job search and have already seen a major improvement. I can't wait to continue using it!
I've been struggling with extremely negative reactions/outbursts (anxiety, self-doubt, etc.), when facing coding challenges or job rejections. We also have problems with focus and motivation. I get "distracted" by everything. Nothing keeps me on track. After implementing the No-Degree Tech Career Advantage, many things have already come in handy and useful to us. We now approach challenges differently, to "prepare" for setbacks and rejections. And I have to admit that it is working. I feel much better than before. Keep up the great work and thank you very much for everything!
Our problem was lack of direction and inconsistency. I couldn't stick to a learning plan, didn't want to do coding projects. Now I feel better, I am much more attentive to finding patterns and removing obstacles. I also notice that my progress is a reflection of how I feel, so I try to be as motivated and focused as possible. Thank you for all of your advice, thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us to better accept or learn to work towards our tech career goals.
First, I'll walk you through the unique blueprint of the self-taught developer's mind so you can understand why and how you function differently than traditionally educated developers.
You'll learn:
The 11 Essential Skills of Successful Self-Taught Developers: By developing these essential skills on a regular basis, you'll be far less likely to lose your motivation and get stuck in Career Traffic Jams.
FUEL Strategies To Keep Your "Self-Taught Engine" Running Smoothly: With concrete examples, systems and step-by-step frameworks that you can implement right away.
A Thriving Without a Degree Checklist: You can use this checklist every time you're struggling or unfocused to quickly identify the root cause of your problem and choose the right FUEL Strategy in the right moment.
This part of the system will give you a strong foundation that will make everything else easier – from learning to coding projects to job applications and regulating your emotions.
Self-taught developers need a slightly different environment (their learning space, project workspace and overall life organization) in order to stay focused, not forget things, and avoid living in a chaotic learning journey.
In this part, you'll learn about:
Supercharged Habits & Routines: The Psychology of Scarcity How to create learning and coding habits and routines that actually stick (for daily practice, project work, job applications, interview prep, networking, and skill improvement)
Habit Integration Frameworks: So you don't have to use up your willpower every day and make your responsibilities automatic and effortless (which will save you from procrastination, inconsistency and self-doubt)
Workspace Reorganization Strategies: With a few subtle changes in the spaces you spend the most time learning and coding, you'll be able to prevent messy and cluttered environments that distract you from focusing.
Daily Workflows: These will help you structure your days in optimal ways so you can function as best as possible (both for workdays and weekends) in fun and engaging ways that easily integrate into your existing lifestyle.
Once your environment is organized in the proper way, you'll be far less distracted and "scattered", as you'll be able to focus, stay calm and make progress in an environment that's built just for your learning style.
Because your learning journey is self-directed, you have a unique ability to get the same amount of work done within hours that would take traditional students days or even weeks… …IF you can organize your mind and life in a way where you can spend most of your time in your Deep Work State, instead of Career Traffic Jams.
You'll learn:
6 Ultra-Productivity Strategies: These will help you unlock your full potential on a daily basis
A Simple Strategy to Eliminate Distracting Thoughts: These are one of the key reasons why you can't focus – you're preoccupied with all the different thoughts in your head that take your attention away from the task at hand.
The Finisher Framework: You'll learn how to actually finish every project or course you start (and you'll be able to help and guide yourself in a way you'll gladly accept), so you don't jump from one learning resource to another every few days once you get bored of it.
After you implement the strategies from this part, you'll no longer resist and procrastinate boring and uncomfortable tasks, and be all over the place. You'll see the "big picture", get the important stuff done, and make much faster progress on things that are important to your tech career goals.
You likely thrive at topics you're interested in, while struggling with ones you don't like or don't find interesting. Well, that's about to change.
You'll master:
The #1 Mistake Self-Taught Developers Make: That turns learning into a never-ending battle (and how to easily avoid it with a simple shift).
Self-Taught-Friendly Learning Strategies: You'll be able to use these to learn and remember more while studying considerably less. You'll also learn how to activate the right sides of your brain when it comes to different challenges you face.
How to Eliminate Learning Distractions: If you would rather do anything but study.. If your mind keeps racing all the time… If you're constantly fidgety and going to social media… You'll be able to change all of that and bring your focus back through a set of proven but counterintuitive strategies.
How to Unlock Your Endless Motivation State: You'll learn about 3 key strategies that you can use to reignite your motivation and keep your motivation levels high – no matter how boring or annoying the subject you're trying to learn might be to you.
After implementing these strategies, you'll no longer struggle with learning and feel stressed out and anxious about it. This will have a ripple effect on your life, as there will be one less thing to worry about, and a lot more time that you can spend doing things you enjoy while still making progress.
Projects that you find boring, monotonous or uninteresting can become the bane of your existence.
Luckily, there's a set of specific strategies that you can use to help yourself complete projects independently, specifically tailored to self-taught developers.
You'll learn:
When You Should Absolutely NOT Work on Projects: And a much better time when you'll do them without resistance.
How To Get EXCITED To Do Your Projects: This framework works so well that you'll race to work on your projects ahead of your scheduled time and ask yourself if you can do more, without ever having to force yourself.
A Protocol For Facing Project Resistance: In the rare case that you might not want to work on your projects, you'll be able to use a gentle step-by-step system to get them done anyway, without a fight with yourself.
Once you've taken care of both learning and project work, you'll already make your self-taught journey A LOT easier – as these key areas of your career are triggers for the majority of the struggles and self-doubt you'll experience.
Now that you have the fundamentals down, the really fun part begins.
With the strategies from this chapter, you'll learn how to engage your "HyperDrive" (that allows spaceships in the movies to travel faster than the speed of light).
This means that you'll be able to enter a distraction-free mode when you need to and get your learning and projects done even faster.
Yes, the tasks that "should take only 5 minutes but end up taking 2 hours" will now actually take you the amount of time they need.
You'll discover:
15 Deep Work Strategies: You can use these to engage the HyperDrive mode of your brain and effortlessly enter your
Focus Zone Self-Taught Screen Time Management Strategies: To shift yourself from distractions into the "real work", and stop yourself from craving distractions all the time
Focus Amplifiers: You'll be able to use these to gently bring yourself back from a distracted to a focused state within seconds, and help yourself stay focused for hours on end
After implementing this part, you'll be able to get the most out of your Self-Taught Brain and drive it as confidently as professional developers.
Next, you'll be able to learn how to regulate your emotions so you don't get frustrated and discouraged as easily any more.
You'll master:
4 Calm-Down Techniques: You'll be able to use these whenever you feel overwhelmed, anxious or frustrated to bring yourself back to a state of calm and focus
Patience Training: You'll be able to teach yourself how to become more patient (instead of wanting everything you want to happen right away)
Social Skills: You'll learn how to become an empathetic, active and respectful networker that other professionals enjoy connecting with (rather than being unintentionally awkward and speaking without thinking)
These skills will help you integrate into the tech world that's different than you are – and stay calm and collected at times when you would otherwise give up.
Self-taught developers are known to have imposter syndrome, but there are ways to minimize and even prevent those feelings from happening.
You'll learn:
6 Self-Doubt Prevention Strategies: These will help you avoid 90% or more of imposter syndrome moments that disrupt your progress
A Simple Confidence Boost Strategy: That will help you quickly "extinguish" the situation before it gets out of hand
3 Key Calm-Down Protocols: That will help you quickly calm down and refocus in the rare case you can't regulate your emotions
These strategies will help you avoid many internal conflicts that damage your self-esteem and career progress, and will teach you how to become a master of your emotions.
Some discipline strategies, although perfectly suited for 90% of learners, just don't work for self-taught developers. Because your journey is different, you need a set of positive discipline strategies that's tailor-made for your own needs.
You'll discover:
9 Key Positive Discipline Strategies: You'll be able to set healthy boundaries without "triggering a World War III" with yourself, to teach yourself what's acceptable and what isn't in a gentle, but firm way (and so you don't use your self-taught status as an excuse to not do the things you don't want to do).

I come from a small town you've probably never heard of, which is why you might not know me yet.
I started out as a self-taught coder in my parents' garage…
And quickly graduated to a senior developer position at a Fortune 500 company.
Many of my colleagues had CS degrees.
They had years of formal education…
They had internships at top tech companies…
They had strong alumni networks…
They had confidence in their skills…
But I Always Managed to Keep Up and Even Excel – With No Formal Degree
Because I knew exactly how to leverage my unique self-taught perspective…
Then, when other self-taught developers saw that I could help them as well, they invited me to host workshops and webinars for aspiring techies.
Right now, I do about 200 workshops every year, where I help self-taught developers with their unique challenges – even though I'm now in a leadership position.
When attendees at workshops started asking me to give them something they could read at home, I started writing books.
I ended up writing 12 tech career books, most of which topped the national bestseller lists and competed with titles like "Cracking the Coding Interview".
My stack of best-selling books that helped 80,000+ developers launch their tech careers
Over the past 15 years, more than 80,000 aspiring developers read my books or attended my lectures.
Which is quite a few, considering I started from absolute zero.
My work has been featured across every major tech publication through articles and podcasts
This Created a Ripple Effect Throughout the Tech Industry
All of a sudden, journalists from TechCrunch, Wired, and The Verge started interviewing me, and aspiring developers from all over the world started reaching out to me for help.
I wanted to help – so I learned new programming languages just to be able to share my knowledge with them.I helped thousands of aspiring developers through YouTube videos and interviews
Over the years, I also worked with over 500 self-taught developers 1-on-1 who came to me as "their light at the end of the tunnel".
I mentored them online, worked with them on their projects and job applications, and solved their challenges.

Before I answer this question, let me ask you this first: how much time would you SAVE if you had a clear roadmap to your first tech job without endless trial and error? If it's a significant amount of time (and stress!), then I think you and I both know what you need to do.
I've been developing and using these tools for over 15 years now. Much of my work has been focused specifically on helping developers overcome technical challenges because I know that being self-taught in this case can be particularly challenging.
I get this question all the time. And my answer is always the same.
I've been studying this subject for over 15 years now. I wrote 12 books about it and have personally tested the tools on thousands and thousands of aspiring developers.Trust me when I say this – by now I've made all my materials so bulletproof that I have yet to see them fail.You'll be surprised by how well and how quickly this system will work for you. But don't take my word for it – see for yourself. Try the kit, and if it doesn't absolutely exceed your expectations, e-mail my team, and they'll return your full investment – no questions asked.

Since you will receive the materials via email, you can of course access them anytime and anywhere you wish.
Once you receive the materials, they are yours to keep. You can also print them out and save them in physical form or make visual reminders out of them to help you stay consistent.
The contents of the system are intended for aspiring developers at all levels.
These are proven career-launching techniques that simply work, regardless of your current skill level. Some even work for experienced developers looking to level up their careers!
I totally agree with you. Your journey is different from all others. And this is really not a bad thing! It just means that there are predictable patterns in successful self-taught journeys and that the methods will work for you as they work for most other aspiring developers.
The career techniques I will share with you are based on the psychological patterns and responses of many of the developers I have worked with and observed in my 15-year career. Regardless of their background and special characteristics, some things remain the same and work. They are human. In the nature of all of us.
Therefore, I am sure that you will also learn something new, that you will better understand your unique strengths and that you will gain new approaches and techniques that will make your tech career journey easier and more successful.
