However, I think you might be able to hit that last step earlier than you might think. Even better than a Coding Bootcamp is an internship with a company, which not only will let you learn _loads_, but will also _pay you money_ to do it! An unbeatable deal! And you can still learn more on the side! I recommend trying to do some work toward applications (completing all of Course 7 ["Getting Hired as a Web Developer"(http://www.theodinproject.com/getting-hired-as-a-web-developer)]) right after finishing Course #4 ["Ruby on Rails"](http://www.theodinproject.com/ruby-on-rails). + + + + ## More Things to Learn This is sort of more of an afterthought than it probably should be, but it could be useful to learn Python.
