Software development is such a difficult field that it is nearly impossible to succeed without some sort of support system. With so many popular languages, frameworks, tools, and libraries available, having someone to guide, mentor, and refer you will greatly increase your chances of success.
So I've discovered amazing communities you can join for free that will help you connect with others who share your industry experience, failures, and successes.
