On this episode, RCR Wireless News visits with The Iron Yard, a national code school, with a campus in Austin, Texas. Travis Spicewood, campus director for Iron Yard, and Coders’ host Victor Argeda Jr., join Inside Telecom Careers to give us a better understanding where and how software developers learn to code.
