THRIVE for Developers NOW LIVE!
Lately we seem to be launching a ton of great new campaigns for students, small business, and now our IT Pro community. And given how hard the economic changes of late have hit everyone I know in the IT community (among other places), this is a refreshing bit of good news. Here’s a little more about Thrive:
We’ve heard from lots of developers that times are tough. You’re doing more with less, applying your skills more broadly, and maybe even learning new tools. That’s why we created Thrive – a one-stop community hub that offers job postings, technical content, and community resources. So whether you’re seeking new ways to differentiate yourself on the job, or you need to re-tool your skills for that next big role, Thrive has the resources to help you get there faster.
