Not a recommendation for how to learn software engineering, but rather a suggestion because I know your industry: team up with a good software developer and build a SaaS to replace Eaglesoft.
- disliketeeth 7y agohahaha! It gets the job done, though!
- dual_basis 7y agoI'm quite serious. It is a very badly written piece of software with a huge amount of legacy code. The moat for new competition is wide, because it requires knowledge of all the intricacies of dental practices as well as agreements with insurance providers and hardware manufacturers, but there is also serious money to be made here, as I'm sure you know. Your knowledge and background would be extremely valuable in a consulting capacity to a software team. I have often contemplated doing it myself, from a software engineering point-of-view it is low-hanging fruit, it just requires someone to do the legwork of logistically connecting it with the existing dental tech infrastructure.
- disliketeeth 7y agoThat's definitely true, but I'm really sick and tired of anything that has to do with teeth. Let me know if you want to work on it and I might be able to give you some feedback as a user!
- dual_basis 7y agoFair enough :) My recommendation would be to check out CS50: https://www.edx.org/cs50 https://www.edx.org/cs50
