to all of you out there scared to get into a Dev position because of no formal education:

I don't have any finished formal education, just a bunch of experience from pet projects and free lance here and there. I applied for a position this morning, got an email before the afternoon with an invitation for an interview!

companies are looking for brains, not pieces of paper. just take the jump and try!

    And to add to that, if companies are asking for degrees, that doesn’t mean don’t apply. Apply anyway with your portfolio and experience.

    100% agree. If your not an idiot you’ll probably do fine in an entry level position.

    @balte couldn't agree more. Companies need a CV to see a a brief of your experience. Then in the interview they will validate you do or do not fit for the job. I have never been asked about my education in all my serious interviews. My LinkedIn profile gives a brief view of my experience and in the interview I can support it.
