You’ve heard from many students and graduates about how Udacity played a part of their educational and/or professional journeys. This time, we sit down for a quick segment with Matt Holloway, Director of Software Engineering at Barnes & Noble NOOK. Matt talks about why he’s personally taking a Udacity Nanodegree and why he believes it’s important to stay on top of the latest programming education. It’s really helpful and inspiring to get an insider perspective on keeping up with the latest in software, why you can’t get too comfortable in a quickly changing landscape and how Matt makes a concerted effort to understand what the developers on his team do.

Want to share your Udacity story and be featured on our blog? We want to hear from you! Drop us a line at social@udacity.com. And don’t forget, enrollment for all six Nanodegree programs is now open, so head on over and have a look.
