Hello, I am currently running a bootcamp on Backend Development with Nodejs and Express from SheCodeAfrica. If you are a learner, feel free to use this as a roadmap and insight into challenges you may encounter.
It is a 3 month program that started October,2020 and I will be writing monthly. At the end, I will write a post on the application process and general organization mainly for those who may want to host a similar program.
If you have any questions, tips and suggestions on the topics covered below, do drop a comment.
CURRICULUM - FIRST MONTH
- Week 1: Learn the basics of Javascript
- Week 2: Learn the basics of NodeJS
- Week 3: Start the 10 days of JavaScript challenge on Hackerrank
- Week 4: Complete the 10 days of JavaScript challenge on Hackerrank
RESOURCES

Hackerrank 10 Days of JavaScript
NOTES
This first month was focused on getting back in touch with the basics (cough cough). As a backend developer, you will need to know the ins and out of your chosen language and JavaScript has more quirks than most.
I was actually surprised when I discovered they were more than 10 challenges for the Hackerrank tutorials.
IMPORTANT P.S
I am looking for speaking opportunities as this is one requirement for graduation. Topics I love include JavaScript (especially REST vs GraphQL) and Web Accessibility.
