SheCodeAfrica C3 Month 1

SheCodeAfrica C3 Month 1

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

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.
