My Journey

Before now, I have been learning frontend development using W3school and LinkedIn Learning. I even got help from a friend who linked me to a backend developer for job opportunities. But due to the fact that I was still learning and haven't built any projects, I was given a link to finish up some basics projects and get back to him.

Since then, I have been focused on learning. I intend to learn JavaScript and react before building the projects.

Now, to the matter at hand, I recently discovered ALX software engineering program through their ads, made some research and it turned out to be legit. I quickly signed up, mostly because of their curriculum (I will drop pictures on that soon), which was pretty cool since I have seen what Udacity, Coursera and other online courses have to offer on software engineering.

Another reason I signed up was because it was free! Well they said this year's program was waived by Mastercard and I will be getting a certificate after completion, love it! Though I also heard one has to pay after graduating and getting a job.

Let me break down the program duration, the software engineering program is for 12months, 70hrs a week, 10hrs a day... Maybe it won't be up to that but this is base on my research. On the first month, one is required to get 80% percent score or get eliminated! Lol not killed tho, like removed. After graduation, you get added to the "Room" for job opportunities and build your connection, cool right?

After ing for the program, I was notified the onboarding would start on 2nd of may. On 30th of April, I was sent an email to read through the curriculum, activities, required committed and projects. I will be sending screenshots of the importance ones. I realized that I will be involved in group projects, solo projects, networking and more.

Good day sir sorry to disturb I also want to learn programming.

I am learning programming but I haven't been able to complete any of my classes the time for my classes a week leaves me with no time to work.

do you have any side hustles that keeps you afloat all through the learning process,if you have any please share.
Thanks in advance...

I understand from your point of view but I don't have know any side jobs.

I even need one but the types I know are online and they're not easy to get.

Try Transcribeme
It's an online platform where you are paid to transcribe audio files into words but you have to it 100%

We started since March 14.
We are already done with the first sprint.
Currently building our second group project.

Wow
I would seriously like to connect with you and hear all about your experience.

Anyways I'm still waiting for the text in my email.

Albertone:

Alright lol

Okay what is the first step?

I already told you up there

Learn vi, emacs, git and GitHub

To put it simple, I will say my experience so far has been Amazing

I took the advantage of my previous experience and learnt ahead. I usually do the projects to be sent tomorrow, today! That way, I'm one step ahead of everyone and I keep learning.

Whenever I'm free, I help others on their projects and I enjoy it because that way, all the things I learnt stick and I don't forget them. I have made a lot of friends from helping others.

Also created a private group where our motto is *"SURVIVE THE FIRST MONTH"*

Because it will be VERY challenging! A lot of people are already dropping. I don't know when I became a motivational speaker but I keep talking to others not to quit while we do the projects together.

In the private group now, we're currently 5 people, the fewer, the better. That way I can pay attention to everyone and no one is left behind but the limit I can accept into the group are 12. So...still searching for the right ones.

If you're going for ALX and want to , you will need your peers to guide you on the right path. And I have the right people with me.

Good day, been following ur thread and progress. Iran inspiration. Considering ing. Thumps up.
How did u re- in another cohort. Did u use a different mail.?

Though I participated in A 4weeks foundation web development program(a prerequisite for the Nanodegree program) in which unfortunately, I wasn't able to write the 60mins test within the time frame to earn a Cert of completion and it expired.
Can I reapply?
Seems this software cohort is the nanodegree program?

I would like to your group. June 6th cohort.
How do I ?

If you want to apply for software engineering nano degree, you can. The next batch is starting on August

My apologies Ben but we're over 17 and I'm thinking of removing some people. I want us to be very few, that way it is easier to concentrate on everyone.

Anonymous6o6:


. Please use this opportunity to learn emacs, shell, vi, git and GitHub.
A lot of newbies are already dropping out and complaining because projects are coming in fast and it seem there's not enough time to learn.

how do I reach you boss ? I need to get in touch with you please

Can someone with no programming experience apply for alx?

Yes
But! You will need to prepare ahead or you will quit before you even start because of the world load and tasks.

I applied for the alx data analysis program but I have no experience and feel I bummed most of the questions.

Can I still make it to program?

Chimex388

I had some thoughts and decided to create another private group because they're some people here who have been sending email to the private group.

By the way, I apologize for not getting back to you guys. For those that sent their number to me on Gmail, I will add them to the group. No need to post your numbers here. I wouldn't want to derail the reason for creating this thread, send your numbers to my email.

At most I can only add 17 people! Because if we're much, It might be a bit overwhelming. For those in June cohort interested in ing the private group, send me an email with your WhatsApp number. Don't drop it here.

So far it has been a great experience, I always do my projects a day ahead of the day it is sent. So my scores looking cute lol...

I'm currently studying for the C project yet to come. Not going to lie, the learning is fun but even after knowing the projects that will be sent, I still feel worried because it looks like Spanish. But I have great people around me to help.

For this week's project, it is same as last week. Let's just say... Two weeks is being used to learn emacs, vi, shell navigation, git and GitHub before the main programming.

ALX data analysis course will be taught by Udacity. Although they're collaborating with alx to host the program, if you don't or rather if you don't score high, you won't be accepted.

@Anonymous6o6 I was looking for an online course when I stumbled on ALX ad.
I was g up and paused to confirm if is legit. I immediately browsed of ALX on nairaland here and saw ur thread. I was convinced and inspired to continue.
This your thread will help ALOT of people. Some will reply and engage MANY will read quietly.
Thank you so much for this thread, I have been greatly inspired and a bit prepared and have braced for what is it come.
I have been accepted and my cohort will start by August. I will try my very best.

Please I will send you a mail so you can send the C pdf file.

And also how best can we study emacs, shell, vi, git and GitHub. Are they a topic that can be easily covered or are there specific sections/topics we should look out for.

Thank you so much as I anticipate your reply.
