Indeed!
That is the part I look forward to the most. I just don't look forward to the overwhelming stress. A lot of people I know can testify to that.

Anyways I will be off for a while until when I have new updates.

Ensure you understand that C to a good extent before the class starts, the time frame given to learn some concepts are too short.

Haweeyaa check this

Yeah thank you so much.

Are you already taking the course?

Does that have anything to do with her experience with code? Are the course sessions live?

Kubold:

yes ,I already opted out due to work activities . I will apply back once I'm free, It is very time Demanding and tasking.

Demanding? Will an intermediate experience in programming lessen the time spent on the course or they just deliberately made it tedious?

I can't answer this we all have different mental capacity

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 registering 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.

hi, do you mind creating a WhatsApp group for those who have been accepted in the programme,
or should I create one for us ?

I'd suggest we calm down cuz the way they are referring to this program, I guess there won't be time to manage being in the slack group and also managing a WhatsApp group. I might be wrong though

It doesn't seem like a bad idea but for what purpose? Because I'm certain when the program fully commences on Monday, you won't be chanced to be active on groups unless for the sake of seeking solutions to code problems.

I'm already on an ALX software engineering WhatsApp group and there isn't much to say about it.

Also starting on Monday.
I'm also stressed out for having to wake up early to study. Sigh...
We will get through it anyways.

You read my mind bro
I have been using W3school
I'm quite familiar with the different data types (int, float, char, double)
- The conditional (if, else, if else)
- The operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical and assignment operators).

I intend to read the C pdf file sent to my email today.

you mean the materials they dropped ? I haven't really read it tbh . I just read the smaller one .

Anonymous6o6:
I already watched the git and GitHub video sent to my email. The picture below are the books we have to read for C. They're really voluminous I tell you.

Will give an update next week after the first class, for now, I have a lot to catch up on.

Were you also sent the book or you were told to download it?
Is there any guidelines to what you are going to cover in that books or na to read everything?

I just got accepted too.

Hope do you cope with
Time
Data
Power (electricity)
Side hustle?

We were sent the books in pdf files and we had to download it.
Guidelines? I already sent it during the early stage of writing it this thread. I like how the books covers all the fundamentals about C. We were encourage to read them ahead because there won't be enough time to that from Monday.

- Data? Airtel has been acting sensible lately.
#100 - 500mb
#200 - 1gb

I use the same bundle to buy data for those would ask the dial code. *141#, click on 1, my offer.

- Time
Only you can make time out, no one can help you with that. Try what works for you.

- Power
Well we always have light in my place of work

- side hustle
Not going to lie, it isn't easy at all but I always try to make it work because that work is temporary until I achieve what I want.

Good morning
I received another message today pertaining working for 3months with alx open space in Lagos. They have four different locations one can pick base on the distance. One has to report to their office 4times a week and if you quit the ALX program, you also have to quit working in the space.

I had few questions pertaining the space, will I get paid? Cause I believe there are experiences to gain working with them but they are only going to pick 100 people. I filled the form either way, fingers crossed! There's a part of me that hopes I don't get picked cause I'm really calculative about the benefits of being involved and the workload. I will update you guys how it goes later.

I found an inspiration to work harder this morning. "The unknown govt" as they call themselves held four soldiers hostages, three females and a male. The females were raped and later butchered. The male was also butchered. It was painful to watch since the man's wife was among the females that were raped and butchered. I know no place is safe on earth but I rather be in a place where I find peace of mind.

I got this message too... I have seen the message containing the books they sent I use for prep before the main course... No info on how to create an intranet account with them though
