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.
Please can you send the C pdf to my email? I just got accepted. It's time I start preparation in advance.

Been up since 3:45 trying to complete last week's project. Mehn... It's not easy! It just keeps returning error from my phone, I don't know if it is because I'm using my phone for it but I don't think that's the case.

I haven't done yesterday's project and another ones were sent today. I intend to finish git and work on Emac today. I'm trying not to over push myself cause it had an impact on me last week Sunday. Could barely open my eyes and the headache felt like my head was going to explode.

Anyways I reached out to the community for help on my issues, and I have been getting help. I also noticed the number of participants have dropped, probably my imagination and from the announcement I read this morning, it is certain we're now on the real deal!

While on a project, I was redirected for a test. A general test involving HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, C, Linux, Data Structures and Algorithm.

My mind was like *"wtf bro, I'm still a noob on data structures, Linux and few others"*

Well the score is not really important according to them. Mehn... I still have a lot of projects and no taking breaks.

No they won't ask for a computer science degree
I just got admitted

I just felt like saying this for those that intend to go for the program.

You have to be PREPARED! Emotionally, mentally, and physically.

For those without laptop, don't just give up! I don't laptop and I know there will come a stage where it will be needed but I hope before then I'm able to get a laptop.

Before ALX, I was learning frontend using my phone, I used an app called "SPCK" to build projects. Check it out on playstore.

What's the full scope of software engineering. Does it go beyond frontend and backend development?

I have dedicated this week to re-reading the previous projects I have done. Especially pseudocode and basic algorithm.

Thanks

I want to know how to officially drop out of it.

Good afternoon friends. Hope we are warming up for the onboarding starting next week? I wish all of us success in this journey. For our seniors already onboard, may God keep strengthening you all. Meanwhile, I am yet to get any mail from ALX team.

Re: My Software Engineering Journey In ALX Africa by Anonymous6o6: 12:02pm On May 31, 2022
It seriously hasn't been easy.

One thing I wanna explain to all those intending to apply. Please get the materials and prepare ahead.

This message is not to discourage anyone please but to help individuals who intend to finish the program.

A friend of mine told me that last year, out of 24,000 students that applied for his set, only 4000 graduated. Not because they weren't serious enough to continue but some had to drop out probably because they didn't make up to 80% score in the first month. Some because of the workload and projects.

Let me give you a break down using python as an instance. You will be sent materials to read and watch on python with several projects to do for a couple of days. You aren't just getting projects from python alone, and at most you're required to finish reading the materials in a day or two. Then comes to projects.

All emphasis is that you should always prepared five steps ahead. My grade has not been good not because the project is too difficult but because of chance and at times, the checker drives me crazy.

I finished my projects on Git with my working laptop, though I didn't do it on the sandbox, I did it with git bash and linked it to my GitHub only to realize I wasn't scored!! I had to redo it all over again using the sandbox.

From the picture below was how I realized that I wasn't scored that day.

It's sad and same time enlightening about your predicaments. I want to ask that is it your mobile phone you have been using to do your projects? If yes, was it the reason you were not graded on your projects? Thank.
I sent my email and phone number of my siggy still haven't received the pdf you promised.
Re: My Software Engineering Journey In ALX Africa by Lampert505(m): 9:10am On Jun 02, 2022
Is the programme still on
And how do I apply?

This was the message I received today. I just realized that 70hrs a week would be 14hrs a day, that is, excluding Saturdays and Sundays. The good news is that I can always watch the
tutorial videos at my convenient time.

For the the first month which requires 80% score to continue the program, it is necessary to be active online (they actually score base on one's presence). The second thing is that you have to complete all projects sent to your email (These projects are usually sent with limited time).

Indeed I make use of my phone most of the time and only use a laptop at work.

I have gotten a hang of things that you need if you wanna make it to the first month.

- Never be shy to ask questions, being confident is good but overconfidence can ruin someone.
- Always use the SANDBOX for your projects!! This cannot be overemphasize. I did my projects on Git bash and wasn't graded so please note that.
- whenever a project is out, even if you don't intend to do it immediately, go through the materials and questions, just to have an idea of what you will be working on.
