ALX Africa Software Engineering Journey - From Zero To Hero! by Sensivism: 10:32am On Sep 12, 2022 |
Introduction I do not need to say my name, with time we will communicate on first name basis. But right now this is how my ALX Africa Software Engineering Journey began. My crave for web development has been immense. Anytime i visit a website i always wonder what sorcery is going on there. I have tried all self learning and built some little projects on my own but my progress is not direct even with my wordpress skills. I was just everywhere, from one language to the other but my hunger never diminished, not even for a day. I know i will learn the sorcery behind it all and i have actively chased anything that will set my path right. I stumbled on ALX Software Engineering and i checked a lot about them from reviews and all. The curriculum is what appealed the most to me and i got hooked. You see, my reason for joining is not for the job prospects. I just want to be able to build things, those software that will solve problems. I have a business outlook to it all. You know, solve problems and people will pay for the solutions. Thus, I did the application and it was successful with resumption on the 19th of September, 2022 but i had another problem ... I have a full time job, your ideal 9 - 5 and i do not know how i will balance the hours required by my job and ALX Software Engineering. But being who i am, with a knack for crazy adventure and challenges. I have decided to take this head on. I will do my job and i will conquer ALX Software Engineering. This is why i made this thread so i can be accountable to myself and YOU! So if you are in my cohort and starting by 19th of September, 2022. This thread is for all for us, let us be accountable to ourselves. What Have i done so far I have gone on to study the following: - EMACS and VIM - Shell Commands - Git and GitHub - I am now studying C My Strategy My strategies are simple: - Study Ahead - Do my tasks - Build Projects - Teach what i have learnt (You can only teach it when you understand it) - Solve problem for others - Actively engage with other learners I cannot tell what will happen in 12 months but i have decided to take it day by day. The journey of a thousand miles starts with a step! sensivism 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello Guys, Do not despair. There will be naysayers and those who do not see value in this. Do not try to convince them. People talk down on things for different reasons including deep seated anger and resentment. Life is per head, carry your cross willingly. There will be dark days and endless tunnels, you just have to persevere and keep on moving. ALX Africa Software Engineering has not promised to make you a complete developer, they only created a platform for you to get initial and probably intermediate skills. The onus is on you to become anything else and the sky is big for all. Keep Moving and marching or crawling, do not stay in a place I will like to hear from you. Let the fire burn! I cannot tell what will happen in 12 months but i have decided to take it day by day. |

Anxiously waiting for the onboarding email., still yet to drop in. With complaints from others, this is a challenge i would have been unhappy to have missed. I want to see how far I can go in this program. |

Enough with this spammy threads. Do your journey at home in peace |
Re: ALX Africa Software Engineering Journey - From Zero To Hero! by Sensivism: 9:43am On Sep 13, 2022 |
GREATIGBOMAN: I knew you are angry but i do not have your solution. You can still join the next cohort if you are so bitter. Ignore the thread, you were not under duress to make a comment here. Leave it for those who will find it valuable. I am still waiting for your reasons why ALX is breeding half baked developers. |
Re: ALX Africa Software Engineering Journey - From Zero To Hero! by Nobody: 9:52am On Sep 13, 2022 |
Sensivism: Stop quoting me. Ignore my post, you'll retain a lot of your sanity by ignoring me |
Re: ALX Africa Software Engineering Journey - From Zero To Hero! by Sensivism: 9:55am On Sep 13, 2022 |
GREATIGBOMAN: You should ignore me first. You commented on my thread. Keep your sanity and go elsewhere. Oh and yes, this is my last response to you. |
