I have been silently following your thread since I got accepted into this program since 3 days ago. Thanks for what you. You really have answered most of the questions I have about the alx program and how it's structured.

I'll be onboarding on the 19th of September. And I really would like to network with someone like you.

Hello Dremkay
There's actually a WhatsApp group for September Cohort, join the group and from there, we can connect.

Pls, can you send the WhatsApp link?

Here is one.

SWEAbim:
Congratulations on being ALX accepted.

A group is being put together for preparation for the new cohorts of ALX SE, if you're interested join with this link:

I broke the link so I can paste it here. So copy it & paste somewhere else then close the gaps inbetween to make the link click-through.

Hello Tracy pls do you have material to share class is starting 19th Sept

Yeah

Mehn... A lot has happened!! Like a lot

First, I have gotten a laptop! Yeah, a good laptop! And it was thanks to the August cohort members who decided to contribute and get me one.

Secondly, I completed the Alx Virtual Assistant Program last Sunday, mehn... It has been a struggle using my phone to multi-task, now I can practice more with my laptop.

This is my fourth month in Alx program as a software engineer, many things has happened during this period, I made great friends, broaden my knowledge on C even though it was a struggle.

I really struggled with C because I had to finish watching Tutorials before practicing with Sololearn. So happy to get a laptop.

There were days I questioned myself on the knowledge I have accumulated and if the period time for time was worth it because I felt I haven't learnt much, but I didn't allow it discourage me.

I came across a video that had the answers to most of my questions. Especially about my journey as a software engineer, I will be writing down the things I have learnt from the video and my friends who are experienced developers. They include the following:

PS: these are tips for software engineers

- Don't try to learn everything! -
- Build projects while learning
- Solve problems with your skills

Not learning Java, C++, python, C#, PHP because you saw them as a requirement for a job, rather get good at a programming, build projects with it, solve problems with that language, which will showcase that you are that good at it.

Using myself as an example, I intend to specialize as a backend engineer using python and C++. Python is a high level language which will be slow with operating systems, this is where C++, a low level language comes in.

I hope you don't find this boring lol

I will be taking the 100 days challenge for C language to be accountable to myself, this means I will be studying C language from start. So far I have installed Ubuntu on the Virtual box.

I also plan to host a google meet on C for the August cohort but it depends on them, it has been a hectic week. I wish I could take a leave for two days, away from alx and coding, just anime and sleep.

What if you go Fullstack?

Will it be fine by you?

Hello Tracy, I also struggled with C. I'll like to join the 100 days of C challenge. Is there a WhatsApp for those that want to join the challenge.

elmas:

Yeah
It is actually full stack but I wanna be more on the backend side.

I intend it on Twitter and LinkedIn

Okay Tracy, thanks for your response.

My application has been approved too. Waiting to start on 19th. Any first class information that can be of help?

Pls this 70hours a week, is it timed or selfpaced

it's not timed but will be needing about 10hrs daily to succeed in the program. It could be more or less depending on the individuals ability to assimilate.

Please Is there any ALX programmer around Ojodu_berger, Alagbole or Akute please can we form a meeting group pls

Please incase you are an ALX SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROGRAM student in Cohort 9 please or previous please and you stay in Ojodu_berger, Alagbole or Akute in Lagos pls I beg you hit me up 09035205420 let's start a physical meeting group. That's one way we can get through this pls I beg you

I joined Alx also. Starting on the 19th. I hope to succeed with this.

We're done with the C shell project and will be going for a one week break before starting Python.

This means we're through with the first sprint and will be start the second sprint when we start python.

I'm already reading python, can't allow same experience that I have on C to happen on python.

Following

We're on break for this week, so I will be using it to prepare for python which will be starting next week

With my knowledge on C, python ought to be simpler but not when ALX is involved.

We used gcc to compile C code while we will be using pystyle to compile python. I'm still in python as an interpreted language after which I will be reading on functions. I also intend to write with code samples for accountability.

I have a lot of resources but will be using LinkedIn learning and Python Modular Pdf to study.

Anonymous6o6:


Uhm... Most of the materials are links which will redirect you to a website to read or watch the material.

But the material on C language is a pdf file. So which material do you need?

pls can I get the materials for the C language.

Next time when you're using gitbash.
Ssh your sandbox into the gitbash.
That would give you access to your sandbox whilst you're in the gitbash terminal and you can clone your repository there and work on your project.
Well it's nice seeing your perseverance Sha.
I'm in cohort 6, we started since March 14.
We're like 20k+ when we started, but currently we're 2k+ or so.

So Goodluck

I started with u guys but I had to drop out, reason cus my system wasn't good and secondly I was new to all those nonsense and jargons

But now I have re-registered and we will be starting this month, I have gotten myself used to the vim, emacs, shell, and git. But I am still having some little problems sha


I hope I can reach u and ask some questions from u.

Hello Tracy, pycodestyle is similar to Betty. Its not used to compile python code. Its just used to check for pep8 style guide - which helps programmers write readable code.

My suggestion You can ignore emacs, vim and git.
Reason They are tools you will use everyday, so you will learn them naturally because of everyday usage.

About shell You can Google "50 commonly used Linux command", then read about them individually (you can use your Ubuntu by typing "man command_name" eg, "man mv" , this gives you the whole info you need about mv = move command.
Doing this will make life easier for you, then what you will be left with is shell init and few other topics.

Lastly Give C programming all the time you can. This won't make you to be ahead of alx, no...they will always be ahead of us, but it will make you not to struggle. When reading, if you can read details please do, because alx will ask you things you least expected.

I wish you Goodluck.
