Adaption: A process of change
According Merriam Webster, Adaptation is an act or process of adjustment of pattern of behavior, custom, or belief.
Two weeks at Andela bootcamp introduced me to both soft and technical skills. The challenges encountered in those two weeks required of me determination and efforts to plow through.
Series of JavaScript programming challenges were given which must as well be tested using jasmine or mocha JavaScript framework. Aside those, a full stack web app called Postit is expected of every bootcamper to develop and be completed at a particular time frame. Considering my current knowledge level of JavaScript language, plus the time frame for project completion, this was a huge challenge.
Therefore, to overcome this challenge, I had to device new approaches by staying awake at night to study necessary materials(like books based on JavaScript, HTML, CSS, YouTube videos as well as blog posts), and I did the actual coding in the day. Not Only that, I which choose a quiet place to induce full concentration.
More importantly, when I stumbled on blockers, I have learnt to s or ask for clarification from my Boot camp Facilitation Assistant, fellow campers or google my way out. Power supply sometimes pose a challenge, I had to go places where there is power to work. These and lot more I had tackled in order to survive boot camp.
