My Most Recent Challenging Learning Experience

It has been a few years now after school with all the stress and challenges of studying and learning new materials, prepping for examination and working on projects. It has been quite a while now since i faced any new challenging learning experiences, then comes the Andela Bootcamp cycle 26.

Andela is a global Software engineering organization that extends engineering teams with world-class software developers. One of the main purpose of Andela is helping talented developers from African continent become technical leaders with skills that will help them become top notch technology leaders.

One of the ways they do this is through their boot-camp series which I am opportune to be among the Cycle 26 candidates.

My most recent challenging experience started during the pre boot-camp week when i was provided with resources to learn tools like NodeJs (javascript runtime), Git (a version control system for software management and team collaboration), pivotal tracker ( project management tool), Trello, language like Javacript (following ES2015 standard) including frameworks for building or designing front end like Materialize css and Bootstrap 4. Moreover, i was also giving a project to work on (a More Recipe App) which i am to finish the template for within the same time frame.

All these were challenging to me because i have never used or worked on any of the aforementioned tools and language, including the resources that i am to study, are verse and i am to complete them in a short period of time (less than a week). Though challenging, these new experience is really exciting because of my passion for technology and of learning new things about them.

What really kept me going with these challenges are determination and passion, also my bootcamp learning facilitator is also there to help out if there is any blocker or difficulty and to give feedback which help point me to the right direction.

Even though these learning experience is/was challenging, i liked it! Why? Because it helped me learn new things that will help refine me into a world class developer and technology leader and i don’t plan on letting the challenges be a stump to my learning anytime soon.

That’s it on my most recent challenging learning experience.
