Technical Skills
The second month Begin on a very high note, we started out with UI/UX going through the process of design thinking :Define, empathize, ideate prototyping and putting the users in front. It was a very interesting class because I learnt the use of Figma Software . Learning is not complete if you cannot use what you have learnt. Working with my team we presented an autotrack app starting with the wireframe, low fidelity and High Fidelity design .
Furthermore, I got my hands hooked on various UX design I was able to come up with a side project (travel agency) just to improve on my learning
That's not all we begin by learning what’s JavaScript is and how it brought functionality to the web application, naming, assigning of variables, Conditional Statement, logical operation, data types and a lot more. Learning this programming language can be challenging because i tried it and opted out, But thank God it was easy this time because i had a JavaScript instructor who broke it down in it simplest form.
I did alot of project with it. creating an inventory form, bank app using the conditional statement and function
Here are some of the code snippet
Presentation is an art for me and at every phase there are new things to learn I was opportune to have presented twice In the second month
There are some benefits you gained through presentation take for example getting a nice and suitable slides and how to present your work in a slide, not too wordy but simple and perfect that helps you to communicate your idea.
Now i find it very interesting to share my knowledge and was able to explain strings in JavaScript
Peer review sessions and coding partner sessions have been very helpful getting helped by your colleagues and also sharing your knowledge through what you have learnt. I will like to recognize my team members Innodevs and Mr. Yusuf Ajadi my coding partner for always ensuring its fun and interesting
Professional Development Classes
This classes were created to help us meet with industry standards and for us not to end up being a low ranked software developer .Through this classes we were taught on Human Centered Design Strategies, Successfully Applying Design Thinking process distinguishes your product from the rest . listed are some design thinking phases Empathize, Define, Ideate, Test and Implement.
Another interesting topic that was discuss was Decision Making Traps. How to avoid making the wrong decisions because the implication might be for long. I will like to appreciate Mr Aderoju Shamsudeen the coordinator for taken us on all these classes
Conclusion
Learning is an adventure and life is an unending adventure. while navigating through life always make conscious effort to learn new things and in order to gain mastery practise what you have learnt.
