Lambda School and Next


8/13/18

    Its been about 3 weeks now since I've last posted, and so far things have been piling up for me to do to become ready for truly what is my goal in sight. My brother has passed, and now it is time for me to continue on his legacy; linkedin or even at a different company!. For now the most important part I need to take care of is getting where I need to go in order to finish what I started about a year ago.

  So far in Lambda School of the necessary skills that I have gained from the program is utilizing my fast learning abilities and apply it to learn new technologies and code base's. Lambda School has been nothing but a great experience, getting my feet wet with under the hood computer science theory and professional web development  practices. They've taught me to break down complex problems and solve them piece by piece in order to construct a well made, professional, and on-time product. Along with special Javascript tooling such as ES6+, redux factoring and json implementation for server blueprinting.

  Obviously the output of the Lambda School is far more of what I expected it to be, compared to a 4 year institution, they've taught that the value of learning isn't just present within the classroom, it's also present while you're on the job as well. Working in the tech field can be very demanding when it comes to the having the latest and greatest tech into your product, which means you would have to play the game of 'stay updated', and constantly learn these new tools that companies invested into their product.

  As of now I will be working along side with the PM's of Lambda Next, as they will provide me the necessary tools to be company ready as a developer and also as a professional. I know that this is my goal to be able to continue my brothers footsteps as he is beloved in linkedin. As part of the requirements, I must provide a blog post each weekday of Lambda Next to provide my PM's and audience of what is to come for me next. I will post regularly as of today, and there will be week by week projects fo what I'm supposed to accomplish by the time I have job. Since I have already completed the project of having a personal portfolio, I must contribute towards an open source project of Lambda Labs.

The Grind is real

    Hello,         So far its been day 3 of the program, and right now things are just going a little bit slower than expected. Luckily this program is 6 months long with the content we are learning. My partner and I have been following along with the curriculum and so far my partner has been pretty slow with the work. He had a difficult time understanding the content, and with the experience that I have acquired from programming in java and also swift, javascript just kind of flowed naturally for me, especially working with object oriented and also class structured syntax. The environment I have been in was not the best at all either. So far I have been crashing on my friends couch for the past couple of days, on the lookout for a place to rent for the next 6 months. So far I have been learning a lot and have been working on my javascript 4 to 6 hours each day. Its only day 3 for now and the objective for right now is to keep up with the content as much as  I can.     Right n

progress progress progress

Oct 9th, 2017    With so much that is going on, I notice a lot of things since the start of the program. My skills as a programmer are improving everyday, and its remarkable how much I have improved within just 3 months. The best part is, we're not even finished yet. By the time I write this post we would've reached the react native course which is close to being done with the full-stack javascript section of the school, afterwards we have our introduction to C/C++ programming which is majority of the time employers want. Reasons as to why they would want this so much is because of the fact that you have a good/basic understanding of what goes on under the hood.   So theres a couple of things that I noticed right when I first started the program, first thing was my ability now to tackle coding challenge problems, at the start being able to start a coding challenge problem was difficult for me, but after repetitive reps and constant thinking; my skills for solving these chall

The top of the mountain

Oct 18th, 2017      Here we are, top of the mountain final stretch. We just got done with our devops, despite the fact of me not liking devops at all, we have finally reached the top of hill and about to embark our journey way done. So one of the things we are required to do next is called a personal project, the project doesn't have to have everything that we have learned up to the point, but we are required to make it a fullstack project. There's a list of projects thats flowing through my head by one of the top projects that I have always wanted to make, that includes making a project using the ibm watson api or something with the marvel api. Whatever it is that I'm going to make, I'm going to try to make the accomplishment of making 5 personal projects.   It seemed as if there was a lot going on with the instructors and the relationship of cs2. My cohort can be very intimidating as most of us are pretty skilled at this. So I"m going to have to do my best thes
