This blog post as well as many others that will follow will serve as a compilation of the steps I am in the process of taking in order to :
- Get a job
- Become a backend web engineer
- Become a better Computer science professional.
Today Jan. 31st is my first entry.
My daily coding tasks are broadly divided into 4 :
- Exercism questions – Purpose: This will help me prepare for coding interviews.
- Personal Project – Purpose: The will help me build my portfolio and grow my backend skills. I am working on a todo app and will post the link soon. I intend using C#/.net to build this. I will make this an API which I shall consume with a Javascript frontend framework (I haven’t decided which) .
- Volunteering – Purpose : This is my way of contributing to my community and staying in touch with a field I have an interest in. I am using WordPress for a biotech website and Google site for a community chaplaincy site.
- Collaborate with others – Purpose: Since I am currently working as an IT support specialist, its important I stay in touch with other developers and the most efficient way to do that is to work on projects. I am working on a site with a friend using microservices.
What did I work on today?
- Exercism : I went through comments from a mentor I was paired with on exercism on my approach to solving a pangram question. I still need to go back and study my solution.
- Personal project: I started writing my software requirements. This is an ordinary todo list but I’m motivated by a lot of frustration from todo lists that don’t fit my need.
- Volunteering: Google site : My friend and I researched other chaplaincy sites and found one we can use as inspiration. WordPress Site : I updated the blogs but still have about 60 blog posts to move from the old site to the new one.
- Collaborate with others : I didn’t do anything as regards this today but tomorrow will do.
See you tomorrow.
