It all started by watching videos on Youtube. A few of them were about the differences between Software Engineering and Software Development, as well as what it means to be a front-end developer and a back-end developer. Web development piqued my interest too, so I also watched videos about that as well.
Then I got into looking at tutorials and reading books about JavaScript and C#. I finally started practicing with apps such as Sololearn and GrassHopper. After all of this research I knew I needed to see which type of learning style would best suit me. explored self learning as well bootcamps. I looked into a few bootcamps and after talking with Cruz Sanchez from TrueCoders. The way he explained himself about the structure of the course as well as the reviews I read about the program. I knew it was the right one for me.
Before I enrolled with TrueCoders I had to decide on which course I wanted to take. It came down to their Software Engineering and Web Development program; whether or not I wanted to do it on my own with their self paced program or go in as a full time student. I ulitimately went with the full stack software engineering program along with the flex schedule. This afforded me to work full-time as well as study during my free time.
I really enjoyed the process of becoming a Software Engineer. It was challeging at times but very rewarding overall. I must say I enjoy creating websites, working with applications and solving by way of debugging. Take a glance at some of my work throughout my time with TrueCoders.
- Open Weather Map API Here I created a weather forecast app using an Open Weather Map API. It will give you the current weather for the city that you specify.
- KayneRest Project This project uses randomly generated quotes from Kanye West and Ron Swanson by way of KanyeWest API and The RonSwanson API. When you run this application it will appear as if the two are having a conversation.
- Best Buy Project This project connects using a BestBuy API that lists products sold by Best Buy. The console connects to the API so you can essentially view all of the products. I can also create, update, read, and delete products from the list.
- TacoParser This project goes through a list of Taco Bell locations and essentially find the two that are farthest away from the other by mileage.
I became certified through their comprehensive training program. Which involved over 500 hours of lecture and project based training. Using varies programming languages and technical skills like C#, .Net, MySQL, Git, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
