DEV Community: Arthur Candido

Hiring Coders Semi-Finals

Arthur Candido — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 12:54:07 +0000

So, continuing the Bootcamp story that brought me to this point. The challenge started with 10,000 people on a full-stack learning path, the first 50 days were front-end and back-end development, with assessments and tests that grade each student, and the first 3,000 were able to continue in the second phase. In the second phase, we were introduced to Vtex IO, a low code platform to create online stores with more agility and flexibility, after 3 weeks the 300 students with the best grades passed to the semifinals, which was a team phase, where the team is creating a virtual wallet in a Vtex store. That was the core part of the challenge for me, as we had the chance to experience teamwork to develop something real, at this stage I had the experience of pushing to the team's Github repository and dealing with the conflicts caused by that push, dealing with the division of tasks and responsibilities, put into practice the learning in TypeScript and React that was presented in the second phase and share a goal with the faculties. At this stage we got the second place which gives us the opportunity to go to the final.

In the next post, i'll talk about the final phase.

In my last post i was trying to figure out how to fetch data from DEV.TO to my NextJS/Vercel, portfolio, but after deployed, the new posts was not been fetched, I changed the way of fetching from useEffect hook to useSWR, and this is how it's look now:

This is a test with the integration of my portfolio (that's a NextJS app and is deployed in Vercel) and DEV.TO API, I'm using DEV.TO to register my journey in a dev carreer and to show in my portfolio what i'm writing here i did a integration using axios, it works fine in development enviroment, but when in production the GET in DEV.IO API returns a 304 HTTP status that means "Not Modified" even when I post something new. So, after puting headers setting 'cache-control' with 'no-cache', i'm posting this test to see if it's fixed.

Hiring Coders

That was the name of the bootcamp I dove into as the first step in coding studies. It was a great experience, I learned a lot about many technologies like, NodeJS, GraphQL and React, and other topics like REST API, HTTP methods and more, but the main thing I learned was learning to learn, these 3 months gave me the perception of how difficult can be to learn something, but it also showed me how rewarding focus and effort on a mission can be.

Here's a brief introduction about me, i'm a 36 yo Brazilian man, married to Vanessa, son of Cida and Toninho, brother of Debis Candido and human of 4 dogs 🐶🐶🐕🐕.
In the professional area, I've worked with ecommerce as a retailer for over 15 years. This experience brought me to this moment that I need to start a new career and the tech field was too magnetic for me to avoid it, so in April of 2022 I "dive right in" (learned this one right now) a fullstack bootcamp course.
Hiring Coders is a challenge mode course, which starts with 10 thousand people and ends after 3 months with 6 teams of 10 devs each, and my team came first place (yay)! In the next post, I'll talk about the bootcamp experience and the next steps I'm planning to take.

Thanks for your attention.

So, born a dev...

I'm writing this as a kick start to a report of my journey as a "dev".
I'll be very succinct in this first post and will try to bring more often small posts in the next days.
I have never get success writing journeys, but i'm expert in starting things, so here we go.

Hope to see you soon.
