Talk <code/> To Me 😂 , scan the code or use the web😎

Hello, it's a graduation !!!! after working up to six weeks, day (03.december.2021) come and we graduate. I would say there is nothing better like achieving goals and touching your dreams , the whole story about task force is that it elevates you from one level to another both technical and soft skills, and surely we are proud of whom we've became.

Firstly, I would like to thank @codeofafrica and @awesomity for this great opportunity that they have offered to us, It was really great experience to work with professionals like them.

As it was last week of task force 4.0 bootcamp, day come we had to present to team @codeofafrica and team @awesomity, what we have been working on as the end result. Surely we have delivered a nice and cool application✨ from which we are proud of, and it is yet to come out and serve you well🎇.

Lastly, I would say coding it is a lighting journey from which not only change your life, but also you get to change other people's daily lifestyle. I believe that the world need a lot from us. Developers who are still in the journey to reach their dreams, I would say let's keep moving forward the best is about to come at the right time. Nevertheless, It was great guys being with me from first week to this last week I can't thank you enough peace out✌.

Week V Task Force 4.0

Code is Art

Hello , @placideh here again !! I hope this journal finds you well🤩. As this blockquote above
states: "coding is art "🤓 yes sure, programming it is all about building ideas from scratch and turns it into the reality and that's why programmers mostly are called problem solver , basically they look into world as it needs another way round of operating and provide a good solution to some problems with just using computing tools.

As week V goes by I was building some cool application and that's is where I have come to realize that all of this application that developers are building it is an art where by we are turning ideas from mind and make them reality just by using the computing tools and most specifically we are doing this for people. This is what I mean whenever computer specialists are developing an application they are doing this, thinking of the end users of that system or app. For us I have come to experience that this art of code has to be something meaning that people will be able to use as a great way of easing their daily lifestyle.

The take away from this, is that the people needs more problem solvers so that we can make our world a better place , And that's what brought me into technology, it is a field that at least you could build something great and it impacts not only people from your location however around the world. This brings a good feelings that you may reach to almost everyone on the planet by simply using this technology that our great programmers have made.

Thank you and I hope to see you again in week VI and also showing you great app that we have developed.

Week IV Task Force 4.0

Hands on Keyboard 🤩

Hi, I hope your week was totally great if not I am really sorry that's how life is !! have you ever wondered how programmer or developers lifestyle looks like in Task Force 🤔. Here is, basically all nerds are supposed to work on different feature and once it is done they merge together so as to deliver a production ready software. This week I have experienced more, whereby I have worked on an endpoints from where I was using new stack(NestJS) which was really incredible and fantastic language but I can not say that the flow was that easy there are some road blocks and the great thing is that, it is also part of the journey, well saying on new stack we have to come with a good project structure of that new stack and surely we came to build it 😎. As you can see I have said "We" that means I was not alone in that, we have a good team as well great advisor who were there supporting us which pretty much reflect an image of task-force developer lifestyle @awesomity and @codeofafrica.

With that being said, I have come to realize that coding it is a career where you get to learn new things and from that, it is where great programmers are made because they are always open to new technology and they are willing to learn and apply that particular skills acquired. And of course that's wraps up the lifestyle of task-force developer .

Thank you let's meet again on week V !!🤑

Week III Task Force 4.0

Code Can't Lie 🤣

Hello again, now I could say that I am already a Task Force🦾 , this week was cool and super I have experienced working as a team and the merits from it. Basically this is the week that the team(Task-Force) really become one element, by this we started working together brainstorming to come up with a great MVP(Minimum Viable Product), I have also liked the way we started sharing our own personal life experience which was also a great takeaway like Empathy.

I have loved the Soft skills that I have been introduced to, ain't going to lie it was really a valuable sessions. As Backend Developers we also have to work and collaborate on Technical skills that's where the team working , cooperation and creativity comes to play, This week we have worked on ERD Entity relationship diagram mainly we've designed possible Entities to be used in our project not only that we have created their cardinalities as well as creating their SQL queries . throughout SQL I have come to see a json datatype in MySql🤔 That's made me realize that This Field is all about learning journey, The more you learn the more you tend to find you know less but, in anyways it is great and super.

I can't wait to see you the next Week !!! ✌.

Knowledge is power.

Hello again, week 2 covered 😉!! actually this week was really super cool I started rocking with working on amazing skills and best practices as a backend developer😎, you might wonder what was that ? Tech industry is a vast of technologies that are awesome to explore. With that being said I have enjoyed working on:

Git work Flow

Creating Features

Trust me I've got to know the power of Git

GitLab

I have also been exposed on working on GitLab , where I have started using CI/CD
which was one of the skills that I have always wanted to know and work on, plus working
on Pipelines was also another leveling skill. Thanks to @awesomity 's CTO👌.

Lastly I've enjoyed an amazing presentation from my Task-Force 4.0 colleagues, and a great session with @codeofafrica's Co-Founder that was on Values ,truly was super✨.

Week 1 In Task Force 4.0 #Awesomity Lab & #Code of Africa

Placideh — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 04:44:58 +0000

Hands on Keyboard

Huh!! Everything Started Monday Morning where we had a warm welcoming from #awesomity lab and #Code of Africa , it was really amazing and interesting being part of Like Minded people; getting to meet all your Task-Force Team. Having that Team we started working on values that made Team Being Strong and we found that it is Working Together, with that we started a nice physical exercise, where we had to move an Egg from ground without touching It and place it to another End But on top head of bottle, trust Me that is where you found that creativity and Teaming up plays a big role. Luckily We manage to move that egg from ground side to bottle side, however placing on top head of bottle that one we failed 5 times !!! so sad right !. we have also worked on 16personalities from where we tend to look over common behavior that defines us and also getting a chance to know famous people that you share the same personality like for myself I have found Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Morgan Freeman , Lady Gaga ,Michael Scofield(Prison Break).
That's laps up Day 1 @awesomity and @codeofafrica .

Day 2 : Code Wars Challenge and Miro Exposure
In the morning We had this mind fleshing and mind boosting where we have given a task to work on code wars
challenge which was really great to think in way out of the box .
First Code challenge question was: Explosive Sum link
Second Code challenge : Roman Numerals Helper link
Just try it yourself!!
After Lunch we come up with Learning how to effectively collaborate as a team with using Miro
miro which is infinitely zoomable canvas and web whiteboard enables you to work the way you want to. Unleash your creativity, plan projects from all angles, and create cool stuff. from here as a team we worked on Ten Common thing that we share.

Day 3: Introducing on Project To be worked on During Task Force 4.0 (6 weeks)
From Here it is where we have been told on a project we have to develop over the full time
6 weeks. Under Agile Software Development we came up with writing up:

Use Case Diagram
Sequence Diagram
User Stories in Backlogs

Day 4: Stereotypes and Intercultural Communication
On this day we had a good discussion with #codeofafrica MANAGING DIRECTOR
where we have discussed different country culture mainly Rwanda and Germany.

Day 5: Project Presentation On Board with Awesomity and CodeOfAfrica Team
On this day we had to present about the project structure how it will be looking like and coming up with what will be needed so that the project may proceed. A lot goes into it and finally comes up to great ideas from #Awesomity and #codeOfAfrica as an add Up to our Project.

Wow!!that's laps up The amazing workload we had during my first week @awesomity and @codeofafrica Task Force 4.0 .
