My HNG Internship 8 Goals

Coming across the HNG internship 8 post on social media, I was so eager and passionate to get into the internship because of the prestige and name it has made for itself and everyone that has been involved with it. I'm Kingsley Ugwudinso, a computer enthusiast and a lover of great things.

I have been programming for about 5 years, although mainly focused on android mobile development, I have always wanted to understand the rudiment of backend software development and the Go programming language. I believe that this internship will be a very great opportunity and provide a solid platform for me to transition into backend software development with Golang, finally actualizing my dreams.

I would love by the end of the 8 weeks, I would have been able to set up a go server, write and deploy clean, testable Go apis ready to be consumed by any frontend be it web, mobile or desktop. Having heard about the beauty of the well crafted programming language and understanding that this internship is centered around it for the backend track, being fluent in Go will be a great feat I would love to achieve by the end of the 8 weeks.

I would love to use this opportunity to thank the Zuri Internship for all their efforts in this internship program and the HNG team, kudos to you.
I believe as a backend software engineer having basic knowledge of the app's user interface and app flow which is basically its user experience would be helping when creating apis and structuring your response data. A great knowledge of a version control system like git is also important, html and the basics of your backend language. A beginner can pickup figma (a UI/UX prototyping tool), git, html, and Golang by clicking on the associated links.

Looking forward to the next 8 weeks of my life and once again wants to appreciate everyone that made this possible. Thank you for this great opportunity.
