Week 22 to 24 - Learning with MCR Codes

My experience with @MCRcodes as a Quality Assurance Tester. This is an evening part-time coding boot camp based in central Manchester which runs for 24 weeks, from February 2018 to July 2018.

Week 22 (July 2018) - Halfway through our project and still a long way to go. Still working out how the project's core function will work. With support from lecturers, we were able to visualise how the function will work with some awesome whiteboard drawing and realised the best way to approach this is to divide the core function and figure out each section one at a time.
Week 23 - Made it, the final week of our project and we have covered our MVP which was set at the beginning of the project week. The presentation went very well, met up with the project team prior to the presentation and did preparation. I never was comfortable with a live presentation, however, the lecturers and class made me feel at ease. Also nice to see the end product from other teams.
Session 1 - Class Project (Week 4) - Presentation Software
Session 2 - Class Project (Week 4) - Monzo Reward Web App

Week 24 - Final week of coding boot camp, learnt so much and looking forward to searching for my first development job. this week lectures, focused on careers, specifically the interview process including the tech test. We had a look at Sainsbury's tech test example, and it looks like I will be spending many hours completing these tech test before the actual interview. Still not too sure what kind of development role I will be seeking since I have enjoyed every week of the course. Would love to get an opportunity to develop my React development skills with my future employer.

My experience with  @MCRcodes   as a Quality Assurance Tester.  This is an evening part-time coding boot camp based in central Manchester which runs for 24 weeks, from February 2018 to July 2018. Week 9 (April 2018) - After spending two decades using the internet, I finally have an understanding how it works now, and the communication between the server and the client. Nice to create and run a simple server using Express and I now know what API actually means now, I think. Really appreciate how amazing and powerful the npm  package manager really  is, and looking forward to installing other future packages.  We have now started our back-end programming journey. Session 1 -  The Internet, the Web, HTTP Session 2 -  Web APIs & Express Week 10 - Really enjoying creating and reading test units for server assignments. Additionally, learning s ynchronous/a synchronous programming has been a tease.   Unfortunately, I was unable to attempt few classes due to unplanned c

Week 9 - Session 1 - The Internet, the Web, HTTP

One of the most commonly used services on the internet is the world wide web (www). A primary mode of transferring data (resources) over the internet for billions. The application protocol that makes the web work is hypertext transfer protocol. blog image source As web developers, we are mainly interested in HTTP,  a protocol that web browsers and web servers use to communicate with each other over the Internet.  The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is designed to enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP works as a request-response protocol between a client and server. A web browser may be the client, and an application on a computer that hosts a website may be the server.
