Learning to code with JavaScript and building UI with React

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 1 - Meet up with Michael (Coach) and class. Everyone is very friendly and it feels like we all already know each other very well. Started off with setting up our laptop with typical software used by mainstream developers. Got comfortable using GIT and CLI. Session 1 - Getting Set Up Session 2 - Command Line Interface Week 2   - Weekly standup and retrospective have been carried out just like in the working environment.

Installing software, using git, running your code, and even writing code are just some of the things we will be using the CLI for.

Since you are going to be using the terminal as a developer, you should get the best from your terminal. Make your coding easy  day in day out. Badassify your terminal and shell -  http://jilles.me/badassify-your-terminal-and-shell/

SSH (Secure Socket Shell) is a network protocol that allows us to connect securely to remote computers (servers). SSH keys are used to authenticate the user on the remote server after a secure connection has been established.

If you are a Windows user, then please install Ubuntu alongside Windows, as it's more developer friendly. We're going to need to get a few things set up now to save us time in future sessions.
