Miraj22: Apply for ALX and earmark time for your front end web design. Time management and proper planning is all you need. |

longjosh: Hello. Apologies for the delayed response. I have been really busy trying to be ahead. I advise you start with C programming. But before then you may want to learn about shell navigation, Git and GitHub. For C programming, I recommend any of these two books; The C programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie or Sams Teach Yourself C in 24hours by Tony Zhang. But if you prefer Videos instead, you can look up for a course on C by Progamiz. |

Pod443300: Good to hear this. How are you coping with the projects so far? |

kaylardz: True, the concepts are not easy to understand most especially when you are new to programming. That is why I do not only stay on the materials given to us by ALX. I try to do some google search or read up books too sometimes even before going through theirs. How are you coping with your projects now? |

Miraj22: Just as Newusername suggests, your little experience in frontend web development will really help you in your software engineering journey. I advise you try the software engineering programme too. |

As at today, I have completed the video on bash scripting by amigoscode. I must say I have really learnt alot in such a short period. I also learnt from amigoscode to always try not to dive into learning to code but try to focus more on understanding the concepts first before coding. Back to ALX, there isn't much projects yet and there won't be much projects until next week. We were given assignment on GRIT. There is so much emphasis on GRIT and your ability to persevere as it gets tougher and the reason for this is obvious. Looking at the calendar and activities we have for the next 3 months, I saw there would be projects dropping back to back and it only gets harder as it goes. Well, my mind is ready for this. I came across a 10hours video on Freecodecamp; The C Programming Language with Dr. Chuck. According to freecodecamp, in the course, Dr. Charles Severance will help you learn C programming by taking you through the classic 1978 C programming book written by Ritchie and Kernighan. Dr. Charles Severance (aka Dr. Chuck) is a professor at the University of Michigan and a very popular software instructor. I started the video today and hope to learn as much as I can for the next 5days before we start getting projects again on ALX. 1 Like |
