When corona virus unexpectedly invaded our world, lockdown became the order of the day. Businesses, schools even our religious and social lives were all put on a halt; but there came software applications to the rescue - we saw businesses embracing the new normal by “ working from home” with applications such as Zoom, Microsoft team and so on , helping them cut their losses; school using different e-learning applications to still keep our wards abreast ; we tried to keep in touch with our friends, family and the rest of the world with Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland and so on.

In fact we can’t imagine what the world would have been without software applications , behind those applications are some ‘special’ people that decided some years back to become software developers and today, they are saving the world for us. There is no better time to be a software developer than now as there is still much to be done.

Our Graduand, Uthman Finds a Solution to Get Rid of Potholes on our Roads

Potholes and damaged roads are major contributors to traffic congestion and they do lots of damage to vehicles plying them, the result is a longer commuting time than required and frequent visits to the mechanic workshops (this obviously affects the personal economies of car owners) .

Finding a solution to ease these pain points for the populace was Uthman goal when he decided to develop Road Report Application where commuters can report bad roads around them; allowing other road users to be pre-informed and make contingency plans before journeying on the respective roads. The application can also help relevant authorities to keep track of their maintenance duties.

Uthman was able to develop the application with the technologies he learnt at the boot camp such as HTML, CSS , bootstrap, Javascript/ jquery , MySQL database, AJAX and PHP; and on the last day he presented his first version (Minimum Viable Product) which was ready to go live.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkuArEVWV_A

With Road Report Application, it is now ‘ one for all, all for one ‘, because everybody can now do their part in getting rid of the ugly road situation and nobody is actually left behind… Don’t complain, just report it!

An excerpt of the interview with one of the ex-participants featured above:

Our alumnus, Kenneth Onaiwu speaks on life during and after the boot camp

“…I’ve hosted my first application which helps more that fifteen thousand applicants and a university administrative body manage their screening process”- Kenneth

Moat Academy: Why did you choose Moat Academy for Developers?
Kenneth: At first, I chose Moat Academy because the training syllabus is rich, and the price tag is quite affordable. From my observation, I realized that the training environment is satisfying, and the tutors are widely experienced in their various fields and their training skills are awesome.

Moat Academy: How has things changed for you since gaining the software development skills?
Kenneth: Software development is a very attractive course because the world is gradually upgrading from the traditional ways of life into an automated process. From my experience so far, I realized that any software application built to tackle and solve a problem in our society is 100% welcome and appreciated by the society. After gaining my software development skills with the help of Moat Academy, I realized that commitment is a very serious task that must be considered to enable us accomplish a particular project, time management and self discipline is a big project on its own; how I was able to accomplish and launch my first application was by the grace of God, but I have taken a decision to always be a manager of myself and my activities.

Implementation is not as easy as it was during my training, though my mindset then was that my tutors were pushing us so hard within a short period of time, but being in the field with no tutor to help me manage my time and project is very demanding and confusing, I’ve been very careful.

Moat Academy: What was your biggest fear before coming to Moat Academy and what do you feel about it now?
Kenneth: My biggest fear was to work on an application on my own and to enable it to be accessed worldwide, thanks to Moat Academy’s commitment in my dream. Today, I’ve hosted my first application which helps more that fifteen thousand applicants and a university administrative body manage their screening process. The appreciation/recommendation after using the application is beautiful and encouraging.

Moat Academy: How will you describe your experience at Moat Academy?
Kenneth: Studying with more than 10 intelligent people in my cohort is not an easy task, most especially when you are not getting a particular line of code and others are done with it. But these challenges are what actually brought us closer and stronger together. Thanks to the tutors who always gave listening ears; they always guide and encourage me; I can’t stop thanking them.

The unstoppable weekend projects really gave me a lot of sleepless nights - during my training, I was in a different world, my relationship with friends was cut down to the minimum, most of my friends thought I was purposely avoiding them, they couldn’t understand that I was in the war front of software development. All these experiences are not wasted, and they are actually the fuel to my dream.

Moat Academy: What have been able to achieve with the training?
Kenneth: I’ve achieved so much from the training; Self-confidence, project management, debugging skills, project hosting, development/implementation of complicated application from scratch.

Moat Academy: What advice do you have for those coming into Moat Academy?
Kenneth: Like what a wise man will always say; you have to unlearn to learn. Don’t compete with your colleagues in class, compete with your doubts/fears. Don’t keep malice in a learning environment, always carry an open heart. Malice and anger can only discourage you and you might end up forgetting your initial purpose of learning. What brought you to Moat Academy is nothing compare to what you can achieve after your course.

Moat Academy: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Kenneth: I see myself developing and implementing an application that we need in our nation.

Our Graduand, Dika Provides a Platform for Skilled University Students

When Unilancer, a platform developed by Dika Emmanuel Ututu is made public, skilled university students will have a cause to smile to the bank as their skills will generate wealth for them even while they are still on campus.

The product sprung up from his personal experience while he was also a student; he said, “the requirements from most freelancing platforms are difficult for students to meet”. Having a platform dedicated just for skilled students to ply their trade will go a long way so he longed towards providing a solution.

Dika’s dream of developing the freelancing platform became a reality during our just concluded bootcamp when he developed it from scratch to completion (using HTML5, CSS3 with some bootstrap classes to design its responsive User Interface, Javascript as client-side programming language, modelling the database with MySQL workbench and using PHP OOP, MySQL along with other technologies for the server side) within the boot camp time frame. He called it, Unilancer.

If you are thinking of having an accelerated career path in the software development industry, think Moat Academy!

Moat Academy( www.moatacademy.com ): A place where you are empowered to turn your ideas into software products

You have this great idea, and seeing it come to fruition seems like an herculean task!

Funny enough, the gap between what you have in your imagination (or written somewhere) and seeing it online where it is accessible to others, meeting needs is just 11 weeks!

Yes, 11 weeks spent at the Moat Academy coding boot camp can get you up to the proficiency level in software development, needed to develop your idea into an application.

Have you ever wondered how those popular applications were built by some individuals such as Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg? It’s simply because the founders possessed the knowledge/intellectual capital - this is the capital you need in this digital age to ignite your idea (even before investing any other capital). At Moat Academy, we equip our participants with this, of which many have partaken and today, are armed with the capability to develop applications; like Wisdom( an Alumnus), founder of www.fatibobosms.com.ng.

Toluwalakin Sanwoolu, one of our participants in our just concluded boot camp developed this web application, EventPS from scratch to completion during the boot camp as his final bootcamp project.

Event PS is a one-stop shop for event planners, where they can search for listed venues by venue owners and listed vendors (professionals such as DJ, photographer etc who are needed for a successful event). Also, event lovers can search for events of their interest and make ticket purchases.

Please watch his presentation of the application on the last day of the bootcamp, Friday, December 21, 2018 where he spoke on the major features and how he achieved them:

Friday, 21 December 2018 was the last day of our Cohort 9 at Moat Academy coding boot camp which started 11 weeks ago. Our participants learnt so much from front end to back end web application development technologies; they were given the liberty to build any web application of their choice as their final boot camp project in demonstrating their learning.

Among them, was a calm and determined young man, Toluwalakin Sanwoolu who once described himself as “someone filled with strong passion for software development”, he chose to develop an Event Management platform because of his interest to solve the problem being faced by some of his close friends who are event planners: which is the difficulty in getting suitable venues and event professionals (vendors) such as photographers, makeup artists and so on. He named the project which has now become his first developed full-fledged web application, Event PS.

Event PS is a one-stop shop for event planners, where they can search for listed venues by venue owners and listed vendors (professionals such as DJ, photographer etc who are needed for a successful event). Also, event lovers can search for events of their interest and make ticket purchases.

Truly, it is a loaded platform with the frontend and backend plus everything in between developed from scratch to completion within the boot camp timeframe; he used technologies such as HTML5, CSS (with Flexbox, media query, bootstrap classes etc) and javascript/ Jquery for the front end, he modelled his database using MySQL workbench, the database modelling tool introduced to them during the bootcamp, Jquery/AJAX and MySQL database with PHP object-oriented programming (OOP) as his server-side programming language.

Please visit the project on http://moatcohorts.com.ng/eventps/.

The project will be launched (i.e commercially available) with a different brand name on a new domain in some few weeks’ time. Please, feel free to take a tour of the platform by signing up as vendors or venue owner or event planner.

The Industry is once again blessed with another brilliant software developer, ready to contribute his quota to the advancement of the trade in Nigeria. And to us at Moat Academy, we have done what we are set out to do: raising remarkable software developers and we are keenly watching to see Tolu have an accelerated career path in the industry just like some his predecessors from Moat Academy.

@Ebi4life, A Software developer develops software, and software can be categorized based on different classifications, one of which is the device or platform on which they run so we can broadly have web, mobile or desktop applications and so on.
A web developer is a software developer that develops mainly web applications.
At Moat Academy, though we chose to focus on web application development, we teach every concept (that is why you see module like software engineering in our curriculum) that we will make you a good software developer and more importantly how to reason (critical thinking) like one so our alumni usually find it easy to pick any new languages or frameworks after their experience with us.
