The Side-Hustle Experience: My Journey of Becoming a Web Developer.

Hi, My Name Harrison. Thanks For Stopping By To Read This Amazing Tech Journey with Side-Hustle Internship. Enjoy

One of the key experiences recommended during your time as an undergraduate is doing an internship. Gaining work experience is key for boosting your employability, especially as a student. As a Student who is passionate about Learning a skill and make money with it came across side-hustle internship programme on the internet and I signed up for the Front-end Track, got selected and already two weeks in.

WHAT IS SIDE-HUSTLE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME?

The Side-Hustle Internships as an initiative has proven to be a way to allow a beginner developer explore all of these aspects during their training experience with them and hopefully grow as a complete developer, with the right portfolio, the right connections and the skills for advancement.

The journey to becoming a web developer is an exciting one but it comes with a lot of twists, difficulties and distractions. This Past weeks has been a competitive and a stressful week. About 60% of your time is invested in solving and completing the tasks assigned to you, the remaining 40% would including learning process : reading tech articles, watching tutorials, practicing what you have learnt, connecting with your Mentors and fellow interns via webinars, whatapps, meets etc.

My experience so far

The program is broken into Classes, Tasks and Quizzes.

The classes are conducted over telegram calls and Google Meet. Videos (from popular trainers on YouTube) concerning the week's content are made available on the dashboard of each intern's account, additional content are posted on telegram groups created for the training as links to videos, texts or webpages. The tasks and quizzes are based on the week's lessons and are used as a basis for grading performance.

First Week (Web Development - Front-End) Started with HTML

Learnt Html , it's Semantics and how it works on the web. HTML is an Acronym which stands for Hyper-Text Markup language which simply means how a website is structured.

Intresting right?

More Also, We were given a Task to build a tribute page. For some days i was confuse on how to start the project, i had to search the internet on how to design a tribute page, read additional articles finally wrote the code. it was'nt easy at all prior to the fact i'm a complete novice in this field. Our Mentors had to Organized classes (via Whatapps and google meets)for us to put us through on how we can go about the project. I must confess that we have amazing mentors that went extra miles to explain and teach us as if we were a 5-years old.

The Week 2 is fast winding up and to be honest, CSS looks easy but it's hard.

I have attached a link to the Week 2 CSS Task here - https://fyloweb-internship.netlify.app/ Here also is The Link to my Github Repo - https://github.com/KodeSage/FYLO

I will to keep pushing and learning in order to be Qualified and ready for Job Market. Practice they say makes perfect and nothing good comes easy, you surely need to be hardworking inorder to attain certain heights.

I personally want to thank the organizers and the hardworking trainers and all working behind the scenes for putting this together.

You are amazing people and I am very pleased to have crossed path with your distinguished organisation through this initiative, hopefully it achieves your set objectives and produces even more productive developers.

Once again, thanks for the opportunity!
