Then. I will be blunt with you to make things easier.

Go and watch tutorials on Shell, Git, emacs and vim. These are important editors and command lines that will be required of you to do your projects. If you have time, check out the materials sent on your mail pertaining C language.

On the first week of the onboarding program, you won't do much(basic projects to inspire you and get you involved in the community) and people tend to let their guards down until the second week, then the third and then you realize... ALX SE program is HARD!

If you want to succeed in this program, always have it in your mind that the program is hard! Because the second you forget that and procrastinate a little, your grades will keep going down while your projects will keep piling, which is one of the reasons why people quit.

The pictures below are meant to preparing the new cohort starting on the 6th of this month.

The first picture contains the first week of projects you will be getting. As you can see, they're basics projects to get you familiar with the community, intranet, growth mindset and more.

The second picture contains the editors and command lines you need to know in order to do coding projects. Might look simple but if the checker fails, you might have to destroy your sandbox and start all over again. I'm not trying to discourage anyone but always have it at the back of your mind that no project is easy and try to ask your peers questions if you get stuck.

The third picture is all about shell. If you notice, I didn't do a lot of projects. Through an advice from a certain person, I decided to re-. So I'm going to start with the next cohort starting on the 6th. This is because I delayed some projects which reduced my mark. Anyways, I'm already familiar with them, so I'm looking forward to it.

Always Make Sure To Do Your Projects Early!

The fourth picture contains projects for this week. We're already on C programming languages. Lol I'm tempted to do it but it's of no use. Anyways let's have a blast guys!

Uhm... Most of the materials are links which will redirect you to a website to read or watch the material.

But the material on C language is a pdf file. So which material do you need?

My tutorials?

Let me give you an instance of what the materials are like using C.

The texts with red are links that would redirect you to the web to read or watch the materials.

I don't have any materials to share with you guys except the pdf on C. Just check on google or YouTube for materials.


For those asking for materials, please make use of Google or YouTube. I only have pdf file of C programming language. The rest are links, it's nothing special, make use of the materials online.

FOR THOSE WITHOUT LAPTOP

I chatted with one of the ALX mentor concerning the fact that I don't have a laptop and how it slowed my progress. I was advised to visit a Cyber cafe whenever I want to do my projects. And I think it's cool and convenient.

Rather than lamenting and begging for a laptop when you can't afford the fund, you can read the materials on your phone, and do the projects on a Cyber cafe.

This is great because you don't need to any software. Just use chrome and to your ALX intranet , open the sandbox and do your projects!!

Just saying since I know there are people out there who really wanna go for the program but don't have a system. And you know in the cyber cafe you pay by hour, depending on the location, so I see this more like an opportunity than a burden.

And I know they're people out there who would complain that *"why should I visit a Cyber cafe for the next 12 months?"*
Well that's left for you to decide! Just the little time I have been in the program, I have learnt a lot and associated with great people. Plus if you are resilient enough to finish to the end of the program. You will be a hot cake in the market with all those skills.

Now it's left to you! What are you going to do?

Sniper04:

Well done bro,me sef e be like that cyber cafe go pay, because electricity is not regular in my area at all

Try and negotiate for a discount cuz if u go with their regular charges, is will be very expensive.

Yeah
Just make sure to know everything about about that project before going because normally theoretical part and then the main project.

Indeed!
To be on the safer side, pay for two hours at least. Cause anytime your check fails, you would need to redo the project until you're scored.

If he becomes a regular there, I think they would be considerate enough to give him a discount.

Yes I did.

You guys should always time yourself. Messages involving projects are usually sent around 6am.
