Cc DonPikko Guente02 Benfluleck

according to w3schools
var str = " Hello World! ";
alert(str.trim()); // Hello World!
removes white spaces before and after

NOW

how do u remove white spaces in between strings. see below

var str = " H e l l o World! ";
alert(str.trim()); // H e l l o World!

regex didnt treat d issue either

str.replace(/[“ “]/g, “”);

Although this removes all spaces in the string. Including the one between “Hello” and “World”.

Lol, best friends? That's too high. Friends for now. smiley

Shim, any word from the Talent dev team yet about your technical assessment?

Software engineering would easily frustrate you. It's low key a rabbit hole something. You'd be lost and would experience bouts of insanity but for all its worth don't stop.
Bootcamp requires you have a little above knowledge of the basics - the reasons why they provided learning resources. And since you'd be tinkering with javascript(for the most part) throughout the Bootcamp, grab some growth mindset and give it a die-there attitude.
I've been bitten once and 2x twice shy so I'm staging a comeback - matter fact an EPIC one.

Another batch has just been sent out, have you gotten yours now?

Any tips on effectively acing the bootcamp from you?

Ask questions .... Especially when you think you know what you are doing.

Nice.

Don't just study, make sure you actually build something with everything you learn. Boot camp is no joke at all


Alright, man.

Thanks. smiley

When is it?

Starting May 21st.

I also got the bootcamp invite.

The study material sent over contains pretty much what benfluleck recommended above. It's full-on studying for me right now.

I'm in cycle 31, our bootcamp is starting on monday

Oh. Alright.

About the bootcamp, is it true that you folks were given tasks to complete beforehand?

benfluleck:


I dunno about this article, we all use Mac Book Pros as it just looks more professional I am yet to meet someone in the organisation that has had this problem (maybe this was a problem with the older versions). If your laptop develops a fault we have an IT department that can fix it and give you a replacement, if it is going to take longer. Your laptop is insured from the start so any damage is by Andela.

Oh, nice to hear.

Since we are on the issue of Laptops already here, a few (I promise) more Qs:


1. While at EPIC Tower on Thursday, I noticed, on the 3rd floor where (I guess) most fellows were situated, that some had external monitors. Monitors mounted in such a way that they could be rotated along the Y-axis (on an X-Y plane).

Can just about any fellow ask for that setup, or does it come as one progresses up the "ladder"?

2. Almost every fellow I caught a glimpse of was living the "dongle life" that accompanies the new MBP thanks to it's absurd lack of legacy ports. Andela provides that dongle, yes?

3. Finally, that locker that in front that houses biscuits, Minimie chin chin and Hollandia milk ... anyone (any fellow, that is) can go there and take, ba? Abi is there a limited daily quota?

Thanks.

@benfluleck, Please the Macbook Pros given to new fellows, are they the ones with Apple's new problematic Butterfly keyboards? (see this article).

If yes, can one request for a different machine, you know like a Lenovo Thinkpad?

If no, do Andelans get replacements/ if something goes wrong with the MBP within the warranty period?

Thanks.

Another thing:

Almost everybody I met today did the Scooby Doo App.

stevedoyin:
Anybody did the interview today?

Had mine today...

I tell you, I sincerely don't know what to expect at this point?

The interviewers where wonderful and showed great insight and knowledge
especially when they made me analyse my code. I liked the from
them. I pray I am called up for bootcamp challenge. undecided

Had mine today as well by 12:00pm-ish (I originally scheduled for 11:20am).

It was just like a normal conversion. After like 15 - 20 mins of "gisting", they asked few questions about the App, and that was it.

I, too, donot know what to expect.

Hopeful, though.

stevedoyin:

Best approach u have illustrated here, but i approached mine functionally smiley

I didn't go full OOP though, solution is still partly functional. OOP still dey confuse me.

stevedoyin:

used an array of objects and pushed in new entries entered thru the form, simple.

Yeah, similar stuff too! I used an array to host my list but instead of pushing new objects to the array, I added them the "hashmap" kind of way, so that I could keep track of each 's array index for ease of retrieval.

stevedoyin:

We can share codepen links after interview, so i can see the way u used class on this. I can also give you mine.
it's all learning process... cheesy

Sure thing! I'll to codepen after the interview.

Blessings!
Teletexter: 12:07am On Apr 24, 2018
Ahh! @benfluleck

Thanks a bunch.

And, noted, I'll ask my next batch of questions, if any arise, in bite sizes.

Thanks, again. smiley

benfluleck:


It's up to you smiley I can answer stuff you need clarity on but there are others here as well who want to learn as much as you so I would very much enjoy giving my input from here. As learning is good as a shared experience with different people contributing ideas I am constantly learning as well. At the moment I'm a tad to busy for a mentorship program as I am too occupied atm because I am a person that likes to give mentees my best with no distractions from my end. But do beware there are some things I will not talk about on a mail so please organise your questions appropriately.

Ok, man.

Here, a few:

1. Please, confirm that learning the following technologies before-hand, would make traversing the 2-week bootcamp easier:

* An ES6 refresher,
* ESLint,
* Node + Express,
* PostgreSQL / MongoDB / Firebase
* React + Redux
* Angular
* Authentication (port.js)
* A VCS (most likely git)
* Sass / Less

2. If I shouldn't "waste my time" (since time to bootcamp is very limited right now) learning any of the bullets above, please can you point out which?

3. Right now, all I use for learning to code (and code on) is a Thinkpad 13 Chromebook (4GB RAM, 16GB ROM, Celeron) which I have sideloaded Ubuntu Xenial (using XFCE Desktop) on via crouton. [for context]

During the 2-week bootcamp, are we going to be provided, you know, "workstations" where work or should I stop being foolish and go get a normal laptop before it kicks off?

4. If I should get a laptop, what specs do you advice I settle for. Will a 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, i5 U, laptop running Ubuntu be enough?

5. If I am buying a Laptop, should I buy a brand new expensive one (pricing north of N200k) or just get a used PC that I can make use of during the bootcamp period?

I asked #5 because:

6. When accepted into the fellowship program, is the new Macbook Pro given to you on day 1, or do you still keep making use of your personal computer until maybe after like, say, 6 months?

I'm sorry my questions are voluminous, and I understand you've got a job and other more pressing responsibilities besides helping a random stranger on the internet, so please don't feel pressured to answer any of my tendered questions. Answer them whenever you're free.

7. Once accepted into the fellowship, what are the working hours like?

8. During the first 6 months of "intense learning" is learning done alongside working, or strictly learning?

9. On getting paired with one of Andela's partners' Engineering team, have there been fellows who have had to leave the country to go work for them?


Thanks for your time. smiley

Cool! Buh everybody is going for the scooby stuff, i am done with the address book tho. it seemed less trickier to me wink

Yeah. The Address Book was cool too. I solved that as well but submitted the Scooby one.

For creating new s, you used a Class, yes?

Asin:

class  {
constructor(n, e, a, p) {
this.name = n;
this.email = e;
....
}
}


then:

1 = new ("Steve Doyin", "[email protected]", "Zootopia", "2348193928491" );
