#fullstack academy

When I was still attending Fullstack, Jon and I worked on an open source library to utilize multithreading in JavaScript.

Now that I look back on this project, I have some feedback to give myself.

In this project, a new web worker is spawned for each element in the array.

While this is fine for smaller arrays, like the ones used in our demo, if the arrays become much larger, this can become extremely inefficient from the overhead of creating and destroying threads. 

I was accepted to Fullstack Academy!!

I also interviewed with Thinkful and Hack Reactor, but I’ve decided to go with Fullstack. I’ve had great experiences with them so far and I’m confident I’ll go where I want to with their help. 

Scheduled a call with them tomorrow to figure out the next steps.

So I can see why there aren’t many blogs that follow someone through the bootcamp process. It’s easy to get swept away in the learning!

I received a scholarship to take Fullstack’s Bootcamp Prep course, which I took advantage of. I hope I can thank whoever decided to hand out scholarships someday, it really opened a door for me. The class itself has been fantastic. The teacher really knows what he’s talking about, and I’m getting guidance on things like best practices that I’ve never been given before. This is the last week, wrapping up the intro to recursion and taking some practice admissions assessments.

I was feeling confident so I decided to apply to both Hack Reactor and Fullstack today. I passed Hack Reactor’s coding assessment and scheduled an interview. I have to wait for Fullstack to give me access to the assessment, if I’ll even have to? I think one of the things promised to those who take the Prep class is that the assessment gets waived if you pass it at the end. Either way. I’m pretty sure I’ll get into both.

The last few days have been a whirlwind. I attended a Fullstack Academy infosession and was given a huge discount on their Bootcamp Prep course, so I signed up. Class starts Monday! I’m very excited.

Last night, I went to an Intro to Javascript workshop hosted by Thinkful. It was super basic, day 1 codecademy material. I did learn the difference between == and ===, though, and got a chance to see who is affiliated with Thinkful. 

Today I signed up for a Javascript Fundamentals workshop hosted by Hack Reactor which I will go to this weekend. I am pumped. Things seem to be moving along much faster than I anticipated!

How to Know if You Should Enroll in Coding Bootcamp

From Fullstack Academy and Bloc to Firehose Project, there are a number of top-tier online options for learning and growing coding skills. More and more programs seem to be popping up every day as employers continue to emphasize coding ability as an in-demand skill and must-have talent for new hires. Coding bootcamps are designed to help novice or veteran coders level up their knowledge through…

Hey guys! This has been where I’ve been spending my life the past few months! And  I helped do this challenge :) Enjoy!
