The Taskforce Bootcamp is an Awesomity Lab program (in partnership with Code of Africa) that has the vision of upskilling talented software engineers in Rwanda.
In a period of two months I spent in this Bootcamp, I acquired a lot of skills that will assist me in my career of software engineering. In this journal, I will highlight a few of the many key takeaways I acquired in soft and hard skills during this period.
Starting from hard skills, I’m going to explain strong skills I acquired in a few bullets below:
TypeScript: a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript and adds optional static typing to the language.
NestJS: a framework for building efficient, scalable Node. js server-side applications, built with and fully supports TypeScript. As a backend engineer during this Bootcamp, I collaborated on different projects built in NestJS and TypeScript.
DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development and IT operations. It aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality.
While I’m talking about the hard skills I can’t forget the Data structure and Algorithm challenges that we used to do to sharpen our skills in JavaScript.
Soft skills are another important skill I can’t skip. In the following bullets, I summarised many keys and knowledge I learned through this Bootcamp.
Teamwork: Due to the team's projects I collaborated on, I acquired the skills of collaboration and professional communication.
Project management: During the Bootcamp through sessions I learned how to manage projects without getting stressed by managing time wisely.
Professional writing: during the Bootcamp every week you write a journal explaining what you learned. This writing taught me to organize and write professionally.
I humbly thank Awesomity Lab and Code of Africa for their invaluable support and assistance they show in this program.
Thank you for reading!
