We are creating challenging projects for aspiring junior developers to help them get to the next level 🏹

Any webdev questions? Ask us using #BandaHelps!

#BandaDaily #10 for developers:

Start mentoring others to become a stronger software engineer.

🧵

Another question to #webdev / #100daysofcode mentors:

Do you create your own projects for your mentees to focus on a specific skill?

IMHO, many projects are designed to practice general/random set of skills - not something specific (i.e. async, architecture, tooling)

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

The question to #webdev mentors out there:

Do you use some platform for picking a project to use as a challenge for your mentees?

For example, I mentor a #js or #frontend junior dev - where I could find suitable projects for him/her? 🤔

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

Hey, fellow devs! We are making a place where any dev could share their project challenges or ideas to help other devs to hone their skills (like #js, #React, etc.) and level up

Hope, #100DaysOfCode crowds will find it a good source of practical projects ⚒️

What do you think?🤔

Even though I don't believe this is true, the joke itself is so fun, so I'll let it be😅

@NikolaR001 How about "Lean Startup" by Eric Ries?
https://t.co/YfKz8YsZl7

It's one of the most important books I've read so far on the question of building a product efficiently. I believe it's a valuable book for both entrepreneurs and software engineers.

@ChrisPiwinski Do you use any CSS libraries? Could you also share the piece of markup that is responsible for the player management page?

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

@ChrisPiwinski Hey Chris! Could you share a little bit more info on the issue? Are there any JS on the project (and any errors in the DevTools Console)?

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

#DEVCommunity is there any #ReactNative mentor out there who has some spare time for a junior developer to help him master best practices of mobile development using React?

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

What really need is to be ready to invest a lot of effort. You need to be open and ready to admit your faults while encouraging your mentees to move forward.

And only then in return, you get self-improvement and growth covering both hard and soft sides together.

#BandaDaily #10 for developers:

Start mentoring others to become a stronger software engineer.

🧵

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

It's hard work for both.

So what does it take to become a mentor?

And no, you don't need to be an expert with 10 years of experience. It's good to have that, but that's not the requirement.

[Banda Works @BandaWorks]

To summarize:

Track your progress. It encourages you when you are down, gives you feedback, and helps to be more intentional with your learning.

Also, find a way to publicly share your progress regularly - it's worth it, as you can see weak/strong sides and adjust your plan.

#BandaDaily #9 for self-learners:

Track your progress.

Doesn't matter whether you are just starting to learn #programming or mastering another framework. Find a way to track your progress.

🧵

Additionally, they reveal that the chances were even higher if the tracked results were publicly recorded.

E.g. if you commit to the #100DaysOfCode challenge and tweet your progress each day, you have higher chances of learning the #coding than just with silent practicing.
