Week two Experience in task force 4 at Awesomity and Code of a africa

Hey my good people,

As I promised in my previous post, today I will be also sharing with you how my second week at #awesomity && #codeofafrica has been.
To start with, I would say it was a very informative and demanding week in which I learned a lot(as always😍).

I would categorize skills gained into two categories, soft skills and technical skills. And let's talk about those skills starting with technical skills and I will end soft skills.

Technical skills.

During the second we had an interesting discussion around software development and best practices with our one and only Yannick (CTO at #awesomity), where we talked about some interesting topics bellow.

Git workflow

We looked at how and why a team working on one same project, should use git as tool to help them keep track of every single changes made and different versions of codes they have. We went farther by discussing what are the best practices while working with git.

CI/CD

CI/CD for those who don't know stands for Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment. It is a method to frequently deliver apps to customers by introducing automation into the stages of app development. for the seek of time you can read more about it here

DevOps

DevOps is an emerging technology that is introduced in agile development that helps a team working on a project to delivery a good and quality software. I would recommend reading more about the topic its an interesting topic to know.

Soft Skills

We also had some interesting discussion around Values and the importance to have them as a person and as well as team, we also talked about Critical Thinking which was a really an interesting topic where we learned a lot on how to approach a problem while trying to come up with a solution for it.

As last week ended our week with a 5 min presentation about what we learned the whole week, expect that this time round it was a personal presentation.

To end with, I would like to thank you for reading this and hopping to see you again next week sharing as I will be sharing this week's experience. I am also excited to see what this week brings😎, see you.
