Final Group project is a solo one
It’s actually even worse, it’s become a “Ryan” project
Other team member contributions
Committed GitHub repo of another project without changing anything
Slacked some code instead of putting in git
Created more artwork and logos
Nobody has used the GitHub issues or project board
Time sinks
Spent more than an hour trying to kill a service
Spent half an hour to build from source
Broke the entire Node package
Zone out in front of the monitor
GitHub insight
A cool feature of owning a repository are insights
See exactly how many clones and pulls to a repository there have been
Final day

Follow up
From Brandon @brandon_mn on Twitter
In bootcamp #22 follow-up:
– folks ask me about the U of M bootcamp and it’s quality and I’ve always been like “Not sure – it’s a bootcamp, have fun!’ but thanks to matt’s feedback I won’t be saying that
– ughhhhhh java
Computer science unit was super short
Big-O notation
Felt like Computer Science coverage from Bootcamp was very lacking
High School AP Computer was better for Computer Science
Bought a udemy course to bolster coverage
Mail server
Mail server using Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL
Why not use MailChimp or Sendgrid?
MailChimp apparently still requires mail server locally

React is done/ few last minute things
Redux not covered
Context not covered
No hooks
Java
It was hard to get started; installation was difficult
Examples are not followed up on now
Learning about packages; with the classpath
Ryan shared Spring Initializer
“What is the world?”
Changed the course syllabus
Done with Java
“Building webapps with Java” basically cut from the program
Java homework is optional
Project 3
Not going well already

State
<Dog name=”roxy” age={9} />
Using `.map` like a pro
Used components like a beast
Destructuring
Chat with the TA
TA took Prime Digital
UMN Bootcamp was very different in comparison
He took the fulltime version for 20 weeks
He would recommend Prime Digital
Profolio
Professor suggested scraping the existing portfolio
Trying a Gatsby template instead
Good idea – except for keeping the template as is
Gatsby starters

Mongodb & Robo Mongo
No defined shape, you can do anything
Windows struggles to handle Mongo
Group project 2
Not much experience prior to the project with Express and Seqelize
Passport threw everyone for a loop
This is a pandemic issue in JavaScript today; very little documentation and cookbook examples are available and kept up-to-date
Some team members did not contribute very much
Some team members were instructed about an issue but then did it again later
The team received an A on this project
What did I learn?
Travis and Git repositories
Nobody likes to communicate
“I don’t know what I’m doing”

Jobs
Follow up from HackerX
Associate Software Engineer & Customer Support
Java oriented
International Decision Systems, Group
Customer Support in the title is very dismaying
The job description… mentions a technology not to be used on the web
Job posting literally asks for a Bachelor’s degree in computer science
Location is a pro and a con
You are NOT looking for a job, you are looking to begin your career
