I am currently in the last week of the Umuzi bootcamp, and I have endured significant hardship. I don’t think I’ll ever willingly subject myself to such an intense experience again. As I speak, I am feeling unwell due to the sleepless nights and the stress. Despite not having a coding background, I managed to complete the three-week bootcamp. Additionally, I had a Coursera course that was supposed to take four weeks, but I completed it in just two days.Your story gives me hope may God bless you and keep on inspiring us brother

Hey there, just wanted to add that if the funds are available on your side, you might also want to consider CompTIA certificates. There is a proper range of niches to choose from, they are more specialised and widely considered.

@josiahthobejane Жыл бұрын
Try to learn almost all the basics of python first without using any frameworks like Django. After you are satisfied with your python skills, start using it with frameworks like Django to make applications, then go forward from there Look out for online learning platforms like codecademy, they offer python basic courses

Having a strong portfolio not only helps as part of your CV but it also helps you practice the types of things that will be asked in interviews and you can bring it up when it's time to talk about experience. It's also an easy way to see what the gaps in your knowledge are.
