My She Code Africa mentorship program progress in two weeks
It is said that "direction is more important than speed." When you embark on a journey of the unknown, you will need a guide at some point while on it. As a self-taught developer, I had this need for direction. I seemed lost most of the time. The developer community is quite helpful but you still need a 'go-to' person.
When She Code Africa announced her mentorship program for the cohort 4, I was elated. Just what I needed at the moment. I applied and was taken as a mentee on the JavaScript track. Toady marks the end of the second week of the mentorship program. This is an article on my progress so far since I joined the mentorship program.
