| | Zubair Moola | I joined WeThinkCode_ with no previous background into UNIX or software development/coding.
Through the initial 1-month bootcamp we were given an introduction into using a UNIX system through the command-line interface, as well as programming in C.
The course is structured on peer-to-peer learning with direction, but not instruction, from the facilitators. With the way the lessons are structured, I was able to gain a deep understanding of memory management as well a the flow and processing of data on a very low level. From this it was a natural progression when I started working on programming web applications using higher-level languages and compilers, as well as developing a hobby with .
Aside from training us to code, WeThinkCode_ provided us with mentorship and opportunities for personal growth through workshops and social outreach programmes.
I joined Britehouse as part of the annual internship arranged by WeThinkCode_. Due to personal circumstances I was unable to return to WeThinkCode_ for the second year of study, however Britehouse was more than eager to take me on as an intern because of the skills and work-ethic I'd inherited from being at WeThinkCode_.
Within the past year I was quickly adopted into the custom application development team and had been promoted twice, to junior and then intermediate developer.
I have managed to learn and adapt to new languages and applications quickly and effectively using the fundamental knowledge I gained from being at WethinkCode_ and, without question, owe my growth and trust that the company I work for and their clients place in me to the guidance training, and opportunities provided by WeThinkCode_. |
