MY GOALS FOR HNG INTERNSHIP 8
Published: 2021-08-16 11:03:00

My name is **Ayeni Timilehin** and I am a front-end developer based in Nigeria ☀️. HNG8 for me is like a challenge on myself and I decided to set my priorities straight by setting some career goals.
My goal for this internship isn't just to understand the front-end coding languages but to be able to implement designs of any form, build users-facing features and applications which I must ensure I finish this internship.
By the end of the eight weeks in this internship, I want to leverage my goals and aim at achieving an improvement in my performance metrics by 98℅ and also develop a personal brand where I can share my knowledge. Most importantly to work effectively with a team and also enhance my **networking skills** :

GOALS FOR THE HNG INTERNSHIP
Published: 2021-08-16 10:57:13

I am writing this article to show my interest and highlight my goals for this Internship. Firstly, the importance of an Internship cannot be overstated. Having a certificate from a period I served during this Internship would help me gain favours from future prospective employers, and build my resume.
I have several goals I hope to achieve during the 8 weeks this Internship would take place which are as follows: Gaining invaluable experience, Learning how to be involved in the daily tasks and improve my time management, learn to work with teams and network, work with supportive mentors, to make significant progress with Frontend in order to go into a tech career professionally, and be exposed to real work experience. 

I hope I can get through the 8 weeks of this Internship because I am a quick learner and enthusiastic about pursuing a career in this industry. My stack is Frontend. 

I am grateful to https://internship.zuri.team for this opportunity.

Here are a few tutorial links to learn;

Ever go on vacation, only to be bombarded by work emails and meeting invites? What are you supposed to do? Should you respond to these invites with either

a. "no" if the meeting is during the vacation, or,

b. "yes" if the meeting is after vacation

This means you would have to spend precious vacation time parsing through these invites figuring out if they fall within your vacation window or not. What if you had your own automated virtual assistant to take care of these bureaucratic issues while you’re on a beach sipping mojitos? Isn’t that what computers are supposed to do, instead of taking over the world like Skynet wants to?

You can now let Office 365 Outlook take care of this bureaucratic business while you’re on vacation. Outlook will:

1. Block your calendar for the duration of the vacation
2. Automagically decline all invites sent you during your vacation that fall within your vacation window
3. Decline any meetings you might have previously agreed to during this window, like daily standups
4. Cancel any meetings you previously setup that falls within this window.

Please note: as of publishing this post, this feature is only available on the web version of Office 365 Outlook [https://outlook.office.com](https://outlook.office.com)

Screenshots below show how to setup this up. Enjoy your vacay!

Rapid API: Home for your SaaS
Published: 2021-08-16 10:48:12

It’s incredible how easy you can to make your SaaS these days. We get everything we need for SaaS applications on platforms like [Vercel](https://vercel.com/) or [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) out of the box.

That’s great but what about when you are making your product around API. You need to make a dashboard for your application and giving access tokens for API usage. With all these hassles you don’t have time for creating features in your product.

### Rapid API advantages

When you are creating a product, it’s important to confront users’ needs. It’s hard to make features that support your customers and at the same time create a platform for managing access to your product.

[Rapid API](https://rapidapi.com/) gives you spaces for creating API and then shows it on a special marketplace.

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*msbBCcQFYQhULA41AhFC4g.png)

When you add your API, you can define plans and pricing. Add endpoints and define features. Rapid API comes with requests limits:

* Hard limit — user has defined amount of requests and nothing more
* Soft limit — user has defined amount of requests and above that need to pay an extra fee

![](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*WOmFDssunV-_1SxMh9khEA.png)

There are more features:

* Built-in support and announcements
* API analytics and alerts
* Transactions

### The product stays yours!

It’s not like that you need to give your product to Rapid API and it’s not yours anymore. Rapid API proxy requests to your product API, manage subscription plans, and access to it. You still need to host your API and manage its infrastructure. Rapid API doesn’t have access to your code, only to the server where are you hosting it.

You have all control over your product. You can make changes, add features or remove endpoints. But bear in mind that you should that are using your product with Rapid API.

### So, who’s it for?

In my opinion, Rapid API is great for two options:

* Early product development and focus to provide as much support for the clients as possible. Rapid API can help validate your idea and make a profit for future development.
* Expanding on the market and gain new users. Rapid API marketplace can help you get new clients.

Even if you are neither of these two, you can try it. It can be a solid market for your product, who knows.

My HNG Internship goals and ambition
Published: 2021-08-16 10:44:09

The HNG Internship is an ambitious attempt to change the way education is done in Africa. It’s the bridge between learning to code, and becoming the best in the world.

In this program, my goal is to network with other developers and build a good working relationship with others in this strong community. I also will want to be engaged in a positive way where I will learn from students, mentors and instructors, and be among the top students that will brag of my achievement at the end of the program

In 8 weeks time, I want to have learnt the basics of the required programming language in the frontend track and probably a framework to top it off so as to stand out in the industry. I also want to have built a strong portfolio with all the tasks and projects I will undertake in this program. 

I currently know a bit of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

8th Edition of HNG Internship for Junior Developers
Published: 2021-08-16 10:42:39

I am super excited that I am intern in the ongoing HNG8 internship program. Although it started few days ago and this is pretty my first task. As a frontend developer, I believe I am in the right environment where I can get experience in programming and get to develop my skills while making friends in the industry and promoting my  work.

I started off as a complete beginner at the just concluded Zuri training and although I didn't make it to the end, I have made massive progress in my ability to use HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

It was in the course of the training that I challenged myself to solve one problem my colleague and I were facing in my place of work. 

Just to add, I work in a medical diagnostic setting. Having to report patents' lipogram would normally take  some time, punching calculators to get results. I was introduced to that crude way of doing it since I started the job. We've had situations where the calculations were incorrect and we had to do it over and over again. I couldn't wrap my head around it so I decided to put an end to such erroneous procedure by creating a simple web page that get all the tasks done with just a simple click. 

I feel great about my learning process and I am usually motivated each time I see my colleague use it because it saves her time and also eliminates human errors.

Now that I am an intern in HNG8 , I am anticipating a massive transformation in my coding abilities and by the end of this internship I intend to achieve the following objectives:

1. Work effectively in a team
2. Become better in time management
3.  Enhance my networking skills
4. Improve my problem solving capabilities
5. Enhance good communication skills

I have heard so much about how intensed the HNG internship is but I am determined to make it to the final stage where I get to wear the customized T-shirt and also become a proud alumnus of HNG internship.

Every great developer started off as a complete beginner. In that case if you are new to software development and would like to have a feel of real work experience in the tech space, then follow the link below to find out more about the next cohort.

Likewise here are some other resources for you and I hope you will find them exciting to learn how to code as well.

Some cool JavaScript Shorthand that will make your code cleaner than your peer's
Tags: shorthands, javascript
Published: 2021-08-16 10:35:30

Here are 7 JavaScript shorthands that you as a JavaScript developer should know because who doesn't like shorter and cleaner code ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

## Convert string to number

Normally we use the `parseInt()` to do this. But, you can do this using the unary operator `+`. Sick right?
![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/8xhn4bsi89k0cvqfwbn1.png)

You can also do this by just adding the unary operator to an empty string
![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/jr3b6pui1dzzz6ct4ixp.png)


## The ternary operator

I'm pretty sure all of you must be aware about this but what's the harm in sharing it again.

 ![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ebwt1x5mfqtm0mfe9izp.png)
## The short circuit

Ever wanted to check for a condition and output something only if the condition was true? Were you also using `&&` like me? Well, not anymore, I present to you the short circuit.
![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/iz2cwm82jmng6uospgp7.png)
![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/qdezbqwpmyvhr6tyqrrs.png)

##Flattening an array

A lot of people use various methods to flatten an array like filter(), concat etc. But using the flat() method can get the job done quicker and better.
![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/t50dcuxvaiqj0v95wr5x.png)
 
## Merging arrays

Merging of arrays is one of the tasks that we need to do in our day to day coding. Be it the data from an API or whatever. Using the spread operator can get this job done in no time.
 ![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/fweqma08sp5imreecehi.png)

##Cloning Arrays

Just like merging, spread operator comes in handy even when you want to clone an array
 
 ![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/vh7g0gcd832a15gm79nm.png)
 

##The shorthand of `for` loops

We all have been writing for loops the C++ way up until now, but now it's time to do it the modern way. ![image](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/m3x3pq8a9oijqes52r44.png)
 

### TL;DR
1. Convert string to number
2. Ternary Operator
3. Short Circuit
4. Flattening an array
5. Merging arrays
6. Cloning Arrays
7. The shorthand `for` loop

Step By Step Guide To Push Your First Project On GitHub
Tags: github, git, vscode, code
Published: 2021-08-16 10:30:20

Depending on your situation, or what you are trying to do, there are probably a dozen ways to push your source code for for the first time to GitHub. But I’m these six git commands are the only ones I use.
My situation is a little simpler. I use GitHub just for my personal work. I don’t really collaborate with anyone. I don’t use branches. I work on the master directly. I use Windows. If this is your situation as well, then this post might help you.

##Set Up Your Environment
I assume that you have already set up your environment to use the git commands. If not, make sure you do the following first:

* Install [Git SCM](https://git-scm.com/) on your computer to enable you to use git on the command line.
* Register at GitHub. Then, create an empty repository.


##The Six Commands
I run these six commands in this order:

```git
git init
```
```git
git add -A
```
```git
git commit -m “your message”
```
```git
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/reponame.git
```
```git
git pull –rebase
```
```git
git push -f origin master
```

># git init


Initializes and prepares your directory for git. Suffice it to say that you need to open a command prompt or PowerShell » CD to your source code directory » type git init and Enter. You can execute git status at any point in time to see where you’re at in the process.

># git add -A


Prepares all changes on staging. The -A means all changes are staged including edits, additions, and deletes. I do this because I don’t have to think!

># git commit -m


Commits all the changes. After commit, you are ready to push to GitHub.

># git remote add origin


Associates your directory with a remote git server and repo. The URL of your repo is that URL that you see when you click the Clone or download button. You can execute git remote -v to verify that your directory has been associated with your remote repo.

># git pull –rebase


This step is somewhat controversial. I only use this because I am pushing directly to a master, so I need to pull from the remote first before pushing. In fact, if I don’t use this, it won’t let me push! According to Atlassian, it’s like saying, “I want to put my changes on top of what everybody else has done.” So, this is perfectly fine for my situation.

># git push -f origin master


Because I did a pull –rebase, I need to force or use the -f directive.

### That’s it
#### Let me know what you think!
