My Dev Journey
Published: 2021-08-16 10:26:15

Hi, I am Manny. Here is how my journey into development commenced.. 

Start your engines..

I have always loved computing since I completed the desktop publishing training back then when I left secondary school. I finished top of my class, so I decided to swap my dreams of being a Doctor, for computers. I gained admission into the university to study Computer Science, but it wasn't as smooth as I would expect. I actually didn't know anything about programming, and was just concerned with graduating. I didn't face any programming challenges until my final year. I did so well, there and then, I knew I was made to write code.

Fast forward...

I finally completed my service year and was thrust into the job market. I worked as an intern in an airline company. I resigned after 3 months, I was a corporate errands boy *lol*! I then got a job on contract at a tech company. There I saw young people writing stuff on computers, I didn't know what they where doing, all I knew was they looked fresh, and always had pizza for lunch.

I finally started learning to code. I started with Java, then I diverted into Python. I was making no headway! After a lot of unfruitful effort, I decided to pay for knowledge. I took several Udemy courses. YouTube was very helpful too. I watched HTML/CSS videos, like [HTML/CSS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU6anWqZJcc). I got a job through connection, at a healthcare company, but I knew I wasn't good enough still.

I started learning Reactjs. I used [ReactJs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke90Tje7VS0). I started working on a fullstack project too. Then after 6 months I quit my job and focused on improving myself. I am so glad I did.. _wink_!

**My Goals For The Internship**
Actually, I am not a beginner. My goal would be to network. I have always loved competitions, and I enjoy learning new things. I am quite certain I would be made to implement solutions that will open me up to new packages. The certification and T-shirt will also look nice on me.

I am a Fullstack Engineer on the MERN stack. Although for this internship, I will be strictly working on the backend. I am looking forward to what I can achieve at the end of 8-weeks.

10 Ways TaskOPad Helps Teams Achieve Project Management KPIs

Tags: productivity
Published: 2021-08-16 09:58:26

Different teams in your company are working on various tasks to achieve a common goal- timely completion of projects. Here, a project management KPI (Key Performance Indicator) plays a vital role in building team synergy and accomplish projects on time. KPIs consist of the key performance goals across all aspects related to team involvement for a specific project.

In this article, we are going to see how a feature-rich task management app, TaskOPad assists your teams to achieve project management KPIs. But before moving forward, let’s have a brief introduction of project management KPIs and their importance in modern businesses.

<h3>Project Management KPIs- Measuring Efficiency and Productivity</h3>

In project management, KPIs involve various measurement tools for showing how teams are achieving specific goals. On one hand, these KPIs reflect the company’s central objective of the project, and on the other hand, they can strengthen accountability and responsibility among team members across different departments. 

Even if the scope and T&Cs of KPIs may differ from one project to another project, some benchmarking measures including ROI (Return on Investment), cost performance, cycle time, and customer satisfaction remain the same.

<h4>Here are some of the examples of project management KPIs-</h4>
- Monthly labor costs spent
- Resource allocation for the project
- Development backlog
- Estimated project completion time
- Project schedule

Family Beach Vacation At Atlantis
Published: 2021-07-24 16:04:44

Family Beach Vacation At Atlantis

Located on Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the 
Atlantis Paradise Island offers so many activities
that it's probably one of the only resorts in the 
world where you'll need a map to even get around!
![Alt Text](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/uwszq2h6b44g8z2lasj8.jpg)
The accommodations here range from moderately
priced to very expensive.  Families on vacation
here should consider staying in the Coral Towers,
which is the most centrally located tower at
Atlantis.  The Coral Towers is also closest to the
Predator Lagoon and the Lagoon Pool as well.

Atlantis Paradise Island Resort is also packed with
activities for guests of all ages.  The eleven
pool areas, miles of sandy beach, and Neptune's
Water Toys Hut give guests access to many water 
based activities.  Neptune's provides non motorized
water sports which include water bikes, pedal 
boats, kayaks, and even snorkeling equipment rentals.

Parents will adore
Atlantis has two different programs for children,
the Aqua Tots program and the Discovery Channel Camp.
The Aqua Tots program was designed for children 3
years old and up, while the discovery camp is for
kids 4 - 12 years old and ranges from a 1 hour 
program to one that includes lunch and even dinner.

Kids love
All kids love the six different water slides and
the marine exhibits.  This can keep kids busy for 
hours and hours, and are pretty fun for the parents
as well.  In order to enjoy the slides, kids must be
at least 48 inches tall.

<a href="https://www.bohye.online/">a beach vacation</a> at Atlantis is something your
entire family will love.  There is something here
to keep everyone occupied, from the beaches to fun
on the slides.  If your family enjoys the best of fun
and the beach, Atlantis is something your whole 
family will enjoy - and love coming back to.
Starting My Flutter Development Journey With HNG
Published: 2021-08-16 09:53:43

I am not new to the concepts of programming. I have been to some tech meetings, seminars and I've also attended many tech webinars. So I have a good basic background of what programming entails. 

HNG internship 2021 (https://internship.zuri.team) has kicked off, and tasks have been given. I have the intention of reaching the finals. It will be very challenging but I am ready for the challenge and I hope to become very proficient in flutter development.

One goal I plan to achieve is to create apps that are scalable and meet users need.

If you are just starting out in tech, this links might be very useful to you.

The war between CSS white and black
Tags: css, webdev, a11y
Published: 2021-08-16 09:53:32

When I started learning web design, one of the first things was about colors and how to use them in the designing process. 
Colors have meaning, they tell you about the theme on their own, they highlight parts on the site etc. 

Part of accessibility is that you take consider the colors from point of viewing issues such as colorblindness, limited vision etc. where high contrast can be a good thing, but
**you should never use the #ffffff (white) and #000000 (black)**. There's so many shades of both you can pick, but especially when dark mode is popular choice of many, the contrast is just way too high and it'll strain your eyesight fast.

So why it seems that lately there's so many sites that use this high contrast anyway? It might look "cool" but I wonder how many front end devs actually knows enough about web designing?
There's web designers and there's front end devs and for many it's clear who does what but what I've learned following job advertisements, that the smaller the company, the more falls on front end dev, and there's no designers in the company to begin with..?!

And where does this leads us.. Web sites and apps with lacking the basics of designing, the lack of accessibility and people left struggle to find the services that they can actually use.
Be Consistent - That Is Your One Thing
Tags: productivity
Published: 2021-08-16 09:53:28

It's easy to be bombarded by things you should work on or should do. Things from work, things in your life, things you read on social media.

This can cause overwhelm and it can be difficult to see the wood from the trees.

How can you overcome this to get your most important work done each day? How can you prioritize the things that will give you the most value in the long term?

**Focus on one thing and make that one thing consistency.**

- Embody the mindset of consistency. 
- "I am the kind of person that's consistent".
- Eliminate the distractions, the fears, and the doubts to focus on one thing each day.

I have been trying to write every day since January. For the most part, I've been successful with this. 

But, as I'm considering starting a newsletter or an eBook, doubt has set in. Consuming too much content recently has caused me to question how successful I'll be.

**This is the point that separates the successful from the not-successful.** 

I'm choosing to be consistent with the things I want to create.  

I'm not going to let the doubt or uncertainty trick me into quitting.

I'm confident that if I create a simple plan for the next quarter and stick to that plan, I will have been successful.

**Focus on one thing and make that one thing consistency.**

Try `cd`ing around, `ch`anging the `root`, maybe `shred` a few files, `cat`, `cd`, `fortune`, `lolcat` and more. `cat help.txt` for some help. Also try `vim` or `nano` or `emacs` or `ed` or more...

There's also multiline prompt: Try typing `cat help &&` and hitting enter.

There's also a bunch of easter eggs (5 to be exact). Let me see how many you can find!

My Goals for HNGI8 for the next 8 weeks
Tags: hngi8, tech, javascript, codenewbie
Published: 2021-08-16 09:45:10

#How to become an HNGi8 Finalist
I remember when I got the mail from [zuri](https://internship.zuri.team) asking me to join the long awaited HNG internship!!! wow what a day it was, finally I get to ask hard questions of myself as to how far I have grown in this journey into the "dangerous" world of tech, of course I quickly registered and began the necessary preparations for completing this noble endeavor which includes prayers, lifting javascript weights on websites like [freeCodeCamp](https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures/), reading motivational books like [The Secret](https://www.thesecret.tv/products/the-secret-book/) , [The Alchemist](https://www.amazon.com/Alchemist-Paulo-Coelho/dp/0061122416) , repeating mantras like "with great power comes great responsibility" you know basic preparations. However, the truth was that HNG internships is not walk in the park, according to their website "*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.*" further research revealed that "*The Internship is designed to surface the very best of candidates out of a large pool of participants. It is fast paced and challenging, and helps people learn how to work in teams, deal with pressure and quickly expand their knowledge.*". Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to scare anyone I just want to remind myself why I am in this and how I intend to get to the end of this "rocky,dangerous but fun" journey with my head held high and my chest pushed out while standing at the front of the finish line to receive my HNGi8 T-shirt. Consequently, I am taking the following steps to ensure the HNGi8 finalist T-shirt fits perfectly with v-neck sef. They are :
1. Get better at Data Structures and Algorithms i.e really grind and solve at least one Algorithms question a day on any challenge platform like [codewars](https://www.codewars.com/), [hackerrank](https://www.hackerrank.com/) and [coderbyte](https://coderbyte.com/).
2. Practice Just in Time Learning(JITL). what!!! you may ask, well this article by [Ayomide Oyekanmi](https://ayomideoyekanmi.medium.com/on-getting-into-google-8bb1afcfd526) tells a story to show you why.
3. Be ready to learn anything, try anything and practice anything to complete any task.
4. Focus on getting from stage to stage
5. Make helpful friends, help others, socialize and complete the Internship.
6. Get better at using figma to design, start with this tutorial [How to figma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXQ7IHkTiMM)
7. Get better at using Git, start with this tutorial [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-About-Version-Control)
8. Get better at Javascript, start with this tutorial [Javascript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8YENdbDv1w)
9. Brush up on HTML using this tutorial [HTML](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8ORfgUa8ow)
10. Make sure the finalist T-shirt fits perfectly lol.

That's it and I know it would be a fun filled ride to the top.
