THE NEW JOURNEY: ROAD TO BECOMING A "MEAN" STACK DEVELOPER
Well, this is my first article about myself, my journey on becoming a "software developer" but first let me talk about myself, I am Abdulraqeeb Taiwo, an Electronic and Electrical Engineer by discipline with shaky confidence in fulfilling a project at first sight until I go deeper in getting the desired result of the project.
I have learned a lot of skills over my years in the university, from skills related to my discipline to software skills, I engaged in varieties of projects over the years, even being a team leader on different projects. Now let's talk about the skills have acquired so far are listed below.
1. Skills:1. Programming Skills
2. Electronic Skills
3. Application Skills
4. Some Side Skills (Digital Marketing etc)
2. Programming languages / Programming applications:1. Java
2. Matlab
3. Python
4. C programming language
5. VHDL
6. Data Science/Machine Learning/Deep learning using Python
7. JavaScript / NodeJS/ ExpressJs
8. HTML & CSS
3. Electronic Skills:1. Circuit Design and Analysis
2. PCB (Printable Circuit Board) Design
3. Soldering
4. Embedded System (Arduino)
5. FPGA
4. Application Skills:1. Arduino IDE
2. Circuit Design Applications (Eagle, Proteus, Multisim)
3. Microsoft Office Suite
4. Mongo DB
Don't worry about all of the above, recently I made up my mind to focus on just one thing in addition to my knowledge as an Engineer, which is being a MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and NodeJS) Stack, Developer.
Over the years it has been really hard for me to decide about what I want to do, or which skill I should focus on, I have always had a hard time deciding that it left me scared of being useless, many have called me a "Jack of All, Master of none" that got me concerned, also I was so quick to drop a skill I am trying to learn when I get to a difficult level and not wanting to leave my comfort zone. So I decided, I can't keep this up again I need to move forward and escape my comfort zone no matter the difficulty to succeed in life.
Now I am willing to share my weekly journey on becoming a MEAN stack Developer, so far so good I have finished learning NodeJs, ExpressJs and I am in the process of finishing my MongoDB skill acquisition before learning AngularJS, so far I have built an API (Application Programming Interface) using my knowledge from NodeJS and ExpressJS.
