AMA (ask me anything)

[serapath]

Hey Zoy :-)

Sry - hope you don't mind I opened the AMA issue for you ;-) So cool to see you again on the workshop. I hope it worked for you and you liked it yesterday. If you have any feedback how we can improve it more please let me know :yum:

---

Just checked your introduction template - the JSON in the chat. I saw you didn't update the twitter field and the "github" is missing too.

Here it is updated

{
  "username": "cgjzoy",
  "name": "Zoy Chen",
  "projects": [
    "https://github.com/cgjzoy/profiles",
  ],
  "background":[
    "A javascript beginner",
    "work QA in software company"
  ],
  "interests":[
    "JavaScript (how to build web, desktop and mobile apps)",
  ],
  "twitter": "---",
  "github": "https://github.com/cgjzoy"
}

Super cool that you linked the profiles repository. We forgot to explain more clearly how the "projects": [...] field is supposed to work.

We were thinking, everyone will make another empty open source github repository for the project about what they want to learn and/or work on during the codecamp :-)

the goal is:

1. you would make another github repository
2. you give it a name
3. you click create file README.md or an issue and describe roughly your project idea
4. you then go around to other people's AMA issue (like this one of yours now) :-)
   • and check and interview them what they want to learn and work on
5. and use the inspiration to refine your project idea about what to learn and work on during the codecamp to:
   • find new like minded people to learn together
   • find ppl with similar ideas and topics to split/share work with them together on a project
   • maybe more experienced people can give suggestions
   • maybe find beginners you can outsource some work to and mentor them

The goal is to practice to collaborate together online. Because this is very important to practice when you want to work remote in the future.

Ideally - after some time of learning - you can already try to make "pull requests" to contribute to other peoples projects ... or build a javascript module and publish it so others can re-use it ... or build something others can re-use as an iframe.

It all depends on your project idea and which topics you want to invest in, like:

• self employment and remote work techniques and tools and how to be as a digital nomad
• or vanilla javascript and web apis and how to make modules and APIs and collaborate with others
• or maybe blockchain and smart contracts as a modern more p2p way to replace traditional backends

It's up to you. If you have more questions - please tell me or ask on the chat :-) I'm happy to help.

I will check everyone's progress when you like others post a link to your little project repository and describe your learning project idea, so that i can post you custom learning materials on saturday or sunday to help you learn and get started with exactly what you want.

So also checkout what other people do and let me know.

cheers ;-)

did you already make a github repository for your project idea and have a link?

[cgjzoy]

haha... >< not yet. I am not very familiar with github, I will try it.

[serapath]

no prolem.

1. try to make another github repository and give it a name
2. they have a button to create new files like README.md to describe your project.

just say aprox. what you want to learn and maybe work on during the codecamp and i will find some custom learning materials :-)

hey hey :-) just want to say - if you wanna join a project and practice to work "remote" with others, check our project. just write me a message on the gitter chat
