AMA (ask me anything)

[serapath]

Hey, I hope you don't mind I opened this issue for you.

Just checked your profile and am doing a round of visiting everyone's profile to see how they are doing. We forgot a little bit to mention and explain how "projects": [ ...] are supposed to work. You already filled out the introduction template and also posted it on the chat.

We were thinking that everyone will list a fresh open source github repository under projects to describe what they are passionate about and would like to learn and/or work on during the codecamp. It would work like the following:

1. you create another empty github repository and give it a project name
2. then you click create file README.md or an issue and describe what you want to learn or work on
3. then you post your project repository link on the main chat so others can see and list it under your "projects": [ ]
4. then you make a round through other codecamp attendees github profiles and check their AMA issues to ask and interview them about their projects.

The goal is to:

• find people who want to learn the same stuff and maybe team up as "study friends"
• find people with similar projects so you can split/share the work and practice to collaborate online
  • beginners can find mentors who can give them some exercise tasks useful to their project
  • advanced folks can outsource some work for beginners to practice

Later in the CodeCamp we hope everyone will be able and manage to build something nice and maybe useful for other peoples projects

• maybe a smart contract to replace traditional backends with new blockchain p2p ways of doing things
• maybe a javascript module that others can use in their projects
• maybe a little app that others can use in their apps as iframes

We hope everyone will learn a bit more about how to collaborate digitally when working remote with others and develop some self initiative when it comes to search partners to work on ideas and be a little bit "entrepreneurial". We want to help everyone to develop their programming skills for frontend javascript, but also new p2p blockchain stuff ...depending on what they want to focus on during the codecamp.

---

We will monitor everyones progress and later during the weekend (saturday or sunday) post some custom learning materials to everyone based on what project they want to collaborate on :-)

If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know or post on the chat so we can help

Hi Alex, thanks for you help :).

I update the profile for myself.

I will survey it first. maybe it will give me some new idea.

I am also trying to learn more about blockchain. I started with Basic tutorial to build Ethereum based contracts. I have 2 more lessons to go and then I want to also write the code myself, because for now I was just watching the videos.

sounds very cool.

Maybe you could think about how your write your project using multiple javascript modules and go around to find people who would be interested to practice writing javascript modules so you could collaborate :-)
