The journey so far has been an interesting and educative one and I am gratefult to be part of this bootcamp. Below, I'll highlight my learnings and areas for improvements thus far.
To set us up for success in the program, we began by installing the required systems on our computers. I already had SQL, Git and VS Code installed on my system, but I ran into an issue when it came to updating my python version. This was when I first heard of Powershell (apparently, it was already installed on my system but I didn't know of it 😅). With Powershell and an extra help from our trainer 😉, we were able to sort this in no time.
In this week, I was introduced to cybersecurity basics and the command line.
- Cybersecurity: The importance of being cyber aware was emphasized, with myself and my team mates diving deeper into cybersecurity concepts and real world examples of the consequences of a cyber attack.
- Command line: It was interesting to see how else a system can be navigated using command prompts in the terminal....more to come
- Mastering the basic commands for the cmd line and for git.
- Personal reflection to understand areas of strengths and weaknesses.
