My Journey to Software Development Mastery — C# phase by John Peter

As a potential software developer with some programming knowledge and a little bit of experience in frontend development currently, I still have a lot to learn when it comes to developing robust backend systems, building complex applications, and working with databases.

To that end, I enrolled in a .NET programming bootcamp. Here’s what I hope to achieve in the bootcamp, and how I plan to achieve my goals.

Learn the Fundamentals of C# Programming:* My first goal is to gain a strong understanding of the fundamentals of C# programming. This includes learning about data types, variables, operators, control structures, and functions. I hope to be able to write C# code from scratch and understand how to leverage Visual Studio Code (I use Linux)to build .NET applications. To achieve this goal, I plan to use all resources provided and complete all assignments and projects on time.

Build Complex Applications Using .NET: My second goal is to learn how to build complex applications using .NET. This includes working with object-oriented programming principles, such as classes, objects, inheritance, and polymorphism. I hope to be able to build applications that can handle large amounts of data and interact with external APIs. To achieve this goal, I plan to work on individual projects and collaborate with other participants on group projects.

Learn About Database Design and Management: My third goal is to gain an understanding of database design and management using C#. This includes learning about database models, data normalization, querying data using SQL, and managing databases. I hope to be able to design and implement databases that can support complex applications. To achieve this goal, I plan to use the resources at my disposal, complete assignments, and projects, and seek feedback from instructors and other participants.

Improve My Problem-Solving Skills: My final goal is to improve my problem-solving skills. I hope to be able to approach complex programming challenges with a clear and systematic approach. To achieve this goal, I plan to practice writing pseudocode, breaking down complex problems into smaller components, and seeking feedback from instructors and other participants.

Overall, I’m excited to start my journey in the EGabriel programming bootcamp and look forward to achieving these goals. I know it will be challenging, but I believe that with hard work, dedication, and the support of my peers and instructors, it’s possible.
