Course Perspective

Just came off the Full Stack Software Developer Assessment course, and wow, it’s been an eye-opener. I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to digital marketing and programming, but this course took me down roads I didn’t even know existed.

First off, it was a capstone of sorts—an assessment designed to gauge everything we’d learned in the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate program. So yeah, stakes were high. But I’ve always believed in getting my hands dirty before diving into any certification course. Certificates are great, but knowing your stuff? That’s the real deal.

We had to show our chops in a whole buffet of technologies, front end to back end. Think HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Django. They even threw cloud computing into the mix, along with GitHub. The course was basically a final exam in disguise, asking us to apply all these technologies in practical situations.

And don’t even get me started on microservices and containers. These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the future of how apps will be built and deployed. We had to dig deep into these topics, figure out how they fit into the bigger picture of full-stack development.

One of the best parts? Problem-solving. We weren’t just coding; we were troubleshooting real-world issues in software design, development, deployment, and operations. That’s the kind of experience you can’t just find in a textbook.

Now, I’ve got to admit, I’ve been around for a while, especially in Malaysia and Singapore. I’ve got my family, my main gig in digital marketing, and a whole bunch of side interests like badminton and red wine. I believe in sharing what I know, and this course gave me a lot to talk about.

So, in a nutshell, this course wasn’t just about getting another piece of paper to hang on the wall. It was about expanding my skill set, understanding the intricacies of full-stack development, and adding another tool to my toolbox. I’m pumped to take what I’ve learned and share it with anyone who’ll listen, all while applying it to my own projects. The learning never stops, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
