Mel's Coding Corner

Welcome to Mel's Coding Corner, where lines of code and endless cups of panera bread's charged lemonade are the norm. But who says it has to be all work and no play? Here, I'm all about bringing some fun into software engineering and sharing my passion for coding with the world.

Think of this blog as my personal coding playground, where I get to share all my latest coding adventures and misadventures. But that's not all - I've also set aside a special spot just for me to journal my accomplishments, interviews, job fairs, events, hackathons, and thoughts.

This is a place where I get to celebrate my successes, reflect on my challenges, and share all my tech musings with the world. And the best part? It's all my own - a virtual space just for me to unleash my coding creativity and share my journey with all my fellow coding enthusiasts out there. So join me in Mel's Coding Corner, and let's dive deep into the wonderful world of software engineering together!

print('Hello world!')

It's official - I'm a Hack Reactor graduate! After 19 weeks of intensive learning, coding, and collaborating, I've successfully completed one of the most highly-regarded software engineering bootcamps in the world.

But what exactly is Hack Reactor, you may ask? Well, it's not your typical coding course, that's for sure. This program is designed for aspiring software engineers who are looking to take their skills to the next level. And trust me when I say, it's intense. From day one, I was thrown into the deep end, working on complex coding projects and collaborating with fellow students to build functional web applications.

The curriculum covered full-stack development, incorporating both Python and JavaScript, giving me a comprehensive understanding of these two powerful programming languages. We dove deep into topics like design patterns, domain driven design, object oriented programming as well as exploring more advanced concepts like data structures and algorithms.

But the best part of Hack Reactor? The hands-on experience. We worked on real-world projects, collaborating with industry professionals and getting a taste of what it's really like to work as a software engineer in the tech industry.

Overall, Hack Reactor was an incredible experience that has provided me with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed as a software engineer in today's ever-evolving tech landscape. I'm excited to take what I've learned and put it into practice, building innovative and impactful software that will make a real difference in the world. So, to my fellow Hack Reactor graduates, let's take the coding world by storm!
