My TIIDELab Experience 2.0 (Second Month)

Guess who I met on the 2nd of October 2020?

After rounding up HTML and CSS tutorials with Mr. Solomon Chokor, we began to dine with Mr. Ibrahim Kehinde (Mr. Kenny as we all love to call him), the CEO of K-Solution, the company providing us with everyday morning CCA-Test, He is a GURU not only in JavaScript but programming in general.

At first I doubted I will be able to cope with JavaScript Because of my love for Python, but I was totally wrong, as Mr. Kenny’s mode of teaching was so perfect for me, he’s patient and always ready to go back to page 1 even though we’re on page 1024, just for a single person among us all to understand.

Mr. Kenny wasn’t the one I met on the 2nd of October 2020

2 weeks into Mr. Kenny’s JavaScript classes, I was able to have a personal JavaScript Project of my own and also have a couple of assignment which I hosted on netlify.

I leant how to use JavaScript for

1. Array and Object
2. Conditional Statement for validation
3. Browser Local Storage CRUD
4. DOM and BOM Manipulation
5. Event Listeners

Below are the projects I was able to kick start with my JavaScript Knowledge

1. Future College
2. TIIDELab Service

also added Registration, Validation and Login functionality to my team project just with Vanilla JavaScript.

Truly JavaScript brings lives to web development, the feeling of seeing my team project move from hard-coded data to dynamically collecting data from users and retrieving back information as we intended is really amazing.

Mr Kenny has really been a blessing to my JS career for taking time to break down JavaScript basics into tiny meats.

Here are my accomplishment with JavaScript so far

1. Answered 24 correct JavaScript questions in 3 minutes 38 seconds

My JavaScript Quiz Result on W3SCHOOL

2. Proceeded to pursue a W3school JavaScript Certificate

Completed 67 JavaScript Exercises at W3SCHOOLS

I am really happy with the JavaScript secrets Mr. Kenny has revealed to me.

Guess you’ve forgotten the question about who I met on the 2nd of October?

Just 1 more!!!!

I was scheduled for a 30 minutes interview with Celestine Omin, the CTO of altalabshq, he began by asking me questions on Version Controls which was actually my favorite, he then proceeded to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. He shared his screen and logged on to his company’s website and asked me to tell how I will go about achieving some components, which I was glad to narrate. It was as if the 30 minutes should continue because I wanted more from this Legend whose flight was delayed after been accused of not looking like a programmer. you can read about him on Google, his previous works includes Andela, Konga and Paystack, obviously you now know why I want to continue the interview with him? lolx

Here is the question I asked him when he asked me for a question

Finally As I have promised.

Celestine Omin wasn’t the one I met on the 2nd of October 2020 either

It was Mr. Kadir Salami (TIIDELab Daddy)

On getting to the usual Friday meet up venue, Mr. Shamsudeen (Big Brother) announced that the CEO of TIIDELab and Tech Specialist will be joining us soon, personally I had a mix feeling, the sweet feelings of finally going to meet the MAN and the fear of meeting him.

Mr. Kadir Salami is undoubtedly an humble man from the way he talked, mingled with us and also laughed out loud during our Senatorial Debate, he made a delightful ambience for us all.

He blessed us with 5 GOLDEN principles

1. Have an entrepreneurial mindset
2. Be self confidence
3. Practice Practice Practice
4. Improvement
5. Reinvesting in yourself

what stood out for me most was the question he asked us WHO ARE YOU?

I was like really? WHO AM I? this keeps banging on my head and I have been working on 3 different answers to shoot when next I am asked by anyone.

He’s the 2nd from the left while I am the second from the right

can you see?, he didn’t even stay at the center, his response was let the Madam Senate President stay there. I really like Mr. Salami’s Humor.

He really didn’t disappoint my expectation, he’s really an humble man, and I am glad to be under him as a mentee.

Now that you know who I met on the 2nd of October. It shows that I have fulfilled my promise.

Thanks a lot for reading this far.

I will be posting more about my stay at TIIDELab and very soon starts writing tutorials on some coding topics and problems I encounter.

Thanks for reading to the end….SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
