News
The News feature provides updates about latest technologies and developments within the tech world. This component encourages junior developers to seek out new information and learn different ways that companies may be implementing new technologies. Staying primed to happenings in the coding world and becoming adaptable to new technologies within the field will make for an easy transition during your career. Spending time on this news feed will keep junior developers updated and encourage curiosity about the ever-changing and evolving technology scene.
Flashcards
The FlashCard feature helps junior developers strengthen foundational concepts in coding languages and libraries: Python, JavaScript, and React. Critical thinking and problem-solving are important when having technical interviews, reading others code, and debugging. They both help junior developers engage with the why question of a problem before jumping right to the answer. As a junior developer or developer at any stage it is important to have a skill that allows you to analyze your work, others work etc. Using the flash card component allows you the space to do that before rushing into an ineffective or incomplete solution.
Videos
The Video feature is a space to search live coding tutorials on and videos for any challenge one might be faced with as a junior developer. Working in software development involves problem-solving, trouble-shooting, and learning, no matter what level of experience one brings to a given project. Success as a junior developer requires humility and resilience when bugs emerge, and the video feature encourages developers to reach out to the wider software engineering community for help. As a dashboard feature within a single app, our video searchbar reduces the amount of time spent clicking between windows and tabs on the browser and streamlines the process of producing functional code.
Jobs
The Jobs component is a space to search software engineering jobs. It provides insight into what the job market is looking for and what technologies are being used by certain companies. Knowing what your strengths are as a junior developer is critical when applying to a job. Having a clear distinction of what those strengths and weaknesses are will help a junior developer know what companies are the best fit for their needs as a junior developer.. Also, as a junior developer, it is encouraged to have technical skills that can help evolve your career when being onboarded with a new company. Using this feature can help any junior developer understand where they should be investing their time best!
