Coursework content

The typical CodeYourFuture trainee (you) will have made a plan in their head on how to take an intensive training like ours and still find time to work, look after a family, and children, solve legal issues, get healthy, commute, etc. This plan is typically inaccurate to the actual time and energy levels needed to dedicate enough time to each one of the activities, particularly studying.

This plan will typically last until you graduate, at which point you will have planned to return to your everyday life until you find a job. We know that successful CYF graduates begin their lives as developers when they begin our course and continue throughout life.

If you want to be a developer, you have to act like a developer daily. Becoming a developer is not about getting a job. It’s about playing a role in software development weekly, daily, if possible.

Becoming a professional in this field requires constant improvement and practice. It doesn’t stop after your training. This training will be just the beginning. Whatever plan you make, you must project it for the rest of your life.

What is the purpose of this assignment?

Let's identify your weekly activities and availability,

• Make a copy of this spreadsheet onto your drive
• Fill in the number of hours for every weekly activity. Your summary will give you a detailed description of how your week passes between these activities. You do not need to provide details about these activities, just how much time you dedicate to each. Make sure you include the time you spend in each. If your week changes a lot, describe a week that summarises the hours you dedicate to each activity.
• Add a row if you have an activity not included in these items.

Now let's reflect on the outcome
An important goal of this exercise is to observe your life from an external perspective.

• Write a statement about your reflection. It should be at least 50 words long.
• Don't forget to check your text with a grammar tool, such as Grammarly

Why are we doing this?

Being a developer involves getting used to setting up lots of software and equipment. It is tough at first but you will get used to it (you never really get happy about it).

You must read through the precourse prep and get set up for class. When you hit blockers, post on Slack and work the problems. Blockers are normal.

Every week you will get prep work to do before class. This is always the most important work you must do that week, so schedule it into your diary.
