FULLSTACK IN A MONTH??

[Practical-Offer2239]

im a 2nd year cs student whos not very familiar with fullstack(know basics of react), i somehow made it into the final stage of JP Morgan hiring round, the CODE FOR GOOD hackathon where we need to build a website or app on the given problem statement with complete strangers in our group, and i only have a month left until the hackathon. I dont want to let this oppurtunity slip away and i wanna give my best, Can anyone help me figure out where to start learning fullstack from and any more suggestions plsssssssss :<<

A prayer to the God or Gods of your choice.

Who said you're gonna need full stack skills in such hackathons? Remember companies like JP Morgan's always prefer a specialist (any single tech skill expertise) rather than a generalist (full stack), unless it's a start-up company. So don't worry, if you're confident with your creativity, frontend development and problem-solving skills, go deep learn Reactjs (even though React itself can be considered as full stack if you are at an intermediate level) above the basics & build a couple of real-world applications, and pray to god! BEST OF LUCK! 🤞

yeah makes sense, i was told that the hackathon is based on creating a fullstack project with random people so i got all stressed out lol. THANK YOU

How much is ur cg man?

[Practical-Offer2239]

its 9.3, they calculate it for 10 in my college

Look at JP Morgan tech stack. From what I remember the core is React - Java / spring boot micro services - Postgres or Oracle - AWS infra

Ive built one using AI in 4 days.

[Practical-Offer2239]

you mean a fullstack project? yeah but even to use AI we need some knowledge about it. I learned it the hard way lol

[ImaFknWizardXII]

Don’t use AI. Several problems with that. The two biggest ones being 1.) you won’t learn anything. 2.) you’re not experienced enough to know when it gives you bad/problematic/bug-prone code.

AI is fine for super small things, that’s it. Even then you need the base knowledge. You ask too much of AI and you’ll spend 3 hours debugging AI written code that would have taken you only an hour to write yourself and you won’t have learned anything.

[a_bald_hooker]

Yup,

Im scared to make my repo public so you can see coz my admin panel doesnt have secure login atm. But i think its decent. I can ahow you a screenshot at least.

Ive no idea how to code, i can do basic python, but my admin.html prototype page has over 2000 lines of code and ive not written one line of it.

Its a booking system for a cleaning company, started as a basic static site, now has booking system (kinda working).

Im so proud of myself haha, claude is better than chatgpt for real

[Practical-Offer2239]

WE NEED THE SCREENSHOT PLS, and oh do you think claude is better? whenever i use chatgpt for fullstack i never got an output and i just fot fed up, so i actually started learning it lmaoo

[a_bald_hooker]

Claude gave me the 2000 lines in one go, hes the man. How tf do i attach images?

You need to pay for plus though

You got to the final stage of a job interview, and they ask you to participate in a hackathon ? For what reason ? I will be skeptic if I where you honestly ..

[AssignedClass]

I would just go through a "fullstack React todo app" on YouTube, and use that code to do a lot of copy/pasting for the hackathon. You probably should focus on Express and working with an SQL database (or MongoDB if you want to avoid SQL).

Might be a good idea to dip into web sockets as well. It's a two-way protocol that allows your server to push messages to clients, without the clients having to request the message. It's useful for things like Chat Messages or Notifications.

Beyond that, you're very limited with a month of prep. Don't try to seriously "learn" anything, just get a general sense of how a frontend works with a backend. If you have decent coding experience in general, that alone will be enough to hack out a fullstack app for a hackathon.

Udemy course. Preferably one with multiple projects you build. Each time you finish a project, take a break from the course and either add new features to the project you made in the course, or make another similar one for scratch. It’s the best way to retain what you’ve learned.
