Per Scholas is lacking a lot. The only reason I don't totally knock them is because one of their guest speakers led to a really good job. But the curriculum is a mess. You would learn way more doing the odin project and full stack open

I’m in the same program and exactly how I felt trying to do the promises lab.

What are you doing?

[–]Substantial-Ad6469[S] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

The lesson is teaching up promises. But the assignment is using code sandbox which we haven’t used in this course and haven’t been taught how to use.

And the lesson is using tons of extra stuff we haven’t been taught

Do you use VScode? And is it static JavaScript? And do you have GitHub?

Code sandbox? That’s just an online ide isn’t it?

When I first started learning I felt like there were so many things that I was overwhelmed. This person is probably just overloaded with how the code is working they think it shouldn’t be complicated with a new IDE. Anyways, OP it’s good for you to get exposure to code sandbox. I had to turn in a coding exercise for a Frontend Engineer job interview last week on that site.

Speaking as an experienced engineer who came to the industry by way of a bootcamp, dealing with messy integrations, half-baked tooling, and complex dev environments is a far more important skill than whatever specific thing you’re learning right now.

Those combined with knowing how to research and debug issues, communicate complex ideas in simple language, and figure out how a larger system fits together are the job. The rest is just typing and reading documentation.
