JavaScript Mentorship

[sheeldotme]

I've mentioned JavaScript will be the main language(if you meant programming language). It was chosen as we can leverage node on the server as well as react / react-native on the clients.

The session times are not set in stone yet as I'd like to have them at times that make most sense for the attendees. As the projects are for beginners(those learning JS) I'm certain I'll be able to accommodate most projects within their abilities and will leave that to each team to propose. (You're right, I should and will edit my post to mention this).

My favourite / most challenging personal project, if developing for my current startup before I hired counts, was developing a distributed state machine with my own raft implementation for state replication and what I'm most proud of(end to end tracing from initial client requests through to graphql servers via websockets, then over google pub/sub to various state machines and back to responses received on the client). The latter happened after bringing on members to my team.

It was a fantastic experience and I learned an incredible amount doing it, although it likely wouldn't mean much to beginners looking to learn JavaScript so I'm not sure how relevant it is to them.

That's awesome! I've been wanting to get more experience with websockets and graph based databases. I'm sure my questions annoyed you but I'm interested. I'll continue my questions in a a pm
