Hey , I'm gonna be hosting a mini hackathon
0:16
. It's four weeks long and it's
0:18
for aspiring web developers . So you
0:20
feel like you're struggling to finally start
0:22
that project , that portfolio project
0:25
that you think is gonna be marketable to employers
0:27
. You think it's gonna make you stand out like
0:29
this is for you . So
0:32
I'm a huge advocate for new developers
0:34
diving deep into project work . I think that's where
0:36
most of your growth comes from . Essentially
0:39
, there are only a couple of rules . You gotta
0:41
host it publicly on GitHub for the duration
0:44
of the mini hackathon , and
0:46
so that's just so people can see your code
0:48
. You could see others code . It can be a collaborative
0:50
experience . If you want it , you can even ask for help
0:52
from other people . That's fine . But essentially
0:54
I just want you diving deep into project work and actually
0:57
get this thing started . And then the second
0:59
rule is you have to
1:01
provide an update three times
1:03
per week , right ? So you actually
1:05
have to code something out and you
1:08
have to provide an update to the group three times
1:10
per week . So essentially , I think that
1:12
helps with accountability , helps
1:14
you stay on track , and
1:17
that's pretty much it . So it's gonna be part-time friendly . If
1:19
you have a full-time job , you wanna do this on the side
1:21
in the evenings , that's fine . The time doesn't
1:23
matter . All you have to do is update
1:25
three times per week . So if you're
1:27
interested in diving into mini hackathon we've hosted
1:30
previous ones in the past what
1:32
I tend to do at the end is , wherever
1:35
you are , I'll just
1:37
go live and I'll present some of the projects
1:39
. I'll get feedback . The goal of this
1:41
is to provide feedback
1:44
so that you can be more
1:46
marketable to employers
1:49
. So it stands out right . So
1:51
maybe I will provide recommendations
1:53
on what features I might change , what
1:55
features I might add , or kind of just
1:57
present some stuff that's actually gonna be impressive
2:00
to employers . So if you
2:02
are interested in that you feel like you're struggling to finally
2:04
dive into that project , you should consider joining . It
2:07
starts July 31st , at last
2:09
four weeks and I'm actually gonna include
2:11
instructions in probably the description
2:13
of the pen comment below . So just follow those
2:15
to join us . But we'd love to have you .
