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 .
