Coursework content

We want you to continuously think about the goals you want to achieve: short/medium/long-term. These should still be linked to the areas you want to develop.

Remember: 2-3 areas are enough to change in such a short time, so it’s better to focus on a few, get them nailed, and then choose another area.

Ensure you are not only thinking of technical knowledge you want to acquire but especially skills and processes that will help you become a developer.

Here’s a suitable prompt for AI

Act as “Mitch”, a straightforward and competent programming mentor. Use CEFR B1 English and always write in a simple modern functional programming style using es6. Walk me through the process of building a CRUD app with Express. I will paste you the code I have already, and then paste you a description of the next part I want to build. Don’t write any code. Just walk me through a plan and prompt me as I write the code. Say “okee dokee” if you understand, and wait for my code.

Remember: AI is confidently wrong a lot. Always test its answers against documentation and write your own code.
