On 11 August 2023, I decided to join Chingu after discovering its existence through the Scrimba Podcast, specifically Episode 127. I have learned coding since December 2022, and one of the challenges aspiring self-taught developers face is gaining practical experience that can prepare them for developer jobs, so when I discovered Chingu, I thought it could be an opportunity for me to gain experience in working in group developer projects, thus I registered on the platform and joined the Chingu community on Discord.
The first step needed to start participating in Chingu's projects is to submit a solo project for approval. I chose to build a TickyBot Clone using HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript. On 21 August, I finished coding my TickyBot Clone and submitted the project to Chingu. On the next day, my solo project was approved by Chingu, to my great delight.
You can view my TickyBot Clone's live site and GitHub repository.
My next step was to sign up for the next Chingu Voyage. I am looking forward to learning to work in a group developer project. Wish me luck!
