MY WORK DEVELOPED DURING C PISCINE AT 42 URDULIZ
This is my coding work developed during my Piscine experience at 42Urduliz School, from 07/Jun/21 to 02/Jul/21.
42 is a private, nonprofit and tuition-free computer programming school that proposes a new
way of learning: no teachers, no books, students learning one from others (peer to peer learning),
with a methodology that develops both computing and life skills.
The "C Piscine" is a 26-day C programming bootcamp, and the last stage in the selection process
for becoming a 42's student.
# C Language
The primary language learned at the 42's Piscine is C: dealing with variables,
pointers, memory allocation, macros, as well as creating functions and programs,
including the use and creation of libraries and Makefiles.
# Shell
The first two days are dedicated to learning basic to intermediate
shell commands to seamlessly navigate through the terminal.
# Git
All projects are submitted via a remote git repository, which demands students to
be at ease with such a system.
# Self-learning and proactiveness
At 42, self-learning is at the core of its peer to peer learning methodology. There
are no teachers; the learning process is based on googling, enquiring
your classmates, and empirical knowledge, each student learning at their own pace.
# Teamwork
On weekends, a 48h team project called "Rush" is proposed: a 3-member group randomly
chosen by the school's system must collaboratively develop a fully running application.
The major challenge here is to equalize the different knowledge levels while finding a
common work methodology that allows all team members to contribute to the project.
# Time management and resiliency
The "pisciners" are free to work whenever they want, which demands excellent
time management skills and resiliency for not "drowning" amid the massive load
of work demanded by the non-stop 26-day program.
The table below show the projects that I have carried out during my C Piscine in chronological order.
