Developers In Vogue

Being part of Developers in Vogue is a great opportunity for me as a young African woman who is interested in technology. I got the chance to learn JavaScript and then worked with a pair programmer to build an app called iTraffic. iTraffic is a Web Application... Read More that Controls traffic.
This was my first time working on a project with a partner. Though not easy, we pulled through, and even received an award for our project.
Developers in Vogue is a sisterhood where we code, connect, collaborate!
Developers in Vogue encourages you to update your LinkedIn account every week and this helps so much because people get to see the amazing things we are up to.
They also gave me the opportunity to partake in the 2018 Hacklab, one of the biggest hackathons in Ghana. By being part of Developers in Vogue, I get to attend most of the tech meetups and events. Did I forget to say no one is left behind?
I will recommend this life-changing bootcamp to other girls because there are so many opportunities that will help them sharpen their skills to be amazing women in tech.

Code, connect, collaborate! As our mantra boldly says, truly was and still is the the experience I'm having being apart of the Developers in Vogue community.
Developers in Vogue is an initiative that teaches girls how to code. It's vision is to bridge... Read More the gender gap in the fields of STEM. Developers in Vogue or DIV for short has a lot of initiatives that developed us not only to be developers but also to become leaders in our communities.Two of these initiatives that personally have helped me is the pair programming and the post boot camp support.
At DIV everyone is given a pair programmer, someone to work on a project with. Though that was all they told us it was, I saw that there was a lot more to it.
Having a pair means you don't work alone. You are now a part of a team, you have to learn to collaborate, learn to respect someone's views, learn to take criticism and most importantly learn how to delegate. Sometimes you would have to be the leader or the subordinate, either ways you will have to adjust to fit in system. All these qualities are essential to one's success in the workplace and DIV found a way to instill them in us.
The post boot camp support is one of the things that makes DIV stand out amongst other coding teaching communities. At DIV during your boot camp you're taught how to write a professional CV and also how to get the most out of your LinkedIn so by the time you're done you'll be a ready for the job market. And after the boot camp you're assisted in getting a full/part time job or an internship in a tech company.
Becoming a developer in vogue to me is one of the best decision I've ever made. After the boot camp a couple of the girls and I went on to participate in a hackathon with an idea I had been thinking of for sometime and because of the good foundation we had at our boot camp we excelled and came in first place. We are now working hard to establish our company,Trashy Cash.
I will give Developers in Vogue a 5 star rating and encourage every lady out there that wants to be a part of the tech revolution going on in our continent to join the DIV team. Take a chance on them and you will not regret it.
