Internship Week 1
Week 1 (16/09/2024 - 21/09/2024)
🌟 Introduction
Hi! My name is Chimi Gyeltshen, and I am currently working as a Software Developer at iBEST Institute with the iBEST Technologies team from 16/09/2024 to 28/02/2025.
Under the guidance of the Director of Technology, I have been tasked with assisting my friend Yonten, who is developing a prototype for iBEST Institute.
🚀 Highlights
Added two new pages: Contact Us and About Us.
Implemented scroll animations on the home page.
Read Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas H. Cormen.
Improved the Figma design and consulted with the Director three times.
📚 Learning Experience
Mastered vertical and horizontal animations in Figma.
Learned a new algorithm: the Divide and Conquer Algorithm.
Familiarized myself with the open-source library TanStack Query (formerly known as React Query) for efficient data fetching and state management.
Understood how to use queries and mutations in a React application. You can view the project here: GitHub Repository.
💡 Industry Insights
After starting my internship, I realized that being a software developer involves mastering multiple languages and frameworks. At iBEST, the backend is built with Go, while the frontend utilizes React and Flutter for state management.
⚠️ Challenges
Understanding how frames and components work when creating animations in Figma.
Finding the right UI design for reference.
Grasping and implementing queries and mutations in React.
🎯 Next Week’s Plan
Improve the UI components and give the prototype a formal look.
Continue reading and deepening my understanding of Introduction to Algorithms.
Looking forward to next week’s progress and further insights into full-stack development! 💻🚀
