Summarising Hashnode Bootcamp

Finally, the three-day long Bootcamp ended with great learnings and buzz. These three days pushed me to explore and learn more about technologies and their technicalities. To learn, research and write about different tools for developers and commoners in the market.

This blog is less of a summary and more of a conclusion, compiled with learnings derived from 5 speakers of the boot camp over three days.

Sharing content with the public makes your image and profile among people with your work. You can be approached once you come in the eyes of recruiters, connect with different talents, and enhance your experience and network.
