Sequel to the article on how to get a mentor in tech, I received responses and queries about the many tech communities that one may join.
These are the few communities I've been able to collate.
1. Frontendmentor.io
Frontendmentor, otherwise known as FEM, is a website that has coding challenges you can practice with. These challenges range from the newbie to the guru level.
If you're a front-end developer, Frontendmentor has a slack channel of over 180, 000 community members. You can throw your issues or coding-related problems in the help channel, and members; including the founder Matt Studert, are ready to help as soon as they can.
2. Open Source Africa (OSCA)
Open Source Africa is a community-led by Africans with creative ideas. They are self-described as a community for open-source lovers, enthusiasts, advocates, and experts within and across Africa with the sole aim of increasing the rate of credible contributions by African software developers, designers, writers, and everyone involved in the sphere of technology to open source projects both locally and globally.
To learn more, visit their website or join their Discord server to become a part of the community.
3.SheCodeAfrica (SCA)
She Code Africa is a non-profit organization that empowers women across various fields of technology. With over 10, 000 community members, You will obtain aid and direction in your learning journey anytime you need it.
This is possible with the extensive Mentorship program and a large number of mentors on the community platform.
Google Developer Student Club (GDSC)
These are community groups for students across colleges and universities.
If you're a student in any undergraduate or graduate school and want to learn more about programming, find a club near you and join GDSC today!
