Hack Reactor Student Blogs

I have gathered up a selection of Hack Reactor student blogs and personal websites. You may be curious as to what past students have experienced, or what other students have built with their newly acquired web engineer skills. Enjoy browsing!

    Hey, Kevin! I think CJ or Nathan can probably get you a master list at least for my cohort. At the very least, I can tell you a couple from my class:

    Oh, and to me I’ve always thought of myself as in the April ’13 cohort since that’s when I graduated! It was a cool talk at the ML group a few days ago :)

    Thanks for the links Mark. I missed the ML group the other day because I was wrapped up in the Backbone blackjack project. I would love to talk to you about your Robo Duel game sometime.

    Hi Kevin do you think I have to learn Node before applying to hack reactor? I come from a non-programming background. So far all I’ve done is build a simple quiz app with Backbone and RequireJs, jquery, javascript, html, css. Would they hold it against me if I barely know the command line? Since they choose the best candidates, I’m afraid that might put me at a disadvantage. So do you think I should learn Node or just brush up on my javascript concepts? Did most of the people in your cohort have experience with node/command line/backend stuff? Thank you in advance!
