Twenty-nineth week! (20/7/20 - 24/7/20)/Principles of Coding Training 1

This week was a rather short working week as I had training on Thursday and Friday.

On Monday, our G-Cloud 12 submission was sent off! No more G-Cloud! It feels like I've been working on it forever honestly. Our services are going live in September after they review our application.

As Nikki requested, I made some updates to the e-Learning parts of the collateral. We now have 2 pages, one for Bespoke and one for Off-the-shelf content. I have also been conversing with Nikki and Aaron about coming up with an e-Learning marketing campaign, we're having a meeting next week to talk this through.

I've been helping Simon with some Pipeline data, I put it into a word document then transferred it into a pretty PowerPoint presentation.

Tiffany also suggested that I create a new Mailchimp account to just use for our weekly videos, as people have been unsubscribing because they don't want to see them. This also means that people wouldn't receive release notes! Making a separate account for marketing makes sense now. Simon made the update video this week. I had to redesign the template because I couldn't transfer it from the old account, and now I can't schedule emails in advance! I'm going to have to wake up at 8am to schedule the emails on Friday.

Lewis has suggested that we post on social media about one of our colleagues Scott when he is working whilst travelling. We're coming up with ideas for posts at the moment.

Newsletter 2 is coming along nicely... I designed a nice golden looking congratulations to Poole who has won 12 months free Job Planning from the last competition. We're sending it out on the 3rd of August, the first working day of the month.

This week we were also told our Citizenship Project has been cancelled due to Covid-19.

On Thursday and Friday, I had the first part of my Principles of Coding training.

 During these 2 days we covered: The History of the Internet, Hosting, Web Servers, SEO, File Formats, Web Indexing and Crawlers, Cookies and Building Websites.

Although coding isn't a major part of my job role, knowing about how websites are made is useful when making changes to our own website and working with SEO. Learning about web indexing and crawling is also useful when it comes to SEO as well, in regard to what information from our website shows up on search engines.

I have been completing the HTML5 course on Codeacademy and saving the badges to put into my report as well.
