Ever stared at the UNSW Handbook for hours 🤔 trying to figure out what subjects you need to take? Ever wished that there was a simple and even aesthetic ✨ way of planning your degree?
That’s exactly what Hayes, James and Vincent thought when they decided to create ✨Circles✨, the People’s Choice winner of the 2020 CSESoc Personal Projects Competition! Arsham and Sunny pick their brains on all the ups and downs of developing a winning 🏆 webapp, including:
✅ How to learn a React library that DOESN’T have any Youtube tutorials or articles, 👩🏫
✅ What to do when UNSW changes their website completely 😤 halfway through the project, and
✅ What motivated them to work on the project every night 💪
If you’re interested in entering the Personal Projects Competition this year, the competition is still open and ends September 12th! Check out more information and sign up here: https://bit.ly/CSESocPersonalProjects2021
