Personal Project Showcase w/ Alli Murray

Ever started a massive project only to get stuck, feel
intimidated and give up? Can you develop your skills with
smaller, less complicated projects instead?


In this Personal Projects Showcase, Angeni and Julian talk to
2018 CSESoc Co-Pres, ex-Google intern and current Canva graduate
Alli Murray. She tells us:


Why smaller projects can be more useful than ambitious ones

How she uses projects to learn new programming languages and
technology 

The difference between internship projects and personal
projects

Why her favourite personal project was a Perl program??
