🔰 Onboarding Plans for Beginners 🔰

A step-by-step onboarding plans and related materials for beginners.

Check out my GitHub and say "hi" on Twitter. 👋

Purpose of these Onboarding Plans

Suppose a new team member joins the company. This person used a different programming language in his previous company, so needs to learn a new programming language that fits company's technology stack. 🤔

I think we should write an onboarding plan for this member to work with us. Let's share various scenarios with collective intelligence to help many people. 🤗

Note to Beginners

Don't feel overwhelmed! Also, always ask questions if you don't know anything! It's your first time learning. 😀

If you think that these can be improved in any way, please do suggest.
