Day in the life of a self taught developer

Added create and update functionality to my car inventory app today.

Also found out the hard way that HTML forms don't support PUT or DELETE.

The browser will humble you.

Still moving!

Update on my Web Dev journey

Today:
I worked through SQL lessons on https://t.co/YD4RxCVjQ9 (my SQL skills are getting better)

I kicked off my inventory app project from @TheOdinProject -- folders structured, Express running, PostgreSQL connected

Still moving.

Spent today learning Express and EJS. Finished a project assignment and got it deployed.

Backend is actually kinda nice. Funny thing is, I touched backend once during a school project and it was hell. I probably just needed to actually know what I was doing lol.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

@sameekshadalvi7 Congratulations on finishing the project, it's really nice and intuitive.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

@obot_princ7790 Boss!

Another productive day.

Today i was able to add some styles to the site, staring at an unstyled shopping cart wasn't fun anymore 😅.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

Worked on my shopping cart project today

I spent 4 hours today writing some tests to make sure the main functionalities work. O boi a lot of thinking goes into writing tests, honestly.

Just happy, the main functionalities are almost done.

I have been shopping on @CDcareNG for a while now, and as a software developer I am really fascinated by how well the platform's designs comes together.

Luckily, my latest Odin project was to do just that. Design one!

And I have to say, it turned out great. What do you think?

Just finished another lesson at @TheOdinProject

Learnt about reducing states in React. Was confusing at first (not new to the feeling) but it made more sense when I tied the behavior to useState.

useReducer is just like using useState, but more organized and neat.

Started the Shopping cart project on @TheOdinProject

A chance to solidify all my newly found react skills, this is going to be intresting.

I thought I was already using CSS Modules

Just finished the Styling React lesson on #TheOdinProject and found out importing a regular CSS file is NOT CSS Modules.

The curriculum stays humbling.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

@DTechComedian True, bro.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

Slow day, still showed up.

Learnt data fetching in React using useEffect + useState.

Key pattern: if the parent fetches, don't let the child fetch too. Pass it down as props.

#TheOdinProject

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

@DTechComedian Thank you @DTechComedian.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

Completed the Fetching Data lesson today on #TheOdinProject

The fetching part? Got it. What I'm still working through: deciding which component should own the fetch. That's a judgment call. And judgment takes time.

[Uwaje Justice @justice_codes]

Seeing as I will soon be done with the frontend section on The Odin Project, my routine has to change.
