When I first came across #middleware in the context of #Redux async thunks I didn't really get what it was. Happy to have revisited middleware when learning #Express - I now understand them better!

Doing some practice with express tonight! The lesson has a simple front end configured to help test the code - it’s interesting going back to see vanilla JavaScript when I’ve got so used to seeing React!

Trying to remember that even just 15 mins of coding is better than no coding. Made progress with the @Codecademy Quote API backend project this evening!

[Lizzie (she/her) @Lizzie_Codes]

I find it hard to debug without using console.log (the current setup of the practice exercise I'm doing doesn't allow for it).
However I resisted the urge to look at the answer and figured it out myself - satisfying!

Learning more about Express tonight - it's slow thanks to forgetting some stuff over Christmas, but slow progress is still progress!

Practising with Postman tonight - I'm enjoying learning this as we use it at work, so it will definitely come in useful!

[Lizzie (she/her) @Lizzie_Codes]

I've been doing some practice exercises to get used to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE requests. Next step is to download Postman and get familiar with that!

Back in May I learnt how to embed my twitter timeline onto my website, and it was working fine. Now I'm just getting this instead. Seems to be a known issue (or it was a year ago) but I'm unable to find a fix.
Can anyone help?

I spent ages deciding on the format of the Contacts page on my portfolio. But now I've come back to it I've noticed it's a bit pointless - the page is very empty, and all the info on there is in the footer anyway. So I'm removing it - oh well!

[Lizzie (she/her) @Lizzie_Codes]

I've written up all the info on my projects to include in my new portfolio. Now there are a few final tweaks needed, then just adjusting the CSS to make it responsive.

This morning I've refactored a BackButton component I created to make it easier to reuse across my website. Thanks props!
