I passed my Technical Project Walkthrough/General Technical mock interview! Two more to go tomorrow and I'll have completed the career track!!!

[52/100] Just writing some quick tests for the server, testing API endpoints, handling the error cases. I've been using Jest and Supertest. I think I like testing the front-end side of things more, it doesn't melt my brain as much.

[51/100] Just writing some tests using react-testing-library and Jest. VERY excited that all of the tests I've written so far have passed, with minimal adjustments. The more comfortable I get with testing, the more I love it.

I haven't given up on the 100 Days of Code Challenge, I have just been studying Data Structures and Algorithms, and I take notes by hand. Just a few mock interviews to go and I completed the software engineering career track!

[50/100] I got more logic figured out today than I have the entire time I have been working on this project. I just needed a bit of time away from it, things are falling into place.

[49/100] Cleaned up a lot of redundant code today, and went through and made sure I was consistent with my commenting. When I get in the zone, I assume I'll go back and add comments later, and I know how ridiculous that sounds.
#ReactJS #nodejs #Express #PostgreSQL

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[48/100] I've been working on styling my app with Tailwind CSS, taking a break from the mind-bending logic that I still have to write to get the search functionality working the way it is supposed to. Struggling passing information from component to component.

[47/100] Spent all day super confused. Why am I trying to fetch the Works page on the Work page that is already being rendered? Why do props confuse me so badly? What is even the deal with useContext( )? WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT OMG I'M GONNA CRY.

[46/100] After a super weird week, I am back to working on my final capstone. It took me a solid hour to read through my code and remember what I was doing. I have GOT to get better at commenting my code. At least I figured it out: progress!
#Express #ReactJS #nodejs

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[45/100] Refactored code today, sticking to the plan I outlined before I began has saved me a lot of time. I tend to get so excited to start a new project that I just jump right in and figure it out along the way, but planning really is the way to go.
#ReactJS #Express #nodejs

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[44/100] Worked on my final capstone for most of the day, things are rendering as they're supposed to, the routes seem pretty solid. Having a little trouble accessing the nested info during the external API calls, but I'll figure it out!
#Express #NodeJS #ReactJS

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[43/100] Spent the day sorting out the routing and external API calls for my final capstone project. I've spent most of the last week and a half coding, I just forgot that I was doing the 100 days of code challenge.
#express #Nodejs

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[42/100] Spent today playing around with Express and Node, trying to figure out the best plan of attack for my final capstone project. The more I play around with these technologies, the cooler they get!
#Express #NodeJS

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[41/100] I am taking today to explore personal interests, and I have been playing with Material UI. I LOVE the docs for MUI, probably the best docs of any technology I've used so far, makes the process of learning sooo much more enjoyable!

[40/100] Finished up the last of the DSA modules! Two more modules and a second capstone project and I am FINISHED with the software engineering career track. I am so excited!!

[39/100] Finished up the DSA modules on binary search trees and graphs today! I now only have 12% LEFT to do of the curriculum!!! The end is near!
#datastructures #algorithms

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[38/100] I FINALLY got my first capstone project deployed (SO STOKED), and I am planning out my second capstone project. During the planning stage, I found out about Material Design Bootstrap and I am SUPER excited to use it!!

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[37/100] No code to show again, just working through the rest of these DSA modules. At first glance, it looks like Trees & Binary Trees will bring more order to the code I write. Here's hoping!

#datastructures #algorithms

[Make_it_breaux @MakeItBreaux]

[36/100] Still working through DSA, made it to recursion today. I can't tell if I'm more confused with this concept than the other abstract data types, or if it makes sense and will help me clean up code I've already written.
