About three weeks ago I finished a group project building a medical provider finder for Dallas.https://t.co/6ws1wdfYBI

We also made a walkthrough video. https://t.co/9ySn2z2aRK

What do you think?

Day 26. I’ve spent most of the day freeing up disk space on my laptop. It was working very slowly so, for example, I’m currently deleting all emails received or sent before 2015. Fun times. Yesterday I discovered that Area 51 and Roswell are not the same place#30daysofnetworking

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day twenty. Making progress converting my app to native from web. I learned that apparently you have to copy your images over when you create a new project. Good to know🤣 Sometimes focusing on the big things can make you forget the little things. #30daysofnetworking #100devs

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day nineteen. Today has been about getting my fat head around typescript. But now that I’m learning more about it, I’m starting to understand its full error stopping potential.#30daysofnetworking #100devs

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day eighteen. Today I’ve been deep in the docs of expo and nativewind. Went back to basics and hopefully have figured out the set up issues I’ve been having. Watch this space. One day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day twelve. Worked on a couple of more codewars. Also started creating a mobile version of my road trip app with react native. One day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresql

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day eleven. Practiced more DSA. Had to review a little regex. Used MDN and w3 schools for reference. Then asked chat jippity to explain in detail what the regex of another solution was doing. One day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresql

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day ten. Practiced a little DSA. It’s been a minute since the last time so I was a little rusty, but got there in the end. Adding to hitlist https://t.co/MuZzhJNKjE day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresql

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day six. Began exploring Cursor after listening to The Programming Podcast by Leon Noel and Danny Thompson. Used it to maximize my app performance. Finally finished season two of Andor. Very good. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresq

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day five. Worked in improving app performance. Unfortunately I’m behind on my hitlisting. One day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresql

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Day one. Today I sent follow up emails to five people at a company I’ve applied to. I also worked on refactoring my baseball app. One day at a time. #30daysofnetworking #100devs #java #javascript #react #postgresql

Hyped To Share @DThompsonDev and I started

"The Programming Podcast"

I've wanted a space to talk coding, careers, bring on guests, and go deep on technical topics in an approachable way. Now I'm blessed to partner with my brother each each week to make it happen!

Ep. 001 ⤵️

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

Today I attended a live virtual talk on networking online. Tonight I’m continuing to work on improving my baseball app styling. Yesterday somehow several key components got erased so that was fun. Version control to the rescue! Thank goodness for GitHub! @LeahTCodes @leonnoel

@JustinMemphis42 @amit_ajwani @rohukrs The main problem was being updated on the status of the app and getting in front of people who can actually move the needle. Persistence and keeping on top of them is key.

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

@JustinMemphis42 @amit_ajwani @rohukrs I've just been through something similar with social security, so I might have some ideas. I'll get back to you

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

My new business cards came, now including a QR code, so I’m sharing that I am open to freelance software development work. If you could ask anyone you know who might need a website or any help with an existing site,believe it or not, I actually do know what I am doing with this.

[Richard Whittington @RichardWhitDev]

@LoriTurner Hi Lori, I'm name is Richard and I’m looking to connect with other Memphis professionals. As a marketing professional turned software developer I would love a quick, five minute virtual coffee chat? Just name a day and time. Have a great rest of your week!
