I finished going through my queue of YouTube videos on Babel. Overall, I think I better understand the package’s purpose, benefits, and usage. I have one pressing question on my mind. How can I adjust the Babel transpiler in “create-react-app” which I have used for a lot of my simple React based projects. I know a bit but I still don’t know enough to be dangerous. This is why I want to spend time learning the key JavaScript packages used in the industry today. Know how they are combined will help improve my comfort working on modern projects with bigger teams.

TLDR;

Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:

• JavaScript -> Finished watching the rest of the Babel tutorial videos I found on YouTube. Starting learning about Webpack. Once I get through my Webpack playlist and do an initial read through of their docs I will be ready to move forward and deep dive into React again by reading some books. I am excited for the level there as well.

Goal For Round 7 of the #100DaysofCode Challenge

This is my seventh round of the “#100daysofcode” challenge. I will be continuing my work from round five and round six into round seven. I am currently working through the book “Cracking the Coding Interview” by Gayle Laakmann McDowell. My goal is to become more familiar with algorithms and data structures. This goal was derived from my goal to better understand operating systems and key programs that I use in the terminal regularly e.g. Git. This goal was in turn derived from my desire to better understand the fundamental tools used for coding outside of popular GUIs. This in turn was derived from my desire to be a better back-end developer.

I have no idea if my path is correct but I am walking down this road anyways. Worst case scenario I learn a whole bunch of stuff that will help me out on my own personal projects.
