Going back and reviewing JavaScript basics has helped me with Webpack even if it’s only a tiny bit. I’m watching a tutorial on using Webpack and it’s dry. It’s useful but I fell asleep twice and had to stand up move while watching to stay focused. LOL. This is a process but it must be done. Webpack is really popular and the concept of a module bundler makes a lot of sense. It feels like I’m learning JavaScript DevOps more than anything else LOL.
TLDR;
Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:
- JavaScript -> Started watching my queue of Webpack tutorial videos on YouTube. So far I am learning a lot. I hope to not rely on the
create-react-apppackage as much in the future. I went without it before but due to my lack of knowledge I ran into issues with caching and janky config files. I hope this time I can be patient and get through the boring but essential stuff. Step by step!
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.
