It’s all coming together and you don’t understand how happy I am about this! I have been uncomfortable with all the knowledge gaps I have but slowly I’m filling them in. create-react-app is a super popular package used to build small to medium sized react projects. I have used it many times but I never really understood how it worked under the hood. After learning more about Webpack I am finally pealing the onion back and learning how things work.

TLDR;

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

• JavaScript -> Finished watching the videos in my queue of Webpack tutorial videos on YouTube. I also read a great article on how the create-react-app package works under the hood. It cleared so much up for me. Now it’s time to dive back into React with some books and docs. I wonder how much more I will understand now that I have covered so much more background info I didn’t know before.

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.
