Continued reading through the “Advanced Topics” sections in the React Docs. Honestly picking up a lot of gems. I am no master by any means but I’m getting exposed to better ways of doing things. The plan is that once I get through these topics I’ll review some of my older projects and start looking to build some new ones and test what I have learned.
TLDR;
Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:
- JavaScript -> Read through multiple pages from the React docs. The page on error boundaries was the most useful so far. I written errors before that caused my React App to only show a blank screen. Setting up error boundaries would help limit that to only sections of a page rather than an entire page.
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.
