Finished building the digital business card project and I just feel meh. It’s because I really wanted to implement css-modules and component styling. I had to bargain with myself to just accept where I am at and keep going as I learn. Basically, the next projects I take on, I can use what I am currently learning but right now I have to keep working with the older stuff LOL. It’s frustrating but that’s reality. Work with what you have and think about how you can make improvements moving forward.
TLDR;
Okay, so here are the highlights of what I did:
- CSS -> Read part 2 of a series of articles on
css-modulesand how they work to help us build truly encapsulated styled components in React without styling inside JavaScript. - Practice -> Continued working on a 2022 React course. I finished working on the Digital business card solo project. It was okay. It’s a static page so I’m not going to go crazy trying to make it special. I could come back and add some animations later on. That would be really cool. I could see that as being exciting. Now the gears are turning LOL.
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.
