Day 57: React 18 Changes and Concurrency

I spent some time reading up on the changes that came with React 18. A big emphasis throughout the docs page was the new concurrent capabilities that React 18 has. This got me thinking how much more work I need to do. I haven’t experience the need for concurrency as much as it seems like it’s stated. That tells me that I haven’t built enough complex projects that would warrant these concerns. I need to put in more reps. This was a great eye opener for how much further I have to go.

TLDR;

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

  • JavaScript -> Read through the React Docs on React 18. It was eye-opening and highlights how much further I have to go.
  • Practice -> Continued working on the AirBnB Experiences project from the React tutorial course. The tutorial spent a lot of time explaining how to use .map() method to iterate through data to construct repeated components. It’s alright, just a little tame. I am just waiting for the complext stuff to come. I mean I’m at 4 / 11 hours of content. Hopefully things ramp up 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.
