Day 81: Manually Rendering IS NOT Fun

May 24, 2022

Finished the restaurant page project. I didn’t do the final bit adding the menu items in JavaScript. It’s a really annoying task constructing HTML in JavaScript. I now really appreciate React so much more. JSX is great. Give me all the syntactic sugar LOL. Anyways now I can move on. Almost at the backend material in The Odin Project curriculum. I just have to keep trucking. I’m learning a few things but it’s mainly about the forced practice. It’s easier following a curriculum than pursuing my own projects all the time. I just want reps.

TLDR;

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

  • JavaScript -> Reviewed the HTML element methods for removing elements from the DOM.
  • Practice -> Finished working on the Restaurant Page project. It really is an MVP. The further I get in the curriculum, the less I care about styling my projects. I don’t plan on using most of these as additions for my portfolio just because they are too simple in most cases. I also want to keep pushing through the material since I can always come back and refine them later. Once I finish this curriculum I can get back to algorithms and data structures feeling confident in my 2022 review efforts. Here is the repo

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.
