Day 83: TDD Review in JavaScript

Continued through The Odin Project Full Stack curriculum. I want to get to the Node.js section faster so I am skipping some of the projects. I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. I am still reading through the material and starting some rough notes though. Tbh I am feeling restless to build some more difficult projects with popular tools. This may just be for today and I will come down soon. Either way there is nothing wrong with jumping around a bit. I have to review again next year anyways.

TLDR;

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

  • JavaScript -> Read through some articles on async/await and Test Driven Development (TDD). Nothing special so far but there is a TDD practice project that I want to complete to confirm I am comfortable with the material. It involves using Jest.


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.
