Today’s post, not sure whether or not it’ll be long or short, is going to quickly summarize my weekend, starting from Friday. But to make things a bit easier on myself, I have a log that I’ve been keeping within my project folder that I use to keep track of bugs and progress. ### Day […]

I’m pretty sure I made a slight breakthrough yesterday with my understanding of CSS. I was dragging my feet a bit on implementing my photo feed and photo details portion, but once I got into it, I was seriously rolling. I set up my models, controllers, actions, reducers all with little hiccups. I did have […]

Gonna make this quick I hope. Yesterday was committed to finishing up front-end styling. It was a struggle because I didn’t get much on hand practice with CSS during the projects due to worrying about assessments. During the second half of yesterday, things really started to piece together. I started grasping CSS concepts and develop […]

Hey guys! I’m gonna make it quick since I really want to dive right back into my full-stack project (FSP). As I said yesterday, I passed the final assessment with a perfect score, so that’s a LOAD off my back. It’s an absolute relief to not have assessments weighing on my shoulders anymore. I’m going […]

What’s gooooood guys?! I’m in a good mood today. Today, Tuesday, marks the transition between the curriculum phase of App Academy and the Full-Stack Project phase. That said, today was also the day of the LAST assessment that covers React-Redux, and I aced it! I was hoping I would, given that I was down to […]

I got Instagram! I’m pretty excited about being able to work on Instagram. It was definitely in my top 3, but it’s also one of the apps I use the most. We need to submit our full stack project proposals by Monday and there was some pretty intensive components that go into the proposal, of […]

Gotta make this quick! Yesterday was all about finishing up our Pokedex project, with a slight twist. We had to take what we had built the day before, and apply the React Routes concept we learned from the day prior. If you need a comparison, React Routes is very much akin to setting up routes […]

I really liked yesterday’s project haha. It really appealed to my inner childhood. Using what we learned thus far, we built a full stack app that served as a Pokedex, completely seeded with majority of the first gen Pokemon. There’s not that much to talk about from yesterday. Thankfully, there wasn’t much struggling, which means […]

Yesterday was the first day we got to take everything we learned since the start of the program, and put it all together into a full stack todo app. Exciting stuff! We utilized the concept of middleware to connect the front-end React-Redux cycle with the Ruby on Rails back-end so that we can access information […]

What’s good guys? Yesterday was pretty dam awesome. We worked on building a todo app just based off of the front-end technologies, React and Redux. We got pretty far and I definitely learned a lot. I’m starting the realize that the homework, readings and videos should mostly be skimmed just to get a general and […]
