I'm back!
Admittedly, I fell off the blogging bandwagon for awhile. However, I'm ready to get back on and keep sharing my learning process.
Since I last posted, I've finished both the MongoDB course and the Git a Web Dev Job course.
The Mongo course was a bit rough for the final - I felt like there should have been more actual writing in Node, as it was a Mongo for Node developers course. There was a lot of guessing and trial and error involved with getting the final into working order. I passed it though! And it was definitely some good introduction into working with MongoDB. I have another course I'm signed up for that I'll get into a bit down the road, which will hopefully gain me some more understanding of how to use it.
The Web Dev course was very good! I really gained a lot from walking through the entire process of setting up a web page, at least design wise. I've been able to go back to it and try to apply some of the features we made to my own personal projects as well. I haven't been 100% successful with that, but it's still an excellent resource and a course I very much enjoyed.
Lately, I've been focusing on getting my portfolio redesign finished, and starting the Grow with Google / Udacity scholarship program! My portfolio styling was just finished today - there's a lot more I want to do with JavaScript to really add some nice functionality to it, but I've been struggling on getting things to actually apply to my page, and it was starting to derail me from working on my courses and moving forward on other things. So I've got the HTML and CSS as set as I can, and it's now live! You can view that page here!
So now, I'm going to be working on getting back on track with the Google / Udacity Mobile Web specialty course. Our first week, we learned about service workers, which was a nice introduction into that. I've heard about them for awhile now, but this was my first experience actually learning how to register one and start being able to move a project more offline. The next week I'll be starting now is learning about IndexedDB and caching our page's information! Then it'll be all about learning JavaScript's ES6 syntax and applying that, which I'll be covering partially through the Mobile Web course and partially through Wes Bos' ES6 course. Pretty excited for that!
So that's where I'm at now. My goal is to write at least once a week, likely on weekends, to share a summary of what I've learned that week, what I'm struggling with, what I've been successful with or found interesting, and where I'm going next. Until my next post - keep learning!
