Day 92

23. SmartBrain App - FrontEnd

I'll try to work on the app today (the plan is to complete it by Friday). The only challenge could be power (I sincerely hope the rainfall won't affect power supply in my area today).

Startng Node JS (MongoDb) course is going far better than I expected. This MongoDb stuff looks easy and straight to the point. I just need to keep my morale and newly found zeal at optimum level

Day 91

23. SmartBrain App - Frontend

I'm gonna be on this section for the whole of this week.

The backend section of the startng project is also progressing well. We were introduced to MongoDB today and it looks cool. I'll most likely start another 30days of React challenge (Immersive course) hosted by Asabeneh and it should be a walk in the park for me. This quarantine/lockdown period must be fully utilized. No excuse at all.

Day 90

23. Smart Brain App - Frontend

Whew, its 90days already. How time flies. I'm still on course with regards to the ZTM course. The startng course is progressing well also.

NodeJs requires some level of patience and practice to nail it down. I'll scale through.

Day 89

23. Smart Brain App - Front end

I tried implementing the interactive background in the app and it was successful. That was the high point of today's coding activity. More work will be done progressively

Day 87 & 88

23. SmartBrain App - Frondend

I started work on the frontend section of the SmartBrain Project. It has been a awesome journey so far and the date of completion still looks feasible.

The startng program is also going well. Covid-19 is still moving mad. Hoping for a permanent solution soonest.

Day 86

22. APIs

Completed APIs today. I'll be moving to the next section tomorrow.

I also completed and submitted the nodejs task on startng. That node stuff looked daunting at first but I'll overcome it.

Day 85

22. APIs

Started API (officially) today. Application Programming Interface is a cool topic and I've had numerous encounters with it. This is just a revision of what I've known before hand.

The NodeJs progress has been encouraging as well. I started part of the assignment today and I should complete it by tomorrow hopefully.

Day 84

21. Backend Basics

I completed this section today. Moving over to the next stage by tomorrow. This backend stuff is an uncharted territory for me and I'll spend quite some time dwelling on it. My June target is still realistic and I'm working seriously towards it.

Day 83

21. Backend Basics

An overview of Backend, tools and other cogent point. There is just a video in this module and I watched it today.

I did the certificate test for the 30days of Javascript challenge today and it served as a refresher for some of the things I learnt during the project.

The Startng program (Frontend and Backend) is also going well. I'm yet to fully begin the NodeJs course. I'll revisit the video tonight/early morning tomorrow and try to work on the assignment given.

Day 82

20. HTTPS/JSON/AJAX + Asynchronous Javascript

I'm finally wrapping up this section today and progressing to the next stage. The last few days have been discouraging and de-motivating in all honesty but I just have to keep moving on. Quitters never win (Don't forget that).

Day 80 & 81

20. HTTP/JSON

Corona tinz. Just revision of the topic above. The startng program has finally kicked off and I submitted my first assignment yesterday (the task is about getting familiar with github)

Day 79

20. HTTP/JSON/AJAX

I did a brief overview/revision on this topic today and also started the startng project fully. I made a fresh git commit today after a 'long' break. I've been discouraged and unmotivated of recent. I need to focus on the end goal and persevere. All is Well

Day 78

20. HTTP/JSON/AJAX + Asynchronous Javascript

I temporarily left React and moved to the next section. I'll be revisiting it from time to time bcos I'll still use it heavily in the final project. This will just be a revision due to the fact that I've completed the lessons here while on the react section.

I'll proceed to the next section by next week.

Day 77

19. React.js

Contrary to my plans, my laptop decided to give up on me. There was an issue during the formatting process and I didn't leave with my tools to open it. No code day has been extended.

Day 76

19. React.js + Redux

No code day!!! My laptop didn't co-operate with me today. Hanging and non-responsive for extended periods. I have to do something about it (maybe its high time I installed Windows 10)

Day 75

19. React.js + Redux

Still on still. Today was completely out with respect to coding. Weekend syndrome. We move

Day 74

19. React.js + Redux

I couldn't do much today. I'm having fever symptoms. I hope to do something tangible tomorrow.

Day 73

19. React.js + Redux

I've made substantial progress with regards to understanding React as a whole and how the various components are inter-related. I will proceed to the next section by Monday. The seemingly long time I spent on this section is worth it and it is a huge boost considering that this was where I stopped at my first attempt with the course.

Day 72

19. React.js + Redux

Still on course with respect to my plan. PHCN interrupted my flow but no lele.

Day 71

19. React.js + Redux

I finally resumed learning. Started with some reading and started the robofriends app from the scratch. I was able to create the cardlist myself and did some styling as well. I'm having a bit of challenge with regards to functionality of the searchbox.

Slowly but surely I will complete this section this week.

Day 70

19. React.js + Redux

I implemented the animated counter on the zadok gym website. It is quite simple (a recursive function and setTimeout function). This is a significant work based on my recent drought and it has provided the needed boost at this time.

Start.ng program also commenced officially yesterday and this week will be dedicated to onboarding and getting familiar with the necessary tools

Day 69

19. React.js + Redux

No significant progress from the previous stage. I've been stuck for about five days now. Oluwa wetin dey React!!!

Day 68

19. React.js + Redux

Still in slow mode. Important and distracting activities left right and center. It is well with my soul (Not having a "project" to work on is also contributing to the dry spell I'm experiencing now). It is well with my soul

Day 67

19. React.js + Redux

Plenty distraction lately. My progress has been somewhat stalled for this week. Nevertheless, I'll keep pushing. It's too late to quit

Day 66

19. React.js + Redux

I've not done much coding/studying for about 2 straight days due to a number of cogent reasons. I'll still dedicate next week to it.

Day 65

19. React.js + Redux

More and more react. I'm playing around with implementing API calls in various forms in react. I'll practice with diverse exercises to nail the basics and help in understanding the fundamental concepts.

Day 64

19. React.js + Redux

I'm making little little progress in this section. It is a wide topic and I need to patiently navigate through it to become grounded. I've decided to extend the learning period by an additional week.

NB: I've completed lessons 20, 21 and 22. I'm only dwelling on React because it is important I understand it adequately. My first attempt at this course last year stopped abruptly when I got to the react section and I don't want a repeat of that this time around.

Day 63

19. React.js + Redux

Although I've gone through all the React videos and skipped the Redux section (based on the recommendation given by Andrei), I'm still trying to watch more videos, solve more problems and read more on React. I still have some tight knots to sort out before proceeding to the next sections

Day 62

19. React.js + Redux

Still on react matter. No giving up.

Day 61

19. React.js + Redux

Its the third month of the year already. I'm here for the long haul, taking things calm and easy with React. Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well. The results will speak in the end
