Overheard in Chingu

I got a job today! we’ve started on the layout and my teammate did a awesome job! I wasn’t entirely hopeless this week. I learned testing better (weak area that I truly wish I could get past once and for all! :) Became proficient with Zenhub! Deployed our first version of the app First time I built the full stack successfully scheduled a meeting, built trello boards for our team project Schedule a meeting, discuss their project, and laid out tasks for us to do this week Created a prototype of our redesigned website we made each scheduled meeting and are way ahead of our timeline we had on meeting on zoom Completed half of freeCodeCamp’s Basic Algorithm Scripting module We agreed on the mvp and on the framework to be used. Teammate helped me learn git in a group setting, personally learning React for the project. I finished a basic php tutorial! Researched various APIs and how to use them. Scheduled a meeting Completed a portion of the landing page clone Was able to create the React front-end from scratch with a customized webpack configuration for the first time. Previously, I had always relied on create-react-app, Next.js or Gatsby. We’ve had meeting to decide what to create and I finished making search bar section(it can choose search engine to search) Scheduled a meeting Scheduled and completed meeting last week scheduled a meeting Nothing special yet. first in person meeting I have really learned a lot about Material Design and my designs have really improved. completed milestone on time had several great meetings and I’m so happy about the team idea Had multiple discussion around the theme of the app; features identified for MVP & designing mockup meeting with partner We finish our project (base design), so now we think how to improve it. scheduled meeting to share git/github knowledge scheduled a meeting, started coding the UI mock up, finished two of the app components I finished a tutorial about graphql that we were supposed to use for the backend, but the team decided to use REST backend instead days ago. I’ve also been learning advanced stuff with vanilla JS.
