I started learning how to work with pure Node webserver (without Express or any other packages) The best way to solidify the learning is to build something with the knowledge. However, with the limited scope of the lesson, I couldn’t find a project to build.
I’m playing Fruit Ninja these days. After every round, it shows interesting fruit facts. I got an idea to make an API that will display random fruit facts in JSON format. This way I can put my knowledge to use while building something fun.
So last week I put together a reddit like site, a clone of reddit as you can say. This is my first MERN stack application I am putting out to the world. I pretty much did a rush work and cut a lot of corners, just to get it out there and see how it goes.
Last week I ran into a real world problem.
It’s hard to keep track of my washed and dirty clothes. I have no idea how long it’s been since last wash. So I needed to track them by making a list and counting the dates.
The first idea is obviously writing them down on paper, but then I thought why not use my JavaScript skills to build an app to track it?
It’s time I look back at one of my very first JavaScript work and roast it.
It was 2014, I had recently finished JavaScript and JQuery lessons from Codecademy. It was about time I build something with my knowledge.
At that time I didn’t know what actually JQuery was. I thought it’s another language like JS. Now I know well that, JQuery is a library which goes on top of JavaScript. It makes writing code a little bit easier.
An overview of what I am going to build:
Steve Jobs and his first iPhone changed everything. We were introduced to a new era. After the launch, every other phones were just a copy of the iphone. But I am not here to talk about the technological revolution of the smartphone industry.
I want to discuss the lessons I learned from Apple’s iPhone from a product development perspective.
