What was your win this week?

I had the first article breaking beyond 1000 views. (Update: beyond 2000 now) (Update 19.8.2022: 5000 now!)

I have been doing faculty/student undergrad research this summer and, we got really promising results to add to our paper this week! With our new discovery, there is a high chance I will be able to add another published paper to my collection!!!

For some more background information, our project involved minecraft and evolving flying machines in Minecraft using quality diversity!

Following last week, the alpha at work had minor bugs (now resolved) and the beta is scheduled for release next week👏👏👏

I developed a Free Games app with Angular, RxJS, TypeScript, and the Free To Play Games Database API!

We have released a post about API and Discord chatBOT which is actually kind of cool

🧑‍🚀 Disrupting 📦 delivery with public (Quarkus) APIs & chatBOT 🚀

Well, I mostly finished the documentation and release of an application: github.com/raguay/EmailIt

This program started back in 2014 as a script for TextBar for my notes. Then it moved to NW.js and Vue.js and then to Mint. Now it is a Wails application using Svelte for the frontend. Much better now and much faster. The backend server is bundled together with it and works great (at least for me). I’m waiting for others to give feedback.

My post was selected as discussion of the week 😁

Posted the first two parts of my online mobile development course on dev.to. Third part is so big it exceeded the size limit for a blog post even when cut in half.

I joined dev.to 😀 and wrote 15 posts 😅🤪 in few days. Participated a few discussions;
and none the less, learned I learned things.

My win of the week was making a Tic tac toe game, successfully learning how to manipulate the DOM from JavaScript, and being able to find a learning method that allows me to keep everything held together and apply it easily with memorizing everything.

Still learning, but now it's time to move to Third party packages vs making your own custom code for my first portfolio website. I'm not sure if I should wait with HTML CSS and JavaScript, or use a framework like VueJS (might be overkill 🤣).

-GrapghQL API with Vue and Amplify.

-CRUD operation using Boto3 to interact with Dynamodb

3 weeks into a new job, I pushed code to production. It was pretty exciting!

I'm giving my first ever conference talk!

My win for this week was to begin understanding the Jest library for React testing after completing the Redux course on Codecademy. It was a win not only because of completing the course, but because it gave me a clear sense of direction in terms of building Full Stack Applications. After learning to manage state of an application with Redux the next step is learning how it's different from Context API. Following this, query languages that will allow me to pull data from outside of the app for users seems to be the logical next step.

However, besides "best practices" for writing the code itself I am not coming across cybersecurity concepts as often as I would like. Is there any recommendations regarding understanding implementing cybersecurity for a full stack app? i.e API hardening)

Finished version 1 of my portfolio webiste.
