Day 8 in Redesigning Nasa's Astronomy Picture of the Day

Intro -

For the past few days, I have been catching up on what I have missed and maybe rusty on. Reading back on the code was most helpful and just in case you have forgotten what or why I am doing this. I'll tell you.

Recap -

Nasa has an API that allows developers to show the picture of the day of the night sky! For approximately 3 months I have been completing this project where I am making it more "prettier". It is very straight foreword what Nasa currently has, and from months ago or a couple months ago, it was a tiktok/reel trend where people would look back on their birth date and see their image that was taken. I did not choose to do this project because of a trend as it is lightyears behind us. But it was cool how many people used it and I want to make this project more pleasing to look at where it is looking similar to a social media application.

Past to Present -

For a large chunk of time, I have been busy with school but I have looked over how APIs work but have not made enough time for posting. But thankfully I can and today I have done some work. I have been implementing the API to another, not this project as I want to get a grasp of the idea and I don't want to break the real thing. There is still more to learn.

Future -

This weekend or next week I will be recapping on my Javascript and Typescript because there are still some things to learn. I plan on learning from

Black-belt your web development skills. Over 2000 free programming tutorial videos about: - Modern JavaScript (beginner to advanced) - Node.js - React - Vue.js - Firebase - MongoDB - HTML & CSS - PHP & MySQL - Laravel - React Native - Flutter - Open AI - SolidJS ...And many more topics as well :)

. I have learned a lot from this creator and like his content to where I'll watch his video rather than going to online course, but they are still great options.

If you want to see the code, I have it on my Github and post updates on DEV blogs on twitter if you are interested in my work.
