Day 24 of 100 Days of Code & Scrum: React Framework for Production!

Hello there, everyone!

I'd be lying to all of you if I said that this Monday was a great start to my week! It was definitely on the rough side with personal/family issues getting in the way.

However, I managed to commit to the requirements of the challenge! I finished the official Next.js tutorial and I am 3/4ths of the way through Scrum and XP from the Trenches.

Anyway, let's move on to my daily report!

Yesterday

I planned for what I'll be doing this week. I decided I'll be focusing on Next.js and Scrum.

Today

Here are the things I learned and worked on today:

Next.js

• I learned about the two forms of rendering in Next.js:
  • Static Generation - the page HTML is generated during build time.
  • Server-side Rendering - the page HTML is generated during each request.
• I read about getStaticProps, getStaticPaths, and getServerSideProps.
  • getStaticProps - fetch data at build time (static generation).
  • getStaticPaths - specify dynamic routes to prerender pages based on data (static generation).
  • getServerSideProps - fetch data on each request (server-side rendering).
• I learned how to do dynamic routing in Next.js.
• I read about how Next.js handles API support.

Scrum

• I continued to read Scrum and XP from the Trenches.
• It is best to estimate using man-days instead of hours.
• no team member has complete focus, the best realistic expectation is a focus factor of 70%.
• in most cases, it might be best to shorten the time to do manual testing, over taking a long time to establish automated tests.
• I learned a lot about Extreme Programming.

At least, I managed to get through today and still commit to my goals. I hope that I manage to make up for it on the rest of the days in this week.

Have a great Monday, everyone!
