Greetings!
Today, I went out for my Physical Therapy session so I couldn't spend much time coding. However, I got 3 hours in, which I'm pretty content with for a day with impediments. I also started planning for the requirements and features of my company's website, so I wrote some user stories along with another developer today.
Anyway, let's move on to my daily report!

Yesterday
I learned about two forms of rendering in Next.js. Also, I read about getStaticProps
, getStaticPaths
, and getServerSideProps
. I kept on pushing through Scrum and XP from the Trenches.
Today
Here are the things I learned and worked on today:
Next.js
- Web crawlers are used by search engines to navigate a website to discover other websites and its pages.
- Here is how the Googlebot indexes webpages:
- find URLs
- add the URLs to the Crawl Queue
- make an HTTP request
- Render Queue
- if all criteria are met, the page may be indexed and shown in search results.
- There are 4 rendering strategies in Next.js:
- Static Generation - the page HTML is generated during build time.
- Server-side Rendering - the page HTML is generated during each request.
- Incremental Static Generation - static generation on a page-by-page basis.
- Client-side Rendering - websites are rendered entirely using JavaScript.
- I learned more about crawling and indexing, including status codes, robots.txt, XML sitemaps, special tags, and canonical tags.
Scrum
- wrote user stories for my company website.
- I continued to read Scrum and XP from the Trenches.
- part-time team members in Scrum are rarely a good idea.
- rearranging teams between sprints are best done at the beginning and only for long-term changes afterwards.
- cross-component teams tend to be better most of the time than component-specialized teams.
- synchronizing the sprints of multiple teams is better than overlapping.
I really had a great time today, even if the day felt really short!
I hope everyone's doing well!
