It's been a hot minute since I have touched react. And it's got me a little nervous that my understanding of it will be poor. So, I am coming up with a game plan to both refresh my react skills and get good enough to be paid for them 🤞💰!
*1. Go back through an AMAZING Udemy course I made it part of the way through awhile back. My favorite part about the course are the mini projects that one does after going over a concept or two. What I like to do is add a feature that the course doesn't require which in turn forces me to figure things out by myself all the while using the mini project as a guide.
*2. I built a project in react I called G.E.M -global earthquake monitor. It is by far my most advanced project and the one I take the most pride in. It plots all earthquakes around the world for the past month on a google map, updating in real time. The larger the circle the more powerful the quake. Different colors correspond to how recent a quake is and each quake is clickable so you can get data about it. Data like the magnitude, time and place (epicenter) and was it felt by people. Unfortunately it's broken and I need to first hone my react skills in order to figure out how to fix it.
*3. After step two above is completed I may either add features to that project or build something else new cough cough react native cough!
I figure after going through either most of or all of the react course and fixing my project and adding features or building something else I "should" have entry level skills to pay the bills. Either way it's gonna be fun and I hope you follow along as I grow to be a better programmer!
If you would give me a follow, I'll be posting updates as I make progress. Feel free to give suggestions of anything you would change or add to my game plan. Thanks for reading!
