Month: September 2022

We’re in the thick of it on this second project. We can use it in our portfolios for work experience. Presentation is tomorrow night. I feel woefully unprepared.  But the other guys on my team are really smart and seem to have a lot ready. Just looking to add to the team. Upwards!

Started on our second, two-week project. We decided on doing an inventory system (SwiftInv) and have to pull all our studies together for this one: Javascript for Node, Express, Sequelize, Handlebars, MVC paradigm, and of course HTML and CSS.

Had to work for Peter for 9 hours today and was so beat that I did not do any work on the project. We meet again for tomorrow night’s class.

Model-view-controller has always sounded sciency. But it’s not a difficult concept, but there is a lot of work to catch up on. Just turned in my Sequelize project tonight, too.

Kind of interested in cyber still and my employer still has work! yay!

Just neat stuff that I like to learn here in class. Kind of the geek in training.

Sequelize is just beautiful for abstracting SQL.

But spent the last 5 days or so working on the challenge due tonight. The next one is going to be a bear though. I am still doing catchup on Express and Sequelize.

Moved on to Object Relational Mapping. Didn’t know what to expect here. We are getting to know all the oft-used tools of the trade:

– Sequelize is an abstraction layer through which a developer no longer has to write SQL statements! Very cool.
– Insomnia for getting/posting/putting/deleting through HTTP. So quick and visual.
– Heroku for deploying node.js apps. Look ma, no hosting!
– Express for creating servers and request/response actions and middleware.
