Finished PWAs and started on React for two days. What a hot technology. It’s exciting stuff. Fast fast fast.
The end of class is only about a month out.
Month: October 2022
Paying back the Chinese
As a threat, China is looming large in the graduations of thousands of engineers every year. Pretty sad with all the sex ed and 1619 nonsense here.

Theft, lies, chicanery, subterfuge, and treachery. That’s a lot to say, but accurate.
Coding Camp – 48-50
Ventured into Mongo Atlas for last day of NoSQL.
Webpack Tuesday and tonight. Now this is cool. Webpack lets you use web technologies instead of Obj-C (Swift) or Java for apps. Progressive Web Apps are downloadable from a website (save to home screen). Exciting! This is the cutting edge of dev.
Coding Camp – Days 46-47
Monday was a holiday. Spent Tuesday and Thursday discussing MongoDB, MongoDB Compass, and Mongoose. Will be finishing up Mongo on Monday.
I still am trying to finish the second project. I didn’t know if it was I who didn’t complete my part, but the other guys got 65% and that’s what I have until I finish.
Coding Camp – Day 45
Today I was on the ball. At least I knew what was going on! Just a bit about recursion and then we did a mock interview session with classmates. Tried to act as interviewers to the other classmates. Eleanor is a smart cookie. She has some interviewing skills and it came through.
That’s where I am. Trying to learn how to respond in coding interviews. These kinds of questions about sorting algorithms are common.
Coding Camp – Days 43 – 44
The second project is behind us and we’re on to computer science for javascript. It reminds me of the CS50 class I took at Harvard online. We heard briefly about sorting algorithms last night and tonight we learn a bit about functional programming. This camp is giving us a great span of computer science and coding knowledge that we can build on later throughout life. It’s a neverending process this learning in our field.
P.S. Have to learn functional programming better as React is based on it.
