Month: November 2022

Thanksgiving was 4 days of family, but camp is done! I will have a review of what I learned and my thoughts.

Spent a few hours with the guys building the back-end of our MERN app. Mostly nailing down details about the models, schemas and still some of the interface questions with our front-end brothers. A week and a half and this camp is done!

So we came up with a meetup app for Dungeons and Dragons players to meet up and play. It’s tentatively called AirDND. I don’t think that will ever fly in the real world, but it sounds fun.

It uses all the most recent tech in class: MongoDB, Mongoose, React, GraphQL, and Apollo and Express server. It’s tough, but will look good!

Finishing MERN and regular class periods tonight! I will have a review of the class after the final project. As I said before, don’t ever go into one of these camps with the misconception that you can catch up if you skip or procrastinate on the challenges.

Fried.

Completed MERN section of class and moving to last section, State.

So three more sessions and then 2 weeks for the last project.  6 months spent well.

Started the MERN (Mongodb, Express, React, and Node) stack, finishing up MERN tonight and on to the last section of class, State.

One word of warning if you ever take this kind of camp course: don’t say “I’ll catch up later.” Missing one class or weekly challenge mounts up.

OK, now I’m lost. I have to rewatch last night’s lecture on Apollo server and GraphQL. It’s based around Mongodb, using Mongoose.
