Still to-doing the to-do...

(I will keep this week’s post ‘brief-ish’ also as I have had some time constraints and have not been as organised or productive as I would have liked to be)

Things I've worked on/completed since my last post…

I am still working on the To-do list, but I have now moved onto working on the DOM.

Things that went well...

So far (famous last words), things have not gone too badly this week. I am at the point where I am adding tasks to the DOM/UI using input date from a pop-up window and that feels like an achievement at the moment.

I still have quite a way to go, but I have at least got something fundamental working in the DOM/UI.

Things that didn't go quite so well...

I have had a bit of a disorganised week for various reasons, which has meant doing a bit ‘here and there’ and not being as organised as I would have liked. For this reason, I am simply focussing on getting each small task done, without looking at the nitty gritty of the organisation of the code. I am keeping the code in modules, but currently, the code within those modules is a bit disorganised, although I do plan to clean it up at a later point.

The hardest part of the project this week was simply knowing/deciding when to stop trying to test everything in the console before moving onto the DOM. I eventually came to a point where i thought, ‘I can only get it working fully in the console to a point’ and I just stopped at a point that made sense to me.

Things I've learnt/need to improve on...

I need to learn when to stop working on the logic and testing and when to start working on the DOM.

Plan for the forthcoming week...

I will continue to work on the DOM in the To-do project.

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
