What are you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Heyo!

What y'all been learning on this weekend?

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice 😉, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Have a great learning session and remember to reward yourself. Enjoy your weekend! 😀

This week I want to create my first small game in LibGDX.

I've used libGDX, but that was a long time ago. I've been brushing up on my Java skills over the last few weeks. So now it's time to take it a step further.

Now I will tell you guys after the CRUD operation in APIs what did I do ?

1)I hosted that API on the web browser on multiple web addresses as I created multiple routes on the methods regarding the specific requests.
2)After that I hosted that API on the "RAILWAY"
3) I will provide this link after sometime ....
please follow me if you want to get that link and to learn more about APIs

Learning while you are an enthusiastic programmer is a never ending process . This week I completed my last stage of MERN development , i.e ,

1)how to create APIs with the help of Express.js, Mongoose, MongoDb, SChema, Model
2)How to insert Multiple Documents that is Create Operation / POST method.
3)How to read all the documents which is Get Operation/ GET method.
4)How to Update a specific document that is Update operation / PUT or PATCH method.
5)How to delete a specific document which is Delete operation / DELETE Method.
6)All these methods can be invoked by the help of POSTMAN.
7)By the help of POSTMAN you can insert multiple documents by POST request,
get all the documents by the help of GET request, and similarly PATCH and DELETE request can do update and delete both the operations respectively

I'm refining my code and writing my product's instruction(dev.to/servbay/servbay-introductio...).
I hope my product, a local web environment, can help more developers to increase their work efficiency.

I'd like to fix a title breakage that happens on embedded blog post cards on the billboard.

After setting up the environment my machine was not able to handle the virtualization very well, but I raised an issue so that others devs can work on this 🌱

I am doing research on :

  1. Saving data that's captured on a daily basis that is tied to a user
  2. Possibly using local storage for that
  3. How to link the data to the logged in user

Rock on!! I see you made a new post live yesterday. Congrats! 🙌

Also, you might've seen this or even done this already, but in case note, you can set things up from here in your settings so that you import your posts via RSS. This way if you're posting stuff on a personal blog somewhere else, you can pull all the posts into your DEV dashboard and publish them when ready. Of course, you have to have RSS set up on your personal blog, but if you do, it's quite handy!
