100 lessons, 100 days
Day 1
Much like countless developers before me I stared at those little green github squares that are so intrinsically linked to our self-worth as productive creators. I was facing that ever looming spectre that haunts us all "What should I work on next?"
I had a slew of little ideas that would make a fun toy application to play, but mulling them over in my head just didn't tickle that creative part of my brain. I had been recently finished a ton of research into a handful of technologies that I wanted to learn before the end of the year, so I knew whatever I picked would need to be something chunky that would covr everything.
I finally arrived on the, I won't call it a brilliant, idea that I will task myself with learning one new thing about web-development and I would do it by creating a new website every day. I needed to lay down some solid groundrules of course, nothing to restrictive
The Rules
- The challenge lasts 100 days, so 100 lessons learned, and hopefully 100 websites created
- Challenge runs Mon-Fri
- I create a blog post describing what I learned that day
And that is it, Challenge accepted.
Lesson 1: Introduction to Next.js!
I have been hearing buzz about Next.js for sometime now, and coming from a background of pure React I was pretty interested in the features it boasted right out of the box. Today I created the 100 Lessons homepage today and just dipped my toes into the the basics of Next.js, and WOW it is a delight to work with. I love their filestructure based routing. It makes creating a SPA with client-side rendering.
I'm excited to dive deeper into Next.js and the other tech on my list.
That's all for my day 1 review, Never Stop Coding!!
