Black is Tech 2023 Conference!

I've been continuing to study React, focusing on useState currently but I've also picked up SQL via a little coding app called Mimo. It is nice and a good intro to SQL but supplemental at best.

I've also started attending the Black is Tech conference that started yesterday! The speakers are all amazing, sharing valuable knowledge, insights and experiences that are truly inspiring!

I’m a proud father, of a React App.

It’s simple, it’s static and it’s mine. The styling still needs love but learning how to build this, then relearning how to build it outside of Scrimba’s editor was challenging and fun!
What I’m probably most proud of though is mapping through an array of objects with a single component to create each destination!

The React train keeps chugging!

I've finished section 2 of my React courses and almost have my second solo project completed. Although I did have to reference a few past lessons and ran into a few syntax errors, I still find React extremely fun and the easiest language I've studied so far!

My second project was to create a travel journal with places I've been, but it turned into places I want to go. The focus of the task was to learn how to make reusable components that take in props rather than hard coded items.

First React Project

I've spent the past several months learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and how to use various things like Git and VS code and I've spent time sharpening those skills to get to this point!

I started tackling React a few days ago, learning through a course expertly taught by Scrimba. I was able to complete my first React project this morning and I'm super excited to continue along this path!
