DEV Community: Josh Darling

Day 28-- #100days

Josh Darling — Thu, 28 Apr 2022 20:09:01 +0000

Day 28, almost a month now since I started my web dev journey all over again. I must confess, its been challenging and amazing. My focus is on the "The Odin Project" curriculum.
So far, so good.............
As part of the CSS modules, I had to build an Admin dashboard project like this: https://cdn.statically.io/gh/TheOdinProject/curriculum/main/html_css/grid-lessons/project-dashboard/dashboard-project.png

I tried my best, not not good enough though, but its an honest code and I admire myself so how far I've come.
This is what I have now, maybe I'll do the project all over again later.

Day 11 -- #100days

Currently on Day 11 of my 100 days of code.
Done with lessons on grid and flexbox, putting those skills together in a project.

The project is an Admin dashboard that makes use of CSS grid and flexbox.This is what I'm to do.

This is what I've done so far, and I'm loving myself for coming this far... :)

At the end of the project, I'm hoping to use that design for my portfolio. Will keep y'all updated.

Day 2-4 -- #100days

Hello Everyone, my 100 days of code continues.
My day-1 was a flexbox project from a design mock up. For day 2 to 4, I've been catching up on CSS Grids. Its been interesting so far, knowing you can use both flex and grids to make your life more easier.
Day 5 will probably be a project on grids. Will keep you guys updated.

May the code be with y'all

Day 1 -- Form #100days

So I've finally started The Odin Project again, with my 100 days of code. Today's code was about creating a form from a mock up image from the Odin Project.

I tried my best though, but still more room for improvements.
I'm open to any help and suggestions, and pair programming.

This is the code on github: https://github.com/jkyereh/FORM-PROJECT

100 Days of Code

Josh Darling — Thu, 31 Mar 2022 17:11:17 +0000

I'm officially starting my 100 days of Code tomorrow, 1st April. During this time, I'll be starting web dev all over again, this time with a focus on Front-end, along side the Odin project's curriculum.
I've been away for so long and I intend to settle with webdev now.

I hope at the end of this 100 days, I'll be well equipped to land my 1st dev job, preferably remote. I'm so excited ......

Finally, 1st Rails Project done!

So somewhere last year(2019), I started learning Ruby on Rails from The Odin Project. I had already been learning and working with HTML & CSS and was already building static sites.
I dived into Rails because I needed to have a backend to certain projects, and because Javascript has always scared me... lol.

I took a break from The Odin Project, and got back just this month. I dived into the Blog Project, and after two weeks of anxiety, fustrations and alomst certainly, depression, I'm glad to say I made it.
I'm done with the Blog Project now, thanks to some wonderful people from The Odin Project's discord server.

It's been an amazing journey, gradually learning syntax and MVC, and how to handle error messages, debugging as well, and more googling , together with stack overflow. I'm proud of myself for seeing this challenge through; there were many times I felt like giving up and quitting Rails altogether.

And oh, imagine my surprise when I realized my database was gone after deploying to heroku....
I felt so mad and pained....lol, that was when I got to know that the local database is different from the heroku database, so I'd have to figure out a way to ship my local database too(Database seeding), or write all my articles again.

Anyway, its been fun and interesting. I'm already calling myself a Full Stack Rails Developer....
Josh_on_Rails it is.......

Current Project

So I started tinkering with rails somewhere last year,and went off for a while. I'm back to it now full time, with The Odin Project. Currently working on the Blog project....
Its been great so far, left with two Iterations to complete.
I just thought it would be nice to share, and to at least motivate someone.

Flask vs Rails?

Josh Darling — Mon, 24 Aug 2020 23:11:52 +0000

Which one seems easy to pick up for a beginner?
