Hi there!!
I’m here to share my story of how am I learning web develop. I hope you’d find some inspirations.

As an aspiring developer with a passion for technology, I have embarked on an exciting journey of learning and growth. This coding journal serves as a valuable record of my experiences, triumphs, and hurdles as I delve into the world of programming. Through this journal, I hope to embrace challenges, celebrate my progress, and document the invaluable lessons I learn along the way.

・Facing the Learning Curve
As a newcomer to the tech world, I found myself faced with a steep learning curve. Concepts like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript seemed daunting at first, but I realized that every successful developer started from a similar place. Instead of being discouraged, I used this as motivation to dive headfirst into my studies.

・Embracing Challenges
Throughout my coding journey, I encountered numerous challenges. From debugging errors in my code to understanding complex algorithms, each obstacle taught me the importance of patience and persistence. By seeking guidance from online communities and coding forums, I learned to view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than roadblocks.

・Celebrate the Little Victories
My coding journal became a source of celebration for the small victories I achieved along the way. Whether it was successfully creating my first webpage or building a basic JavaScript application, each step forward was a cause for joy. Acknowledging these achievements boosted my confidence and fueled my passion for coding.

・Learning Plan and Goal Setting
To ensure consistent progress, I developed a learning plan that outlines my goals and milestones. Breaking down my objectives into manageable tasks allowed me to track my progress and stay focused on my long-term aspirations. Through this journal, I reflect on my plan regularly and make adjustments as needed.

・Recording New Discoveries
As a tech learner, my coding journal has become a treasure trove of new discoveries and creative ideas. From exploring various frameworks to experimenting with different coding techniques, I use this space to document the things that inspire me. These records serve as a reference for future projects and personal growth.

・Navigating Unanswered Questions
Throughout my coding journey, I have encountered countless questions that remain unanswered. However, rather than being disheartened, I have learned to view these questions as opportunities for further exploration. This curiosity drives me to seek knowledge beyond the basics, helping me become a well-rounded developer.

・Future Aspirations
As I continue my journey as a tech learner, my coding journal reflects my aspirations to specialize in web development and explore the vast field of mobile app development. I am eager to learn new technologies, contribute to open-source projects, and collaborate with like-minded individuals in the tech community.

・Conclusion
In conclusion, my coding journal has become an integral part of my learning process, offering a glimpse into my growth and progress as a tech learner. Through the challenges, celebrations, and new discoveries, I am constantly evolving and inching closer to my dream of becoming a proficient developer. This journal will remain a cherished companion, guiding me through the dynamic and ever-changing world of technology. As I look forward to the future, I am filled with excitement and determination to continue this journey with passion and purpose.

I've learned how to setup Next.js. I put together it for myself in this blog.
(2023/05/29)

・You can move from Docs to Installation on official site of Next.js.

▼ Official site of Next.js

https://nextjs.org/docs/getting-started/installation

・Following Automatic Installaiton, execute the command on your terminal.

# npm
npx create-next-app@latest

・Put your project name following the instruction.

✔ What is your project named? … [Project name]

・Answer the several questions with Yes or No.

✔ Would you like to use TypeScript with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use ESLint with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use Tailwind CSS with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to use `src/` directory with this project? … No / Yes
✔ Use App Router (recommended)? … No / Yes
✔ Would you like to customize the default import alias? … No / Yes

※There exists no file of ".next" yet.

・Move to the file that you just made with your terminal and open an editor.

# Move to new project file 
cd [project name]
# Open an editor
code .

・Once executing DEV mode, .next directory and the local path will be made.

# DEV mode
npm run dev

Hi there!!!

I'm here for the first time. I'm Yuto, who is originally from Japan. Currently, I'm taking 2 years off the college in Japan where I go because I had always wanted to study abroad as soon as possible. So, I came in Vancouver last month. And then, I'm a student. To tell the truth, I feel like my dream has already come true since living in abroad was one my things that I want to do until my life is end.

Now, I'm taking Web Develop corse even though I majored in electrical engineer corse being in college. I'm having a blast so far. Obviously, I do not have any experiences in web develop. So, I have been studying much harder than I was a student in Japan.

Actually, I have been hitting at least two walls ever since I came here in Vancouver. One of them is language. To be honest, I knew I would struggle with communicating with people in English. However, it was more tough than I expected in reality. I often get stuck for words. For instance, the time ordering in restaurant, asking for direction and taking with my host family and so on. Another one is experiences. I was just a student before coming here. I have a bit of work experiences as part time like everybody. But, Almost all of the people who came in Vancouver like me are have tons of experiences as engineer or other industry. I know that I should not compare myself to other people. But I unintentionally think that I need to be in in a harry and catch up with them as soon as possible even though I know that's impossible. At the same time, I thought that it is really advantages for me to learn because There are a lot of specialist of kind industry.
Staying positive is my personality.

Hopefully I can get a job as engineer here and work on my English in the future.

Nice to meet you!
