Overview of My Submission

I have built a portfolio builder, which helps everyone to create and publish fully personal portfolio in seconds.

I have used HTML, CSS and JavaScript for frontend, I could use react but that didn't make sense for this type of project coz it is already single page web app 😎.

And if I talk about backend I have used Node along with Express.js
as a server, and Redis as my main database and Redis OM to connect my server to Redis Database.

I have used Heroku to deploy my backend server and Github pages to host my HTML pages.

Introducing Voice-To-Text feature in S Gmail using Deepgram.

Overview of My Submission

Earlier I created a single-page live chatting application following real Gmail's UI, called S Gmail.
Recently I heard about the Deepgram hackathon I thought why don't I use this service in my personal application Sgmail, So, thanks to Deepgram's documentation I was successfully able to use their services in the Sgmail.

My Deepgram Use-Case

I was looking to add some features to my hobby project Sgmail application, so when I saw Deepgram's post regarding their voice-to-text service then I decided to implement this service to Sgmail.
And when I started implementing the Deepgram package I realized that I will have to create another project for Deepgram to use it as an API, So I created a very simple backend using Node.js, Express.js, and Deepgram package.

Now, the Deepgram is converting my audio file to text with good accuracy and punctuation which was very necessary for my app.

Now the users don't have to write all the text they want to send in the app, they can just speak what they want to text.

Tech stack

React.js - Frontend framework
Firebase - Realtime database
Deepgram - Voice-To-Text feature
Express - API development
Material UI - UI designing framework
Redux - State management solution
Heroku - For hosting the backend of the project
Netlify - For hosting the frontend of the project.
Github - To host the code.

Front-end of the project: https://github.com/sahirskd/gmail
Back-end of the project: https://github.com/sahirskd/deepgramApi

Conclusion

So, during Deepgram's implementation into my project, I got to learn a lot about how frontend and backend communicate through API.
After all, I got my hands dirty with the backend, Deepgram gave me the reason to do the same😁.
In future I will be building some more features for this project.

How to Start a Career as a web developer?🤔

Sahir khan — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 13:34:26 +0000

Hi there 👋,
Lots of you might be thinking 🤔, should I go in this coding field or not (I also used to think😜) but after some outer motivation I chosen this path and started to learn HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT. I took many online courses and watched lots of YouTube videos and scrolled thousands of webpages and finally, now I find myself at a good position of web development. But still I am learning new things about web development everyday, I also created some fun projects by taking help from YouTube.
But if someone wants to get into this field then I would suggest him that:

Don't take it too seriously 😡(in starting it will definitely give you a little bit of pain)
Don't 😶hesitate to ask
Don't try to learn whole things at once
Build fun😄 projects (this will improve your skills a lot)
Keep learning🙄 everyday (even for one hour)
You should build your own portfolio (as you should have something to showcase your skills)
You can learn programming for free of cost if you don't have good budget (even better than a paid course)
