Retro’ing and Debugging 2024.

Charity Ibeleme — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 20:21:17 +0000

2024 was a year when my life took an unexpected turn. I felt that I could do everything at the same time.
I was preparing for my clearance and at the same time i got a scholarship to study frontend development and also at the same time i did some side hustle jobs like writing projects for few persons ,it became a turn in the flesh where by i was unable to properly manage my time and that took a whole toil on me and therefore that affected my scholarship and i was told to retake through another cohort.
Meanwhile, my clearance had taken all my savings, I just couldn’t give up, so I talked with some of my friends, and I started self-learning, taking courses online.
Though it was not an easy walk due to the unpredictable power supply in Nigeria, I was then advised by my mentor to document my process, and that was when the beauty of everything started.

COMPILING 2025

Towards the end of 2024,I decided to evaluate my progress and I must say that I had to put in a lot of thought toward my decision.So I decided to speak to my mentor someone who has seen my work and should be able to decipher my progress,trust me I was given a lot of corrections but as they say you always have to be ready to learn ,unlearn and relearn and honestly everything he said was right and I also asked for suggestions to make thing right that would also boost my progress.So these became my new set of goals.

NEW SKILL
So for every correction one thing I opted out is to relearn because the aim about everything is to be the best at what you do so this time for me to be the best I have to find or look out for one of the best teachers in my field .So one of my goal is to relearn.

SIDE PROJECT TO PURSUE
As funny as this may sound ,I decided to get a flexible job this time,in other to be able to optimize my goal and also have the ability to finance it . Don't get it twisted, this time I chose not to take on multiple jobs in other to scale through so this time around one flexible job and more trainings.

CAREER ASPIRATION
Looking at the fast changes occuring in the tech space most times got me wandering about my decisions and goals for the year 2025 . With the demand for AI,cloud computing,Cyber security and more it make me feel confused but I decided to make sure that I get the basics first and ensure that I get it right knowing that am work in progress.

PREDICTING 2025

Sincerely at first I was scared because with the rapid changes every day but I decided on looking on the brighter side and instead of being frightened or scared I tend to use this new tools at my disposal to make it easier.so that decision has only made me to look at the brighter side rather than the perspective of the way it's been viewed .So I figured out that you have to be up to date with the trends and try to figure out how it's going to be favourable to your field .

TRENDS PREDICTIONS

One of the trend predictions I tend to see it the specialization of AI in more fields and also industry specific AI models eg the health care sector.The rise of Web3 getting into the tech space especially in finance and supply chain , cyber security becoming more essential and the Deployment of cloud native becoming the standard.

INNOVATIONS THAT ARE LIKELY TO DISRUPT THE FIELD.
Innovations that are likely to disrupt the field are no-code/low-code platforms, code interpreters, GitHub Copilot, the rise of web assembly (WASM), and quantum computing's impact on security and encryption.

SHARE YOUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF TECH?.
One of my visions, which I see already playing out, is the creative and innovative side of machines in the tech space, which may be scary but is more exciting with the right knowledge and right skill set, and I am so sure that whatever the future holds for the tech space will make life better if done with the right thoughts in place.

Tailwind css vs Traditional css

When studying CSS for the first time, we frequently struggle to understand how to use CSS styles or how to properly connect with them. However, Tailwind CSS provides a fully customizable template that makes scaling using CSS much simpler.

What is Tailwind css?
Tailwind css is an open-source css framework like Bootstrap,It does not provide a series of predefined classes for element such as buttons or tables but instead it will give you the super power of customization.

<h1> colors with different shades</h1>
  <p class="text-blue-600">Tailwind</p>

Why tailwind CSS has gained traction focusing on utility css first?
By offering a collection of highly configurable utility classes that are simple to apply to any HTML element, Tailwind CSS provides a distinctive approach to creating user interfaces.

    How it compares to traditional frameworks like material UI.

Tailwind CSS is primarily used for highly customizable projects that allow you to create designs that are uniquely yours.Its clear code-up structure prioritizes utility.Traditional frameworks, like Material UI, provide streamlined designs and expedite the coding process, eliminating the need to start from scratch.The material user interface is quite functional and simple to understand.

As a result, both Tailwind CSS and Traditional CSS have special qualities, but it all comes down to the framework's requirements and familiarity.

From zero to Hero :starting my journey as a frontend developer.

It all started in 2017,when i first started learning how to code i enrolled for a 3months learning class at Admas ,at first I was excited going through classes doing assignments but i didn't really go in depth in carrying out certain practices and exercises before i was been accepted into Abia state University Uturu to study biochemistry , i had to focus more on my studies being accepted into a very serious department .
So then i started all over in 2024 .knowing i was done with school i knew for sure that i had to get a tech skill in 2024 , but this time around had to talk with people i admired in this field who has done exceptionally well and they walked me through my doubts and uncertainties, i started attending seminars and building relationships and also this time around i indulged with self-learning, started with html, css and JavaScript ,struggled with unstable Nigeria electricity, there were times i almost gave up, and also times where i let opportunities slip off my hands but i always tried to reach out to my mentors ,they made the journey much stress-free.
It's been an amazing experience thus far and am also still learning, because learning never ends.
I made my first login page using html,css and javascript.
