Rethinking my approach

I spent yesterday revisiting basics. It's been over a year since I learnt Java (on my own if I may add), and since I dont use Java in my job everyday, I figured learning it from scratch again will help me in the long run. I learnt some syntax, revisited data types, collections and oops concepts.

Today, after a brief conversation with a friend, I realized that my actual goal is to learn Java, but I’ve been struggling excessively by trying to learn DSA alongside it. I decided to rethink my learning strategy — I might start with a Java crash course instead, and continue practicing DSA in Python. Yes, I know Python isn’t the most recommended language for DSA, but since I’ve been coding in it for over six years, it will allow me to focus more on problem-solving rather than getting stuck on syntax errors.

I also made some progress on my project: I created a few more APIs for creating and updating users. My plan is to first complete and document all the APIs, and then move on to the frontend.
