Day 1-2/100
The most hardworking days are the ones we feel most thankful about!
Hey there fellow devs!
Welcome to the firsts of a century of days, I warmly extend my thanks to you for being present in my coding journey with me ✨✨
I had super productive days, where I was able to touch all the domains that I'm learning currently. Here's a rundown of all that ticked off my list 💫
C++ Theory lectures : Dived into C++ theory videos on structures, classes and objects to brush up on the basics and deepen my understanding of the language. Though I'm done with basic DSA, but I did it in JAVA and C in the first semester. Switching to C++ now. ✅
Used ExpressJS to serve a website : Used ExpressJS to serve a website I made using CSS and HTML. I added another About Us page and linked it to the home page using Express. Felt so amazing seeing my website come alive! ✅
Customizing views directory : In the process of building the website, I dwelved into customizing the views directory in ExpressJS. This allowed me to alter the name of the views directory according to my liking and build a better project structure. ✅
Using partials in Express : I also explored the use of partials in Express, which made it so much easier to reuse components across multiple pages. It definitely streamlined the development process! ✅
Added 404 Error Page using ExpressJS : To make sure my website was user-friendly, I made sure to add a custom 404 error page using ExpressJS. Making a website now seems more fun than ever. Definitely falling in love with development. ✅
JS OOPs concepts : Another important milestone was diving into JavaScript's Object-Oriented Programming (OOPs) concepts. Understanding OOPs is crucial for writing clean, efficient, and organized code. Though I'm done with basic JS, I'm revising it again for my college. ✅
Weather app using node as backend : Lastly, I successfully completed a Weather App using NodeJS as the backend. Making this surely made me cry more than laugh. But in the end it was incredibly rewarding to see everything come together and create a functional app that pulls real-time weather data. I used JS events along with ExpressJS methods to integrate the API and to serve the data to the user. I also made sure to add the time, date and day to the app.
I used the sun, cloud and rain icons to modify the UI according to the API response. Everything turned out so so amazing in the end! ✅
Had really, really great days. The most hardworking days are the ones we feel most thankful about. Thank you for lending me your precious minutes and reaching till here. Hope tomorrow is as good too, mine and yours alike! Till then, Au revoir! 🥂
