100DaysOfCode
1.0.0
Selamat datang di log kode #100 hari saya saat saya menghadapi tantangan untuk mengkode setidaknya satu jam sehari selama 100 hari ke depan! Saya bergabung dengan dunia baru yang berani mempelajari cara mengkode dengan memulai bootcamp pengembangan Web Full School of Code. Ini penuh waktu untuk empat bulan ke depan tetapi juga gratis. Proses aplikasi panjang tetapi School of Code hanya menerima 3% dari 4000 pelamar untuk kohort saya. Bagaimana saya bisa menolak kesempatan itu? #careerchange #womenintech

Pikiran: Setelah seminggu yang intens, ketika saya sakit flu dan mencoba belajar cara kode menggunakan React JS, saya perlu istirahat mental. Saya menemukan itu menggembirakan dan memotivasi belajar bagaimana meningkatkan log #100daysofcode saya di #github untuk membuatnya lebih menarik untuk dibaca. Suatu hari saya mudah -mudahan saya akan memposting beberapa proyek yang sebenarnya, tetapi untuk saat ini ini adalah langkah pertama yang baik. Kutipan dari Code First Girls ini adalah apa yang perlu saya baca hari ini:

Kemajuan hari ini :
Minggu ini di School of Code kami telah dimasukkan ke dalam kelompok empat dan diminta untuk merancang aplikasi web tumpukan penuh yang membantu mengatasi tantangan yang dihadapi bootcampers sambil belajar dari jarak jauh. Di akhir minggu kami akan menyajikan solusi kami kepada panel juri dari industri
Salah satu tujuan kami minggu ini adalah menggunakan praktik pengembangan perangkat lunak yang gesit saat kami merencanakan, mengelola, mengembangkan, dan menyajikan aplikasi kami. Oleh karena itu, sebagai sebuah tim, kami pertama kali menyetujui item inti manifesto tim kami dan strategi pemulihan. Kami kemudian menggunakan Jamboard dan metode Ideasi Disney untuk bertukar pikiran dan kemudian mempersempitnya. Kami juga menyelesaikan cerita pengguna, pohon komponen, dan wireframe kesetiaan rendah di Figma.
Sebelum memulai hari saya dengan School of Code, saya menonton video instruksional YouTube oleh Net Ninja tentang Node.js dan bereaksi (menggunakan JSON Server dan UseEFFECT Dependency).
Kemajuan hari ini :
Hari ini kami membuat Dewan Kanban di Trello untuk tujuan manajemen proyek. Kami kemudian masuk ke pasangan pemrograman dengan satu pasangan mulai membangun front-end dan yang lain bekerja di belakang.
Untuk back-end, kami menggambar diagram yang menunjukkan tabel apa yang akan berisi basis data kami dan bagaimana mereka bergabung. Kami juga menulis tabel perencanaan API untuk permintaan yang akan ditangani oleh back-end kami. Kemudian kami membuat database PostgreSQL di Railway.app
Pikiran:
Ini adalah hari yang sangat menegangkan. Gesekan yang kami miliki di tim kemarin menjadi lebih buruk hari ini. Salah satu kolega kami tidak selaras dengan anggota tim lainnya dan kami mendapati diri kami menghabiskan terlalu banyak energi mengartikulasikan mengapa kami melakukan apa yang kami sepakati sebelumnya, mencoba untuk mendorong ke depan melawan kekuatan yang mendorong kembali. Di pertengahan sore hari, menjadi tak tertahankan dan tim kami mencapai titik puncaknya.
Kemajuan hari ini :
Salah satu tantangan hari ini adalah menghubungkan ujung depan dan belakang yang telah kami kembangkan. Kami akhirnya mengunduh paket Node.js yang disebut CORS yang menyediakan middleware ekspres dan mengubah komponen reaksi kami untuk merespons dengan tepat.
Kami juga memiliki konsol. Log di dalam fungsi async yang membuat kami pergi untuk sementara waktu sampai kami memperhatikan bahwa kami perlu memindahkannya.
Kami berhasil mendapatkan dua komponen untuk bekerja dengan benar.
Pikiran:
Kami mulai hari ini dengan ketidakpastian tentang apa yang akan terjadi pada tim kami. Kami terus bekerja sebagai trio tetapi kami masih sedikit tersesat, karena sulit untuk melanjutkan sementara keadaan berubah secara aktif.
Itu tetap seperti itu sampai pertengahan sore ketika kami secara resmi menerima keputusan dari School of Code bahwa sejak saat itu dan seterusnya kami akan menjadi tim yang terdiri dari tiga orang. Kami jelas ketinggalan, tetapi konfirmasi ini memberi kami apa yang kami butuhkan yang pasti. Selama sisa sore itu, kami bertiga menilai kembali situasi kami, menulis ulang rencana pemulihan kami, dan mulai mempertimbangkan kembali definisi produk minimum (MVP) kami.
Kemajuan hari ini :
Pagi ini di stand-up harian kami, kami memutuskan bahwa tujuan kami pada akhir hari adalah agar aplikasi kami memiliki dasbor yang dimodulus dengan bagian yang jelas dan terstruktur secara visual dengan baik. Kami harus membuat beberapa pengorbanan pada rencana awal kami untuk mencapai MVP kami yang direvisi pada akhir hari, seperti:
Setelah merevisi MVP kami, kami datang dengan skema warna, memodifikasi wireframe rendah kesetiaan kami, dan membahas prioritas dan tanggung jawab kami untuk tugas menggunakan papan Kanban kami di Trello.
Saya belajar hari ini bagaimana menggunakan CSS dalam komponen React to Style dan menikmati melihat hasil visual langsung dari pengkodean saya.
Pada akhir setiap hari minggu ini kami bertemu untuk retrospektif, menggunakan teknik 4LS, untuk membahas apa yang kami sukai, dibenci, merindukan, dan belajar hari itu.
Kemajuan hari ini :
Hari ini fokus kami adalah mempersiapkan dan menyajikan aplikasi kami ke panel juri dari industri.
Solusi kami adalah dasbor untuk membantu bootcampers dekompresi setelah hari belajar yang intens. Ini memiliki kegiatan, diselenggarakan berdasarkan kategori, yang membantu meningkatkan kesejahteraan. Anda dapat menambahkannya setiap hari dan melihat kemajuan Anda berdasarkan tujuan Anda. Ini juga memiliki generator lelucon acak. Akhirnya, ada prompt untuk menuliskan hal -hal yang Anda syukuri dengan daftar yang mengingatkan Anda tentang apa yang telah Anda syukuri di masa lalu.
Alat yang digunakan: jamiboard, figma, trello, vscode, git, github, zoom, google docs, dan google slide
Tech stack digunakan: JavaScript ES6, Node.js, Expres.js, React.js, PostgreSQL (Elephantsql dan Railway.app), HTML, dan CSS
Pikiran:
Kami mengalami kemunduran yang tak terhindarkan minggu ini dan kemudian kami menjadi tim tiga ketika kami sudah ketinggalan. Setelah itu, meskipun tim kami lebih kecil, kami bekerja sebagai tim yang kohesif, merayakan kemenangan kami betapapun kecilnya, dan tingkat produktivitas kami menembak melalui atap.
Pengambilan besar bagi kita adalah betapa pentingnya pola pikir dan sikap positif ketika menghadapi tantangan sebagai sebuah tim. Kami memiliki kesempatan unik untuk mengalami jenis hambatan yang mungkin dihadapi dalam lingkungan kerja yang nyata. Penting bagi kami untuk terus bergerak maju dan tetap gesit.
Minggu ini, kami menjalani nilai -nilai berikut dari agile manifesto:
Saya sangat berterima kasih kepada rekan satu tim saya di proyek ini, Gabe dan Milly. Mereka mendukung, membesarkan hati, baik hati, fleksibel, tangguh, dan brilian dalam pengkodean juga! Kami menghadapi tantangan besar tetapi mengatasinya bersama, bekerja sebagai tim yang kohesif dengan sikap positif. Pada akhir minggu kami memberikan kepada para hakim sebuah aplikasi yang berfungsi yang diberi kode hampir seluruhnya dalam sehari. Pencapaian yang luar biasa!
Kalian menunjukkan pemahaman yang kuat tentang prinsip -prinsip dasar desain perangkat lunak dan siklus hidup pengembangan perangkat lunak secara umum.
Pekerjaan yang sangat bagus membuat situasi positif dari minggu yang sulit.
Perjalanan yang tidak menguntungkan mengingat masalah yang mereka miliki dengan anggota tim, tetapi masih disampaikan pada proyek yang mengesankan.
Secara alami, produk akhir Anda kurang berkembang daripada yang lain yang kami lihat, tetapi itu benar -benar dapat dimengerti ketika kami mempertimbangkan masalah yang Anda miliki dalam seminggu (dan sama sekali tidak dapat dihindari!) Apa yang Anda sajikan meskipun benar -benar mengesankan untuk apa yang pada dasarnya adalah pekerjaan sehari.
Kemajuan hari ini : Sebelum SOC dimulai pagi ini, saya membaca di Dokumen ReactJs tentang negara untuk memperkuat pemahaman saya.
Di School of Code hari ini, kami menghabiskan pagi di kelompok proyek kami dari minggu lalu mengadakan retrospektif sprint kami. Kami membuat Dewan Trello untuk membahas apa yang berjalan dengan baik, apa yang perlu ditingkatkan, dan item tindakan untuk masa depan. Saya juga belajar bagaimana menambahkan opsi pemungutan suara untuk kartu Trello sehingga kami dapat memiliki tim yang memberikan suara pada tiga ide yang ingin kami lihat di bagian atas daftar.
Di sore hari, kami fokus pada ulasan kode. Kami membaca pedoman tinjauan kode dan kemudian bertemu dengan tim lain dari minggu lalu untuk meninjau kode mereka (dan sebaliknya).
Tautan ke beberapa sumber daya yang digunakan :
Status: memori komponen
Dasar -dasar retrospektif dari Atlassian
Kemajuan Hari Ini : Hari ini kami mulai menerapkan beberapa perubahan pada kode dalam proyek kami berdasarkan umpan balik yang kami terima dari ulasan kode rekan kami kemarin.
Pikiran: Saya sangat menikmati hari ini dan merasa banyak belajar. Ketika kami sedang meninjau kode kami, saya mencoba menjelaskan dengan keras kepada rekan satu tim saya apa yang dilakukan kode. Rekan satu tim saya brilian dalam menjelaskan apa pun yang tidak saya mengerti. Mereka juga membantu saya mulai menggunakan sintaks yang benar. Seringkali saya mengerti dan dapat menjelaskan logika kode tetapi tidak ingat kata -kata teknis yang benar untuk digunakan (seperti "rendering komponen").

Kemajuan Hari Ini : Membuat Dokumen ReadMe untuk Repo Frontend and Backend dari proyek grup kami dari minggu lalu. Selesai menulis komentar JSDOC dalam kode untuk repo frontend dan backend. Ketika kami melewati kode lagi, itu baik untuk meninjau pemahaman saya tentang bagaimana setiap bagian terhubung dan berkomunikasi dengan bagian lain dari depan ke backend.
Kemajuan Hari Ini : Hari ini kami belajar tentang identitas sebagai layanan (IDAAS), otentikasi berbasis cloud yang dibangun dan dioperasikan oleh penyedia pihak ketiga. Contoh penyedia IDAAS adalah AUTH0, AWS Cognito, Firebase, dan Supabase. Pada sore hari saya mulai mencoba mengatur otentikasi di frontend proyek React. Saya menggunakan autho0 untuk mengintegrasikan fitur-fitur berikut dalam aplikasi reaksi satu halaman:
Today's Progress : Today I continued working on yesterday's project. I learned how to call an API that validates ourJSON Web Tokens. The aim was to get our user's metadata to display on the page and we managed to do it!
Next, we worked on protecting the backend of our React project. We created an API that supports the following routes:
It took ages to figure out how to get the last one (private-scoped) to work but we finally managed to find and tick the right boxes in the Auth0 API settings to get it to work (hint: check the Machine to Machine Applications tab).
In the last few minutes of the day, I built a React app from scratch that uses authentication via Auth0. The one bit I haven't figure out yet is how to code it so that you can only access the app once you have logged in. Right now it's showing on the main page and also when you log in. Will tackle that problem another day.
Today I also added a demo video to the README files for our week 9 Group Project: Globally Scoped Project Frontend and Globally Scoped Project Backend
Today's Progress : Learned and practiced how to deploy React app projects via Netlify.
Today's Progress : Learned and practiced how to deploy a backend environment using Render. Then deployed the related frontend (a React app shopping list) via Netlify.
The highlight for me today was learning how to set up my React App from last Friday (2 Dec) so that the user has to log in first before they had access to the app, their user info and their user metadata.
To do this, we leveraged the Identity as a Service (IDaaS), Auth0 React SDK. It is a JavaScript library for implementing authentication and authorization in React. We used the useAuth0 hook in our components to access authentication states such as (isAuthenticated and user), authentication methods such as logout, as well as the logical conjunction (&&) operator to do it.
In the morning I also completed some katas on Code Wars with my pairing partner for an hour. We started going through Katas list of Training JS series together.
Today's Progress : Today we learned about a React Hook called useContext that lets you read and subscribe to context from your component.
Links to resources : React Hooks: useContext and Passing Data Deeply with Context
Today's Progress : This morning I completed a CodeWars kata with my pairing partners. Then we worked on completing the workshop from yesterday on custom hooks.
In the afternoon, we learned more about Couchbase. Couchbase is a DataBase as a Service (DBaaS) provider.
Today's Progress : Hackathon Friday at School of Code. Our challenge was to ideate, plan, and build a full stack app that included:
It was a huge challenge to do in just 5 hours. We managed the first task and had started on the second one when it was time to present at the end of day.
Thoughts: How do you maintain motivation to keep going when you are worn out? After twelve weeks of intensive learning with the School Of Code boot camp, I took the advice that Women In Technology (WIT) shared below so I can press on to keep going in my #100daysofcodechallenge.
Today's Progress : We started learning about TypeScript today. Here's a little code snippet from the first part of our workshop practicing writing in TypeScript:
Code Snippets
/* TASK 1.1: declare and initialize a boolean variable */
let isTrue : boolean = true ;
/* declare and initialize a string variable */
let myName : string = "Stephanie" ;
/* declare and initialize a number */
let myAge : number = 32 ;
/* declare and initialize an array of booleans */
let isVeryTrue : boolean [ ] = [ true , false ] ;
/* declare and initialize an array of strings */
let stringArray : string [ ] = [ "2" , "b" , "6" ] ;
/* TASK 1.2: Declare and implement a function which takes in two numbers and
returns their sum.*/
function totalSum ( a : number , b : number ) {
return ( a + b ) ;
}
console . log ( totalSum ( 2 , 8 ) ) ;
/* TASK 1.3: Declare a new type that describes an object containing the keys and
types below:
amount: a number
uniqueId: a string
isValid: a boolean
addressLines: an array of strings */
type Data = {
amount : number ;
uniqueID : string ;
isValid : boolean ;
addressLines : string [ ] ;
} ;
function getData ( personalData : Data ) {
return personalData . uniqueID ;
}
console . log ( getData (
{
amount : 15 ,
uniqueID : "Sam" ,
isValid : true ,
addressLines : [ "1 Park Lane" , "2 Falcon Way" ]
}
) ) ;
/* TASK 1.4: Declare a new type which is any one of: "BLUE" or "YELLOW" */
function setColor ( color : string | string ) {
return "My favourite color is " + color ;
}
console . log ( setColor ( "BLUE" ) ) ;
console . log ( setColor ( "YELLOW" ) ) ;Today's Progress : Learned how to convert React JavaScript to TypeScript. Spent the day with my pairing partner converting all the .js components of a “to-do list” React app to .tsx components.
Today's Progress : Today we learned how to use VS Code to debug code. We also learned a bit more about how to code using TypeScript.
Tomorrow I have a progress interview. Therefore, I also took some time to review the code from our week 9 group project to make sure I understood it. My programming pair partner for this week, Beatrice, was kind enough to let me practice explaining it to her. She asked me some good questions about it too.
In the evening I met with my mentor, Arthur, and he helped me review and practice answering common interview questions that someone might be asked when interviewing for a software development job.
Today's Progress : Hackathon Friday at School of Code. With our programming pair partner our challenge was to build a weather checker app using Typescript and React. The user needed to be able to input the name of a city and have weather information about that city added to the page.
We first made a plan then created a component tree diagram in Miro before we started any coding. I had my progress interview in the middle of the day so Beatrice did a large chunk of the coding during the 1 1/2 hours that I was away for my interview.
In the last bit of time we had at the end of the day we managed to add a background image and weather icon which reflects the city's weather.
Today's Progress : Continued to work through more of the Free Code Camp curriculum for the JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Certification. Also started watching Dave Grey's Node.js Tutorials on YouTube.

Thoughts: I have now completed the first twelve weeks of the School of Code (SoC) boot camp. When I started, the only coding I knew how to do was some basic Python from the Code First Girls intro course I took last summer. I didn't know any JavaScript, HTML, or CSS. I didn't know how to use Git or GitHub. I had never heard of a PERN Stack much less how to code using PostgreSQL, Express, React, and NodeJS. In these past twelve weeks, we have been taught a massive amount and I've worked incredibly hard - day, night, and every weekend. It's amazing how much I have learned and grown in just three months.
I still feel so behind though in my comprehension and was feeling quite discouraged yesterday. However, Bee helped me gain some perspective by pointing out that before our SoC boot camp started, she spent two months going through some Udemy courses on JavaScript (while also working). At our SoC bootcamp we only spent 3 days learning what she had spent a full 2 months learning on her own.
I really enjoyed going through this basic JavaScript course on Free Code Camp today. It's so much easier on my brain. I'm learning things that so many others on my SoC course already knew before they started. Some of these concepts look familiar to me because we have used them in our coding at SoC but I had not learned them yet.
This post encouraged me too:
Today's Progress : This morning David Adams, Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at ManyPets, gave us a interesting, practical presentation about the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) cycle.
In the afternoon, I met my new programming pair partner for the week and together we started learning more about Amazon Web Services' many products. We created a new AWS account and followed the Amplify with React tutorial to create a full stack application with the AWS Amplify Comment Line Interface (CLI). We didn't have time today to add authentication to the app or deploy and host it but managed to get everything else done from the tutorial.
Link(s) to resources : Amplify with React Tutorial
Today's Progress : This afternoon we did group research projects on Nextjs, Gatsby, and Remix. Each programming pair was assigned one of the React frameworks to research. We later presented to groups who looked at the other two frameworks. My programming partner and I were assigned to research Remix. As part of our research we created a Remix project from scratch. Our group presentations at the end led to some interesting discussions about which framework was better to use depending on your needs.
In the morning I also solved a CodeWars kata with my programming pair partner for this week.

Today's Progress :
This month at School of Code we have been put into teams of six people and tasked with designing a full stack web application which solves a real-world problem. The aim of this month-long project is to help us experience what it's like to be part of a real-life engineering team building a practical solution for our end users.
Today as a team we accomplished the following:
Key Principles from our Team Manifesto:
Pikiran:
Today was our first day back after a two-week holiday and the first thing we did was find out who our teammates are for this final project. I have only worked with one of my five teammates (pair programming) before but know some of them as we're in a larger 40 person group (A) on the bootcamp. I am very excited to about our team. They are all great people and we have huge potential.
Today's Progress :
Disney Ideation Method:
User Stories:
The Unique Selling Point (USP) of our app will be:
Now that we had agreed on an idea for our app we decided on a team name: Frugal Fanatics
Today's Progress : Today we began to define our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and to design a basic low fidelity wireframe based on our requirements.
We also created a Market Research Survey on Google docs. I shared it on LinkedIn, Facebook, and on the School of Code Slack channels to gather as much feedback as possible.
Link to our survey : Frugal Fanatics Market Research Survey
Today's Progress :
We had 74 people complete our Market Research Survey! The results led us to quickly pivot our MVP based on the user feedback.
It showed that the vast majority of those surveyed have increased stress and anxiety as a result of the cost of living crisis. This led us to decide to add a component to the app which would help them, such as a mindfulness element.
Users also indicated that they were keen to have a budgeting tool as well as a tracker for their expenses and saving. However, not many indicated that they needed help with managing debt. So we decided to shelve the debt tracker for the time being.
Today we also finished our low fidelity wireframes.
Today's Progress :
We made final decisions on our Tech stack today, including using relational databases over non-relational. We also decided on our Git branching strategy (GitHub Flow) and practiced it using a practice repo. We will be protecting the main branch and deploying after every sprint. In addtion, we agreed on our colour scheme.

Today's Progress :
We finally started coding today!
Team Rota:
Other work we did today as a team:
On the Front End:
On the Back End:
Entity Relationship Diagram 
Today's Progress :
We merged all the front and back end branches this morning so we are moving forward on a uniform copy. With my pair partner for the day I set up the back end to include 3 models and 3 routes connected to the database tables on elephantSQL.
Today's front end teams:
Today's Progress : Today I was working with a different partner on the back end. We debugged and successfully tested GET requests for userRoutes, expensesRoutes, and savingsRoutes via Postman. We also successfully debugged and tested POST for userRoutes.
I drafted the README doc for our back end repo.
We also deployed the back end to Render: Users Table, Expenses Table, and Savings Table
Today's Progress : This morning, with my partner, I finished debugging and testing the back-end GET and POST requests for users, expenses and savings.
We then prepared our group presentation for our mid-month product demos which we showed in the afternoon to everyone in Group A (around 40 people). We received some helpful feedback from the coaches which we will bring into our planning next week.
Today's Progress : Worked on documenting our teams progress since we started, including taking screen shots and recoding videos which demonstrate our app as it is today.
Today's Progress : Today we discussed our goals for our next week-long sprint which starts today. Our top priority is to get the front and back end connected. Right now we have a fully funtional back end with GET and POST requests working. The front end is working too but with dummy data that's been hard coded.
My programming pair partner for today and I worked on cleaning up the code on the front end: breaking down the components into groups and updating the terminology to match the database. At the end of the day, we met as a team of six again and decided that tomorrow morning four of us will work together to agree upon how we want to connect the front and back end so we are not doing separate things (on the front and back end) that don't end up working together.
We are also considering at what stage we will implement authentication - at the start before completing the budget information form, or only after that form has been completed but before displaying the custom dashboard which is populated with data from the completed form.
Today's Progress : Last week, we created a custom Express.js server on the back end and built our front end using the Next.js React framework. We realised this week that there are some challenges with connecting these two. Therefore, today we explored some other options for the back end that would work better with Next.js, such as Supabase. Some of the features that Supabase offers are a Postgres database and authentication. It is also open-source. We spent today discussing, researching and experimenting to determine the best option to use. While I was doing this with a few of my teammates, two others from our group worked together to get the front end deployed on Netlify as well. When we divide and conquer we make great progress together as a team!
Link(s) to resources : Supabase
Today's Progress : Yesterday afternoon we created a test branch off our main front end branch and scaled it down to test whether we could get Supabase working with authentication and our simplified Next.js app. We managed to get it working so decided to go with Supabase + Next.js instead of elephantSQL and Express.js with Next.js. It was easy to quickly replicate our Postgres database in Supabase. Then we started refactoring our code on the front end using Supabase. It's been slow going as it's all new to us. Up to this point, the only authentication that we've learned in the bootcamp was how to use Auth0 as a login for a simple static site. Our app for this project, however, requires authentication and authorization when accessing the database and it's also a dynamic website.
We also spent time as a team today discussing how we can make our app fun and gamefied since that's one of our unique selling points. We have some great ideas which we hope to implement once we finish connecting the front and back ends.
Two of our team worked together today updating the front end to make it accessible. By the end of the day, Google's Lighthouse accessibility audit was showing all green with 100% ratings.
This evening I spent some time reading through documentation on Next.js and supabase so I have a better understanding of how they work. I feel more confident now going into tomorrow.
Tech Stack starting week 3
Accessibility - Lighthouse Audit
Today's Progress : Discussed our goals first thing this morning. Decided to make dark mode the default mode for our app as we all think it looks better (based on our high fidelity wireframes).
Then we split into two teams for the day. My team continued refactoring the code on our front end to add authentication with supabase. It was slow going but we made some good progress.
The second team worked on making the savings page of our app look more fun with icons and colors.
We also had the opportunity to hear from two companies that are hiring for roles that we can apply for when we finish the bootcamp. One of them is hosting a hackathon next week for potential applicants. Seru!
High Fidelity Wireframe dark mode
Today's Progress : Today we agreed on the name of our app: frumo (short for frugal money).
My pairing partner and I started working on the dark mode version of our app. I enjoyed learning how to use Tailwind CSS for the first time.
We also prepared and gave a presentation to the coaches and other teams in Group A summarizing what we accomplished this week.
Sprint goals week 3 and accomplishments:
Savings page with features added to make it more fun:
Today's Progress : I spent most of today with my pairing partner updating the code so that our app runs by default in dark mode and the dark mode matches our high fidelity wireframe. It was a lot of grunt work but the end result looks good. It also helped me to get more familiar with the interworking of the code on the front end, Tailwindcss, and Figma. We also tried adding a celebration animation to the app for when a goal is achieved to make the app more fun.
Another pairing group from our team worked on the landing page. The third pairing group from our team continued working on the savings page.
At the end of today, the team decided that I should be the scrum leader for the rest of our time working together. I served as the scrum leader our first week and then we started changing to a new scrum leader every two days. Even though half the team initially weren't keen on being a scrum leader, we thought everyone should have the chance to lead because it would be a good experience. It was also interesting to see people's different leadership styles.

Today's Progress :
As the scrum leader today, I ran the daily stand-up and end-of-the day retrospective. That evening, one of my teammates sent me a message which boosted my confidence. They said,
“Hey Stephanie, I think you did a fantastic job leading the team today! You kept the stand-ups on point and I think we were a lot more clear and productive thanks to it!”
It was a surprise to receive their message and their encouraging words made my day.
We paired off into three teams today with tasks to complete. My partner and I worked on making the app responsive so that you can view it on mobile phones as well.
By Friday we have to prepare a short video introducing our project, create a new YouTube account for our team, and upload the video to this account. Therefore, I started preparing the PowerPoint presentation and embedding a demonstration video of our app into it.
Today's Progress :
I had a fun day today participating in my first hackathon for a potential employer. It's the first step to apply for a junior software developer role at this company. I was put in a group of four and we were given four hours to design and create a web app to promote sustainability to individuals and software development project teams. We also had to prepare and give a 5 minute presentation to a panel of interviewers from the company about our app.
Throughout the day, we were each pulled out at different times to meet one to one with someone from the company for a casual interview. I enjoyed my conversation with the person who interviewed me and learned a lot more about the company. All in all, it was a great experience. I had never worked with the three people in my group but we worked well together and the interviewers said that our presentation was really good.
Today's Progress :
Today was the last day to work on our app. It was a flurry of activity and stress but we got through it. The main things we worked on were:

Celebrating the completion of our final project!
Today's Progress :
Today I took on a 6 kyu Shopping List kata on CodeWars. First, I wrote a plan in plain English. I did something differently today though. Once I'd written the plan, I worked backwards. I looked at the best solutions and then wrote code to solve it. I did it in steps, first writing the code to solve the simplest part of the kata. For the next step, I wrote the code to include any discounts and buy one get one free deals on the products. Throughout I wrote comments explaining each line of code. I did all of it in a private repo in js files and tested them in JS Console.

Today's Progress :
Continuing on from yesterday, today I wrote code to test the solutions that I wrote yesterday. I initialised a Node.js project and installed Jest as a dependency. Then I created the test files, wrote the tests, and ran the tests ( npm test ). Loved seeing those green pass test results!
Today's Progress : Today we worked on preparing and rehearsing our presentation for the School of Code demo day.
Today's Progress : I worked with one of my Frugal Fanatics teammates this morning to write some end to end tests to test our app using Cypress. It was really fun to explore testing with Cypress. We hadn't done it since week 6 of the 16 week bootcamp.
Today's Progress :
Today we shared our frumo app to the School Of Code's partner companies who are looking to hire talented junior developers. Our team had the chance to share our frumo app with 12 people from 9 different companies. Their responses blew me away! Here are a few quotes:
"Awesome idea"
"The best presentation I've seen all day. Very professional"
"Shout out to the gamification of savings"
"Amazing app"
"Awesome presentation"
"Really useful"
"Makes dealing with money more digestible for non-financial people"
"Looks fantastic"
"Luar biasa"
"The dashboard is beautiful"
"Really good looking app"
"Looks really impressive. Very professional."
My personal favourite quote for the day though was:
"Anyone can learn to code with enough time. How you work with people and your communication skills are much harder to learn."
It gives me high hopes as I continue learning how to code even after my days at the wonderful School Of Code are done. I am incredibly grateful to the School Of Code for choosing me, from among the 4000 applicants, to have the opportunity to attend their fantastic bootcamp. I have been stretched beyond measure and learned more than I ever thought possible these last four months. I can't wait to keep learning and coding!
