This is a list of practice apps that can be used to build a portfolio. Each one has a list of technologies used, links any relevant blog posts/videos, as well general difficulty from a React development perspecitve. The apps are listed in no particular order, but are grouped by level of difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced).
These projects assume foundational knowledge of React, CSS, and asynchronous JavaScript.
Action Step #1: Establish a shareable calendar (like Google Calendar) and block out time on your calendar now to adhere to these goals. Be prepared to show this calendar to your instructors during your portfolio review.
Action Step #2: Backwards plan for your big goal. What is your cut-off for ending the job search? When do you want to receive and sign an offer by?
For this assignment, you'll be reintroduced to Promises and then write your own!
Asynchronous code is everywhere in JavaScript, and Promises are a tool that enable us to work with asynchronous code in a manageable way. You've probably consumes promises before, most likely when you used the fetch API, but how are they working under the hood. With fetch, you most likely used something like this for a GET request:
fetch('http://www.some-api/users')
Describe the problem or feature in addition to a link to the issues. Delete any content that doesn't apply.
This mod I made an effort to connect with my peers more and be more vocal about group sessions and reviewing code. I also wanted to focus on my ability to explain code and understand conditional logic at a higher level. This was fostered by my willingness to pair with the mod below us and attend IronFE sessions with the two mods above us. JavaScript logic was something I struggled with before heading to Turing and I feel as though I have a solid, fundamental understanding of the ins-and-outs of basic JS, which has allowed me to more quickly adopt subset languages, such as React.
