Work Plan 1/16/18

Overview

Build using and learn Twilio API Continue the Build Vinyl App using GraphQL as a database

Areas fo Focus

Project Description

A small size web app using the Twilio API (most likely a tutorial) to learn and demonstrate a level of comprehension in advance of applying for the Twilio apprenticeship. A web app where a community of record enthusiasts can review their favorite albums. The app will be called Vinyl.

Wireframes

I will at this time not be using the same wireframe for client side-view, that is until all of the backend GraphQL data is rendered at all.

Sample Data

Instead of PostgreSQL, I will use GraphQL to create models and seed data.

Final_Work_Plan.md

Work Plan 2/5/18

Overview

My last week at the Guild. I'll be working on making a final decision on my job offers and defining my portfolio with EVM/NEM/Blockchain work. I will also be studying Qtum Blockchain.

Areas fo Focus

• Negotiating Offers
• Studying QTum whitepaper
• Updating GitHub portfolio to display blockchain work.

Work Plan

• Tues - QTum whitepaper study.
• Wed - NEM reading/continue project.
• Thurs - Read QWeb3.js code .
• Fri - Make final decision on job (!).

Next/Solidity Project

A little pivot on the plans for 1/8/2018. I am diving into GraphQL first, and then will try Neo4j. Here is a repo for my warm up project for GraphQL implementation: https://github.com/pllearns/apollo-graphql-walkabout

Update. Looks like I'll need to revisit this project next week. I will replace the deliverable for vinyl with GraphQL, with 2 different projects: the hacker news clone with React-Apollo, and a starter vinyl with postgraphql.

👍 for the 1/22 work plan. congratulations and consider making a tiny presentation on what you learn about NEM and why you'd choose to use it. maybe you can give it to your team or at a meetup =)
