Hopefully as it becomes more frequently used this will change, but for now I think React wins thanks to the vast amount of online support available for just about every error you could come across.įinal project block.CODA, or geCOdeert DAgafschrift is a bank statement or ‘Coded statement of account’ filetype used in Belgium. Every time I hit a problem with Flutter that the docs couldn't help me with, it took sometimes hours to arrive upon a solution. The Flutter docs are really good too, but you just can't beat React when it comes to the community support. Dart is very similar to JS and Flutter looks pretty straightforward if you like OOP. I had heard so much about Flutter coming into this course and was really excited to try it out. The form validation sprint was one of the most surprisingly fun days in the course so far and no longer do I sigh when I hear the word form.įlutter looks great, but there is still a lack of online community. Once you add the functionality into a form though it becomes much more challenging and interesting.
I have to admit that when I have made websites in the past, largely just using HTML & CSS, I have found forms to be quite a lot of work, with very little reward.

I got the feeling that only experienced React devs are getting the most out of it terms of re-usable components and I am certain my code will become much more DRY and efficient as my understanding of React increases.įorms can be awesome. The more re-usable you make your components though, the more you are going to rely on passing props to them and of course the more files you will end up with. Also when developers want to be able to put sites together at speed, re-using components is really efficient. The use of components just makes loads of sense when it comes to a site being extendable. React was lots of fun to work with as it makes it much easier to produce really responsive websites. React can be as complicated as you choose. I am sure that once I have a huge developer’s screen as part of my setup that this will be less of an issue, but if you are working from a single 13" screen, there is a lot of hitting. The frontend experience can be somewhat more 'janky', often having to hop between screens and dealing with 'hot-reloading' that sometimes just doesn't reload. One of the wonderful things about unit testing is it all happens in one place: You can have test files and utils files open simultaneously in VS code and the whole process is smooth and easy. Teaching is the best way to master a subject though, so winners all round. This became clear during frontend when myself and Juliette (the queen of CSS) were called upon on numerous occasions to provide impromptu CSS support in the form of zoom chats. I have to admit that I am one of the few devs I know who actually enjoys working with CSS! I am not sure why, but I suspect it's because I have a pretty good understanding of the box model and tend to be able to get the results I want pretty quickly. Frontend was much more familiar territory for me, so it started slow and easy, but soon changed! Making sites properly reactive and managing state can be challenging and frontend soon started to look in many ways trickier than backend, albeit in much more comfortable surroundings.Įveryone seems to find CSS 'fiddly'. Once I got my head around it though, everything seemed to slip into place and the last week was a breeze. Backend block had started out really difficult, with plenty of new concepts to grasp and had taken about two weeks before I understood what i was doing. Those of you who are particularly vigilant 👀 might have noticed there was quite a gap between that last entry and this, but I am finally getting close to catching up 😏įrontend can be more complicated than backend. 👨💻 The pressure to get a job is coming fast and there are projects to finish for that all important shiny portfolio website. The pace really started to escalate in boot camp as the workload began to ramp-up leading towards final project phase. All finished off with fresh herbs 🌿 from our vertical herb garden. One stir fry with some of our own carrots 🥕 and some of Alys' (my youngest daughter) peas, which are definitely the most successful crop this year.
Late July/early August are when thing really start to hot-up in the garden 🌞 🌵 Everything is fruiting and we finally had first taste of our hard work. Hey again 👋 it's been too long! I had been looking forward to frontend block since the course began and it didn't disappoint, although the late blog entry probably goes to show just how busy thing started to get!
