MY FLAT IRON JOURNEY

THIS WAS A deep journey where i was able to cross the finish line. Now crossing the finish line was no easy task, it took a lot of hard work and dedication. We came from learning about Command Line Interface to full on front end and back end configurations. We became obsessed with the bigger picture so the goals changed from getting basic user interactions and engagements to actually controlling what each form intakes and where we route that user submitted data.

LEARNING ABOUT THE FORM

The ingredients to a good form

The concept of a basic form was a tough process for me to grasp because of the individual moving parts, for example each field in a form must be handled in a unique way due to that its data that we must keep secure when adding user submitted data in our data base’s back end. That was a good concept to understand when we talk about managing our database.

This is one big picture broken into smaller puzzle pieces.

The process of React is an important one when we talk about front end and back end, i love the concept that we have to mimic whats going on with the DOM using the virtual or shadow dom. The key here is to manipulate the Dom based off whats needed to changed at that moment and for this Javascript comes in good hands.

each item from the form after submitted.

For the likes functionality we had to use hooks which helped us make the likes button function without using the backend to save it but all front end.

The end of Flatiron but the start of my software engineering career has just begun.
