Reflection #3

Open BrysonLingle opened 1 year ago

BrysonLingle commented 1 year ago
  1. The api went well, once I found a good api it was overall pretty easy to implement. One major lesson I can say I took away from this project is use all the time given to me. I finished and all but I had extra time that I could've used to make the app that much better.
  2. I like working at my own pace and not trying to keep up with someone else or wait on someone else. This is just personal thing but I seem to focus and work a lot better in the afternoon compared to the morning.
  3. The tailwindcss was a huge pain. It was my first time and I had problems in my code. I had to go into settings to fix certain things.
  4. Well it was my first time implementing tailwind into a app so I was ready for there to be problems. I think the second time around will go more smoothly. Hopefully I can just use regular CSS from here on out haha.

Project3 - Passing

Great insights Bryson, knowing when you do your best work is key to knowing where you might want to work. Consider flexible/remote work if you want even more alignment between your natural dev cycle a the expected work time of the company.

As for css - a framework on your resume (and a demonstration of proficiency) in your portfolio is a must, in a professional environment (versus personal projects) you will likely bet working with a framework like Tailwind or MUI, and design decisions will be dictated by a acceptance criteria of your designer/project manager. Not a lot of wiggle room there.

Learning to find ways to optimize your workflow will be essential to standing out and finding successful strategies in the job search. LMK if you notice there are specific blockers to your continued productivity and we can discuss strategies/hacks.

Some other considerations: Homepage slider could include slight offset so folks know to scroll or populate scroll animation on load Unclear if the team details ‘ Active yes / all-star no is conditional or fixed CSS?

Seems to be missing content, would definitely consider researching other APIs to add supplemental content (like sports team history, fun facts about a team, etc). Trivia api’s might be a good place to look.
