Setting up Github Journal and updating Portfolio
Unfortunately, I had a migraine, so I was not able to update my portfolio. However, I did finish setting up the GitHub journal and have created an alarm to remind me to update the journal with my progress. Note: the goals for the end of the year will be benchmarked at the end of the year (1 month or so) and will add a section called "What I Learned" that will make it easy for others to see the skills I have picked up for each project/course that I complete.
I also downloaded Visual Studio 2022 and will begin to familiarize myself with it. I will need to start reading the changes that involve the .NET 6.0 release and all the changes that came with it. I came up with project ideas and added them to the checklist. The first project, a journal that will help keep track of my daily progress and possibly update GitHub, will showcase a simple front-end desktop application. This project will showcase that I know how to use pure C# to design something beneficial. The second project is a recreation of my backend C# hotel booking application. Except this project will have the ability to allow users to use and check to see their room number and what type of room with which commodities they have. Management/hotel personnel will have access to change bookings, rooms, update customer information, and create invoices. This project is not a third-party booking service: it is software designed for hotels and their customers.
Revised the Previous entry
Today was cleaning day so i couldnt get much done, but i did fix the grammer issues within my last post to at least push something for activity. also i have a feeling i wont be able to get much done until college is over, but ill still try my best to start working on some projects to add to my portfolio.
Creating wireframes for projects and working on python course
Created wireframes for the upcoming project along with working on the python course and completely a section. one more section then ill be done with unit 2, I will try to work on projects but i am still trying to experiment with .NET 6 WPF wireframe and form. it is very different compared to Windows forms, and im still getting used to the new UI.
Meetings and working on TestLabs and python
Finished labs for testout, so i will begin to study more so i can get my A+ certification to boost my resume and will also work on python course to hopefully get it done by the end of the month. i will also need to start planning things out for the month of december as i am going out of town for the last week of it. i will continue to update the journal and code however due to limited internet access i feel it will be difficult to update to Github but we will see.
i am also looking into joining a coding discord
python
Finding it hard to update the journal daily, with the semester almost done theres a lot of work to be done. Hopefully when break comes i can focus more on programming. I might end up deleting all of this as this was not the intention of the journel. it was more suppose to be about my progress however progress has be slow.
adding comments into hotel booking application and creating more mock ups for the upcoming projects.
I added comments to the hotel booking application (back end) Note: this is different then the upcoming project as the newer project will be a full stack application. the mock ups need color and more testing before i start hard coding everything, i also need to figure out functionality and where everything will be. im still stuck on two items, the clock in feature and the statistics feature.
trying to put more effort into github
so uh, a year has gone by since i last updated... whoops. my new years resolution is to contribute more to github and make more projects and really start pushing myself to do and be better. so heres to a new year 🍻
first thing on the list is taking screenshots of the hotel booking application and working on the read me. next updating my portfolio to include new things and change the style up a bit. last im going to start contributing to open sources, which im having quite a bit of anxiety just thinking about it but i need to push through it. on the bright side, i did finish the python course.
updated the readme for the hotel application
added screen shots to the read me of the hotel application and fleshed it out a bit. going to start brain storming project ideas to build and add more things to the github. also need to update portfolio, take a ui/ux course, and make more projects. setting up monthly check points to track my progress and making sure i become more active with programing. (might make a page for monthly goals and update it every month)
looked up project ideas and prepared for the new semester
not much of a day, mainly just brain storming and thinking of desgin ideas while preparing for a new semester starting. (end me.)
competed leet code problems and update github page
worked on leet code problems:
- Duplicate Integer - completed without looking at solution
- Is Anagram - completed without looking at solution
dont worry about me being abscent for a year, college life is rough.
