Some days, I've got a fire lit underneath me, and it feels like I can plug away at my learning for hours on end. And on other days (like today), I'm just plain tired or unmotivated, and I don't get a whole lot done.
I hit a wall this evening, both physically and mentally. When my bootcamp lesson transitioned into self-guided learning (read these docs and figure out how this works), my brain shut down. That was a pretty good sign that I should do something else for a while and come back to that project when I'm feeling fresher. It won't be tonight, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be ready to tackle it.
- I am incorporating databases into my projects now, using sqlite and Flask-SQLAlchemy. I constructed a simple-looking 'Top 10 Movies' web app that uses API calls to search for movies and get their details, and a flip-card interface for displaying movie posters, overviews, and user ratings.
- I am back to working on my Blog Capstone Project, and in addition to adding a backing database, it will also make use of CKEditor to allow a user to add styling to their blog post.
- Little or no AWS progress this week. My goal is to try to make more progress this week, an hour at a time. It's still quite interesting to me, but my 100 Days Of Code bootcamp usually wins when it comes to deciding what I want to work on. I think this is mostly because I am producing real projects with it. I'd like to find a way to incorporate some of those into my AWS learning as well.
