Hi everyone,
Why am I doing this?: As an accountability mirror for myself and to all you guys.
Who am I?: A software dev with 2+yr experience by day, dabbling writer and voracious reader by night.
What is this whole blog series about?: Yes, this will be a blog series updated every night (mostly).
It is my way of journalling about what I did that day for my immediate goal, that is becoming a full stack developer in MERN Stack.
Current MERN skill-set level: 0.
So this may work as a beginner level guide, but in the meantime it will serve as a beacon for me and others who are treading the same or similar path, a constant motivation hit till we internalize working for our future every day.
Resources planned (Subject to modification):
For fundamentals:
- Algorithms and DS in JS by Steel colt in Udemy.
- Leet code for problem solving.
MERN stack:
- Modern Javascript bootcamp udemy course.
- Modern React with Redux udemy course.
- Freecodecamp for full stack code practice.
Project Ideas:
- Reader, an app based on React Native (based on Tinder's idea to swipe books based on data)
- Pokedex website using MERN.
- A blogging website with look, feel and sound of using an old school typewriter.
My current plan (Subject to modifications based on inputs from you guys and better skilled people):
- 1 hr meditation in the morning (Search about that + "Naval ravikant" keyword in YouTube), followed a by PPL workout.
- Office .
- 1 hr Algo DS course / practise in the lunch break.
- Office.
- Chores.
- 2 hr of JS course/ practise.
Timeline: The plan is to complete the theory and projects in 5 months as of now, starting tomorrow.
Note: I understand the number of hours is just a vanity metric, but for now it's a good way to measure what I did and we can shift to things completed or problems solved as metrics as we proceed.
What to expect from my posts:
- A quick update on what I studied/ practised and explanations of any problem or logic if I encountered any.
- What books I'm reading daily and YT/ podcasts/articles I find interesting.
- My thoughts on various issues, mental state, and overall journey.
PS: I will blog every night for most part, I might not, sometimes.
