When migrating from vanilla JavaScript to React, I regretted the loss of the DOM manipulation skills I worked hard to develop during the JavaScript module of the Flatiron curriculum. However, while working on my final React/Redux project, I was able to learn how to conditionally render using state and the ternary operator in my render() as a way to continue to manipulate the DOM without having to refresh the page.
A journal is a must-have for when undertaking any serious endeavor. Among the journals I personally keep, my notebook for the FlatIron Software Engineering program is a living journal of my progress through the world of coding. When I first walked through the doors of a professional securities trading jobs, the first thing we learned on the first day of trading was how to keep a trade journal. I personally was never satisfied with any of the electronic journals for logging trades that were available. Therefore, when my final project at FlatIron came around, I felt had the skills to develop the trade journal that I’ve always wanted.
