100 Days of Code: Day 46
Went back over the sections in my VueJS course that covered styling with CSS and took notes of how each area worked. I then attempted to complete the assignment practicing using CSS styling with Vue.
Sadly I wasn’t able to complete the assignment. This one is probably the most difficult assignment of my course so far, since it didn’t just cover using styles to change the page, but also involved using everything I’ve learned in this module. I didn’t realize how much I’ve forgotten during the time I took to mourn Stan Lee’s death, and didn’t know what I really needed to do to complete the assignment.
I noted down the way the instructor completed the assignment, and he also mentioned there are multiple way to reach the same solution so I don’t have to do it exactly the way he did, and noted down how he worked through each section to get to his solution.
I learned a few things from this. First, I need to stop taking such long breaks from coding. It’s hurting me in the long run and makes things harder as I progress through the class. Second, I need to re-watch all the videos in this module and understand how to use directives to bind information to the HTML template. Third, I need to see if I can find a resource that lets me practice using Vue outside of the class examples. I think a lot of my trouble is coming from lack of practice outside of the class examples. It’s times like this I wish I had a book for Vue that was set up like my old C# book — tons of examples with source code to show you a variation of the answer.
But I’ll get it figured out. Vue is still a LOT easier than React so I’m not worried about being lost for too long. ^_^
