Final Thoughts: What's The Point To Learn Web Develop?


I can't believe that I have finished the whole Web Develop Bootcamp course.

From Google Image


In this blog, I shared 80 key study notes about web develop which includes frontend and backend. Every note introduces the basic concepts of certain topics, and show the screenshots of codes, and explain each process.

I also shared some small project studies to implement all the related code together to make the learning more meaningful.

The learning process, for me, was not easy. I have to say it was so struggle. Sometimes I couldn't get the concept about the logical which made me very confused. Sometimes the code did't work in the server even though I typed the exactly the same codes as the course did.

Whenever the problem was happened, I couldn't sleep and couldn't eat.And this kind of issues had driven me crazy thousands of times.

At some points, I did want to give it up. It was just so hard for me. And my goal was not to become a developer, what's the point of learning it?


  • Have a Basic Understanding About IT Industry 
If I didn't take this course, I would never know about how internet work, what's the connection between different web develop languages, and how to build the entire web. Now, I got all those answers. 
  • Get To Know The Developer Work
When I heard someone is a developer, the first thing come to my mind is "OMG! They are unbelievable! They are so smart!". After I learned this course, I get to know it is not easy to do the web develop jobs. The process takes a lot times, and it requires a lot of efforts. 

Trust me, when I was writing code for only one hour, my eyes felt dry and super uncomfortable. My head felt heavy like holding a tons of stones. I can't image how those developer survive when they sit in front the computer whole day.

Now, if I see any developer, I would say:"Good Luck and Take Care!"
  • Won't Be Afraid To Read Code
When I worked in the company, I was always afraid to view the page source and find certain codes. I felt that I was reading something completely out of the earth. What were those tags? What were those code inside those tags? For me, it was just a messy.

After I learned these course, I was not afraid of inspect any page source. Even though they are still messy, I know what I am going to look for. It makes me feel that I did some impossible thing, and I feel proud of myself.
  • Be More Patient 
During the course, I followed the instructor to write the code and run the code. Unfortunately, it was not always processing the same way as the course did. This made me headache. I had to go back to review the code in each line to find the mistake. Sometimes it was misspelling; sometimes I forgot a simple space; and sometimes I forgot the quotes. 

Mistakes happened all the time. Even though I hate them, they do make me be more detail and more patient. 

No matter what, I feel so happy to complete this course and my goal! !

Intermediate Express.js: How To Add Styles & Partials in EJS File?

So far, we only have simple HTML tags and ejs tags in each ejs file. Every template page has no style at all. And the basic HTML header and footer are also missing. Today, I learned how to add styles and partials in ejs file. Link Style Step One: Touch a Separate CSS file I create a new directory "Style" under the "EJSDemo" directory, then I add a new CSS file "app.css" inside "Style" folder. Step Two: Add app.use(express.static()) in the app.js I add app.use(express.static("style")) in the "app.js". This will tell Express.js to serve the content of "Style" directory. Step Three: Write styles in CSS file I simple give body an orange background color and set text color to be grey. Step Four: Link to CSS file in the EJS file I just add <link> tag to link the "app.css" file on the top of the h1 tag in each ejs template. As the result, when I run the app and...

Intro to Backend: Is Browser The Only Place To Send HTTP Request?

Today,  I begin to learn the second part of web develop course: backend. Frontend is the stuff that we can see and interactive with, such as HTML, CSS, and JS. We can type our code, style our page, or write some function to make interaction. However, backend is everything else. For example, we type Target web address in the Internet Browser. As we hit "enter", there are a few steps to go through: 1. The HTTP request is sent to a particular server's IP address. 2. The server figures out what to send us 3. It sends a HTTP response back to us Those process we are hard to see, and it happens in less than one second. The instructor said that the browser is not the only place to send the HTTP request, and there are so many choices out there. In this learning course, we are going to use Postman App . Postman allows us to make HTTP requests and viewer responses. It is really for developers to understand how things are working or debug something. In the P...

Seven RESTful Routes You Should Know!

I have been followed the course to develop several app projects. They all follow the RESTful route pattern. Today, I learned many key points about RESTful and would like to share my study note here. What Is REST? REST stands for representational state transfer. I don't know what does this mean, but it is not important right now. You just need to know that REST is just a pattern for defining our routes. What's The Point Of REST? The important things for us is to define what REST is. REST is a way of mapping HTTP routes and CRUD functionality together. By the way CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Destroy. The point of REST is that we don't do whatever we want. Instead, we follow a pattern. It is also more reliable so that if we are interacting with a restful API, it follows a particular pattern. Seven RESTful Routes The course lists the seven route table. It just acts as a pattern that we can fill in the blanks when we develop our own App. screen...
