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! !

Express Study Notes: Five Steps To Develop My First Express App

In the last post, I shared my study note about one of the most important reason that Node is very popular is because Node has the largest package ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. Node's NPM, the package manager for Javascript, contains almost 200,000 packages which are centralized on the NPM website. And more importantly, NPM has a command line tool which help us to install packages really easily. The course instructor told us that we are going to learn Express.js to develop Apps in this course. screenshot for the Express.js.com homepage What is Express.js? Express.js is a web development framework. According to the course, framework is a bunch of code that someone else wrote just like a library is except when we use a framework, we have less control. The goal of using this framework is to make our development of APPs faster. Why do we use Express.js? 1. It is the most popular Node web development framework so far. 2. It is a very lightweight ...

GIT Study Note: Six Git Commands You Should Know!

What is Git? According to Git website , Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Basically, we can use Git to track all of changes and revert them back if we made mistakes. The version control system is a way for us to work with different versions of our code, so that we can save different features and make notes as we progress. It is also very useful for team collaboration. Six Git Command You Should Know 1. Git Init In our server, we need to create a "Git" directory and inside of "Git", we make another direcory "git_inro". Then, we add a file "app,js" in the "git_intro" folder. The first thing we need to run is "git init" . When we run git init, it will make a directory which is hidden called ".git". Wherever I run that git init command, it's going to track all of our changes. ...

Intro To Authentication: Three Useful Tools Will Make Everything Easier

Authentication is very important for both users and websites. It helps to keep users' information safe and also helps us to manage the accounts. Authentication is also complex because there is a lot of moving pieces that have to fit together in just the right way to make that work. The course introduce three tools to make authentication more quickly and safely. 1. Passport.js Passport.js will make our life easier and make our code shorter. It also helps to make implementation faster. Most importantly, it is used a lot in the real word. 2. Passport Local Passport Local is for username and password. It's about providing this entry point into all sorts of destinations. 3. Passport Local Mongoose This package will help us implement authentication with passport, and it's specially made to work with mongoose. We are also going to use these three tools into a Secret Page App project, which will show in next few posts.
