For our project, we are using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Bootstrap on the frontend, and Directus for the backend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am new to learning TypeScript, and it has been an adjustment. JavaScript is where I am more comfortable, but I can see the similarities, such as managing the state and creating components. It seems like TypeScript adds an extra layer of type safety, which is nice. I am starting to get the hang of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next.js is also something new I am learning. I appreciate that it eliminates the need to use a separate Express server, making development simpler and straightforward. One thing that took me a minute to figure out was how routes must be named consistently and placed with the pages own directory – a different approach than I am used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My responsibilities are on the frontend, so I haven’t used Directus much yet. From my understanding, it is a nice and easy way to manage data via an API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as favorites go, I really enjoy working with C# and JavaScript. C# is powerful for backend development, and JavaScript allows me to build dynamic and interactive frontends. My least favorite would have to be C++, I know it is powerful, but I find the memory management to be less enjoyable and the syntax feels less clean compared to other languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, my learning experience has been enjoyable, and I’m excited to see how our project turns out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
