Hello, World!
As my first senior capstone class zooms past the halfway mark, I’m thrilled to share the exciting journey of my first major venture into mobile development through our crowd-sourced travel planner app. Before this class, the world of mobile app development was uncharted territory for me. Now, I’m learning React Native and built my first React application! Working with databases isn’t new to me, but integrating them into a mobile app is, so that’s something I’ve working on/learning. I’m looking forward to continuing the progress next term.
This class has been a fantastic introduction to industry-like projects, providing a perfect mix of learning and hands-on experience without the pressure of a high-stakes job.
A life hack that’s been a game changer for me this term: step away from the screen! If you’re stuck on a tricky bit of code, staring at it longer won’t help. Trust me, taking a break can miraculously clear your mind and bring that ‘eureka’ moment much faster.
On the drama front, my latest screen obsessions are Dune: Prophecy, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking, and the new Wicked movie. I just can’t stop singing “Defying Gravity” and “Popular”! Both shows and the movie have been wonderful surprises, offering captivating stories that are the perfect way to unwind after a coding session. Which brings me to another life hack I’ve been relying on: swapping the computer screen for the TV screen. There’s nothing like a comfort movie or show to hit the reset button.
