The UI framework our team chose was React. As mentioned in my prior blog posts, before I enrolled in OSU. I had spent thousands of hours self-teaching myself programming and web development. Fortunately for me, React happens to be included in those long hours of self-teaching. I taught myself React back in 2018, when I was getting very little responses to job applications. The goal at the time was to strengthen my resume and eventually get a job. It was interesting to review my React notes from 4 years ago and seeing the massive improvements that I had made in programming and technical knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/flutter-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/flutter-1.png 937w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/flutter-1-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/flutter-1-768x378.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with changes in the framework and 4 years since I last used this technology, I was able to quickly get up to speed with React and its ecosystem. I believe some of it has to do with the CS 492 elective I took last quarter. Although the Flutter SDK taught in that class is for mobile development. Similar concepts like 1-way data flow, composition over inheritance and props were something that unintentionally refreshed my memory on React. I highly recommend that course to anyone that wants to learn about cross-platform mobile development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/typescript-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/typescript-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/typescript-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/typescript-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/5434\/files\/2022\/04\/typescript.png 1240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One last thing to add is, I am currently using typescript for the Capstone Project.  Although this is a language that I&#8217;ve never used before, I am pleasantly surprised with how gentle the learning curve has been. Although it can be difficult to always define data types for your input and output. <strong>(What is the data type for an event?!?!<\/strong>) A couple of minutes of Google search always seems to come up with an answer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I started building out the front-end for the capstone project.
