This is my try at FSO2022, first commit at 20/04/2022

Since FSO is fond of anecdotes, I'll drop one too, I've been reading "The Pragmatic Programmer" lately so:

"Stop quoting laws at us. We carry swords,"  - Pompey

• I was used to video-coruses before FSO:
  • At first reading is boring, but you eventually get used to it.
• Some old roadmaps -unvisited-:
  • Mahara-Tehc
  • Frontend Mentor
  • TheOdinProject
• For parts 4 and 5 and possibly later some I moved practices out of the repo when solving them, them moved them back to the repo again after finishing the part, they have their .git files renamed and ignored.
• To revise GraphQL, not all problems are solved well.

Some metrics:

• Stopped at: Part 13 - Finished, Remaining parts: part10.
• Total Time: ~289.5H.

What to do after FSO? - Mostly orederd

• Since nearing the end of Part7 I am yet again presented with an ever irking question, "What are my next steps?", particulary after finishing FSO, and its project.
  • More backend... how?
    • Take a look at FCC
    • Learn Nest.js
    • Read Node.js Documentation?
    • Read this book
    • egFWD... again?
  • Probably need to finish this algorithms course.
  • Database course?
    • Udemy - Hussien Nasser
    • CMU
    • FCC - Relational Database
  • More Cloud-y stuff? e.g. AWS
    • egFWD
  • Securtiy?
    • Cyper Security MOOC
    • FCC - Information Security
  • Networks course? (Probably No.)
  • More DevOps? (Probably No.)
    • DevOps with Docker
    • DevOps with Kubernetes
  • Micro services? or different architectures at that.
  • Mentorship/Internship/Job search?
  • Open source contribution?

What technologies did I learn so-far, during the time of FSO?

• (Functional) ReactJS
  • State maganement: Redux, Hooks, ?GraphQL?
• MongoDB (NoSQL)
• PostgreSQL
• NodeJS (Express)
  • Authentication using JWT.
• TypeScript
• CI/CD (Github Actions)
• Containers (some Docker).
• Testing:
  • Jest (Integration Testing (API), Unit testing for React)
  • Cypress (E2E).
• Deployment using Heroku (welp that didn't age well?)
• Deployment using fly.io
• Deployment using Deta
• GraphQL (Client and server), needs more time though.
• Git & Github (Unrelated to FSO).
• What to study/revise during/after FSO (Technology wise, not science wise)?
  • GraphQL.
  • Websocket.
  • How to API-testing with other stuff than Jest?
  • ...
  • Make projects.
