Week Two

• 17 September 2024
• weeknotes,
• learn in public

It has been two months since week one. A little embarassing, considering my main goal for taking weeknotes is to establish the habit. On the bright side, that means I could do better. Maybe experiment with different weeknote styles/formats until I find one that sticks.

Since I can't remember everything I did for the past two months, I will just mention the things that either stood out or those that are still fresh in my mind.

• Last week I finished Part 12 of Full Stack Open, which focuses on using Docker to containerize apps. I find the microservice architecture fascinating, and am currently reading Bootstrapping Microservices by Ashley Davis to learn more about it.

• Also last week, my colleagues and I started the Udemy course The Complete 2024 Web Development Bootcamp as part of an upskilling initiative at work. My strategy is to do the projects in each section first to test my knowledge, and only watch the videos if I encounter something I don't know. I save my course-related projects in this GitHub repo.
