As my time at Flatiron School winds down, I thought it would be appropriate to reflect on our final module as a whole. As I mentioned in my previous posts, our fourth module covered plain JavaScript, and there are times when you might find the code difficult to follow. This is where React and Redux come into play.
Making the transition from Rails to JavaScript was challenging at time. Although there are many shared concepts, the syntax proved to be maddening occasionally. I want to share two particular instances in the hopes that I can help others avoid similar struggles.
During my Rails assessment, I was asked to create a seach bar on one of my index view pages. This didn’t seem too hard until I tried to search from another table that has an association.
If you have coded with Sinatra, I would suppose you have seen the dreaded “Sinatra doesn’t know this diddy” page followed by a suggested block of code. I saw this page more often than I care to admit. This is only my second project as a Flatiron student, but it proved to be more challenging than the first.
