I haven’t written since I started the blog a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been trying to figure out what to write, how to get into a cadence of making updates more regularly.

I started a project recently to try and learn python. In general, over the past few weeks I’ve:

• Started python project, a command line calculator
• Researched python web servers, chose + implemented Tornado
• Wrote a version of the calculator instead with vanilla js
• Made updates to kotlin book keeper app (check mark display in search results if book is already in your library)

Where can I go from here? I’ve been thinking a lot about what to do, how to plot things out. I know I need depth in interview prep, knowledge of cloud concepts, and projects to make me feel confident, but the right mix and combination has been difficult to nail down.

Some next steps.

For the python calculator, I think I’m going to make some modifications to this calculator in vanilla js, potentially rewrite the js using react, and then figure out how to deploy the project on AWS.

For the kotlin app, I just finished a feature where I display a check mark on a book title thumbnail in search results if it’s already in your library. I think the next feature I want to add the ability to edit certain book information in the detail page.

I will try to post again on 11/16/2022!
