How am I feeling about this right now? Mad! Mad as a hatter that is! There are so many things that I must do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am building this project using a SERN stack (Sequelize, Express, React, Node). I was almost going to go the MERN (Mongo, Express, React, Node) route but, after doing some reviewing and comparing Sequelize to Mongo, I decided that SERN was the way to go for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, that didn\u2019t make it any easier. I have been understanding everything pretty well throughout the whole program. I have been awful at turning in any assignments since module 4 because I have been concentrating on this capstone. I want to be able to get as much of this capstone complete as I possibly can before I have to present it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where is that taking me? Falling, falling, falling down a rabbit hole. I have some many things that I need to tie in and connect. I can see them. I grab for them. Yet, I am continually falling down the rabbit hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take today for instance, I was finally able to write out the code for my database. It was not an easy task at first but, I went back to what I know works for me. Whiteboard! Whiteboard has been my lifesaver. Today, I used it to layout my database models so I could see them. I also tried to state how one button would function so that I can create those functions, calls in my code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?resize=1024%2C498&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"84\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.kethorne.com\/?attachment_id=84\" class=\"wp-image-84\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?resize=1024%2C498&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?resize=768%2C373&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?resize=150%2C73&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/70D89AD0-788C-4A8B-A8F2-8390BE4C7E00.jpeg?w=3240&amp;ssl=1 3240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?resize=1024%2C498&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"83\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.kethorne.com\/?attachment_id=83\" class=\"wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?resize=1024%2C498&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?resize=300%2C146&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?resize=768%2C373&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?resize=150%2C73&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?w=2160&amp;ssl=1 2160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/C4C30611-92B5-4A24-91E0-94C14FE08615.jpeg?w=3240&amp;ssl=1 3240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hooray! I got the database code done. Now, let me try to implement some of this HTML code into this React app. Do I have any idea what I am about to embark upon? Not a chance! I start out with what I think will be something small. Something that I can handle, I start with the navbar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I copy some code from my HTML file and move it into the React app of my final version. Thinking okay this can\u2019t be too difficult, I can do this, right? The reactstrap and bootstrap pages are up in my browser so I can reference them quickly. Almost there, I have something that I think might actually work. The moment of truth comes and I start up my server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do I get? An ENORMOUS amount of&#8230;&#8230;you guessed it, ERRORS! Great, what am I going to do now? The one thing that the instructors have been telling us from day one. Start with the first error and work your way down form there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2E12F31E-D95C-4B33-9665-5AB7E2D778E8.png?resize=225%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"92\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.kethorne.com\/?attachment_id=92\" class=\"wp-image-92\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2E12F31E-D95C-4B33-9665-5AB7E2D778E8.png?w=225&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/2E12F31E-D95C-4B33-9665-5AB7E2D778E8.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A6E1E467-2BCD-4604-A786-C3CE30248FCF.jpeg?resize=500%2C426&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"93\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.kethorne.com\/?attachment_id=93\" class=\"wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A6E1E467-2BCD-4604-A786-C3CE30248FCF.jpeg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A6E1E467-2BCD-4604-A786-C3CE30248FCF.jpeg?resize=300%2C256&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kethorne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/A6E1E467-2BCD-4604-A786-C3CE30248FCF.jpeg?resize=150%2C128&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I manage to get some of the errors fixed only to create new ones. At this point in my day, I have had enough. Time to walk away from this project for a while and do something else. Tomorrow is another day with more errors in my future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will I have this project running in 3 weeks? I haven\u2019t a clue but, I sure am going to try my damndest! I have a lot to accomplish, yet, I am not willing to give up so easy. I have learned so much in the past 21 weeks that sometimes I think it\u2019s all a dream. Choosing to become a coder, a developer, a full stack developer, was one of the best choices I have made in my career path. I may be late to the game but, I am going to come out on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So my friends, I will see you in 3 weeks with another snippet of my adventure in this learning curve of coding. I hope you continue to follow me after this adventure of coding boot camp is over and I move onto the next adventure in coding. What will that be you might ask? Why, a job of course!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are 3 weeks left in the program and it will soon be time to present this capstone.
