My first post about my learning journey as a web developer.

I have decided to write a blog to keep track of my journey after graduating from Northcoders Bootcamp in June. 

For the past three weeks, I have been focussing my work on the front end, mainly learning how to code react apps using Hooks. I am especially pleased that I have learnt how to use useReducer and useContext hooks for state management and to prevent prop drilling. I have implemented this knowledge by using both hooks in a simple paint app.

I have also learnt more about CSS and SASS. For CSS, I have learnt many new properties such as display and position and pseudo-selectors before and after. For SASS, I have learnt that SASS is a CSS pre-processor. I have learnt how to install SASS, how to use functions and how to nest. There are still more I intend to learn about SASS such as mixins and partials but I will KIV them for now.

Using my newly acquired CSS knowledge, I have modified the front end design of the projects and sprints that I coded during my time at Northcoders. I have finally also got my Portfolio website up and running. 

From now on, I have decided to focus on learning about serverless technology mainly AWS. My first mini project is to code a simple to do app using AWS. I started on it yesterday and managed to set up AWS Amplify and used Cognito for authentication. I figured out how to customise AWS Cognito's theme to fit the color scheme of my web app.
