Fixed some code on this page and added a downloadable portfolio of my
recent design work. For the past month or so I've been learning
Javascript intensively, both on the front-end and the back-end. The
latter is very complex to me but the more I get into it, it gets more
interesting and I think it really helps me get a fuller picture of
what I'm dealing with.
I've been trying to get a clear understanding of how things function
today on the server-side and there's a lot to catch up with.
REST arhitecture, JWT, serverless computing just to name a few
concepts. There are many learning resources available online but I
find it's not so easy to find an article or tutorial that explains
things well. What works best for me is combining multiple resources
and writing my own notes, but I will say that
DigitalOcean
and Medium
usually have really good, beginner-friendly articles that explain
things thoroughly.
So lately I've been working on a few designs in Figma. I like it a lot as it is a very powerful and easy to use tool. You can see them in the Portfolio section and on my Dribble profile.
