I landed a job! It took much longer than I expected and it took a lot more work than I thought I was going to have to put in, but I finally did it.
Lately I have been working with Vue a decent amount, and I have really grown to love how simple it is. I have also begun to work some with Vuetify which is a popular design framework for Vue, and I just want to highlight a recent project I built with Vue/Vuetify and point out some cool things.
I like using the Gmail web interface more than any desktop email client, and I also like not having a copy of all of my emails on my hard drive which happens with most desktop email clients. BUT, I hate having Gmail just being another tab in my Chrome window. It drives me crazy, and because of that I have experimented with many desktop clients, but none of them look, feel, or operate as good as the web interface.
While I have definitely been getting a bit stir crazy during this stay-at-home order (you can only go on so many walks around the same neighborhood), I have used this time to try to learn a lot more skills. I have started some projects and found some great resources for learning.
After I finished Flatiron School, I thought the only way to implement an API was to implement a RESTful API. I was wrong. I knew there were some older less used APIs like SOAP, but I had no idea there was anything that was newer. Then I started working on a community project, and when I looked at the server code I had no idea what was going on. The reason was because the project, like a lot of new projects was using GraphQL.
