Day 15 of Posting My Tech Journey (Oct 4, 2024)

Hey everyone,

It’s been another productive day! I’ve finished up the homepage for the SCCMA website and expanded my knowledge on Java integration with MuleSoft.

SCCMA Website: I worked on three components—infinitely looping cards, a "Learn More" video section, and a map embedding feature. It gave me a solid chance to sharpen my React, HTML, and CSS skills.

Java: I dived into the fundamentals of Java, focusing on its class-based structure and object-oriented approach. Tomorrow, I’ll be moving forward with integrating Java into Mule applications.

This is a simple code that shows java class based structure, and object oriented behavior.

// Define a class called Car
class Car {
    // Properties (attributes) of the class
    String model;
    String color;
    int year;

    // Constructor to initialize the Car object
    public Car(String model, String color, int year) {
        this.model = model;
        this.color = color;
        this.year = year;
    }

    // Method to display car details
    public void displayDetails() {
        System.out.println("Car Model: " + model);
        System.out.println("Car Color: " + color);
        System.out.println("Manufacturing Year: " + year);
    }
}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Creating an object (instance) of the Car class
        Car myCar = new Car("Tesla Model 3", "Red", 2024);
        
        // Calling the method to display details of the car
        myCar.displayDetails();
    }
}

When we run this code, it will output the following:

Car Model: Tesla Model 3
Car Color: Red
Manufacturing Year: 2024

Lots of exciting progress to share, and there’s more to come—stay tuned!

Day 16 of Posting My Tech Journey (Oct 5, 2024)
Today was another productive day focused on various tech areas:

Java Integration with Mule:
I've been practicing how to integrate Java with Mule. Since Mule serves as the main class for a Java program, it’s commonly used to invoke Java components. I worked on invoking static and non-static methods using Mule’s Invoke, Invoke-Static, Validation-Type, and New components.

Building the Donation Page for SCCMA:
I built a donation form for the SCCMA website and will be integrating payment functionality next. It's exciting to see this project take shape and contribute to a good cause.

Research on SharePoint and Power Platform:
I spent time researching the power of SharePoint and Power Platform, focusing on their potential to automate tasks. These Microsoft 365 tools are versatile, and I’m looking forward to learning and applying them to streamline workflows in future projects.

That's a wrap for today! There’s still a lot to explore, so stay tuned as we continue to grow together!

You're a Startup? 🙄

Here’s the thing: if what you’re trying to achieve in your life is uncertain and something new that will definitely add value to yourself and others, then you’re an entrepreneur, and your life is a startup.

Wait, what? Yeah, because that’s the definition of a startup, something uncertain that’s aiming to create value. So, let me ask you this. what’s the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of your life that you want to achieve? I am talking about you, physically and mentally . What are the uncertain things you want to try and test? What’s something you can do now just as a test?

As you work on modifying or even creating yourself, and as this self becomes a product to be "bought," you will sell yourself, others will "buy" into you, and you are also a service. You’re both a product and a service.

So, if you think that modifying and creating yourself feels highly uncertain, or you’re asking, "What if I fail?" and thinking it requires investment in yourself, well, guess what? You own a startup, and you are an entrepreneur.

But if you see it as a process, and not as uncertainty, that’s great! Just make sure you’re not stuck waiting, hoping that one day you’ll have everything you need, or that fear of failure holds you back. Because if you feel that way, you’re still uncertain, so go back to the beginning you’re a startup.

But either way, investing in yourself is something we all need to not only consider, but act on, "do it right now!"

Day 22 of Posting My Tech Journey (Oct 12, 2024)
It’s been a productive day filled with learning and hands-on practice! I focused on several key concepts today, including Git and GitHub, SSH, API keys, and resuming The Odin Project. Here’s a breakdown:

1- Git and GitHub:
As I continue my machine learning journey, I deepened my understanding of Git and GitHub, especially in collaborating with others. I’ve practiced several useful commands like:

git push  
git pull  
git push -u <branch>  
git rebase  
git fetch  
git remote update  
git log --oneline --all  
git show <commit>

and more.
I’m feeling more confident using Git and GitHub and am ready to apply this knowledge in real-world projects.

2- SSH and API Keys:
I learned about SSH (private and public keys) and API keys, and their significance for secure authentication. https://www.preveil.com/blog/public-and-private-key/#:~:text=In%20public%20key%20cryptography%2C%20every,using%20their%20matching%20private%20key this website provides an excellent explanation of SSH keys that helped me get a clearer picture of how they work.

3- Resumed The Odin Project (TOP):
I completed The Odin Project foundation course a month ago and have now resumed where I left off. Today, I covered Emmet and SVG and how to implement them in projects. There's still a lot to learn, so stay tuned for more updates as I continue progressing!

Day 23 of Posting My Tech Journey (Oct 13, 2024)
Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well. Today was another productive day ! I focused on exploring Git and GitHub further and took a well-deserved break. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Git and GitHub:
Continuing my machine learning journey, I deepened my understanding of Git and GitHub, particularly in collaboration. I practiced several useful commands, including:

* git rebase -i (with various options like):

- pick: Use the commit as is.
- squash: Combine this commit with the previous one and keep the commit messages.
- fixup: Combine this commit with the previous one, discarding the commit message.
* git commit -a

* git merge

and more.

I feel more confident using Git and GitHub and am excited to apply this knowledge in real-world projects.

2. Collaboration Concepts:
I also learned about pull requests, GitHub issues, merging, rebasing, and resolving conflicts, which are crucial for effective teamwork in development.

3. Taking a Break:
After a productive learning session, I took some time to relax and recharge. Balancing study and rest is essential for maintaining momentum in the journey!
There is more to come, stay tuned!
