So we’re going to take a bit of a detour this week. I’ve still been working on the Rails / React version of my fantasy hockey app, and I’ve got some cool stuff to say about that, but I’m also really excited to have an interview for a back end…

This week I made something of a reusable form for my Matchup class in my fantasy hockey app. I’ve been wanting to do something like this, but hadn’t really had the time to think it through during the course of the bootcamp. Pretty much the idea comes from Ruby on…

I started learning React Hooks this week, so lets go over that in this week’s post. Just to say it up front, I’ve really only been looking at these for a few days, so please don’t use this as a reference. That said, the flow isn’t that much different from…

So back again, we’re in the last day of phase 3, and I’m wrapping up work on the third project in Ruby on Rails (totally not procrastinating on writing the blog of course). Sticking with my theme, I’ve made something of a fantasy hockey application. The application pulls game data…
