27Jun2022: Arrays, API calls practice

Created June 27, 2022

Today I spent a lot of time coding - I was playing around with an API and remembering how to use React to make public API calls. I was combing through many of the React apps we built in General Assembly and I realize there are actually so many ways to do...well everything. Not just the API calls but how to route and do show functions, whether an app is decoupled or not...I would have to get more fluent in these things to figure out when it's more of a better use to go with one architecture over another.

Apart from the API calls I was doing some work on array manipulations - there are some interesting ways to solve data structure challenges with Python's inbuilt functions that I don't think I learned in JavaScript. Might be a bit of a battle to see if I should learn solving coding challenges in Python instead but I'm still more comfortable with JavaScript from working on all these node.js apps.
