So this isn’t meant to be a long post,I’m only going to talk about my recently completed . Node project I remember writing about my with Node and also promising not to give up till I was able to use Node to create something meaningful. After some weeks battling with my , I got to the final project, “ ”. challenges tutorial A Political app The app was to make use of the to display legislators based on their _Zipcode ,_Each legislator’s profile and a list of recent votes in the house/senate. I started out going through the docs on the site to know what I’ll exactly I would need and after a few playing around I decided I was ready(I wasn’t). Sunlight Congress API Writing the API wrapper made me realize I need to read up on Objects,Arrays and JSON because most of the challenges I faced writing the wrapper were as a result of my lacking in these areas.After about a week,I was sure my wrapper was working and returning the right data(I was wrong).Sending the data returned from my API call to client side was another challenge I faced but after a few tries,I got it to display. Although my app may not be 100%,I learnt a lot from building it; where I need to work on,what to read up on,how to write cleaner code and I’ll work on this and improve as I continue more with Wes Bos’s Learn Node tutorial videos and I hope to start writing technical articles in the nearest ,probably on Node or something JS related. learning future Check it out . here Again,cheers to getting better
