This project was the first full stack web application that I built from scratch. The goal was to automate the main business processes for my family business using the skills that I had recently learned from Colt Steele's ‘The Web Developer Bootcamp’ course on Udemy.

Learning Points

I constantly learned new skills, all of which I incorporated into this still-evolving project so I guess this learning points section will be quite long. During the year I spent maturing this project, I have grown noticeably, both as a developer and a problem solver.

Apart from learning to use tools like React, webpack, Express and MongoDB and interacting with Google (and other providers') APIs, what I feel is really important in developing a robust application is the way you write code. I recently learned about functional programming and test driven development and these were game changers in allowing me to write more testable code that is easy to reason with.

Tech Stack

Pablo is a simple card game that my friends and I used to always play whenever we get together. Because the game can and does get really competitive, we thought it would be nice if we had a simple score-keeping app designed for Pablo so that we can focus on snatching cards from each other rather than worry about who is winning. This projected is what I decided to create to address that demand.

Side note: I believe the game is actually called Cabo, a 2010 memory card game by Melissa Limes and Mandy Henning but we learned the game during one drinking session and we must have all misheard the name and Pablo has stuck so I'm going with the flow. Another reason for sticking with the name ‘Pablo’ is that the rules of our version has diverged in odd ways from the original game so Pablo is now quite different from Cabo.

Yelp Camp, dubbed the greatest web dev project ever, is part of Colt Steele's famous course on Udemy titled ‘The Web Developer Bootcamp’. This course kickstarted my web development skills and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to build their own web application. Colt keeps adding new content and is not afraid to scrap old ones in favour of more up-to-date content. This is important as the tools used in web development can change pretty quickly.

This project is built on top of the one taught in the course and I aim to keep adding cool gimmicks to the site as I learn new tricks.

Learning Points

This project taught me the basics of many important aspects of web development. This included the MVC structure, server-side rendering using EJS, quickly styling a webpage using Bootstrap, working with external APIs, writing simple scripts and simple authentication and authorisation.
