I started with eight learning exercises left. I finished one, and suddenly there are nine left to do. I feel like I will never get to log analysis at this rate.

Anyway today’s exercise was Wizards and Warriors 2.0. Just some strings and parameter passing. Way easier than yesterday’s.

For the rest of the time (plus some more) I finished the book I was going through. Today’s image is the program in action.

So, do I want to use this as a base for a ToDo list application. Well…. no. There are too many bits I don’t really understand where they came from. I think I would need a more thorough book/learning material to work through before I used that.

I also don’t like the editor he chose — Froala. To be fair it does pretty much everything you would want it to. However, it wants you to buy it, and I don’t want to spend money on software licenses for a toy program. I was still able to use it for the toy app but the hand out for money was off putting.

I think that in the final to-do application I would want a much simpler markdown viewer (hopefully free). I could cut that part completely out too.

I think I would prefer a single page application where the back end is a rest API. I should go look for a tutorial on that.
