What am I doing now?

This month I focused on creating microservices projects and learning how to use Docker, Kubernetes, TDD with Jest and Typescript as tools, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, creating my first npm package, and also webpacks.

As of 7/13 I finished all of these projects. to help me with the largest project I made four smaller projects to fill in the learning for services I haven't used before. One project focused on backend and creating an event bus and learning how to split up services. Number two focused on frontend strategies and implementation. Number three was to connect various frontend applications, including React and Vue and have the different pages connected to different services and deploy on AWS. The fourth was to help me learn unit & integration testing with Jest:

4.GitHub Link.

Before these I never had to run and connect multiple services together, and didn't know what an event-bus and load balancer are or how to make my own Webpacks or npm modules. These projects also taught me how to use Docker, Kubernetes, and Skaffold. To get them up and running was a bit of a challenge, I had to install Linux to get them running on my 7 year old Windows PC. Nonetheless these projects were a good initial set up to move onto and finish the more complex microservices project that is now complete!

Next up, as I was formerly a teacher and sell lesson plans on the side, I am going to make my own all inclusive Geography lesson plan website. For teachers they can buy subscriptions to year-round lesson plans with all the material they need from activities, projects, powerpoints, tests, and so on. For students, on their end they will have access to an interactive textbook, and with authentication and authorization access to different assignments.

Before I began learning web development, I sold lessons I created here: Lesson Plans Then created a mostly complete, free, online interactive textbook using Google Sites. Now I cannot wait to create this on my own. Online Interactive Textbook
