The take home assignment that got me hired 8 years ago - beginner react practice problem

Nice process thought, want more content like this one

[@DouglasSouza-wo9rp]

I love seeing you solving challenges haha ​​it seems so simple

Another great video Cody. If coding this as part of an interview, I'd say it's important to chat through your thinking and why you're doing the things you are. As you have. Questions could come from an api, or the interviewer may have a format for the data in mind already. So nice to flesh that out at the beginning aswell. if you're confident with bootstrap or tailwind, you could make this look very nice very quickly as well. All things I'd be on the lookout for people using initiative and talking me through their thought processes.

[@MudassirKhan-sx9jy]

these beginner react problems series really helped me. btw your voice tells you need some rest.

[@WebDevCody]

I can’t rest, the world needs me to teach them how to solve beginner react interview questions

[@surferbum618]

Great video! Thanks for making it, Cody. I had a take home tech interview that asked to create a web app that used React or Vue that did the following: 1. Showcased articles/blogs posts * posts had to contain a title, content/body, and status of post(published or draft) 1. App should allow for the creation of a new posts and edit currently published posts 1. The default behavior should be to keep the post as a draft until the user purposely publishes 1. App displays only published content

All frontend or did you need a database

I need to know what Background & Font Theme youre using for VSCode... It looks SO nice!

[@WebDevCody]

Bearded theme stained blue, font is default vscode on mac

[@akinmademoses2452]

I tried adding a previous button with the onClick and all but it's not saving the answers of the previous answer selected And wen I try to reduce it below the very first question, and error appears

[@sunefred]

What React framework would you use if I have a dedicated API and no need for server side rendering. Is NextJs still the better choice?

[@WebDevCody]

I’d still use next probably

[@FarisEdits]

Very good video ❤

Key Cody which keyboard do you use?

Amazing job! Whats the name of the extension you have for setting colors on each tab you're pressing in the code? it is very helpful

indent rainbow (something similar, you gonna find that)

For interviews for junior front end after graduation, as a beginner should I be practicing problems like this or leetcode style problems? I would prefer to spend more time learning to solve these

[@WebDevCody]

Honestly I don’t know, I haven’t interviewed anywhere in years. Just get better at problem solving which both can help with

[@Lexaire]

It's both. You should be able to do Easy leetcode and a simple challenge like this as a Junior, and be able to talk through the code for both.

[@lilsafmusic]

So what have you learned after graduating? What are you most confident with? There's also problem solving type websites that you can practice (more js logic based)

[@andrewwall2730]

Great video! Though I humbly disagree that typescript is a programming language. It's just javascript in the end.

[@berndeveloper]

You were so lucky, nowadays, we got a bunch of leetcode questions for a miserable salary that is far away from a FANG company 💀.

just a small question, I'm an big display: flex fan, doesn't grid got a lot better recently ? I didn't use grid since a long time but I keep seeing people using it more, or is it just that less and less people use legacy IE browsers and grid is better supported

[@WebDevCody]

They are both good in their own ways

Could you please share the Angular code with me? I have a great interest in Angular and I'm currently focused on learning and mastering this framework. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[@Erick-no8zn]

What does the className "page" do?

[@yunyang6267]

It seems impossible to fail if you could take it home to finish it.

[@WebDevCody]

It’s more used as a talking piece during the interview and also helps weed people out. Many people will actually refuse to do easy take home assignments.

[@jackweaver5840]

hey, i have a question, can you be a frontend developer without mastering CSS? i find that i don't like CSS at all and i do enjoy coding and development, im an SDET who's trying to get into web development but i feel that I dont enjoy CSS and i was wondering if someone can get into frontend without having to master vanilla CSS - maybe use a framework like tailwind is enough? because i do know the basics of CSS but it get's quite frustrating when you cannot solve why things do not work since there are no errors and etc and im not into designing that much, looking into frontend because i hear in the market it is much harder to get into full stack/backend without a degree... but i digress - is it possible not to MASTER css and get into frontend?

[@WebDevCody]

Yeah, I work with people who don’t know css well. I’d highly recommend learning it because when you waste a full day try to position elements, you’ll end up hating yourself for not learning css to help you solve an issue in 5 minutes

[@jackweaver5840]

@@WebDevCody I spent the last week learning it - but it was not enjoyable.. specifically css - it's not not learning it, it's more of not spending too much time on it up to mastering it to survive in web development - until now i coded automation development in TS

[@thelaitas]

@@WebDevCody Yeah, to add to this, I'd say that you need to pretty much master flexbox and the rest isn't that hard, considering that most of the time we use ui libraries that are pre-styled.

[@Lexaire]

A frontend dev should be very capable of vanilla CSS. It goes without saying.
