Week 2

I need help with:

Well since we did an exercise in class, so far I do not require help from the coaches, everything is clear.

What went well?

Understanding the point of planning and defining collections and how they can link to each other in order to have everything organised

What went less well?

At the beginning i’d say that I was having troubles with translating what we wrote in the board into Strapi

Lesson learned

- Using Strapi: now I have more confidence using the platform
- The concept of collections and One to many/ one to one/ and many to one

Sunday prep work

I’m doing the chat exercise using strapi, I checked some videos to do it

Week 3

Me

i really enjoyed this module, this module was very interactive, we did really talk about a lot and there was less speaking and text, which is great. the part i enjoy the most was standing in the white board discussing with my classmates what we were doing and why we were doing it, i think i really felt in a working environment

What was not clear, where did you get stuck?

i really did not get stuck, i only had a few problems with trying to open strapi for the first time, however i managed to solve the problem. i also watch some useful videos to understand more CSM and how we would apply that in the exercises we were supposed to do.

What was clear, what did you master?

Personally there was nothing unclear, the whole point of creating collections was clear and how that would be implemented later on. Though i admit that i had troubles with taking what we wrote to Strapi, like the chat application or the pizzeria i had to watch some videos, with the base idea seen in class and that was enough
