Still to-doing the to-do...

(I will keep this week’s post ‘brief-ish’ also as I have had some time constraints and have not been as organised or productive as I would have liked to be)

Things I've worked on/completed since my last post…

I am still working on the To-do list, but I have now moved onto working on the DOM.

Things that went well...

So far (famous last words), things have not gone too badly this week. I am at the point where I am adding tasks to the DOM/UI using input date from a pop-up window and that feels like an achievement at the moment.

I still have quite a way to go, but I have at least got something fundamental working in the DOM/UI.

Things that didn't go quite so well...

I have had a bit of a disorganised week for various reasons, which has meant doing a bit ‘here and there’ and not being as organised as I would have liked. For this reason, I am simply focussing on getting each small task done, without looking at the nitty gritty of the organisation of the code. I am keeping the code in modules, but currently, the code within those modules is a bit disorganised, although I do plan to clean it up at a later point.

The hardest part of the project this week was simply knowing/deciding when to stop trying to test everything in the console before moving onto the DOM. I eventually came to a point where i thought, ‘I can only get it working fully in the console to a point’ and I just stopped at a point that made sense to me.

Things I've learnt/need to improve on...

I need to learn when to stop working on the logic and testing and when to start working on the DOM.

Plan for the forthcoming week...

I will continue to work on the DOM in the To-do project.
