Full-Stack Application: Project Vale

After 2021 I had to leave my role in QA Ltd due to health and family reasons.

It wasn't until 2022 that I had an opportunity to focus back on coding and knew that I would need to revisit programming, adding it to my day-to-day routine; I decided to create a repository that would outline the skills I would refresh, covering existing topics as well as some new skills such as React.

About:

As part of my refresh, I wanted to cover full-stack development techniques I've used in the past; there are many technologies to keep track of and can fall out of memory; this can be a real problem as part of my portfolio could deteriorate without maintenance.

Existing Skills:

• Git and SVN
• Agile & issue tracking
• Java 8 & Maven Build
• Junit & Mockito
• JDBC
• Spring API
• Node.js & Javascript
• Cucumber & Gherkin
• Git and SVN

I was curious about expanding my front-end knowledge, so this project provided the opportunity to look into React and how it differs from the AngularJS training that QA Ltd provided me; this was partly due to an exploration of Angular9 and wishing to balance the benefits and drawbacks of each framework. A big part of this is that Angular had evolved in my time whilst working with a client on primarily back-end oriented technologies, so I had an opportunity to review how these technologies have changed since.
