Hello, super smart people! 🖐🏻
This is my first JavaScript challenge, so disappointments are guaranteed. ;D
It was a difficult challenge, especially dealing with Dates, truly a nightmare. I managed to complete the challenge the best I could. I would love to know some specifics and how you approach it.
- How much time(days/weeks) would you take to complete this project?
- What is the first thing you focus on? (HTML/CSS or JavaScript)?
- How much time do you spend on research? (Googling techniques or code solutions)
- What method/s do you take when stuck on a project?
- How to know when "is it good enough"?
and finally, any feedback will be greatly appreciated. (And rewarded with points ;D )

Hi! I like your component! Well done 🎉 I’ll try to answer your questions trying to be helpful:
- I solved this challenge in about 3/4 hours; this is un unhelpful statistic because it really depends on your skills and practice on doing front end components; so don’t be scared! If it takes you more than expected it’s normal, most important is to get knowledge that you didn’t have before
- usually I start doing HTML along css. Once there is a sort of “skeleton” of what the final result will be I start developing JS code.
- Here goes the same answer at first question: it really depends on what your knowledge is: the more you practice the less you need to search things
- When I’m stuck on something I try to debug if it’s possible (if I’m stuck on JS code); otherwise I try to convert the problem in smaller ones (classic “divide et impera” approach). If not works then I’ll try to check on Google and understand what I’m doing wrong
- I think that a project is “good enough” when you have a clean code and a neat html/css styles organization. Secondly the project has to be just as good as I imagined before implementing (in term of ux/ui and graphics).
