Probably a good summation of what everyone else is feeling. Why no love for the MVC? Though, JavaScript doesn't care about your wedding. 👍

Added lots and lots of stuff, committing to keep it saved
Added a lot more stuff
Displays nothing, renders the page as though the element doesn't exist, used by javascript

1. script: defaults to none

I like how you broke out the property values into their own sections. Maybe use backticks and links to the reference documentation for quick finds later. Also, remember to put a space after your hash marks.

Added topics to parking lot
Made final draft

Took me a while to find your change even with split diff view. Sneaky. I approve. Can't improve on perfection can we? 👍


Right off the bat I had great difficulty figuring out how to make the javascript affect elements of the HTML and CSS. Even getting one piece of the code to work and just making it log a tracer bullet for clicking certain things was a big pain in the ass, and then we had plenty more to do. Eventually as we progressed, I could get the elements already on the page to work but still not be able to dynamically add things. But God comes through and eventually everything clicked when I realized that in order to get added tasks to work right the event listeners would need to be called at their adding. This was also when I realized that the initial code that added the event listeners stopped at the loading of the page and never ran again. lodash _.forEach would not cut it, so I wrapped each of my event listener adding chunks of code in functions and called them EVERY TIME I ADDED A TASK. It worked beautifully. If only I had figured this out earlier during the weekend I could have possibly accomplished a little more, but I was satisfied to have gotten it working to a fairly functional point.

How do I feel? Exhausted, this coding stuff is a major brain fryer. I find however, that as I let the material kind of simmer in my brain after being wrecked by it in class, it slowly integrates into my knowledge base, and it's a great feeling. I'm actually enjoying myself when I'm able to devote most of my time to coding and making it work, and if I didn't have a fiancee living at home with me driving me up the wall about this wedding I could be a hermit who codes for 12 hours a day. We did get our engagement photos taken on Sunday, over three hours that could have been devoted to making the todo application edit tasks, but it was nice regardless. Overall I would say I'm happy.

Great job! I like that you included your own code in your journal. That is a fantastic idea! 👍
