Reactjs

Continuing my learning from the EpicReactDev course by Kent C Doods, this is my notes from the third part of the course. In this post, I'll post my notes for the Advanced React Hooks course.

As I've embarked into the [EpicReact](https://epicreact.dev/) course by Kent's C Doods in the last couple of weeks, this week, I've finished with the second section of the course. This section teach me about React Hooks. It consists of basic explanation of the react hooks and exercises to make people familiar with hooks and how it can simplify some of the advanced pattern in React.

As a part of my development goals at Culture Amp, I've been wanting to become more advanced in the frontend development areas. Several weeks ago, I subscribed to the [Epic React](https://epicreact.dev/) course by Kent C Dodds - thanks to Culture Amp who sponsored my learning for this. To have me accountable, in the next several weeks I'll post my learning notes from the course with the hope it will be useful for anyone who reads it without violating the copyright of the course.

I have a good experience building a web application using React and NextJS framework. In my last blog, I wrote about setting up a Flask and NextJS application using Docker. This time in this post, I'll share a tutorial to build a simple blog application using NextJS and Contentful. The steps that I describe here is similar to what I've done to display a blog content in Passporr. Please stay tuned, and hopefully, this tutorial will help you to also display a blog in your website without much hassle.

In this post, I'll share how I set up my local development using Docker and `docker-compose`. I also share how I use `docker-machine` to deploy it directly to DigitalOcean. The focus of this post is more on how I set up the codebase to work with Docker and `docker-compose`. In the future post, I'll make more detail example for both the Flask and NextJS.

In the last couple of years, I launched two of my side-projects. The first one is The Baby Club and second was Palletio. Both are no longer exists today, but I learned a lot during my time run those two platforms for a while. In this post, I’ll share another side-hustler that I launch recently called Passporr.
