Working with Nodemailer and Express to create a Contact Us form

Posted by Ninja Space Content on Thursday, December 31, 2020, In : nodemailer 
For the last 24 hours, I have been working on my Contact Us form and I have it up and running now. However, no surprise here, I didn't do it without some errors at the beginning. I found some sources that I want to document here to look back on for the future for the next Nodemailer implementation.

Here are the three resources on Nodemailer that I looked at:

Adding Existing Local Directory to a New GitHub Repo

Posted by Ninja Space Content on Wednesday, December 30, 2020, In : tech issues 
This week seems like a GitHub week for me. Managing files, looking up terminal commands to get my files properly backed up and remembering it all are taking me hours this morning.

Updated to macOS Big Sur and enabled two-factor authentication for Github

Posted by Ninja Space Content on Tuesday, December 29, 2020, In : tech issues 
Making sure all the tech, files, codes, branches and operating systems are up-to-date is a job in itself! I updated my operating system to Big Sur and am enabling my Github to two-factor authentication.

Today, is the first day I checked out my new macOS interface with Big Sur and I love it! Big Sur is located a couple hours from me and is such a beautiful place so I have such a good feeling about this operating system.

This morning, I also updated my settings in Github to enable two-factor auth...

Nine days after Coding Bootcamp

Posted by Ninja Space Content on Monday, December 28, 2020, In : coding bootcamp 
I graduated from a 26-week online coding bootcamp about 9 nine days ago and I'm going through a lot of intense mixed emotions.

There is a great relief having to pass such an intense educational program and also a lot of fear. I have fear of not being 'good' enough yet to get a first job, fear of rejection after an interview and the anxiety of the thought of going into an interview. Emotionally and technically, I feel like I am ill-prepared. Therefore, I'm going to do some analyzation here.
