I think this week has been a challenge for me, and as a result I find it hard to quantify how much I have achieved against the learning outcomes. I would say that my understanding of backend has improved, but I am uncertain as to how much I've achieved.
I would say I have achieved the following:
- Understand the benefits of using TypeScript over JavaScript, such as improved code quality, enhanced developer productivity, and better tooling support
- Learn the basic syntax and features of TypeScript
I think going through the process of Typescript on the execute programme has been surprisingly eye-opening. I think its been able to convey that Typescript uses 'types' to ensure clearer code, as I understand what I need to expect at the end of running a function / programme. For example, assigning the type :string to a variable and knowing that I should expect a string answer.
2. Show an example of some of the learning outcomes you have struggled with and/or would like to re-visit.
I would say I could give a vague explanation of the learning outcomes, however I will be re-visiting it all. On a positive, I would say that being proactive in asking for help and seeking help has really helped in my understanding, and has made me more excited to revise backend.

[What went well]
It is great that even if backend is not something that you enjoy the most, you still understand the basic concepts.
[Even better if]
For next week you could try to make it more concise. Use specific examples instead of high-level ideas, supported with short snippets (this will also help you to keep it shorter). In any case, your progress log is looking great.
