In this article, I'm not sharing about the tutorial basic web development. But, I'm going to share my personal story how I get rid imposter syndrome at my-self.
 I'm a computer sience student that looking for a job to get and find the experience. Recently, I have applied to many job offers on platforms such as JobStreet, LinkedIn, etc. As a beginner, I was shocked when I saw the list of job requirements and descriptions.
 
How amazing is that! For example, a job offering for a front-end web developer requires you to understand HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but also to know SQL and PHP—it's basically full stack! Then, I realized that HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are not enough to become a front-end developer, even if you have skills in frameworks like React. If you want to get a job as a front-end developer, you have to build many real portfolio and you have to show it, portfolio is important.
 
 I want to try to become fullstack developer and I think learn C# is a good choice, because many company using c# for their software you can check on the internet. So, I will document it and share my progress.
 Now, I decided to learn c# and PHP for back-end and mysql for database. I will create #180dayslearnC#soon. I hope I can write and share consistenly. 
 
So, stay tuned! an thanks for reading!

How I get rid imposter syndrome at my-self.

SecondPapper is a simple daily journal and to-do list app designed to help people keep track of their feelings and plan their day. 
I created this app to provide a space for these activities. The idea came to me when I was struggling to manage my own time. 
I’ve always been bad at organizing my schedule, and I often find myself lost in my thoughts at different times. 
That’s why I built this app—to help me record what I feel throughout the day and what’s on my mind at certain moments.
 
And it works! Yesterday, after publishing the app, I used it to create my own to-do list. I listed 9 tasks, and I managed to complete 8 of them, with only one left undone.
 
The tasks I completed included: 

 

 - *Waking up early
 - *Drinking a cup of black coffee
 - *Doing pull-ups (3 sets of 7 reps)
 - *Taking a shower
 - *Turning on my car
 - *Fixing some of my stuff
 - *Learning PHP for over 2 hours

 
One task I missed was: 
 

 - *Writing on my blog (I didn’t know what I want to write)
 
 

Even though I missed one task, I felt productive because I completed almost everything on my list. I’m really happy with this app, even though it’s still in development. 
It’s already working well for me, and I think it could help others too. If you want to be more productive, having a tool to record your daily schedule and thoughts is essential—and SecondPapper is the perfect place for that.

Conclusion: 
SecondPapper is a progressive web app that serves as both a daily journal and a to-do list. It’s designed to help you write down your thoughts and feelings, while also keeping track of your daily tasks. 
I realize the app is still simple, but I’m committed to developing it into something even better and more powerful.

Introducing SecondPapper: Your Daily Journal and To-Do List.

Do you ever feel confused when trying to come up with ideas for a web project? Sometimes, when learning web development, we struggle to decide what we want to create or build. If you're experiencing this, I have some solutions to help you overcome it.
Firstly, let me share my experience of how I got the idea to create a web app project as a beginner. While I was learning a new programming language, I felt confused about how to apply it to a real project. I overthought it for a week, wasting time in the process. During that same period, I had a problem managing my time. That’s when I got the idea to solve my problem by using what I knew about web development to create my own app. I built a simple project to manage my time using React.

Before this, I didn't know how to apply my knowledge to a real project, even though there were many videos on YouTube explaining various projects. However, I chose not to watch them because I didn't want to fall into the "tutorial hell" trap. After coming up with the idea, I started working on the project and finished it within a week. I was really happy because, for the first time I was able to create something. Even though the project was very simple, it helped me in many ways.

The lesson I learned after finishing my project is that ideas often come when you face a problem. You can implement code to solve your own problems and turn it into an app. Essentially, to become a programmer or web developer, you need to solve problems. Create an app and solve it. This is the simple project I created when I had a problem.

Thanks for your attention!
I will write tutorials on HTML, CSS, and simple JS projects for beginners. So, stay tuned!
