On the 7/2/2021 we confirmed with everyone involved that C4RT had officially opened for business and was ready to start taking customers.
Worked furiously at finishing off the c4rt software so that I could actually offer it as a service. This was the time that I was working on the security and all of the encryption and decryption and validation of data (to make sure we’re all safe using this) was pucker.
Yup. Because of Covid and all of the complications with students and problems with getting A Level results (or whatever reason) – computer said no to my place on the Computer Science course happening in the time I’d planned to be at uni. At this point I realise I F…. lol. I realised that I was going to be providing for myself over the next year as I waited for the 2021 intake to come around.
This is where I could now start to write in React on my own without any support from the courses I had bought and was able to implement anything and everything I decided that I wanted in the software. I can honestly say that every part of how the software is a direct translation of the intial vision I had of it at the time of it’s inception all those years ago (and a bit more that I couldn’t have imagined in the beginning).
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was Covid, this software would have never been written #FACT. There were at least three ocassions where I had given up on React.js and the next morning when I woke up, couldn’t face the fact that I could give up when I HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO! Luckily I pushed through these dark (the darkest) times and have now got to where we are.
Up to this point the front and back end of the website are on around version 300 (I have 300 different snapshots in time of my progress as I saved backups) and it was around this time that I was able to get things working with React and my Express back end. Good times.
