Using the Power of AI in Pokémon App Building (Intro)
My learning style leans towards following tutorials and then building my own project and apply what I’ve learned to that project. From what other coders have said is it is easy for people to get stuck in a tutorial loop never getting to build their own projects, I am “people”. I decided to try something different and use ChatGPT, a“new to me” technology, to walk through the process of creating an application. While it is still very much guided coding, there are many pieces of code used without any explanation. Forcing me to slowdown ad actually learn the technology while using ChatGPT as a co-pilot.
With this project I gave ChatGPT a prompt asking it to outline a Pokédex application using React, Redux-Toolkit, & Material UI. In this series of posts I am going to document each outlined step, my research on unknown functions/technology and jot down any new information. Hopefully ending with a completely functional project that can be added to and used on my portfolio.
