Let me start by thanking you for taking the time to read about this post any feedback is will be appreciated.

Baseball Player Log is a simple single-page app that a user can interact with by creating Teams and submitting players to each team that is created it was built with Rails API as the backend and JavaScript for the frontend.

My experiences during this project were great by building this application with JavaScript and Rails.

My thought for building this application was to continue my passion for baseball and to continue building better as I continue learning new skills in a new language. Transitioning from Ruby/Rails to JavaScript for me was a little of a challenge. Javascript for me it is a really good language and lovely as you start learning and understanding how you can manipulate a single page from just the internet browser like Chrome, Firefox, and others.

In this project, I had difficult days where I was on my computer for more than 12 hours trying to make a function work and communicate with the backend. I had overnight time from 5 PM to 5 AM because I have a full-time day job and also a baby that wants to play with me when I come from work. There was a day when I fall to sleep on my computer chair and woke up at 3 AM to go to my bed, it is tough but I tried my best to learn.

My Baseball Player Log is a really simple app but it has a lot of memory that I will never forget. I want to thank all my cohort mates that help me and took the time when I request help from them and they were available for me and finally, I want to thank the Flatiron School to have a program like this for people like me.
