This project was conceived as a coding challenge and a demonstration of integrating modern web technologies into a cohesive application. The core of this project involves leveraging GraphQL to interact with the open-source Rick and Morty API, a task I often set for potential hires.

export const apolloClient = new ApolloClient({ uri: "https://rickandmortyapi.com/graphql", cache: new InMemoryCache({ typePolicies: { Query: { fields: { characters: { keyArgs: false, merge(existing: Characters, incoming: Characters) { return { ...incoming, results: [ ...(existing?.results || []), ...(incoming?.results || []), ], } satisfies Characters; }, }, }, }, }, }), });

Hello, my fellow CS students! Are there any Rick & Morty fans here? Because I've just created an app called Portalpal for my final project. It's a fun little app designed to explore the Rick & Morty universe. With Portalpal, you can view, search, paginate, and filter characters. Additionally, you have the option to filter characters by episodes and locations. For the data, I utilized the rickandmorty API, which you can check out here: https://rickandmortyapi.com/. If you'd like to give it a try, here's the link to my app: https://portalpal.vercel.app/. I built it using React 18, and it took me about a month. I'm really proud of how it turned out! If you're interested, you can also find the source code for the app on my GitHub repository: https://github.com/kyawzinhtett/portalpal. Feel free to open an issue if you discover any errors.

Just a small app consuming the Rick and Morty API showing some basic stats of each character such as last known location, species and what episode(s) they appear in.

For beginners, the best code editor is Vscode.

An IDE or text editor; we'll use Visual Studio 2022 for this tutorial, but a lightweight IDE such as Visual Studio Code will work just as well

Choosing IDE: Selecting the right Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can make your coding experience smoother. Consider popular options like as PyCharm, Visual Studio Code, or Jupyter Notebook. Install your preferred IDE and configure it to work with Python.

It all starts with the editor. Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is my go-to editor. I was using the Insider’s Edition for the longest time, but some extensions would try to log in and redirect to VS Code regular edition, so I decided to go back to it. That said, VS Code Insider's is very stable.

Meanwhile, a developer workflow that does not require access to AWS Management Console may provide a better experience. As a developer, I appreciate having an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Visual Studio Code where I can code, deploy, and test in one place.

Good to know: If you're a Visual Studio Code user, you can enhance your coding experience by installing the ESLint and Prettier extensions. These extensions provide real-time error and warning highlighting, as well as automatic formatting and code fixing on save.

Download any code editor e.g. VS code. Visual Studio code which is a code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. Go to https://code.visualstudio.com

A code editor (VS Code is my go-to IDE), but feel free to use any code editor you're comfortable with.

First, grab your favorite command-line tool, Terminal or Warp, and a code editor, preferably VS Code and let’s begin.

C# is very good as a language, have developed in it for 5+ years. The problem is the gap between what MSFT promises to management and actually delivers to developers. You really really need to fully read the fine print, think of the omissions in documentation and implement a proof-of-concept that almost implements the full solution to find out the hidden gotchas.

For example, even probably their best product VS Code only got reasonable multiple screens support last year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecommen...

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Teams.
