Though the time is a unit defined by people, it can still flow away like a river running from the hill to the plain. I Only feel a sigh and a wink, the 2023 just has passed.
Just looking back on the memories like the cherry blossoms drifting in midair, which I want to catch on my tiptoes, a lot has happened this year.
Now just hold the petals and look, which probably makes me bring back the time to mind.
Gained
The past year has been a whirlwind of learning and growth for me.
Skills & Knowledge
In 2023, I delved into a multitude of skills and embarked on several captivating open-source projects that have significantly broadened my horizons.
Flask
Let’s start with the Flask journey.
Early on, I found myself entangled in the enchanting web of Flask, a delightful web application framework in Python.
The thrill of setting up and completing the TinyGallery using Flask’s straightforward and efficient MVC structure left an indelible mark on my learning path.
Diving into the official Flask documentation, I uncovered the art of rendering pages with the aid of jinja2-powered templates. This exploration, though it demanded patience, eventually bore fruit as I gradually incorporated functionalities into the project—minus the requirement of file uploads.

Despite its simplicity and ease of adoption, Flask did exhibit some flaws and yielded challenging bugs in the earlier versions of TinyGallery, contributing to a decision to transition to a new technology stack.
FastAPI, VueJS
Enter FastAPI and VueJS. To elevate the TinyGallery experience, a decision was made to bifurcate the backend and frontend, with a keen emphasis on leveraging Ajax-all-in and Restful API features. This compelling pursuit led me to immerse myself in the world of VueJS, resulting in the creation of tinygallery-vue and tinygallery-backend. Months of dedicated learning culminated in the successful completion of this endeavor.
The depth and breadth of my learning during this period were substantial, encompassing the creation of a Restful API provider with FastAPI, the crafting of a webpage capable of seamless data communication with the server using axios, and the meticulous design of simple, yet elegant components in VueJS.

async fetchData() {

const response = await axios.get("/resources/posts/" + this.pages); // Make a GET request to the server API
const newData = JSON.parse(response.request.response); // Parse the response text to JSON format
if (newData[0] == null) {
// If there is no new data
this.pages = this.pages - 1; // Decrement the current page number
} else {
// Otherwise
for (let i = 0; i < newData.length; i++) {
// Loop over the new data and add it to the display data array
(this.displayData as any).push(newData[i]);

Reveling in the satisfaction of newfound skills, I proudly navigated my way through VueJS’s option API, acquainting myself with the intricacies of lifecycle management, components, and props. On the backend front, mastering the art of JWT token creation for authentication, file handling, and data manipulation further bolstered my repertoire.

These frameworks didn’t just expedite my development speed for simple web applications; they also broadened my programming experiences, empowering me with a newfound sense of confidence.
pandas
Learning pandas has been a game-changer for me. This versatile and lightning-fast open-source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of Python, has proven to be an indispensable asset for my data-related tasks.
Whether it’s cleaning up datasets or delving into comprehensive data analysis, pandas has consistently come to my rescue.
One interesting aspect is its ability to effortlessly handle data fetched through spider scripts, making it accessible and easily readable for further processing.

pyecharts
Now, let’s talk about pyecharts. When I need to whip up a stunning picture or chart from my data and display it on a webpage, pyecharts has become my go-to solution.
Sure, I’m aware of Apache ECharts, an open-source JavaScript visualization library, but setting up its properties and rendering a complex chart can be quite the heavy lift. This is where pyecharts swoops in to save the day, helping me sidestep the complexities and streamline the process.
The official documentation, with its plethora of examples for creating simple data charts and graphs, has been an absolute lifesaver. When all I need is a quick, simple chart, relying on pyecharts feels like a breeze.
Database
After mastering SQL and familiarizing myself with MySQL, MariaDB, and SQLite, I found that each has its unique advantages for various development needs.
When it comes to lightweight, file-based management and easy transferability of rich content, SQLite has been my go-to choice for simpler applications. The fact that SQLite database files are commonly employed for content transfer and long-term data archival points to its versatility and widespread use in diverse scenarios. In fact, did you know that there are over 1 trillion (1e12) active SQLite databases in use today? That’s mind-blowing! The flexibility and ease of use of SQLite make it an ideal solution for projects like TinyGallery, where it serves as the reliable database engine.
Of course, in scenarios where performance is a top priority, especially in larger-scale applications, the robustness of MySQL or its fork, MariaDB, often becomes essential. Their well-established presence in the industry and their ability to handle larger datasets and a higher load have made them popular choices in the development community.
