    DevJam: Clone Wars Ep1 - Netflix

    Avuxeni, Sawubona, Dumela and Hello, I'm Keith, welcome to DevJam This will be the first episode of what i have dubbed “The Clone Wars”, no relation to the Star Wars - Clone wars animated tv show i promise. So today, we're plunging headfirst into a pool of awesomeness: Cloning Netflix yay. I mean, who doesn't have a serious relationship with Netflix these days? It's our favorite partner for those weekend binge-a-thons and popcorn-filled movie nights. You might be curious as to why we've chosen to focus on Netflix. The reasons are manifold. Firstly, it's widely recognized and enjoyed by many, making it a relatable subject. Beyond its popularity, Netflix shines in several technical aspects that make it an exciting case study. The user interface of Netflix is a masterclass in intuitive design. One of the most notable features is how they display rows of recommended shows. This is not a random selection; it's a carefully curated list based on your viewing history and preferences, making you discover shows you may not have found otherwise. Another impressive feature is the browsing experience. The smoothness of scrolling through the vast library of content makes the user feel comfortable and in control. It's a seemingly simple aspect, but one that enhances the user's overall experience profoundly. Finally, their playback features are worth mentioning. They've ensured that we, as viewers, have complete control over our viewing experience, from pause and play to adjusting the volume or skipping to the next episode, all from the comfort of our couch. These features might seem basic, but they're executed so well that they keep us engaged and coming back for more. So, let's get ready to dive deep into the mechanics of what makes Netflix tick. It's going to be an intriguing journey as we attempt to recreate these features. Are you ready? Let's get started!

    DevJam: Kinda Newer Beginnings

    And so it begins, well not really, because technically this is a second episode but for my own piece of mind i will dub it "The Re-introduction" haha. Just outlining what is to come, potentially exiting stuff ahead, i imagine it will be a fun endeavour as i am going to try and find interesting projects to showcase or even find existing ones which i could clone. As my one friend likes to say "The world is your oyster" i have no idea what she meant by it, but i stuck with it hahaha.
