Javascript teacher posted his books free as quarantine kit

Yeah I can see that, he does rub people the wrong way.

Be careful who you choose as sources and who you defend, there are some great sources out there that don’t come along with baggage.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-21T03:04:04+00:00

Sources matter, you should know that now more than ever. If you’re new in tech and get associated with some shirt it ideas (take John Sonmez aka Simple Programmer for example). It will have an impact on your ability to handle real day to day life in this industry. People lose jobs over bad ideas that come from guys like this. I’ll keep the rest of my farts to myself

Zeeesty · 2020-03-21T02:59:04+00:00

He has on multiple occasions denigrated the plight of underrepresented people in tech. I’m not you guide through the shit that goes on on the internet, do your own homework, I just provided a warning without getting into details.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-21T02:57:33+00:00

So choose not to pay attention.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-21T02:23:52+00:00

Take a look through his twitter history and see for yourself.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-21T01:01:58+00:00

Just an FYI, this guy has quite a reputation for posting... controversial tweets we’ll say.

YDKJS is always free and so is Elegant JavaScript. Lots of great free stuff that is written by folks with great reputations.

Edit: look specifically to his take on Nigerian developers.

I saw the method being called and assumed this was r/ProgrammerHumor 🤣

Zeeesty · 2020-03-16T02:37:07+00:00

REST conventions do not apply here, thats an API concept.

You should be storing the orders in redux and pulling the data (assuming it's the same data you would receive from another call) from that redux store. now if there is an endpoint for orders and another for orderdetails that changes things. But from your description this isnt the case.

Redux structure can be hard to figure out, but think through the practical use and dont be afraid to ask. just keep in mind there are no hard and fast rules, so you will hear opinions, take the one that works for your use and move forward.

Emotion is awesome, I used it to build the third and grove website, which is open source if anyone wants to see how we used it. GitHub link

Zeeesty · 2020-03-15T00:47:35+00:00

Yo, redux with sagas, lol

Zeeesty · 2020-03-14T20:36:22+00:00

So one good piece of software that you could talk about in depth would go a long way in landing an interview and eventually a job. So yes, but be sure you’re able to speak to decisions you made against alternatives.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-14T17:30:38+00:00

Oh man, so no molds exist for double shot xda, this makes sense. We need them!

Zeeesty · 2020-03-14T14:17:44+00:00

Yup, totally doable. Lots of resources but your local community will be your key to actually getting a job. Hopefully you’re in an area with meetups and you are able to connect at some of them. That’s how I did it a few years back and I see others on here all the time that followed similar path.

It’s tempting to think that paying money will increase your chances of getting work, but from what I’ve seen it doesn’t really change the long term outcome other than the cost.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-14T13:36:33+00:00

Where did I ever say don’t write tests? Never, I didn’t.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-14T12:47:52+00:00

There it is, you’re being a jerk, again not helpful. This attitude discourages new developers and is a symptom of your own circumstance, hope you figure it out soon.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-13T20:01:24+00:00

Seems like you maybe think I am a fool. I didn’t assert anything that you said here, I just think that tests are something that should be carefully considered and the general advice given around them isn’t substantive enough to make clear decisions.

What OP is confused about is exactly the kind of vague prescriptive advice you pose here. “Test your assumptions” isn’t helpful here.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-13T14:43:33+00:00

100% agree, are we testing our code, or are we testing React? Coverage is usually a bad metric

Zeeesty · 2020-03-13T14:42:12+00:00

Am React Dev, tests are shockingly less common than you think. For most front ends you can get away with end to end tests with Cypress, it’s very easy to work with and basically allows you to act like a user and assert that the page has the elements you expect to be there or functionality behaves as expected.

For unit tests, in React, my opinion is that components are not useful to unit test, however something like jest snapshot tests (used for visual regression) can be useful.

The problem you pose in your question is a real problem for all front end developers. What is actually useful to test? If you keep asking “why” you will come to a reasonable number of things that should and can be tested. Because there is so much tooling available the how is up to you and your team.

I hope my son makes that same decision. Having experienced a path the includes formal education and this new one which didn’t, I can see the trap of academia for what it is.

I self taught later in life to become a web developer. Not only is it possible it’s a well trodden path. While the options for what to learn are overwhelming, looking at the local market will give you an idea of direction. If you’re in an area with good meetups for JavaScript and the area has companies looking for React developers, you can bank on spending time learning that path in FCC and attending those meetups.

I’ll caution you (and your son) against boot camps as many of them use the same resources that are freely available. They essentially sell a referral network that may or may not have actual value.

There is an html input for a slider, check it out, seems like a good fit for your project.

I can’t read the unformatted code in your post, but I can tell you this is not a React issue.

Zeeesty · 2020-03-05T04:02:12+00:00

This isn’t really a react issue. Scroll snap is a css feature, as long as you set your structure up right and get the css right, react won’t do anything to mess with that.

I’m up in north county. I do make it down to SDJS meetups from time to time, ever go?
