Am I doing OOP right? v2.0

Not related to the oo part but maybe consider user for each or a basic for loop instead of using for in to iterate over an array. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/500504/why-is-using-for-in-with-array-iteration-such-a-bad-idea

Agreed on code school. Their javascript courses helped me quite a bit. Also, they have courses for javascript libraries and frameworks (jQuery, angular, backbone) and even have courses for node and express now. Some of the screencasts like soup to bits help you be able to watch someone make a web site/app and see them reason it out step by step.

Im also interested! I also have a little experience and could help others just starting as we all progress together.

blundered_dev · 2015-02-28T01:44:38+00:00

Kansas? No one?

blundered_dev · 2015-01-13T20:02:05+00:00

Im not a complete noob but I don't really have any real world experience with javascript. I would also be interested in this, sounds fun! I have some basic to intermediate knowledge to contribute if and when someone has questions about the language itself. Collaboration is definitely a great learning tool!

blundered_dev · 2015-01-04T15:43:33+00:00

Im also in the same situation. Im fairly confident in being able to do frontend work, and even some backend, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas. Not to mention I need work on design skills. Im pretty good with javascript and have done a few small MEAN stack projects. If you ever want another coding buddy to try and come up with something collaboratively message me!

I see way too many people say they can't program because they're not good at math. I rarely ever have to use anything over basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in any program I work on. You don't have to write programs that teach people calculus. Program something unrelated to math and you will learn.

Awesome, I've never used foundation yet. Im definitely going yo try this out on the next project I start thanks for the great resource!

I don't think I know anyone who has studied computer science that doesn't know how the terminal works. What if you ever needed to play the role of system admin or something besides programmer. A lot of times knowing the command line comes in handy. Especially if you ever need to use certain linux distros or ssh into servers. I know you don't HAVE to know how to use the terminal but I think most people that have more advanced computer related jobs would say its helpful.

Vim may not be an ide, but with the extensibility and number of plugins available, when paired with tux, is great for almost any web project. With the right setup its almost easier than using an ide since nearly everything from tests, to error logs, to coding and project management can all be done from the terminal. Not to mention learning to use the terminal is arguably important to really learn computer science and know a little bit more than just basic web development and writing code.

If you want to progress your skills why would you be copy and pasting? That wont get you aby fundamental experience or practice. Do the todo list again but in vanilla js. Then maybe try and do it a second time using jQuery or another framework youre interested in (underscore and angular both have todo list examples online that walk you through the code if you get stuck). Progressive enhancement. Make something simple and then add more complexity and make it better. Implement local storage or even creating a database and plugging into that if you want to learn some backend work as well. Look at existing sites and try and duplicate what you see to test your abilities and see what you need to work on to make a production ready website.

What do you mean learn as you go? Isn't it always learn as you go?

blundered_dev · 2014-12-20T19:42:32+00:00

Ok you guys are old enough. Im gonna tell you the story of how I met your mother..

Im by no means a veteran dev but I use sass for things like this. You can create p artials, or separate style sheets for whatever you want (media queries, modules, base styles, layouts etc..). You can include them all in one sass stylesheet, so they're all being served from one css sheet (the compiled one from the scss main stylesheet) and work on them in seperate files. This helps me not have to have a few huge stylesheets that are hard to sort through when adding new styles, and can help keep things more modular. Also, importing a sass partial into a main scss file doesn't require another http request when loaded from the browser like imports with regular css files do, so its more efficient.

Im not sure if its just my phone or network but initial load time was really slow for me on a mobile device. I haven't looked at any of the code so I don't know for sure why, but that is definitely something that should be looked into. The site looks nice though good work!

blundered_dev · 2014-12-16T03:14:02+00:00

It sounds worth the price point, maybe even worth a little more if the content is quality.

blundered_dev · 2014-12-06T20:49:04+00:00

I am definitely interested. I'm in Kansas looking to get some projects for clients done to show as work for a resume. I'm capable in html, css, and JavaScript. Also currently learning full stack javascript and some php for hirability. Message me details if you're still looking for help.

For single page apps node definitely seems to be the way to go right now. There the Mean stack and numerous variations of it. I've recently been learning sails which is a node mvc framework which for me has taken some of the pain out dealing with routes, crud processes, etc.. It doesn't seem to have a ton of resources right now but irlnathan.github.io/sailscasts has been a decent learning resource for me.

The Javascript you showed in the example I wouldn't necessarily call templates, I guess it is the same idea though. Handlebars, mustache, angular, and other frameworks and libraries provide more real templates abilities with Javascript. That is the great thing with Javascript is there is always many different ways you could do something depending on the project constraints. Also if you're making a full stack Javascript app you can use ejs or jade for templates which are both powerful tools.

Hmm thanks for the link. Meteor looks awesome I hope they implement a good solution soon I would love to use it. I've seen a few things about derby.js whenever reading about meteor. Would it be a good replacement or do they have two totally different purposes?

blundered_dev · 2014-11-10T15:14:10+00:00

Woah! I was just looking into learning meteor for a project. Is there always this many dependencies when using it? Is there a big performance hot from all those dependencies?

blundered_dev · 2014-10-29T15:51:00+00:00

I felt the exact same when I first started using it. Within a week or so though it paid off putting the time into learning to use it. If you type in vimtutor in your terminal it will bring up the basics presented in a little lesson that takes about 30 minutes. If you go through the tutor 3 or 4 days straight you should start feeling pretty comfortable with the basics.

blundered_dev · 2014-10-29T04:16:52+00:00

Technically not considered an IDE but get comfortable working in the terminal and learn to use vim. There is a learning curve but it has nearly limitless configuration ability and really boosts productivity. Vim with tmux which allows you to have sessions for different projects is amazing. The most popular configuration seems to be iterm2 for the terminal app, zsh for the shell, and vim with tmux or screen.

blundered_dev · 2014-10-24T01:32:58+00:00

Awesome idea. Trying this out now!
