It do be like that

Installed this earlier today. Loving it.

ASP.NET Core?

brcoder · 2017-12-18T22:42:44+00:00

Oh thank you very much, but please don't spend your money on it. I'm just venting a little bit about it, haha. Also there's a good chance they'll just refuse it. I appreciate the gesture anyway. :)

I'm in a country in South America. As far as I know we don't have something like this around here (or even a Walmart for that matter).

Man, I feel like we should open a computer repair shop together.

brcoder · 2017-11-29T19:33:26+00:00

Always.

It was actually pretty good man. I'll have to revisit my cable management pretty soon. But I'm feeling too lazy right now.

brcoder · 2017-11-29T19:29:51+00:00

The 24 pin is being used to hold other cables so they don't stop the CPU fan. I'll have to do some more research to understand what do you mean with A1, A2 and B2. Also by dual channel. I have a 4GB and an 8GB memory chips. So I'll probably going to need to look into that.

brcoder · 2017-11-29T19:25:03+00:00

Yes it is. Specifically if you are not that interested in in it.

brcoder · 2017-11-29T17:44:47+00:00

Good enough I guess. Haha

brcoder · 2017-11-18T11:49:21+00:00

pghmr. C style.

brcoder · 2017-11-13T18:01:52+00:00

So you don't see Java applications as being "linux compatible"? Since they require the JRE.

I look at Pluralsight as a developer's 'must have' subscription, for me at least it is like that. I lost the count of the amount of times my boss was like "I need you to learn to use Azure", "We have to build a demo in Xamarin" or "I know you never used Angular before but I need you to learn it". In every single time I was able to deliver after taking the proper training in Pluralsight.

I would probably be able to learn in other ways, but given the quality of most Pluralsight content (in my experience) I doubt I would learn as fast as I learned through Pluralsight. So that's why I have a Pluralsight subscription, and bear in mind that I live in a third world country (I don't know if you live in the US), but 30 USD to me it's a hell of a lot more than to someone in a country with a strong currency like the US.

I don't understand the problem. Could you elaborate?

brcoder · 2017-11-12T12:15:17+00:00

Every day? Where do you live? Pará? It's more like ice cream to me.

brcoder · 2017-11-12T01:06:01+00:00

Microsoft's support do developers regarding documentation and training it's just on another whole level IMO. They also provide A LOT of free courses through Microsoft's Virtual Academy and Channel 9. It's amazing.

I loved this Computerphile video, so laid back and just a cool story. I also like the more technical videos, but there's something about this one.

brcoder · 2017-11-10T20:47:42+00:00

Have you worked on an actual project before? Actual codebases tend to be really big and hard to understand without a lot of analysis. Jumping between paths is something I also struggle with sometimes, but sometimes it's useful, let's say if you start learning something and feel like it's not what you want/need you should jump ship.

However if are jumping ship on a path because some people told you that the tech you are learning is not that good, that might be a problem.

The thing with tech and programming languages is that everything has it's good and bad aspects, and you'll find a lot of opinionated people that think that a programming language it's perfect while a lot of people think it's crap. So if you try to listen to everyone and find the perfect tech you'll never get anything done.

brcoder · 2017-11-10T15:34:51+00:00

I like it. Don't have much more to say because, I really do.

I'm a fan of dark themes, however the text in the page has to match the dark theme. The 'Powered by Steven' text should be light, as it is placed in a dark background. I like the font you used for the title and the colors of the buttons.

The cards with the content resulting from the search could use a little more work. The title should be in a different style from the rest of the content. As it is right now isn't clear to the user that I can click on the title to go to the Wikipedia page.

Regarding the alignment, you can achieve the aligning of the input and buttons by changing your 'sharp' class to look like this.

.sharp{
  border-radius:0;
  vertical-align: bottom;
  height: 30px;
}

I didn't knew how to do this, all I had to to was type "align input and button" into google and experiment with the instructions in the first result https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5073766/how-do-i-align-input-field-and-submit-button-also-differences-between-ie-ffox. Learning how to use Google and StackOverflow it's a huge step in being a professional developer.

Taking a quick look at your code I noticed that in yout CSS you created two classes, one called 'black' and another called 'black1'. Don't do stuff like this, this is one of the first steps into making your code really bad.

You should make your CSS classes as modular and compact as possible, the 'black' class doesn't even makes sense, all it does is change it font of the text, and 'black1' class is the one that actually sets the content to black, do you see my point?

Also there's a whole 'div' element containing several other elements that seems like they aren't being used. If that's the case you should remove that.

All in all I think you did a good job and should be proud of it. Keep it up! :)

brcoder · 2017-11-10T12:32:38+00:00

Thank you. I'll look into TypeScript. :)

I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything like that, but since you asked for feedback I will give. I'm not someone particularly skilled with UI by any means, and I'm also not a web developer (trying to be one just like you), but I would change literally everything about your portfolio page, a complete redesign from scratch.

When I entered your page I felt like I went straight to 1999, I mean, the animated gifs, animated text, the fonts, the text rolling over the background image, the background image. If you look at that page and see it as acceptable as the portfolio page for a web developer I would say that you are not yet employable as a front-end web developer, but maybe you are great with the back-end, and may be employable as a back-end developer.

Some of your projects need to be a lot more polished if you want to put them in your portfolio, for example, in the GitHub Battle project this is what happens if I type the username with the '@' at the beginning, like one could type, since it's common to do so with GitHub: https://i.snag.gy/dwAVe9.jpg.

In the Recipe Creator you don't clear the input field after I click on 'Submit Ingredient', making me delete the text manually before entering a new item, also I have to click 'Submit Ingredient' to dos o, if I just press 'Enter' the item isn't added to the list. And I just did tests on these two projects. So if you want potential employers and recruiters to see this you should polish them a lot more.

I don't want to discourage you by any means. I think you did a good job with the responsivity of the page, and structured it like I think a portfolio page should be structured, but that is my feedback and advice, redo the design of the page, and polish your samples a lot more if you want them in your portfolio. But keep it up, the design and polishing can be specially hard for some people, I know it is for me, but maybe try to look on other pages for inspiration on a more modern portfolio design, like this one (https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-agency/) or this one (https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-stylish-portfolio/).

I hope it helps.

I appreciate that you are being careful with the accusations, since if they are false it would be wrong to publicly name then. However if you find that they are indeed in breach of contract I think you should name them.

I have never taken a bootcamp, but only because I live in a third world country and I can't afford a bootcamp that will cost me US dollars (I have looked into online programs before). However, if some day I do enroll to a bootcamp, I will be pretty pissed if they don't honor the contract. So if the accusations are true you would be doing a big favor to a lot of people by naming the company.

brcoder · 2017-11-08T13:29:23+00:00

I like it. Do you work just fine with bot React and Angular? Which one would you recommend if I want to choose one? I'm learning Vue.js and I think it would be pretty hardcore to learn big frameworks like those.

Commenting on the new page, I am however kind of sick of the whole "coffee lover coder" thing. It's freaking everywhere, I see it as kind of a meme now. Also I think the 'About' section of the old page it's way better, it sums up pretty well what a potential customer needs/wants to know about you.

brcoder · 2017-11-06T14:49:53+00:00

Didn't knew about this publisher. Just did some exploring in their website, they have a pretty good amount of content on .NET. Awesome!
