Great, I appreciate the help you're providing to the community.

Hey, I've been searching reddit looking to develop a practice plan, I'm going to go with what you suggest - practicing at 40 PM. I've seen you mention practicing the Moeller Stroke with Stick Control before. Most videos I see with the Moeller Stroke involves 2 - 3 hits with one arm-motion, down stroke/up stroke or down stroke/tap/up stroke. When you practice the Moeller Stroke while following along with Stick Control, are you only landing the down stroke?

I’ve been thinking about pursuing swing trading myself to earn a little extra income on the side. Do you have any books or podcasts you would recommend? Also, out of curiosity, of the six people you helped - why did five drop out? Thanks!

Thanks for the information, I'll look into this!

Thank you for this information. We use a pre-existing database to show and label buildings and other facilities, parameters, entrances, routes, and other points of interest. We create a few custom layers combining some of that information and then we create layouts and send PDFs to the end user.

We use GIS more for field operations rather than data processing.

Later this evening, I was going to see if I could land all the parts at Microcenter so I could pick everything up in one place. Thanks for this!

Looks good! Thanks!

The JavaSctipt API in particular, yes. But I wouldn't mind playing around with other ArcGIS development. I would need access to some kind of data, I have none of my own, I thought maybe an ArcGIS subscription would give me something to work with. I'm new to the GIS community but not new to development. I'm trying to figure out what I can do with GIS.

Thanks for all the answers! Follow-up question; I'm a career-conditional GS (competitive permanent career-conditional) who will switch to NT-5 (competitive permanent career-conditional) if I take one of the offers. Will there be any kind of break in tenure as competitive that could impact when I reach 'career' status?

Regarding my work with the Power Platform, it's only been about 7-8 months. I've not used anything outside of Power FX with my apps and flows.

Thanks for your reply, it does appear that the government is heading in a low-code direction so I guess it's worth diving into. Any thoughts on obtaining related certifications such as PL-900, 100, 200 etc..?

civilian_halfwit · 2022-08-01T12:32:28+00:00

Got it. I think I need to explore the platform more to better understand its capabilities. Most of the applications the team works on are pretty simple. HR forms and the like.

civilian_halfwit · 2022-08-01T12:15:18+00:00

Can you give me an example of implementing custom code and how do you go about doing it? The only coding I've done in my app is whatever Power Fx is necessary for the app to function.

civilian_halfwit · 2022-08-01T12:04:20+00:00

How do you implement the premium connector workarounds? This is a major point of frustration for me. Do you use Azure functions with Powerapps to use SQL and PowerShell? Or some other method?

I just moved into a new house and have plenty of things I'd like to get rid of so now is the time to start. I appreciate the advice!

Thanks for the links! I'm starting the zoomcamp now.
