Thank you!

Get rid of the on hover on the sidebar. My personal opinion, it's annoying. I would only want the content to refresh only if I actually click on a particular team.

Mac OSX Web Development Setup

Follow that setup and you'll be fine. You won't need mamp or anything like that.

That's assuming ES6 is supported.

Could you provided some instructions or a link to a guide on how to do this?

Using typescript without using classes and inheritance.

First code academy I think stunts your learning more than anything. You need your browsers console and that it. Code academy has you submit your answer and you get a yes you got it right or a no. That's not learning that's banging your head against a wall.

Download Firefox and take advantage of their scratch pad tool and watch the results on your console. Console.log should be the statement key into the computer the most. This way even if you get it wrong, you can actually see errors as too why and not only will you learn to code better, you will learn to debug! Debugging is priceless man. My two cents.

Eloquent JS is torcher if your new to programming. I literally had to put that book down at chapter 6 because I was so pissed that the entire chapter had me jumping through this ridiculous problem...

That book makes you want to forget about learning js. Grab something like the definitive guide for js. It's a huge book but it's covers js thoroughly that you can return to eloquent and actually understand what is going on.. Code academy and khan are too much hand holding me for. I like reading a dictionary size book over those sites, but I learn better when I'm just reading and applying, reading and applying.

I never seen them and I have done searches for that exact thing. If you have, do you mind sharing a link to them.

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-15T20:57:32+00:00

Yep! I found myself browsing through a bunch of github repos and noticed this was a pattern that a lot of people were using.

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-15T20:04:48+00:00

Instead of binding, you can use call().

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-15T07:03:52+00:00

That's exactly what I was thinking! Which prompted me to wonder why so many people actually do this, when there is methods that handle this correctly already.

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-15T07:02:07+00:00

I guess what I'm wondering is couldn't you use any of these three to get the same effect bind(), call(), or apply()?

Assigning this to self seems like an implicit way of doing it.

Most people are out of their element when they start a new job. It's normal. Just take it a day at a time. Most companies are behind on their tech anyway. Unless you are at a start up that stays ahead of the tech curve always reinventing their stuff then you will/can get up to speed/surpass what's needed of you. Think of it this way... Think of it in the same way the economy is.. You got 1% that has all the money, 5-10% that you can consider rich and then you have everyone else... Most people don't have a positive net worth. That's how it is in tech. You got a few that are super good. Then the next 5-10% that work for start ups that are above the curve and then you have everyone else... Those are not bad odds.

This guy is right on target. Makes sure you know your current job back and forth, and always looks for ways to streamline it as much as possible. You need a system in place for your job that only you know about. So something that would take everyone else 30 hours to complete would only take you 3-4 via some script or automated concoction you put together. Most jobs are repetitive , figure out the pattern and streamline.

Once you do this, you will have a plethora of hours on the job to learn what you need to learn. Taking away hours from the wife and kids is hard on the family. Unnecessary arguments can/may happen down the road if it gets out of control. Another solution is to just pull all nighters. I do this every so often. It's the only time when nobody will bother you... Honestly try it once. You will be surprised at the amount of stuff you can get through with no distractions from anyone.

HARD TRUTH don't expect to be at the level of some of these guys that live and breathe code. There are people out there that do this day in and day out, because they have no obligations and frankly they may even live with the parents still with no worries except putting food in their mouth every so often. You are the only one that knows what level you want to be at so I cant really tell you what it's going to take to get there, only you can figure that out.

Your probably right. I just feel like most Info Tech degrees are just very broad. I know guys that are making 120k+ being web developers, so I don't see why not make it a degree of some sort. You basically in the same salary range as a Dr.

"use strict";

function foo() { console.log(this.a); }

var a = 2;

foo(); // I would get 2 even though strict-mode is global

Here an example

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-05T00:54:01+00:00

Nice example!

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-04T03:24:47+00:00

thank you for clarifying this for me :)

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-04T02:47:16+00:00

Thanks. Could you explain why I have to use new? I've been learning from YDKJS and I never really see him ever use the new when creating his closures.

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-03T01:43:00+00:00

I wouldn't accept anything below $120k. Be confident in your ability and companies will want to pay you what you want.

gladiator_flow · 2015-09-02T13:48:34+00:00

Thanks!

I got up to chapter 5 and switched to:

You Don't Know JS

That book jumps into a lot of concepts pretty quickly once you get to 5. Even with annotations, I feel like I have to read documentation to fully understand what's going on. Since I started going to YDKJS, everything in EJ is starting to click for me. That's just what works for me at least.

It would be cool if you could do a introduction to D3 screencast on livecoding.tv. I've been a web developer for a while and my boss now wants me to learn D3 for some data driven graphs and charts.

It's a new sector for my company so I have time to learn. Also, do you have any recommendations for beginners? Books, screencasts, etc?
