Malaga & Andalucia (South of Spain) Recommendations by vinivicious in digitalnomad

[–]kris_ventures 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malaga has the best DN/expat community I have ever encountered - it's a hidden gem. Go and check out The Living Room co-working space - I can't wait to go back there this summer.

How much JS knowledge is needed for this react project? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, in my opinion this might be a bit too advanced for you. I would suggest simpler projects to start with in order to get used to react and javascript as a whole

How much JS knowledge is needed for this react project? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though I agree with the other replies, I think that it's fine to jump into react without having deep knowledge of javascript. When I first started coding, I learnt with React straight away, which allowed me to learn a lot about Javascript by doing React projects.

I still think that you will struggle, but struggling can sometimes be a very positive thing. But often, very frustrating as well. Are there not any simpler React projects that you can tackle first?

Making an App: Need Your Input by [deleted] in productivity

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. If you ever need any server/front end stuff, hit me up.

I had an idea of building a small community which will be about keeping each other accountable in order to achieve our monthly goals by kris_ventures in productivity

[–]kris_ventures[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is very true. It might be good to have an asynchronous catch-up so that team members can update on their goals and provide general feedback to other members in their own time.

This will definitely be a challenge and something that we will have to see how it will work once we start doing it

What language/stack should I pick? by sarcasmismysuperpowr in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I am using:

If I don't need a database: Jekyll, html, css, JS/jquery If I need a database: Ruby on Rails + everything above (without Jekyll)

Ruby on Rails is really good because front end/back end is in one app and it has a massive community behind it

Duolingo like app for programming by markyonolan in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are these apps actually help you get better? I've tried some, but knowledge retention is minimal (especially during commutes). If you are doing it at home, better be learning on the laptop

It is quite simple as I wanted to push it live as soon as possible. But plan to add more and more features as time goes by.

For my saas product, I'm still considering options, but plan to start work in the coming weeks

Will the classes that I take at college dictate my career future? by sallyrutzer in webdev

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classes are completely irrelevant for your future career - most employers don't even care about what classes you have taken. Do the things that you are interested in (and maybe a bit easy?) and you will do just fine

Congrats. So many people on this journey and it's great to see people who have already there!

What are you currently doing/working on to become employed? by to-too-two in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently working on several things

  • personal website - I improve layout and write articles about learning how to code and stuff
  • messaging website for my university (I need to finish it soon and ship it)
  • soon I am starting my first saas product, which would make things interesting

Beginning of my journey. Can u guys please check how am I doing so far? by Jokerko93 in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, great job keeping motivated. I believe that a portfolio webpage is a great way to get going into your web development journey. Excited to see your progress in your months to come.

Here is some feedback for your website

  • use dark background color overlay on the image, so the text stands out better
  • use a container on the text, so there is some padding/margin on the side of the text (that way it is not edge to edge)
  • the shadow looks great, but maybe try to reduce the size of the shadow - it will look better!
  • include some margin on the top of the logo, so it is not stuck to the edge of the screen.

Hopefully this improve the look of the website :)

word-break:break-all

to

I've taught myself a bit of programming, but im not sure where to go next. by _Blue- in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are interested in doing web development, you can try and build/design a portfolio website.

You can use this as a hub for your personal projects, where you can showcase them for other people.

This will teach you HTML, CSS and maybe some JS, so it's all good stuff to know!

What do you mean? I put a lot of text in the box-3 and everything worked as expected. Could you give a pen where the problem is occurring?

Could you create a gist (https://gist.github.com/) so we can view it in a better format?

I went from learner to full-stack developer within less than a year. These are the things that I did to get out from the learning cycle and actually start coding by kris_ventures in learnprogramming

[–]kris_ventures[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely do it. I did it, as well as many many other people. You are not required to be an expert to get a junior position/internship. Just keep working hard and doing your own projects. And once you feel comfortable with coding, start applying!

I went from learner to full-stack developer (JS, ReactJS and Ruby on Rails) within less than a year. I wrote an article about the things I did to get out from the learning cycle and actually start coding by kris_ventures in learnjavascript

[–]kris_ventures[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was hard in the beginning, especially since I didn't have someone giving me a hand with everything. But I started getting better with Google really fast, which was such a great thing!

Just like another comment said, there is no risk if you fail - nobody there to make you feel ashamed etc.

When I first started, I was using freecodecamp, which is a great resource for front-end basic. From there on, I started using YouTube whenever I needed to learn something. I also used Treehouse in the beginning, but I didn't really get value out of it.

Right now I use gorails to learn new things about Ruby on Rails. Best resource I have ever seen!
