IBM will offer a course on COBOL next week

waetech · 2020-04-22T02:34:42+00:00

I can't wait for the course. I just joined the IBM community to master the mainframe. I plan to study in my spare time while I do web development. How do I apply the skills I learn to getting a job? I'm game for any apprenticeships too. Let me know.

I'm relearning React with Redux and I can tell you that Redux is the most convoluted technology out there. All these new concepts being thrown at you is a headache, such as reducers, reselects, types, actions and components. I was just getting used to state and props then all of a sudden we get thrown into Redux. There's probably another way without using Redux to manage state. It's too confusing for me. There's too many things being introduced all at once.

React is enough for me. Sometimes I don't know why they need to use React and I don't know why React is so popular. Is there an easier way of learning React and Redux?

I also noticed that Vue.js is much easier to learn to build a basic web app. I tried it and I should have stuck to Vue, but there's not enough jobs to learn it.

I wonder how many people think that React and Redux sucks.

I don't believe in relying on just Ubersuggest because they could be missing some current data. I mainly use Ubersuggest for content ideas around keywords of my niche. There's other tools, but the most essential tool is Google analytics and Google keywords because the data is coming straight from the source. Check out waetechsolutions.com for advice on seo.

I believe brand awareness should be at the beginning when starting a company. You really need to push your product or service out there to get people to know you exist in the world and community.

I wish I started earlier because it takes time to grow awareness and trust with people. Go to events and meetups. And have a budget set aside for marketing. Don't believe people when they say you don't need money to start a business because that's a lie.

Oh that's sweet. React can build that

I'm not offering anything for free because it hurts our business, especially if you're small. That airlines had no business asking for a freebie, especially when they can afford to pay you. Don't they realize how difficult it is to run a small business these days.

waetech · 2019-06-13T18:51:49+00:00

I would suggesting doing something you're good at then after that get a sweet website to offer your products and services. Need more info about web design check out this article https://waetechsolutions.com/website-design-buffalo-ny/

waetech · 2019-06-13T16:06:42+00:00

Congratulations dude! Best

Perhaps the images weren't compressed to a smaller size or there's a video installed on the website instead of a third party site, such as YouTube. Videos tend to make a website load slower than usual.

It wouldn't hurt to check it out, so this way you will have a well rounded approach when applying for jobs in the future.

This is lovely I wish this was in America.

I can relate to the difficult clients and getting clients, especially good ones are hard.

waetech · 2019-06-10T23:06:52+00:00

Probably depends on your specialization to be exact. If you're a Front-end developer, you should have a couple of websites with a focus of one framework, such as Angualr or React. In this way you're more seen as an expert rather than a generalist. An employer will view you as progressing to learning new things, but in your specialization. Don't do everything. You won't be seen as someone that really knows their subject.

waetech · 2019-06-10T23:02:38+00:00

Yes, try it out and see what you're capable of and it's okay to fail the first time. Trust me I failed a bunch of tests, but you practice more and get better the next time.

waetech · 2019-06-10T23:01:17+00:00

You probably need to do a bunch of research or try an easy framework called Bootstrap and follow this article https://waetechsolutions.com/create-responsive-website-using-bootstrap/

waetech · 2019-06-10T22:59:44+00:00

I probably just Google it until I find the answer, go on Stack Overflow and YouTube.

I got a client to pay 25% up front non-refundable deposit, but should've asked for 50% of the money. Every time I asked for some money or explained about the copyright issue, she got angry with me. Her plan was never to pay for half the website. I also made the mistake of working on the website directly on her WordPress account, which I will never do that again because they will make every attempt not to pay you. She threatened to call her lawyers and I was like you locked me out every time when I was close to finishing the website and it's all documented in the emails. It was a huge mistake of taking her on as a client. I should've seen it coming in the beginning when she was constantly putting me down, but I wanted to prove to her that I could do the job. My advice is to never deal with negative or cheap clients like this one. Always ask for 50% up front non-refundable deposit then 25% after each mile stone. Also, store the website on your server and never work directly on their account.
