Article

This article describes its author’s programming journey. As I mentioned in the previous post, the most difficult part of the coding learning process is to pass its intermediate stage, which is a phase between beginner and advanced programmer. The author of the article sees it the same way.
He makes also some very good points, for example that you should at least try to learn how JS frameworks and libraries work under the hood, which will help you to better understand JS functionalities.
The only problem I have with this article is that the author is only telling you which courses to take or which book to read, but he is not telling what you should do with the acquired knowledge. You should always keep in mind that the most important thing in a learning process is to build your own apps from scratch.


Blog post

This is a great article from Saron Yitbarek, founder of the code newbies, where she describes her personal experience with a programming Bootcamp. Among other things, you will learn what to look for when searching for the bootcamp that will meet your individual needs and that you should always carefully assess the employment percentage of the particular bootcamp’s graduates, since it can be easily manipulated.



Article

Have you ever thought about using JavaScript to program a piece hardware? …for example, to light up your LED?
This article will walk you through the process from getting your hardware to being able to control a LED with a JavaScript code using Node.js.
I was amazed by how simple is to get the hardware and to start control it with JavaScript. I'm even playing with the idea of buying the Arduino starter kit myself.



Blog post

I came across this blog post when reading the documentation to the React JS library. Its main massage is that you should always think hard about new ideas, which might seem like a nonsense to you at first. Before dismissing them straight away, you should ask questions about them instead. It is an easy task to dismiss someone’s unconventional idea, much harded task is to think about it and accept it .
