I think most of online tutorials are too shallow and don't really help specifically new developers to understand everything needed to work on real-world projects.
I'm hoping that with my course, developers will quickly level up their skills to the point where they can start a brand new project from scratch with confidence.
I got to interview Josh Goldberg, author of "Learning TypeScript", and we had a nice conversation about whether or not JS devs should be learning TypeScript and why it's such a great piece of technology.
What do you think? Are you pro or against TypeScript?
I had the chance to interview Eduardo San Martin, the creator of Pinia.
We talked about state management, Vue, the design philosophy behind the library and what are his plans for it.
I got the chance to interview Chance, one of the developers behind Remix.
We talked about what makes Remix so unique, covering topics such as Progressive enhancement and nested routes.
It's a very interesting conversation, specially if you haven't had a chance to try Remix yet, so make sure to check it out!
Have you tried Remix before? What are your thoughts on it?
How did you become a developer? What drove you into this profession?
I wrote about how I started in this article, hopefully, to show others that no matter how messy your "origin story" is, you can still make it as a great developer!
I got to interview Liran Tal, security researcher, about the current status of the security within the JavaScript ecosystem.
Turns out, there are quite a few problems we still need to figure out and solve. The supply chain attacks are very dangerous, specially if developers ignore the threat altogether.
Do you think Deno solves some of these issues through its permissions sheme?
A while ago I interviewed Chris Holt and Rob Eisenberg (UX experts from Microsoft) about Web Components, and I got to learn a lot about the current status of web components (a technology I thought was dead, but it isn't!).
Check it out, I'd love to know what everyone thinks about this topic!
Thanks for the feedback! It seems developers would like to have a place like this, I'm trying to understand if this is something startups would be interested in using.
As for your first question, my plan was to let you, as a developer, pick your interests instead of "guessing" them based on your commit history. Meaning, letting you pick things like preferred languages, size of the project and so on. Once you've selected your initial set of preferences, your likes and follows (of projects) would also influence your recommendations.
Glad to know that the startup option would also be interesting! All the feedback I've received so far has been from developers, you're the first one validating the business plan as a whole, so thanks for taking the time to do so!
I'm hoping that with my course, developers will quickly level up their skills to the point where they can start a brand new project from scratch with confidence.
