Help Me, Im Stuck in Wordpress World! LearnCode.academy 2017-09-18 | This video is designed to help you break into development arenas that CMSs may have been shielding you from.$10 Free digitalocean server credit: http://webdev.willstern.com/digitaloceanThis video is called "help me, I'm stuck in Wordpress world." Now a few things I should point out right away.First of all, you can subsitute any CMS in for Wordpress - Drupal, CraftCMS, and so on.This video is for developers who find themselves stuck in the deadzome of being proficient in a CMS, but feel much less capable outside of one.I personally was stuck here for at least 5 years and I personally know many, many dozens of developers who are stuck here now.So it is very real.Secondly, I have to mention that there is nothing inherently wrong with Wordpress, Drupal, or any CMS.They serve a very important purpose and many top-notch companies need and use them.The problem many developers experience is that when they're learning web development, a CMS helps them get very far very fast through templates and plugins.After a while of developing in a templates-and-plugins world, developers often find themselves in a dead end.They've been shielded from many aspects of development and can't break out of where they are.How Do I Know This is me?: If any or all of these apply to you: - "you're comfortable creating sites in a CMS, but uncomfortable creating sites outside of a CMS" - "you think in terms of hacking/tweaking existing things instead of building new things - e.g. find a calendar plugin and tweak it fit to your needs, find a template and tweak a template, etc" - "when asked to build a backend feature - like a login, a calendar, an email form, social network type of feature - you only know how to do it with plugins" - "if you were asked to make an app like pinterest, facebook, twitter, without a CMS, you'd have no clue where to begin" - "you don't actually know how a CMS works and what it's doing behind the scenes - you have no idea how to begin to build the CMS you're using" If this is you, do not feel bad: - Just be aware of the fact that SO MUCH of the development community know the answers to the questions above...and you should too. - ONE EXCEPTION you consider yourself and want to consider yourself a designer. Your true passion is look/feel, you have no desire to learn development and intentionally stop at HTML/CSS/Maybe-lightweight-JS like jQuery. - In saying that, when I was stuck for those 5 years, I told myself that it was because I was "a designer", when the truth was, all I knew how to be was a designer. I didn't know that I absolutely loved development, because I had never learned it. I was in a box and never knew that I was. Many developers I know were there as well.-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Also watch: "Tailwind CSS - why CSS utility classes save so much time" youtube.com/watch?v=oU5ar0dmQEY-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

Yarn vs NPM - You wont believe how fast it is LearnCode.academy 2017-03-13 | Yarn is the hot new drop-in NPM replacement utility for projects using node.js packages. It's way faster, more stable, and more secure than NPM and you can use it with zero configuration on your end.In the sample for this video, the NPM install takes between 20 and 30 seconds for just a few packages, while the yarn install takes 4-10 seconds to install all of the node packages. Yarn is also more predictable across environments, so you don't need to npm-shrinkswrap anything, because Yarn manages the dependency tree with a yarn.lock file automatically.-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Also watch: "Tailwind CSS - why CSS utility classes save so much time" youtube.com/watch?v=oU5ar0dmQEY-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-

EXTREMELY FAST & SIMPLE CI TESTING - SemaphoreCI LearnCode.academy 2016-08-26 | SemaphoreCI is a great testing platform primarily because it's blazing fast. In just a few seconds, we'll get continuous testing up and running for our Javascript Project!SEMAPHORECI: semaphoreci.comTHE CODE:github.com/willrstern/semtestTHE BLOG POST:semaphoreci.com/community/tutorials/how-to-test-react-and-mobx-with-jestThe #1 thing that I care about with continuous testing is SPEED. I want my tests to start running immediately and be completed very quickly. Enter SemaphoreCI. I'm not entirely sure how they do it, but they run and complete tests incredibly quickly.For this sample javascript app with React and MobX with Enzyme and Jest, it takes 45 seconds on my local mac to run npm install and jest. The first time I run tests on SemaphoreCI, the tests complete in 60seconds, which is incredible. Even more amazing is that the continuous integration tests complete 4 times as fast the second time...in 16 seconds! Continuous integration with SemaphoreCI means that pull requests are flagged as ready-to-merge much faster, which means your workflow is far less hindered.-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Also watch: "Tailwind CSS - why CSS utility classes save so much time" youtube.com/watch?v=oU5ar0dmQEY-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
MobX tutorial #2 - Computed Values and Nested/Referenced Observables LearnCode.academy 2016-08-17 | MobX is AWESOME. It makes React.js programming fun and it...just...works. Get the code here:GET THE CODE:github.com/learncodeacademy/react-js-tutorials/tree/master/6-mobx-reactTHERE ARE 2 BRANCHES: "master" for where we end up and "start" for where we start.MobX builds on the concept of observable values. When React observes a value, it can automatically update the UI whenever the value changes. This makes programming with MobX and Reactjs extremely simple.All it takes to begin is to install mobx and mobx-react and make sure that you are transforming class properties and decorators in Babel.Now, you simply add @observable to your MobX class and you've successfully built a MobX observable store.To "observe" the store, you pass in a MobX store as a prop and you decorate your React component with the @observer decorator.Voila...you're reacting to store changes in React.-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Also watch: "Tailwind CSS - why CSS utility classes save so much time" youtube.com/watch?v=oU5ar0dmQEY-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
