Heyo newbies!
I'm curious what y'all are learning about this weekend...
Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of ...

I just got back into programming. I did some basic JS, TailwindCSS and now am doing Vue!
Hello zactionn, If you have any questions or need any help getting started, please don't hesitate to ask. Our community is filled with friendly and knowledgeable members who are always happy to assist.
Heartfelt. Thank you so much for the support. I'm restarting programming at 40!
You're truly an inspiration for us, Proud to have you here.
Very nice!! Covering lotsa bases there. Wishing ya the best as ya get back into it!
I'm currently getting back into it myself and learning Vuejs 3 Composition API through the official docs. I felt like this was a framework to learn first before switching to Sveltekit
I’ve been thinking about learning a new language. What do you guys think about Go?
My background is in backend (mainly) using C#, Java, and TS. Working on NodeJS more often nowadays, and I really enjoy it. Although, I’d love to add something new to my tech stack
I love go. I worked on the Go dev guide at AWS a couple of years ago and wrote a ton of simple code examples for it. Since I've been away from go for a while, I'm going through the go track at exercism(.org).
Nothing heavily code related but moved our e-commerce store from bigcommerce to shopify over the last few days.
At present running a number of crawlers to pick up any issues during the move and improving some of the code execution to get us a really good pagespeed score on Google.
Have to say the shopify graphql setup is really nice, built out our own Google/meta/Pinterest product feeds using node-red to pull the data from Shopify. First time I've come across their batch endpoint which supplies JsonL (JSON lines) instead of a bog standard CSV export. This got me into stream processing the data from the Jsonl file and transforming before going into postgres.
Other bits and pieces around mapping shopping events to klaviyo for email marketing and improving the abandoned cart and checkout flows they have to auto rebuild their baskets when they abandon early. Hopefully the extra effort amending the klaviyo events to include the whole basket data from Shopify API will give a nice uptick in conversions
Nice!! Sounds like you're making some really helpful improvements. 🙌
We use Shopify to power our shop as well... such a handy system!
I'm working on my Next.js and React skills!
Very nice! Hope ya get some good learnings in. 😀
Me too. I'm loving NextJs so far !
yea the docs are amazing!
Working with Astro mixing markdown content, vanilla HTML, Tailwind CSS, and some React.
It's quite fun!
Very nice! Hope it was a productive weekend and that ya also made some time to chill. 🙂
I've been doing the first problem on Project Euler as I wanted a challenge with programming and math simultaneously. I've really enjoyed it so far and even came across a concept called dynamic programming, specifically bit-masking, to help me solve similar and bigger problems in the future; I used masking in networking when working out subnets in CCNA, so was nice to see I had relevant practice already with a concept that would otherwise go straight over my head.
Python and AWS Security Specialty since AWS is changing the exam July 11, 2023.
Oooo nice, Carla! I see you working on those certifications regularly — awesome stuff. I hope everything is going well and wish ya the best on the upcoming exam(s)! 🙌
I have been putting both off. I am already a Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Expert. Getting my AWS security specialty certificaiton would make me multi-cloud in the cloud security space.
Developing a mini game with Rust and Bevy seems like a great thing for the weekend too
Heck yeah it does! Did you end up following through with this one? If so, I'm curious what kinda game ya built...
Not yet, I'm still in the early stages. I have an idea for a game similar to snake dot io but with the addition of selecting heroes with unique skills. This will be a project to help me get more familiar with Bevy and Rust
This weekend been learning to automate Blender rendering and creating random and animated blocks and cubes with Python Scripting. :)
This sounds like an interesting one! I love hearing about the creation of animations and visuals. 🙂
This may not be of any interest to ya, but hearing what you're working on reminded me of this cool series that @chrisgreening has been creating on building Spyrographs in Python.
If ya get curious, the series starts here:
Configuring the Spyrograph trace method to explore stunning geometric visualizations in Python

@fedmich that's awesome!!! I've always wanted to get into Blender scripting with Python - sounds like a really neat project :D
And thank you so much @michaeltharrington for sharing my series, hugely appreciated!!!! 😎
I'm learning Next.JS and sharpening my React.js skills and learning Java and Rust.
Nice!! Ya got a lotta things you're learning on. Drink that java and learn that java! ☕️
I'm learning how to integrate Django with React, also combining with data stuff, like plots for statistics...
Implementing oracles principle in smart contract using chainlink functions
Making through chapter 9 of “Designing Data Intensive Applications”. Understanding consistency and consensus requires patience.
Oooo I can imagine it does! Good on ya for digging in deeply, Samudra.
I'm trying to make a Blog in React...just did my Navbar to sort the articles on a year/month/day basis, currently I am working on building dynamic routes for all of them.
I'll work on my personal website & a recipe app for me and my girlfriend with Next this weekend.
Good
