My win this week was that we are now self-hosting our own instance of Moodle. We'd love to see many register and then post their guides to help us become one of the biggest tech learning platforms!
Host your E-Learning platform with Moodle

I reached more than 2400 Follower!
My Discord gained 225+ people, my open-source project has 200+ forks and over 1,400+ Stars. But more than this, there are people willing to contribute to it more and more. That's the spirit of open-source development.
Thank you all 🙏
Cool!
Might be able to use this, love the idea.
Noice!
Finished implementing the bytecode compilation part of my new JVM. I'm now building the Java API. Since I'm doing it as a clearn room implementation this is a huge task but I'm starting small and focusing on getting hello world to compile. Then slowly building from there.
Did an AMA in CodeRanch about my newer book (I have two new books so this is confusing) this boosted it to the top spot for application development for a couple of days.
Awesome!
That's pretty cool. Are you building a compiler for learning purposes? Or are you writing a book on compilers? 👀
By the way, the link you shared is broken. Looks like bad Markdown.
Thanks, fixed that link.
I already wrote an AOT JVM a few years back for Codename One. Since then I gave this a lot of thought and I think I can make an AOT compiler that will produce binaries as fast or faster than C. I think this can be very useful especially with the rising popularity of GraalVM. I think there's room for an AOT VM that's purely about performance and low overhead.
I’ve reached 10k followers on DEV 😱🥳
Woot woot! Congrats on that Bobby. 🙌
Thanks a lot Michael 🥳
I built my first JavaScript plugin! It's called Random.js and it has functions for things like random numbers, strings, and even colors. Then I built a Scratch extension, because I've always wanted to :)
I started learning Three.js and React Three Fiber.
Now I'm creating a virtual escape room.
Virtual escape room, neat!
I built a chess game using Pygame Chess
Oh nice one, Sadeedpv!
I had a really fun Twitch stream this week. We did a workout and then discussed Anna Nettles journey into tech. She's a career transitioner going from personal trainer to engineer.
Here's a highlight from the stream where you get to see me ugly sweat lol.
Awesome! Cool spin on things, doing a not-so-typical live stream for programmers. 🏋️
I have a mentor we worked on his open source project, and a month back he thought to start his own company and he gave me a GUI project and paid me too
And that's how I earned my first salary 🐬
Woot woot! Congrats on that, Atul. That's fantastic!
Thanks 🫂
