Last month I finished reading The Pragmatic Programmer. I will admit I don’t necessarily enjoy reading software development books in my spare time,...

If you know React and ES6 well, Vue.js should be a piece of cake.
I'm kind of the other way around - focused on Vue, because I like JavaScript and don't care to learn JSX -- but there's so many full-stack/front-end jobs that demand react. 😒
Don't know about specific editors you may use, but for everyone who needs this... At least on Linux and Windows, you can often select with
Shiftand arrows - up and down arrows select a line, left and right select a character. Adding theCtrlmodifier selects a word (left-right) or paragraph (up-down).Thanks! I use VSCode - maybe I'll do another post about the shortcuts :)
Well,
ctrl-shift-{left|right}works to select a word at a time.Shift-{up|down}selects a line.Ctrl-shift-{up|down}enables multi-line editing. Useful if you want to replace a variable name on multiple consecutive lines.I'm a big fan of
Alt-{up|down}... It moves the current line (or selection) up or down the file. Re-order your file without copy/pasting.Oh indeed! Why do software books have to be so dry?!
The Pragmatic Programmer was the first -- and still best -- software development book I read. My main takeaway (possibly from the introduction) was: always ask "Why are we doing this?" I feel this book is filled with answers to that question.
Great write-up Emma!
Thanks Murray!
Thanks for the write up Emma. I've been meaning to do something similar for all books I read.
Another kind of knowledge bank; I've not really succeeded yet though!
I like the idea of an engineering daybook, I've dabbled with this in the past too, but yet to find a way of doing it that is both easy to write and easy to search. That said I've been using Nuclino at work for a while now and that could be a good candidate.
My hand-writing is abysmal so I doubt I would use paper personally.
It would also make searching for info impractical.
Yeah I've been chucking my notes into Bear right now, which I'm finding is okay but I definitely have a lot of notes that kind of just get lost in there too.
I read TPP a couple of years ago, one takeaway for me is not to live with broken windows.
I just finished the book last week. I think the engineering daybook, property-based testing and think about programs as transformation topics were my favourites.
Just make them randomly but always the same random data or you may get also random non repeatable tests fails which is annoying at best :)
Thanks for sharing. It is on my list of books to read. I'm currently reading Code Complete Volume 2.
Good post, thanks. As a side note, with your last name you were destined to become a programmer. Good luck!
Thankyou! I guess you're right 😆
