Basic Guide and Commands

This article contains valuable information to prepare you for familiarizing yourself with the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the most commonly used basics in both MAC and Windows. Below, I will show you the commands and examples for each of them.

Most users are accustomed to using the Graphical User Interface commonly known as (GUI) in English. This interface is very user-friendly as you can easily see folders and files. However, for application developers, it is essential to step out of their comfort zone and use the Command Line Interface known by its initials in English as (CLI) instead of the graphical interface.

Below, you will see images showing examples of the Graphical Interface (GUI) and the Command Line Interface (CLI) in both Mac and Windows.

Examples of (GUI) in Mac and Windows

(GUI) Mac Graphical Interface

(GUI) Windows Graphical Interface

You can notice the difference between the graphical interfaces of the operating systems.

Examples of (CLI) in Mac and Windows

Mac Interface Command Line known as "Terminal"

Windows Interface Command Line known as "Command Prompt"

Commands

Interacting with the Command Line Interface is different from the graphical interface. In the graphical interface, you can see documents and folders as icons, and you can drag and click to make changes such as delete, rename, and perform other actions. In the (CLI), you need to enter commands to make changes.

Each command in a CLI often has more than one part. The required part is the name of the command to execute. There are commands to perform various tasks, from displaying files in a directory to copying, renaming, moving, deleting, compressing, decompressing, and transferring them. Each of these commands is a small program that performs a specialized task.

The parameters are arbitrary and are determined by the command. Many commands support a pattern that matches one or more files in a directory. In this case, the parameter specifies a pattern that matches a file starting with any name but ending in .jpg.

For example, if you want to delete all documents with the .jpg extension, you can do it as follows.

Windows: del *.jpg

Mac: rm *.jpg.

The image below details the structure of a command in "CMD".

This line deletes all documents that match this extension.

Command Table

Windows Command	MacOS/Linux Command	Description
dir	ls	Displays files in the current directory (by default, the current directory)
cd	cd	Change directory or folder
move	mv	Moves a file to a new location (possibly with a new name)
copy	cp	Copy the document
del	rm	Delete or remove a document or folder
..	..	Navigate to the parent directory.
mkdir	mkdir	Create a directory or folder

Flags:

One of the essential features of a flag is to indicate which part of your hard drive the terminal considers the current directory. When you use commands like del or rm, unless you specify a different location, the command will be executed in the current directory.

As you can see below, the indicators vary in the information they present.

Windows Indicator:

These images show how clearly the body of the Windows indicator is detailed.

Mac/Linux Prompt Indicator:

Full-Stack nightmare resolved with Amplify

MailingDelgadoMedina — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 04:20:11 +0000

Hello everyone! My name is Mailing Delgado and I want to share one of my challenging experience as a Full-Stack Developer. I personally love mostly the Front-End and usually this is what consumes me the most. I love to design my page play around with color, typography, etc. First I start creating my design in Figma and then after a few weeks of designing and planning I start to code. By the time that I try to bring my design to life it takes forever. And then preparing my Back-end consumes me even more when I start creating my UML Database Design and I start creating my relationships between tables and I feel that it will never end. Using multiple tools and having 1,000 of windows opened in my browser and programs. It gets supper overwhelming.

Fortunately this nightmare ended by having my All-in-1 tool that thanks to the AWS Community Builders I discovered when I participated in the Amplify Hackathon. This amazing tool has everything you need to develop your Full-Stack app.
AWS Amplify Studio is a visual development tool which has the following features:

Hosting: CI/CD using AWS CloudFormation
Backend:
- Authentication: Amazon Cognito
- Data model: that uses AWS AppSync and GraphQL API to access the data which is stored in Amazon Dynamo DB.
- Storage: Amazon S3
Frontend: bring your design to life by connecting Figma with Amplify just cloning the template and editing the components as you want.
Connect your Frontend with the backend by running a command in the terminal and... Boom! Here you got an app developed fast and easy.

If you are a beginner and don't know where to start don't worry here is the link for the step by step tutorials and the amazing documentation that will get you set!
AWS Amplify Docs

In conclusion, building a Full-stack app can be a daunting task, but thanks to AWS Amplify, the process has become a lot easier. As a developer, it's important to deliver quality projects in a shorter timeline. This was my challenge, but AWS Amplify made it possible for me to create my app without worrying about the complexities of infrastructure and backend development. What I appreciated most about AWS Amplify was the smooth integration with my existing workflow, and the clear documentation that made it easy to get started. With a plethora of services such as authentication, APIs, storage, and hosting, AWS Amplify provided me with all the tools I needed to build a complete app. If you're a developer looking for a way to enhance your productivity and create efficient full-stack applications, I highly recommend giving AWS Amplify a try!

Guía Básica y sus commandos

Este artículo tiene información valiosa te estará preparando para familiarizarte con la Interfaz de Línea de comandos y básicos más utilizados. Tanto en MAC como en Windows. A continuación te estaré mostrando los comandos y los ejemplos con cada uno de ellos.

La mayoría de los usuarios estan acostumbrados a utilizar la Interfaz gráfica mejor conocida como (GUI) sus siglas en inglés. Esta interfaz es muy fácil de utilizar ya que puedes ver con facilidad las carpetas, “folders” y documentos “files”. Para los desarrolladores de aplicaciones es necesario que salgan de su área de su comodidad utilizando la Interfaz de Línea de Comandos mejor conocido en sus siglas en inglés como (CLI) en vez de utilizar la interfaz gráfica.

A continuación verán imagenes que muestran ejemplos de la Interfaz gráfica (GUI) y la Interfaz de Línea de Comando (CLI), tanto en Mac como en Windows.

A continuación estaré mostrando ejemplos de (GUI) en Mac y Windows

(GUI) Interfaz Gráfica de Mac

(GUI) Interfaz Gráfica de Windows

Se puede notar la diferencia de entre las interfaces gráficas de los sistemas operativos.

A continuación estaré mostrando ejemplos de (CLI) en Mac y Windows

Interfaz de Línea de Comando de Interfaz de Mac conocido como "Terminal"

Interfaz de Línea de Comando de Interfaz de Windows conocido como "Command Prompt"

Comandos

Para interactuar con la Interfaz de Línea de Comandos es diferente a la gráfica. En la gráfica puedes ver los documentos y las carpetas en forma de iconos, puedes arrastrar y dar click para hacer cambios como eliminar, renombrar y hacer otros cambios. En el (CLI) hay que escribir comandos para hacer cambios.

Cada comando en una CLI, a menudo, tiene más de una parte. La parte requerida es el nombre del comando a ejecutar. Hay comandos para realizar una gran cantidad de tareas, desde mostrarle los archivos en un directorio hasta copiarlos, renombrarlos, moverlos, eliminarlos, comprimirlos, descomprimirlos y transferirlos. Cada uno de estos comandos es un pequeño programa que realiza una tarea especializada.

Los parámetros son arbitrarios y están determinados por el comando. Muchos comandos admiten un patrón que coincide con uno o más archivos en un directorio. En este caso, el parámetro especifica un patrón que coincide con un archivo que comienza con cualquier nombre pero termina en .jpg

Por ejemplo, si queremos borrar todos los documentos de extension .jpg se puede hacer de la siguiente manera.

Windows se logra escribiendo lo siguiente:del *.jpg

Mac se logra escribiendo lo siguiente: rm *.jpg.

En la imagen que se muestra a continuación detalla la estructura de una línea de comando en el "CMD".

Esta línea borra todos los documentos que sean compatibles con esta extensión.

Tabla de comandos

Comando Windows	Comando MacOS/Linux	Descripción
dir	ls	Muestra los archivos en un directorio actual (por defecto, el directorio actual)
cd	cd	Cambiar de directorio o carpeta
move	mv	Mueve un archivo a una nueva ubicación (posiblemente con un nuevo nombre)
copy	cp	Copia el documento
del	rm	Elimina ó borra un documento o carpeta
..	..	Te ubicas en el directorio o carpeta anterior.
md	mkdir	Creas directorio o carpeta

Indicadores:

Una de las características esenciales del indicador es indicarle en qué parte de su disco duro el terminal considera el directorio actual. Cuando usa comandos como del o rm a menos que especifique una ubicación diferente, el comando se ejecutará en el directorio actual.

Como puede ver a continuación, las indicaciones varían en la información que presentan.

Indicador de Windows:

Se pueden observar en estas imagenes lo claro que detalla el cuerpo del indicador de Windows.

Indicador de Mac/Linux Prompt:

Se pueden observar en estas imagenes lo claro que detalla el cuerpo del indicador de Mac/Linux.

My Personal Opinion Of What Triggers Imposter Syndrome And What You Should Know When Starting To Code

MailingDelgadoMedina — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 07:25:29 +0000

Photo by Chris Ried on Unsplash

I think the impostor syndrome happens to every programmer on a daily basis. Much more to recent graduates, that think when they graduate they feel ready to start working ASAP and it is not that easy. We realize that when we begin to prepare small projects we see that most of what we learned is forgotten and when looking for references in the information obtained from classes we think that with a copy and paste it is solved. This is where we fall into the hell of tutorials thanks to the fact that universities do not teach us the 1000's way to code and that everything is a puzzle. You have to put together more than 6 different pieces of code to make it run! We spend thousands of dollars on degrees and in the end, we learn more in boot camps than in universities. The most interesting thing I have seen and heard that most of the boot camps out there promise people and guarantees a job and when you go to present a resume to a potential employer if you do not have a degree you do not get that job, but if you have the degree you are not 100% prepared to start to work. I personally have my baccalaureate and I have also attended boot camp and I can say that the boot camp has been a reinforcement and a continuous education. This is what needs to be told to people that are beginners and don't have an idea what a "Hello World" is. They only tell them "with this boot camp you are going to learn, you are going to program in days, weeks at least 6 months" when it is not true. When they go out to look for a job they bump to the reality that when the employer asks for a degree which they do not have or for how many years of experience they have, the person is forced to go to college to get a degree. Bootcamps are not bad they are good for a continuing education and maybe pivot you to the right path if you want to be a Full-Stack Dev.

They must be more transparent and be clear with people and tell them "This is continuing education, not a degree we cannot guarantee you a job in a company, but as a freelancer absolutely yes. I urge those who are starting and think that with a 1-month online course they will land in a Software Developer Job and are not be prepared for a job interview when the employer asks for a whiteboard test. First, you have to go to college, have a coding discipline, and at least code 20 hrs a week. You have to dedicate time and years to study and be passionate about the code. This is like going to the gym if you stop exercising you lose your stamina and you have to start from scratch. At least 5 out of 7 days you have to code and keep reading and soaking up more information since the technology evolutions daily you never stop learning. Believe me, you will feel that no matter how much you know you feel that you don't know anything at all. This happens a lot when your code doesn't run and you don't find the bug. Here is when the imposter syndrome comes to attack. You feel that you don't know anything and you fall into tutorial hell. To avoid this, it is best to step away from the code for at least 10 to 15 min do a different activity walk, something that is not related to code. Free yourself from the technology for that time and then go back to the code until you solve it. You can use the pomodoro technique by working 20 mins on the code take 5 - 10 min of break, go back 20 mins to code and repeat this for at least 3 times. When you take your 4th break will be longer for at least 20 min and when comming back to the code do 35 - 45 min straight. Find resources such as developer communities like Frontend Mentor, #PAPAfam, pages like StackOverflow, GitHub, read and know how to ask questions in google search and the most important know how to read and understand the errors in the console this will help you to know what is happening and why is not running.
