We all want to learn new things and master different skills. However, it's not possible to learn everything from that checklist. A few things always get left out - no matter how much you try.

So, what are a few things you are looking forward to learn in 2020?

Grow your coding skills with Coding Garden 😍👨‍💻👩‍💻✌️

Hello 👋

(English is not my first language, please don't mind the mistakes)

I want to share about a tech/coding youtuber, who sits on top of my youtube creators list: Coding Garden with CJ.

I think it is a very good resource to grow your coding skills and become a better developer day by day.

CJ has a great style of doing things and he has also taught students at coding bootcamp, which really makes him a very good mentor. I am following him since last year, and from his #1st stream I became his fan.

Great thing about CJ is he teaches the topic in a very simple manner so beginner can get to know all about it.

CJ does livestreams which helps a lot as it shows how to debug/refactor our code in real-time because most of the other tech youtuber's just upload the tutorial which does not showcase what goes behind the scene like debugging some error etc...

These are the different kinds of livestreams he does:

Solving code-katas on Codewars -- If you are learning to code then you must check this out.

Morning tea with CJ -- In these he talks about latest javascript, webdev news and build things with the latest tech.

Frontend Frameworks -- Here he builds web apps in realtime using React, Vue, Angular or Svelte

And for more you can check the playlist where he have build full stack apps + deployed it.

If you like this post then show some ❤️. Also share your favourite tech youtube channels, so everyone can learn ✨

Happy Coding 🐱‍🏍

Completed Hacktoberfest 2019 🎉✨🦄

2019 has been the first time I participated in Hacktoberfest, it was a lot of fun participating in the open-source contribution and it still feels it's the beginning and don't stop contributing.

I came to know about Hacktoberfest by my friend last year and this year I came across a twitter post which reminded me about Hacktoberfest.

My contribution have been pretty diverse from discord-bot to building functional libraries but it has been a lot of fun to get to know about cool projects and awesome developers and most important that I am also a part of those projects now.

One of the key thing which I love doing is building well architecture code-base which results in high scalability as you can painlessly add new features to it and test it, so all the projects I contributed have been very well documented + following clean code guidelines with very good tooling.

It's okay to spend some time choosing right project for you, as your developer experience will depend on that, and enjoy contributing.

If you are bored coding so long on same project, you should definitely try open source it will be a charm.

Happy Coding 😎.
