I learned how to create a Flutter barcode SDK plugin this week. I've published the plugin to pub.dev and implemented a simple Android app for scanning barcodes.

I learned that if you feel like you have something to tell or show to the world - just do it instead of finding more and more excuses!

Nick Taylor • Apr 23 '21

Yeah!

This year, with my new job, I was able to afford a virtual art class and I'm currently learning about the skeleton and human anatomy! :3

it's not really dev related but for a while now I've felt like half my brain is heavier than the other and returning to drawing is a way to level that out! 🎉

Hey, I learned that just going through some good content every morning makes you feel so fortunate. You feel exhilarated while performing any task of the day. ❤

Sharing link of one such video below 🧠💯

I learned Dev has a pretty solid API which I can use for integration with eleventy :)

Nick Taylor • Apr 23 '21 • Edited

For folks interested in the DEV API, check out our API documentation.

Also, @coffeecraftcode and I did a stream on the DEV Twitch Stream this week with @jlengstorf for anyone interested.

We talked about Jamstack, serverless, and had some fun pairing on a project using the DEV API and Netlify’s serverless functions. Check it out and if you aren’t already, give us a follow at twitch.tv/thepracticaldev!

Here's the repository for the project we worked on with the @ThePracticalDev API and Netlify serverless functions on the stream today, github.com/nickytonline/f…

Fork it and have some fun! #DEVCommunity twitter.com/coffeecraftcod…

If you missed the Twitch stream with @jlengstorf , check it out on @thepracticaldev Youtube. We talked Jamstack, serverless, and @nickytonline and Jason used serverless functions on Netlify to quickly set up an API to grab DEV posts with the DEV API. 🥳 https://t.co/pMnlitQt7N

Do some CSS art. It is not complex but I like to create it.
Create Discord bot using Ruby. I love this language and I cannot find its practical uses other than Rails or Hanami. Ruby is suitable for Discord bot.

I found an alternative for postman and shared with our community

Cool stuff. You can link it right here if you want. Just use the link liquid tag, e.g. {% link link_to_your_post %}

That's a new thing for me thanks ☺️

This week I started getting my JS and CSS basics strong. I learned about rendering engine, prototypal inheritance. I'm listening to various podcast related to web development and basics.
