It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.
Feel free to comment with what you learnt and/or reference your TIL post to give it some more exposure.
#todayilearned
Summarize a concept that is new to you.
And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

I followed this post to whip up a proof of concept I was thinking about...
Making a browser using ElectronJS
Ben ・ Jan 31 ・ 1 min read
First time using Electron for real. Even though I wasn't working on anything for production, it was a lot of fun to have a native app running so quickly.
Testing a legacy angularjs / node app, both parts (client and server) with Jest. The online documentation I found for getting Jest working with an angularjs project wasn't great, but a co-worker had done the same on another project, so she helped me get going and I added some wins of my own and now this project actually runs tests at CI before building deployment packages, which it didn't before, so I feel like a winner (:
Sounds like some awesome knowledge that could be shared via an article. 😺
Yeah, I've been trying to encourage my co-worker to publish an article about it here because she figured out some of the tricky bits before I got there - she deserves a reasonable amount of kudos. Perhaps I should offer to co-author something - I don't think she blogs yet, so perhaps it's a bit intimidating?
I got to know more about
styled-components,styled-themingandlocalStoragethis week for my React project.That's awesome! 🔥
hahah, yesss!
I found out about task the task runner and also minify an asset minifier.
In other news, I learned about how themes work in zola (a static site generator).
made a twitch (@shwethaaa ) and #todayilearned how to start a twitch stream & follow livecoders to see practices they use when programming daily. as with dev.to, always useful to have a community :D
Also figured out how to get my webhooks working in discord finally. #smallvictory
Nice! I recently started streaming as well.
I've Started to Live Code on Twitch for DEV

I have learned to post blogs on dev.to by learning javascript and I can say it feels awesome.
Noice!
Started learning Docker
I learned to use and work with socket.io, which will help me create a real time dasboard for data from my sensor network.
Started learning Next js and Vue js(as a React Dev)...Next js docs are a joy to work with, and Vue is so awesome in its simplicity!
Nice!
I learned this week that I am re-inventing the wheel... AGAIN...
