Check out TSDX if you’re going to do your next project with TypeScript.

I learned about the package manager known as Nix. I read somewhere that it can be installed in others linux distributions besides NixOS, so I've been testing it in a Debian system. This thing has A LOT of features, I'm starting to think is a bit of an overkill for my needs.

I'm going through the SICP for quite some time. I learned this week how to build data structures with pairs in Scheme.

I'm sure it sounds boring for many people... but I love it 🥰

Awesome!

Each time I see the Power Glove, I want one.

I learnt, getting on the frontpage of ProductHunt (as amazing as it is!) doesn't equal lots of signups immediately. Only time will tell!

I learned how to fetch a GraphQL API in React using Apollo. I found it much easier than using vue-apollo in a Vue.js program.

At this week, I join HITCON 2020 to learn and know about the overview of cyber security for many domains. Such as ICS (Industry Control System), offensive and defensive platform and so on :)!

Sounds like it would make for a great blog post!

As a newbie to Web Development, this week I learned a lot ! Although, it did take me a hella lot of time to wrap my head around some concepts ! Here are somethings I learned this week:

1. fetch an API
2. Use express.js to create static web page server
3. Use npm
4. Use nedb as a database to store the response from the API and also grab the data from the database.
5. Learned how the whole relationship between the client and the server side and how both work together. (especially while creating the "endpoints" part)

That's awesome! 🔥
