Nov. 24, 2019: What did you learn this week?

This is not a new concept for a post or Tweet. David Walsh usually posts one every week.

Having said that, I thought it’d be fun to start a weekly series on DEV where people just comment with something they learnt this week. It could be programming tips, career advice etc.

And if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.👇👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

What was your win this week?

I baked my first wild yeast bread.

[Nick Taylor]

Sounds yummy. Fresh hot bread is hard to resist. 😉

[Bruce Axtens]

It is yummy and very hard to resist, especially on my one-meal-a-day days. It's quite a change from the usual stuff I do, mostly biscuits (cookies), and the odd dessert (see cooking blog.)

Learned how to set up and connect to a postgresql RDB on AWS. Lots of tiny steps and seemed to be nothing out there for a AWS newbie in terms of a tutorial in how to get up a simple RDB set up on AWS for a node project. (There are tons on mongodb out there). Looks like it’s time to share what I learned with a post.

[Hugo]

I learned to deploy to Elastic Beanstalk from a docker-compose file.

[Zohar Peled]

This week I've started to learn how to use DocFX to generate static HTML pages from xml documentation of an open source .Net project I've been working on as a side project.

[Peter Witham]

So this week I learned that SwiftUI multiline text fields are not something Apple thought would be obvious in the first release, the discovery and workaround continues :)

Thanks Apple!

BE: Securing a GraphQL server
SysOps: proxmox

[Anderson. J]

I learned about the web share API and how it improve the experience for users in a PWA.

Also, I wrote about it 😉

[Nick Taylor]

Nice! Care to share your post you wrote here in the comments?

[Anderson. J]

Sure! dev.to/andersonjoseph/presentando-...

(It is in spanish, btw)

Well, i work mainly with C# dotnet core.

I used specflow to do BDD in an webapi that i already made, had some problems with the installation to make it work.

At the same time, solved some issues with async and tasks.

And now i am studying and following tutorial to use Graphql in this webapi, also trying to continue my course of web development bootcamp.

This was a small learning but this past week I learned about Rails reflect_on_all_associations method. You can use it to list out all related tables for an ActiveRecord::Model which is super helpful when you are trying to look at all related data for a single entry.

I sat down and built a tiny web app using Vue. I was surprised how easy it was to pick up and figure out, so that felt pretty great 😄
