Happy New Year, everyone! May your 2019 be filled with met deadlines, fixed bugs and smooth product releases. I'm currently taking my first steps into mobile development with Flutter, and damn, it's such a fun framework.

Hoping to release my first app this year!

Woah, this is neat!

Thanks for adding this to my "what to look out for" list!

It's impressive to have so much power with their custom widgets, and interesting architecture using Dart (also something I've not heard of)! Count me as also being excited about your Flutter post!

I'll write some proper posts about Flutter here soon, but my first impression after using it for around a week is: "app development the way it should be".

The thing is, I have no experience making apps any other way, but everything just seems to work perfectly with Flutter. It is certainly has it's cons, but they are undoubtedly worth it for the speed and simplicity you get with Flutter. It's the best framework I've ever used, period.

(Not that I've used that many though...)

Nice to meet you Mark! As someone who wants to learn more about using React for building web applications, what are some of your personal favorite advantages about React that other web frameworks do not offer?

Collapse
 
markpalfreeman profile image
Mark Palfreeman

Hey Danny! Starting off with Angular 1 (granted, quite a bit's changed since then), there were a few significant advantages when I learned React:

  • React as a pure UI layer that mimics good JS practices
  • Community/documentation/use cases are widespread
  • Job opportunities

Take it with a grain of salt, because I haven't looked at Angular in 2 years, and I haven't used Vue at all.

Thread Thread

Danny Dore • Edited

Thanks for the response and your comments on the advantages about React!

I think those are all very good points and I feel similar regarding what React offers versus Angular and Vue. I have learned about so many people on Twitter who get really good at developing with React over a very short period of time, and they end up creating beautiful and interesting web applications and land amazing job opportunities.

Hey Mark!

I also consider myself a UI / frontend developer! I liked your points on using React in this comment thread. I currently live in Las Vegas, but I'm curious about React opportunities in Seattle?

Collapse

Mark Palfreeman

There are tons! Seattle is a thriving market for web/JS opportunities. Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook are all using React (and growing), and there are plenty of medium sized companies around too.

Downside: we're becoming the next San Francisco and it's getting really expensive to live in/afford this area.

Good too, haha yeah it feels like that but, hey one day at a time.

I'm currently doing the Web Development course on

And also started; freecodecamp.org a few day's ago.

I've been also trying to practice doing some; codewars.com/
challenges when i'm at work.

Also, started reading this yesterday.

Hope that helps, I'd also check out the codeNewbie podcast and Learnwithme podcast.

Yes it does, been using freecodecamp since I started coding, once came across theodinproject but was thinking of finishing he freecodecamp curriculum before starting odinproject. Honestly admire your learning style ability to combine multiple resources at a time. I hope one day I'll get to your level lol. Thanks for sharing and sorry for late reply.

Well I started with theodinproject and back in September. I feel like i'm going through it pretty slowly. I recently felt I was starting to forget the HTML/CSS stuff so I figured i'd review it going thru the freecodecamp course. And I try to listen to podcast on my commute and try to do extra coding stuff while I'm at work. There's a lot of hurry up and wait at my current job. Just try to fill in the gaps in your day to supplement you current learning. Anyway, Hope its going well! :)

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!

What brought me here? I just recently bought a house and ran into one of the "2 unit tests. 0 integration tests." situation gifs that @ThePraticalDev posts. I saw a fancy dev.to link in the Twitter bio and short URLs intrigue me (easily amused I guess). After reading the about page I figured I'd give it a try.

I'm a frontend developer working in the Portland area. I started learning flutter and dart. It's a really exciting language/framework. Happy to keep learning!

Hi Everyone! I'm Vibhaas and I found dev.to quite by accident, and it's awesome - I can't believe I never heard of it before!

I am currently learning MongoDB and React, having fun with NodeJS and working on FreeCodeCamp along with some side projects. I absolutely love the Python language and have some difficulty in shifting to Python 3. JavaScript is also one of my favourite languages though I'm sure I'll be passionate about something else entirely a few years later!

Check out my profile if you want to, though it's not very interesting currently.

I also am thinking of blogging here on dev.to, though I am new to it and quite nervous, so advice will be appreciated!

ONE FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I started coding when I was only seven - I wish I had taken it more seriously then, though!

Happy New Year Everyone!

  • I began Python development in a college class almost two years ago, but I just didn't stick with it. I had to much going on at the time to continue coding, but now I am back into it and determined to stick with it this time.
  • I am going to document my journey through Python and programming in general on my website that I am going to build with Python. I will provide some links to that as soon as I have it set up, it is currently in the works.
  • I found the site while listening to a Free Code Camp podcast with Ali Spittel and thought I would like to give it a try as my site is likely to be a blog/portfolio/CV website.

Thanks for your kind comment:P
And yes, firmware is a confusing term. In different contexts, it may mean the BIOS to be executed on a x86 CPU, or the ROM(stored in flash) code to be executed on a "Embedded" CPU(like ARM or MIPS these days). Firmware can be found in our laptops, phones, camera, HDD/SSD, and even SD cards.
Most firmware are written in C these days but assembly is still and must be used in bootloader (pre-initialization before going to the C main routine.)

Happy New Year!

I just joined this community last week. I stumbled upon this community while surfing react's website support page. Family relocated from Chicago to San Diego in summer of 2017, took sabbatical, but now looking for job.

I'm currently learning the MERN stack and brushing up on C# as I come from a ASP.NET (VB.NET) background. Having tons of fun learning all the new stuff and am absorbing everything I can to get a job using new tech.

Stressed a bit because I feel like there is so much more to being a developer than there was in the 14+ years at my prior company. Anyone else in the same boat? It'll all work out, though, I'm sure! In the meantime, I'll be stalking the community here to learn more. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm Richard and as you might guess from me being on the site I'm a developer. I've started up my own freelancing business in 2016 after I finished my vocational training at age 19. The original intent was to pursue it at that time because I had nothing to lose. Here I am going into the third year of business and stronger than ever. So I guess that worked out.

I like hacking on side-projects although I seem to rarely ever finish one. My current babies are jinx and howmuchdoesthismeetingco.st.

One is a little wrapper streamlining nginx administration tasks to help me work faster and the other is a meeting cost tracker that was originally intended to make me sit in fewer meetings. Both have achieved their goal until now, surprisingly!

Happy New Year, everyone, I'm a developer from Afghanistan. I love Android development, both Native and Flutter (its such a fun framework)!

Currently, I'm working on an MIS app for a client + on my free time I work on my own app (an online shopping system in flutter), I'm new to Web and PHP, but since I have a degree of BCS, I'm sure I can find my way!

Here's what I'm looking to learn in 2019.

In no particular order:

  • Service Workers. I know what they are and even have it baked into my blog care of Gatsby, but I'd really like to get a deeper understanding of them and the best way to do that is from a Google Sponsored course, i.e. free, of Dave Geddes's, Service Workies.

He also has some other great courses
