What are you learning about this weekend? 🧠

Yo folks!

It's the weekend again — woot woot! I reckon you might've found your way onto DEV because you're trying to learn something new...

Whether you're sharpening your JS skills, making PRs to your OSS repo of choice 😉, sprucing up your portfolio, or writing a new post here on DEV, we'd like to hear about it.

Best of luck with your learning! 🍀 And of course, remember to give yourself a bit of downtime this weekend. You've earned it!

A person in front of a bookshelf points up to the phrase "ALWAYS LEARNING" which appears in the air. The person nods their head emphatically.

I learned that if you create a mixture of essential oils (lavender, rose, lemon) with coconut oil and spray on freshly cleaned warm sheets. You will wake the next morning with no cares in the world cause you had a good nights rest.

Over the weekend, I learned how to use an event listener to detect when a certain value has been entered into an input text field for a word guessing game I am making. Also learned how to use media queries to make the game screen responsive to all device screens. Still some kinks to work out, but it's coming together nicely.

Today is yesterday for tomorrow!

Recall the Hypermedia and _hyperscript in this weeks, I feel old and young in the same times.

I’m re-learning how to write something other than code. I dusted off a short story/beginning of a novel I started a long time ago. It’s going slow, but I managed ~8,000 words today.

I’m not happy with it per se, but it’s more than I’ve done in years.

Love that for you! That's the reason I started writing on Medium, and it's been an excellent skill-broadening journey. Can't wait to see what you do!

This weekend I'm learning about Spark Framework and atempting to port a Spring boot project to it. ATM I had a good impression cuz it is really similar to nodejs express when you are using Java 8+ due the lamba functions . I'm really enjoy it.

Have been spending time and effort in building metrics-related features for my product. It is very hard to imagine from the user's perspective, but yeah picking up the skills.

I started learning JavaScript to enhance my Fullstack experience, and I am making a Trivia App with customizable question sets.
