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.

And remember, if something you learnt was a big win for you, then you know where to drop it as well.πππ»ππΌππ½ππΎππΏ

I Thank God for 20 days to html this week. i can now do some stuff with Html
I learned to use and work with socket.io, which will help me create a real time dasboard for data from my sensor network.
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).
Started learning Docker
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. πΊ
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?
Finally learned CSS grid... and it's great!
Don't know if you're aware of this free course by @wesbos that Mozilla sponsored, but cssgrid.io is awesome if you haven't checked it out yet.
I followed this post to whip up a proof of concept I was thinking about...

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.

I learned this week that I am re-inventing the wheel... AGAIN...
Not just this week but I have been on to some Nestjs things this whole month and it feels awesome
Sounds like your learnings would make for a great article. π
Oh yeah, I have been thinking about that and I am yet to get started on the article
