Hey y'all! On weekends, you'll probably find me asleep. π
Well, I also try to get some exercise in and spend time with people I care about. But also taking care of myself :)
My name is Shawn Reisner and I'm a full-stack JavaScript expert. When I was learning JavaScript a number of years ago I read an article, maybe posted by @thepracticaldev or @bendhalpern, on how they made dev.to so fast. I've stopped by a few times since and decided to create an account a few weeks ago and start writing some tidbits of what I know to give back to my community.
My favorite weekend activity is my Saturday work sesh at Horizon Line Coffee in Des Moines, IA, my hometown! It's the most productive 8 hours of my entire week.
You, reading this, yes, you, check out my article titled A Quick, Practical Use Case for ES6 Generators, and if you like it, give me a follow! Or at least a heart. You can spare one measly heart, right?
Hello! π€
What up what up! π€
Hello!!
Hello and welcome!
Hey Shawn! Here's a question for you. What inspired you to become a full stack JavaScript developer? Why not some other language?
I'm not sure if I have a good answer for this. I use JavaScript because it's the language of the web, and I have the most fun building things for the web. Sorry for a lackluster response!
Hi, I am Sung π
a software developer from NYC π.
βοΈ I signed up last year but not sure what brought me here due to lack of 1/2 year activity π π
π Currently learning GatsbyJS & Styled Components.
But planning to learn Docker, PWA (Progressive Web Apps) & Elixir.
(I've been a .NET developer and want to focus more on front-end)
π Fun fact? (more like hobbies)
I like manga, anime (<-- I will list if anyone's interested), Japanese light novels (translated in Korean) & online Korean fantasy novels (Munpia).
I used to collect figures but stopped for financial reasons.
During weekends, I read, write a blog & code and catch up with Korean variety TV πΊ shows (Running Man, 2 days 1 night, I live Alone, etc).
I had a quick look at your blog and I found it quite interesting !!
What are some Korean TV shows that you'd recommend ??
Thanks @karenbvh for the interest π€‘.
I've been trying to blog once a week for few years π.
Korean πΊ shows?
Here are some I watch weekly (preference in β¬οΈ order)
There used to be a show called, Infinite Challenge, which aired for 10+ years but ended a few months ago (To whet your appetite, check out some Jack Black eps) <- this will always be my favorite TV show ever.
For now, my current fave β₯οΈ is "I Live Alone", which is a show about people living alone. It's the chemistry between each participants that's really enjoyable (not to mention their daily lives).
Hello! I have a friend who has been working with elixir for few months now and he has said nothing but good things about it!
ps. Your blog looks great!
Hi there, Tuomo.
That makes me want to ditch learning Docker and dive into Elixir
π.
Any problem your friend ran into while working with it by chance?
AFAIK, Functional Programming requires a brain-rewire for OOP programmers
And thank you for checking out the blog, mate π€‘
Nothing specific problems AFAIK but you are right, he said the same thing that it requires a brain-rewire :P And also that at first it might be a bit hard (especially if you are coming from OOP world) but once you "get" how things are done in Elixir, it's just gets so much better!
Ah, it sounds challenging (but I wouldn't run away from one).
lol you don't really need a complete brain rewire. started learning elixir a month ago and coming from oop (python) it has been great. the syntax ain't that bad and you can always get help from the elixir forum whenever you stuck
I was reading a chapter on
List & Recursion(Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas).Implementing
mapwasn't so bad butreducerequired some change in thinking. (Andmapsumdoubly so π)But it's been a fun experience.
Elixir developer here. In fact I just dived into it few months ago and fell in love with the language. I'm currently developing my first project.
If there's a way I could be helpful to you, let me know.
Thank you Juan.
Are there any communities (slack, forum, etc) that might help?
and I'd love to check out should you were to write about Elixir and you experience with it so far π
You should look at the ElixirForum (elixirforum.com). Also, I'd suggest you join the ElixirLang channel on slack (elixir-slackin.herokuapp.com/). In there you'll find topics both for begginers and advanced coders. Also, you could follow me on twitter (@JPYamamoto9), I usually post interesting articles every one or two days from the elixir community.
Spanish is my first language, but I'm looking forward writing my first article in english about elixir one of these days, I'll let you know as soon as I do.
Any help you need understanding Elixir concepts don't hesitate to contact me.
Thank you so much, Juan for the resources mentioned π
I've recently purchased Programming Elixir by Dave Thomas and hope to get started with it soon.
And I will keep monitoring your twitter for the update & looking forward to your articles :)
That's an excellent book. Great purchase. Also, you should read Metaprogramming Elixir once you finish.
I now know the next book to read π
I am also an Anime fan! Please post a few favorites :)
Hi @robotjulia .
Here are my favorite animes.
I didn't mention other classics like GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka), Cowboy Bebop, and Evangelion as they are liked by all in general
If you want to know more (such as my first anime/manga) I will list as well
I've been tracking my list on MAL since 2009
(MyAnimList) but it's been locked out after a week long shutdown (been trying to recover).
I've also written a .NET Frame library, MyAnimListSharp to call MAL library but can't update it as I have no access to it any more.
And here is the YouTube playlist of my fave anime songs.
Now, it's my turn to ask YOU π.
What are your favorite animes/mangas?
My favorite series has to be Ghost in the Shell. I also enjoyed Darker than Black :) To tell the truth I haven't really tracked all the anime I have watched... I used to watch a ton. Let's see, I also liked Attack on Titan but it does get tiring chain watching too mank episodes. Lucky Star is best comedy but not every guy thinks so.
Thank you for posting your anime list! I started watching Uchuu no Stellvia ;)
All animes mentioned are great.
It's just that we don't have enough time to watch'em all π.
Stellviamight be old (15 yo) but I hope you enjoy it πβοΈHey all!
My name is George Offley and I am a software developer currently working for a manufacturing company. A while ago I came across dev.to and followed Ben on twitter and decided I really liked his platform. So now any blog posts I write are written on here first.
For work I'm learning C#. In my off time I am learning CG art and animation, C and advanced principles of Python and software development. I'm also pursuing a degree in Comp Sci while I work as a software developer. I also like playing guitar.
My favorite activity for the weekend could be anything. I suppose spending time with the family is my favorite though.
Hey y'all! On weekends, you'll probably find me asleep.
Or biking.
Or coding.
Yeah.
Welcome everybody! So awesome to have you. Let us know if you have any questions getting started.

Hi,
I am Sameer .
Primarily, I make machines.
I switched to fossil[1] since acquisition of Github, but scripts I use to organize and process my code are still there. Some cut and dry , some original, some buggy.
github.com/carnotweat?utf8=%E2%9C%...
I use a shell account, to telnet to my c64 (sdf.org/~sameers/) and at times to write random stuff, since I am no longer active on Quora.

Hey Vighneshwar, I am also Backend Java Developer. Could you suggest me some good place to start learning Docker?
My name is Shaun Collins and I have been coding for the last three years. My other interests are chess, rugby union and rock climbing. For the last few months, I have been getting into React building several apps with it, I think it is a great JS library but I have run into a snag on my latest project, I am finding it difficult to find a way to incorporate PayPal, if anyone has any suggestions it would make my day!
I'm Reed Fisher, GitHub member for 10+ years, and the proverbial old dog learning new tricks. I've been a user-experience designer for 16 years but have never coded much, so I'm enrolled in the UCSD Code Camp for a full-stack developer certificate.
Hi. I am learning python and I want to learn vue.js too
Greetings, I'm a data scientist and developer (Python, Java, JavaScript) from MontrΓ©al.
