A few weeks ago, I decided to dive into Redux and make the experience of learning Redux as simple as possible. As with all of my high-quality guides (yeah, I’m selling myself here), I try to go through the simplest application possible that not only demonstrates all of the core features, but also shows actual […]

When I tried out Go
I tried out Go as part of my “2 weeks with Go” challenge and wanted to share my experiences as I … go. package management Go’s package managemenet is completely bizarre. At first, I thought it was awesome. You don’t have a package.json, you don’t have any crazy dependency trees, you simply list a package, […]
Read More9mComprehensive Beginner’s Guide To ReactJS
A few weeks ago, I made a presentation and a youtube video introducing Angular (and JS developers in general) to ReactJS. It seems like React became a framework many want to try but somehow, it’s always out of reach. A part of the reason for that is that there’s not a “why” attached to the […]

Read More7mComprehensive Beginner’s Guide to AngularJS
Last Saturday, I gave yet another talk on getting started with AngularJS and with good success.

I think the answer lies in […]

Every programming paradigm has a peak point, the point of no return that I call the “A-ha!” moment. It’s the moment where you get “it” and “it” is no longer confusing. You may not understand all the facets of the paradigm but you know enough to exponentially move forward, using professional tutorials and literature as […]

Please, for the love of God(s)*(esses)*, consider what happens when your post takes off when it’s on HN, or Reddit, or hell, even Twitter. It may happen to anyone.

Read More2mWhy Microsoft should be getting developers excited
In the past //build/ conference, Microsoft did something that it hasn’t done in a long time, it got people excited about developing on their platform. Talk after talk, they introduced new features and new technology welcomed by any C#, ASP, or .NET geek and many of those that have long strayed from that path. The […]
Read More5mWhat fibonacci taught me about programming
I originally wanted to write this neat piece on how solving the “get a number from the fibonacci sequence” problem can teach YOU a lot but over the past year, I’ve realized that programming is such a personal experience that I believe I’d do you injustice by preaching and schooling you. Instead, I’d like to […]
Read More5mUnderstanding Quicksort, and taking advantage of JS’s native implementation
Algorithms are a pretty interesting aspect of coding. Of course, they’re not solely part of coding, as the definition states: Algorithm: a set of rules for solving a problem in a finite number of steps, as for finding the greatest common divisor. But as a developer, I see algorithms as they pertain to developing systems […]
