It’s 3:45 am, I just finished my breakfast ( some oatmeal with blue and blackberries ) and now I’m sipping away on some fresh ground coffee, ready to finish my data visualization project from FCC ( freeCodeCamp.org ). However, I wanted to write a blog post about something that many, if not all ( myself […]
First and foremost, I love React. The ‘water-fall’ flow of things is just straight-up lovely. It makes understanding code so much easier. Props flow in one direction and one directly-only. I’m currently in the middle of building my first blog site following the project guide from the following book: “React Explained” by Zac Gordon ( […]
In this really short article I would like to discuss a problem I came across during one of my react projects. I was working on building a simple chart using D3. I fired it up my project and ran npm build ( just in case I forgot to do so the day prior). Then I […]
In this blog post, you will learn how to install babel. So what is Babel? I like to think of babel as a translator. A translator of what? Of programming languages. For instance, newer browser are running on ES6 and above, however older browsers don’t support ES6, they support ECMAScript 2015 (ES5). So if you […]
Today I learned about javascript lookahead, lookbehind , and both negative lookahead and lookbehind assertions. The freecodecamp curriculum briefly touched on it but not enough for me to fully grasp the idea of it. It took me about 8 hours ( split between two days ) to understand how to use’em. I’ll get to what […]
It didn’t take long for me to realize the benefits of writing pseudocode. When I first started, I would just fire up the command prompt and do what I call, freestyle coding; coding off the top of my head without a game plan. I made this mistake several times. There were times where I was […]
It’s 3:46 am on a Friday. I was jotting down some pseudocode on a piece of paper for this coding challenge on FreeCodeCamp.org. Then it came to me; I should probably type up a quick disclaimer page for people to read. Why? Well because I’m not actually a software developer, I’m a Network / VoIP […]
Read responsibly, check out my disclaimer page. If you’ve followed the instructions in the last post, part II, you should have npm and webpack installed. We verified the installation by bundling the files in our src directory. We found that the index.html would not bundle unless we installed the HtmlWebpackPlugin, which we installed and verified […]
Read responsibly, check out my disclaimer page. In the last tutorial, Part I, you learned how to install node.js and npm on your Ubuntu system. In this tutorial, we will move forward and install Webpack. This tutorial will only focus on the basic needs to get your project up and running. If you need any […]
Read responsibly, check out my disclaimer page. This week I will be explaining how to install webpack. I will split this up into 2 parts. I took a JavaScript course on udemy and within that course, there were two projects. One of the projects required me to install and configure webpack and babel. I still […]
