Wow.

!checkin for Class 51 at #100Devs. We reviewed authentication & the Passport.js user object from the req object & then got into Mongoose schemas & saw how to call db models & pass along JS to filter db requests. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

Hey LA folk at #100Devs: #tech #internet #web #losangeles

Haven't posted anything non-coding related in over a year. Took the girls & @sirashtondev.bsky.social to Laguna Beach yesterday to Vladimir Kush's gallery because he was there. Met him & got to talk about a bunch of things, including metaphorical realism, his mentor & Flemish painters.

!checkin for Class 50 at #100Devs. 49 was Huntober prep. Adding authentication (login & signup) to our app & getting data for the logged-in user with Passport.js. Back in bootcamp, we had to write all this ourselves! #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

!checkin for Class 48 at #100Devs. Listened to it while driving. It's a first for me, but it wasn't on a tractor. This one started focusing on the job hunt & gearing up for #huntober. #webdev #jobhunt

Just got in. Listened to Ep 27 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while doing my 5k. It's from May 15th of last year. This one focused on AI & went over concepts & ways to get comfortable using it, something I wrestle with. #webdev

!checkin for Class 47 at #100Devs. More MVC (Model View Controller) along with touching Mongoose for CRUD operations & using data attributes with element selectors. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org js.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

!checkin for Class 46 at #100Devs. Explored MVC (Model View Controller) structure, which is like separation of concerns for the backend. It's one of the more prominent ways of organizing backend logic. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org js.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

What Kyle says in this video mirrors so much of what Leon says during the #100Devs huddles. It's interesting to see other people in tech acknowledge it, but Leon has been sharing these tactics & insights for *years*.

!checkin for Class 45 at #100Devs. Finished review of the todo list app built with Express, Mongo & EJS. Focused on Update & Delete CRUD ops & then went into job hunt advice. Going to look at MVC next. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org js.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

Listened to Ep 26 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while driving. It's from May 8th of last year. This one was about breaking into tech with a roundtable including @leaht.codes from #100Devs & Pariss Athena, from Black Tech Pipeline. #webdev

!checkin for Class 44 at #100Devs. Reviewed a todo list app built with Express, Mongo & EJS. Focused on the Create & Read CRUD ops. We'll look at Update & Delete next class. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org js.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

I need to offload a few thousand pics I've grabbed over the past few years from my phone. They've been sitting in folders. Drafted a quick Express app to display them & started moving some over. There's a frontend repo on Netlify (HTML, JS) & a backend repo on Render (Express). #100Devs

!checkin for Class 41 at #100Devs. Reviewed building full-stack apps with Express, Mongo & EJS. Went deeper into Create, Update & Delete CRUD ops. Saw environment variables & foreshadowed authentication & element IDs. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

!checkin for Class 40 at #100Devs. Got introduced to Mongo DB, EJS (Embedded JavaScript), the /public folder in Express & form submission -> API -> the DB. EJS with Express essentially enables SSR (server-side rendering). #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social @mongodb.bsky.social

!checkin for Class 39 at #100Devs. Rebuilt an Express server with CORS handling & deployed the backend so any client can access it. Tested with Postman & the browser. Next comes MongoDB. We're becoming full-stack. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social

!checkin for Class 38 at #100Devs. Built an Express server with CORS handling, ran it locally, tested with Postman, made a frontend & deployed the back so any client can access it. This one handles GET requests. The rest is coming next class. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org @expressjs.bsky.social

Reminder that the Out in Tech VIRTUAL & FREE Career talk events is tomorrow 4/22 @ 10-12AM PDT! events.outintech.com... Psst check out the recruiting companies to see what companies will be attending! You'll be able to ask recruiters questions. events.outintech.com...

!checkin for Class 37 at #100Devs. This one was a review of Node, without Express. Its basically one big request handler. We have to build a full-stack app using JS on the front & Node on the back. I'll take care of that in the AM. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org

!checkin for Class 36 at #100Devs. Its been 6 months since my last class! Reviewed promises & async/await & learned about queues, stacks & the event loop & how APIs in Node != APIs in the browser. They're similar but different implementations (web API vs C/C++ APIs). #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org

Listened to Ep 25 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while driving. It's from May 1st of last year. This one went into git, Github & AI. It'd interesting to hear their takes on AI now that a year has passed & see what progressed. #100Devs #webdev

Listened to Ep 24 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while driving. It's from April 24th of last year. This one went into networking, both for the job hunt & outside of it to make friends. #100Devs #webdev

Listened to Ep 23 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social while driving. It's from April 17th of last year. They spoke with @marktechson.com about so much stuff. His advice & experiences about learning & growth are really insightful. #100Devs #webdev

Just finished @mayanwolfe.com's Intro to SQL course as a refresher. It went by quickly for a 4-hour session & was really well-done. #100Devs #webdev #sql

Worked through Gregor Thomson's SQL course on @scrimba.bsky.social. Didn't get a t-shirt, but walked away with a certificate & PTSD instead. #100Devs #webdev #sql

Two more. Hope you all have a happy holiday, or whatever you look at this time as. "Your brain is wired to magnify what you focus on..." #100Devs

I've had a bunch of conversations with other #100Devs folk about motivation & consistency. They're ever-present on people's minds. Last night, these 3 vids came up in my feed & I watched them. I think some of you might benefit from what they share.

Took a break from other stuff I was working on & went through @rachelktyjohnson.bsky.social's Vue course on @scrimba.bsky.social yesterday. It was my first time using @vuejs.org & I really liked it. So much simpler than what React has been turning into. #100Devs #webdev #vue

Listened to Ep 22 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social this afternoon on the road. It's from April 10th. They spoke with Andy Wong about working for FAANG, startup & other companies & about senior devs. #100Devs #webdev

Hit the #learntocodela meetup in Ktown with @sirashtondev.bsky.social yesterday. Last one of the year. Got there early to beat LA traffic, so we explored Ktown for 2 hours & walked about 4 miles. Met a bunch of cool new people - several of whom I want to hit shows with in LA next year.

Listened to Ep 21 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social on the road. It's from April 3rd. If you're on the job hunt, listen to this one. Great questions & answers about the hunt. #100Devs #webdev

Listened to Ep 20 of The Programming Podcast from @leonnoel.bsky.social & @dthompsondev.bsky.social on the road yesterday. It's from March 27th. It was interesting hearing that ai would write 90% of all code in 6 months' time (there's context). It's now 9 months in the future. #100Devs #webdev

All of the Developed By Ed courses are free now! drive.google.com/drive/folder... #100Devs #webdev @developedbyed.bsky.social

Working on the homework for Class 35 at #100Devs. We had to review a Node server. Commenters on the YouTube video said that it was a difficult class, so I did a little writeup on my blog to try & explain the code for those who'd like the help. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org

From thinking "I'll Never Learn Math" to Distinguished Professor of Engineering & one of the world’s leading experts on learning! @dthompsondev.bsky.social & I had the HONOR of chatting on the pod with the 🐐 Dr. Barbara Oakley A DEEP DIVE into How To Learn in The Age of AI + so much more

!checkin for Class 35 at #100Devs. Went through promises & async/await. Learned that setTimeout(), setInterval(), fetch() and THE DOM are not JavaScript. They're web APIs! Finally started backend with Node. #webdev #javascript @nodejs.org
