#100DaysOfCode Are you still confused about the keyword "this" in #javascript? I wrote a short blog post with some code samples to help. https://t.co/vxtBOYM6GP

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

#100DaysOfCode Big shout out to everyone trying to #learntocode on your own. If nobody is around to cheer you on, just know that I believe you can do it.

@MoonlightLuke @DevHighlights Can't really go wrong with either. I use React and React Native at work, but Vue, Angular, and React are all solid. Look forward to hearing about your experience with Vue.

#100DaysOfCode D74 Have you ever heard of execution phases, the scope chain, or what single threaded means in #JavaScript? Well, you're likely going to be asked questions about these in one way or another in #interviews. So, allow me to explain them here: https://t.co/3wMNtHZdAg

@frontsideup @Martin_Adams I just find it hilarious. I actually haven't read either of these books. I'm a big fan of "Understanding the Weird Parts" course though. https://t.co/mtHQeSZlvr

#100DaysOfCode As a #JavaScript developer, this is still one of my favorite photos.

@lawaldarekayode You can get it on Amazon if you like: https://t.co/g9ysBMQLHT

@MattCranford JavaScript has the best good parts.

#100DaysOfCode D64 Saw a report about #StudentLoans & how bad #debt is for graduates. There's a better way. Here are 5 courses in #frontend #JavaScript #nodejs #reactjs #mongoDB #Vuejs #Angular I've spend a total of $70 that could lead to a $70,000+ salary https://t.co/mZ2ASAUSUF

#100DaysOfCode D60 Drove up to Boulder for React Hack Night. Did some paired programming with two beginners in #reactjs. Taught how to make AJAX requests, pass props to children, client-side routing, and creating custom methods in an open sourced app. I had two interviews too 🤙

@trenton_nesbitt @100xCode You're welcome. You probably already thought of it like that, but it's nice to get confirmation. Keep on rocking 🤘

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

@trenton_nesbitt @100xCode Think of middleware like this. Your server gets a request to fetch user data, but a user must be logged in to see it. Any time you write code to do something in addition to the actual request, that's middleware. In this instance, checking if the user is signed in is middleware.

@AaronBoniface @Codecademy Good strategy. When I was backpacking through Central America while learning #nodejs, #Express, and #mongoDB, I'd write full programs in my notebook to review on 14 hour bus rides. You learn a lot faster when you write it in ink, in my opinion

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

@SMagdits Right in the feels. Going in 3 years in the industry and I still feel that way. The more I learn, the more opportunities I find to learn what I didn't even know...that I didn't know. It's why I love this career field 😍

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

@charae_keow I'd use plain CSS. Learn flexbox or CSS grids. When you feel comfortable doing that, then move on to a CSS framework. I wish I would have learned more vanilla CSS early on in my learning path before diving into Bootstrap...which I almost never use anymore 😉

#100DaysOfCode D58 Working on algorithms in Code Wars; came across a problem that required only returning unique items. Reminded me of a #javascript blog post I wrote a month ago about the spread operator and #ES6 Set: https://t.co/T6S94wZhRz

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

#100DaysOfCode D57 Needed a break, but algorithms are my weakest link right now. So, I only watched an hour of algorithms, and instead spent time outside in Mountains just west of #Denver-the best city in the world 😋

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

#100DaysOfCode D56 Just got 2nd place at #TechStars #BoulderStartupWeekend. I was our sole full stack developer on the team. Built the prototype in 54hrs in #nodejs, #Express, #mongodb #React, #Redux. 4 businesses are ready to pay once the features are built #motivated #exhausted

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

#100DaysOfCode D54. Pitched my startup at #TechStars for #BoulderStartupWeekend and immeditaly had a customer after my pitch. Got my team assembled; should have our prototype complete by the end of the weekend 🤙

[David Dugger @IamDavidDugger]

#100DaysOfCode D53: People that know me understand I love teaching what I know. Here I am talking through my thought process of architecting a #Reactjs project to the #JavaScript Meetup in #Denver.
