Coding resource!

exercism.org

A free website where you get specific problems to methodically learn small concepts of a programming language. Do 10 minutes to 1 hour every day, and then you will keep practicing every day, and you will be able to use the skills you learn in your real projects. They walk you through the problem all the way, and it's a super good way to learn!

I definitely not only of these guys who said things like "Don´t do anything in your life except study to really change something". But I reserved a time in a day to practice every day, some days are good and I can produced more than I expected, and some days is just learning about concepts, doing reviews and not exactly be a Google mostly incredible Software Engineer. The place on my pictures is Igarata based on São Paulo, Brazil. It was a very fun sunday and just by the end of the afternoon and make some changes to my Kafka project (After swimming and surf a lot by morning).

Software Development using C# (Bootcamp)

Currently on week 3 out of 13

This bootcamp is really hard but hey at least I am finally getting the hang of it and a lot of the stuff that didn’t make sense to me before is finally making sense to me now.

The last thing we studied was

• Lambda expression

• Generics in C#

• LINQ

I am so happy and proud of myself but that of course wouldn’t have happened without the help of @codemerything @indigotech @moose-mousse

I will be forever grateful to the three of you and I am sorry for throwing my bootcamp trauma at you

Are the assignments getting easier? Not at all but I decided not to care about the grade and just focus on getting better and better at solving problems.

I don’t know what the next days will bring, maybe they will beat me again but I will always get right back up, no matter how many times I fall 🤍✨

Random question for the coding folks...

If I were to just straight up like... offer free programming tutoring, are there folks out on Tumblr who would be interested?

Learn flexbox!

Although it is IMPOSSIBLE to ever get align-items vs justify-content right on the first try, getting familiar with how flexbox works will allow you to know at least one of them does what you want them to. If there's anything I've learned during my studies it's that development is much more about knowing you can do certain things and being able to google it when you don't know how, rather than having everything memorized. What you need to memorize you will memorize from practice, repetition and experience.

That being said: here are some (two) resources for learning flexbox!

Play Flexbox Froggy

This was such a huuuuuge help for me when learning flexbox. I completed all of the exercises once, and then I would use this as a guide and reference when trying to figure stuff out on my own projects. It's a great interactive way of learning, and it really simplifies and makes flexbox digestible. I recommend just crunching through it once, and you will be exposed to all the different ways of using flex! Then you will have in the back of your head what is possible with flex, and you will be able to recall this and maybe use the next resource to implement it if you don't remember all the keywords yourself!

CSS tricks - a complete guide to flexbox

This was recommended to me by a developer waaay back when i started studying, and it has saved me countless times. It's so good for referencing the different properties, with clear visual examples and a super easy-to-follow structure of the page. I have this bookmarked because of how often I use it.

Good luck in your studies 💻🐸

[heart-ghost-studyblr]

I try to make a balance between reading the book "Kafka: The Definitive Guide - 2nd Edition," doing Confluent course lab exercises, and a little bit of Udemy projects with Kafka as well. In the middle of the week, I'm making my homepage to showcase some portfolio stuff, which is not my priority at this time, but it involves a lot of coding as well.

Feeling like I can answer any interview questions about Kafka at this point, including the fundamentals, use cases, and examples of writing a pub/sub system in Java.

It's all about studying; it magically changes you inside and out. You're the same person, in the same place, but now capable of creating really good software with refined techniques.

I was playing Persona 5 the another day and I saw this!

I will post it here as a reminder to have my own way of coding 💻✨

Basics of HTML5: Let's build a webpage!

I'm a huge advocate for learning HTML5 as your first coding language (remember, it's not a programming language)! HTML5 is a great and easy coding language to get you into the feel of coding, especially for complete complete beginners!

I see a lot of people on Tumblr wanting to get into just creating their own websites but don't know how to start - coding is a new thing to them! So, I'm here to help with the language I know like it's the back of my hand!

And I am also an advocate of building projects in order to learn anything in coding/programming! Thus, what better way to learn the basics of HTML5 than to actually build a simple webpage? Let's get started~!

What is HTML5?

HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language, is a special coding language that is used to create webpages. With HTML, you can tell a web browser, like Google Chrome or Safari, what to display on a webpage, such as text, images, and videos. And 'HTML5' is just the latest version of HTML!

HTML tags are special words or symbols that you use to create webpages. You use these tags to tell the web browser what content to display on a webpage, like headings, paragraphs, images, links, and more. Tags come in pairs (most of the time) so you'll have an opening tag and a closing tag. An example of the syntax:

The Simple Webpage

As I mentioned, we will be making a simple webpage for a person called David - see, he needs a portfolio webpage to start off with, and we're going to help me (as well as learning HTML5, of course).

Here is the code we will be using:

Pretty code, I know but also a bit confusing - let's get into understanding the code by grouping them into chunks! But just a heads up, the code includes these tags:

!DOCTYPE html (mmh it's more of a declaration really)

html, head, body

title

h1, h2, h3

p, a

li, ul, ol

These are some of the common tags used in all webpages on the internet! Okay, let's look at the code finally~!

The basic structure of every HTML page

Every HTML file looks like this - it has to have all of these tags!

The first line, !DOCTYPE html tag, tells the web browser which version of HTML is being used.

The code is contained within html tags, which enclose the entire webpage.

The head tags contain information about the webpage, such as the title and links to other resources.

The body tags contain the main and visible content of the webpage, such as text, images, and videos.

Together, this code provides the basic structure for an HTML webpage, with the head tags containing metadata and the body tags containing the actual content.

In the head tags

The title tags enclose the title of the webpage. In this example, the title is "My Programming Blog".

The title appears in the title bar of the web browser and is often used by search engines and social media sites to display the name of the webpage.

In the body tags - Headings and paragraphs

The h1 tags create a main and biggest heading, which in this case is "Welcome to My Programming Blog!" - you can only have one h1 tag on a webpage.

The h2 tags create subheadings, which in this case include "Latest Post", "About Me", and "My Projects" - you can have multiple h2 to h6 tags on a page.

The h3 tags create a sub-subheading under h2 tags, which in this case is "How I Improved My Coding Skills".

The p tags create paragraphs of text that provide more detail about the blog's content and purpose, including a summary of the latest blog post and information about the author and their projects.

In the body tags - lists and links

To start any list, you need to either start with ul tags or ol (ordered (numbered)) tags

The ul tags create an unordered list of items.

The li tags create list items within the unordered list.

Each list item includes a hyperlink created using the 'a' tags, with the text of the link being the name of a programming project.

The href attribute within each 'a' tag specifies the URL where the project code can be found on GitHub.

Attributes go inside the opening tags' arrows '<' and '>'.

The End Result

Boom - she's gorgeous, I know! A basic, simple webpage! We did it! You can see the page live + the code used here: [LINK]. Play around with the code, change things, experiment, break things, fix them - do what you need to learn further!

And that includes some online resources to help!

LINK 1 | LINK 2 | LINK 3

And some resources/posts I have shared about HTML

LINK 1 | LINK 2 | LINK 3

What next?

Learn CSS3! The page looks basic and looks like what pages were like when the internet was invented! You need colour, fancy fonts and layouts! CSS helps with that, as it is a styling sheet! Be sure to do some research but I also share resources on my blog under my #resources tag!

Thank you for reading and best of luck learning coding/programming! Remember, this isn't the only way to get into coding! People even recommend languages like Python to be beginners' first language, but I say that HTML5 should be the first coding language and then Python is your first programming language - don't know the difference? I made a post about it here!!

But definitely for people going into Web Development, HTML5 all the way! I don't think you can avoid learning HTML5 with Web Development (not 100% sure though...)!

Anyhoo, have a nice day/night! 👋🏾💻💕

Offering Free Software/Web Dev Tutoring Sessions on Twitch Stream Once a Month!

OK, the people have spoken! There was a definite expression of interest in coding tutoring when I floated a vague post about it towards the coding side of Tumblr, which was very exciting to see! I am really excited about helping teach new people in the industry, and I conveniently have a Twitch stream where I do lots of coding stuff on Sundays. Seems like these two things go well together! :D

Here's the deal:

For right now, I will allocate the first Sunday of every month on my coding stream to tutoring! This will be two slots of an hour each, one from 11am-12pm Central Time and one from 12pm-1pm Central Time. (Depending on interest, there may be more slots in the future as well. :) ) If you are interested in requesting a slot for tutoring, please fill out this form!

This is a pay-what-you-can offering, and if I offer you a live tutoring slot it will be at no charge! However, I welcome donations to whatever degree you can afford them, after the session, to help keep my stream and other projects going.

Submitting this form does not guarantee I will give you a tutoring session, as some subjects are more conducive to demonstrating on stream than others and some may be too far outside of my expertise for me to be helpful. However, I will try to at least reach out to you and provide some helpful resources if I have any to offer. 

If you don't want direct tutoring on stream (or even if you do!), feel free to stop by my Discord server at https://discord.gg/k4gDad5, where we talk about coding, gaming, and plenty of other nerdy stuff! :) Everyone's welcome, just don't be a jerk. ;)

I'll be posting more about this in the future depending on the response I get. Feel free to hit me up with questions if I can clarify anything. :)

Finally - this is a bit of an experiment; I've never tried this before so I will also be learning as I go. :) Suggestions/feedback appreciated.

Thanks for your interest and good luck in your coding adventures!
