Ask HN: What programming tutorials/courses/e-books do you wish existed?

carlmungz — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 10:21:51 +0000

Even though we are spoiled for choice with the amount of programming learning materials produced each year, I imagine there are still some important topics which do not get as much love as others.

I read the source code of popular libraries and frameworks and write about what I find. It's very React and JavaScript focused because those are the tools I use daily in my current job.

My latest piece is a guest post I wrote on how the microtask queue works in JavaScript: https://careersjs.com/magazine/javascript-job-queue-microtas...

New comment by carlmungz in "Mini projects built with VanillaJS. No frameworks or libraries"

carlmungz — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 17:49:52 +0000

I love seeing vanilla JS projects getting some love. I started one last year (https://github.com/CarlMungazi/aprender-js) and I feel it has made me a better programmer.

If anyone wants to learn more vanilla JS stuff, you should check out https://gomakethings.com by Chris Ferdinandi.

New comment by carlmungz in "Ask HN: How do you effectively read a new codebase?"

carlmungz — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 17:18:34 +0000

Whilst not directly related to this, I have spoken (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/07/javascript-knowledg...) and written (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/07/javascript-knowledg...) about reading source code.

If possible (either via docs or guidance from other developers), I find a major API and then follow it to its end point. You will usually come across other major pieces of the codebase this way and you can make a note of them if you wish to do further digging.

For being alive. I thank God for the gift of life because it is not something to be taken for granted.

Still need to turn this into a proper blog but you can find me at https://dev.to/carlmungazi writing about my journey rebuilding different parts of the frontend stack (think framework, testing library, build tool etc).

New comment by carlmungz in "Ask HN: What startups are working on hard, technically challenging problems?"

carlmungz — Tue, 13 Aug 2019 17:02:27 +0000

I work at https://limejump.com and we have a platform which manages energy assets such as wind farms, batteries and diesel engines and helps their owners make money by trading on the energy market.

It's technically challenging because doing so requires a team of data scientists forecasting the performance of the assets using weather data etc, an IoT team working on devices which send real time data from the assets, a software engineering team building the software behind all of this and an electrical engineering team that works on the assets.

The description above is a gross simplification and I've only been here a few months so I'm still getting to grips with things but it's definitely full of technical challenges.

carlmungz — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 16:43:17 +0000

I am currently in the process of doing something similar: https://github.com/CarlMungazi/aprender-js

Once I'm done, I'm probably going to have a proper crack and either building my own tool or collating smaller libraries (and by small I mean they do one thing only and do it very well) into a toolkit I can build stuff very quickly with.

I think the knowledge gained by building your own tool (CSS library, UI framework, state management library etc) seeps into any work you do with other tools or programming in general. It also depends on your aim. You will be more productive using whatever approach you spend time learning deeply.

carlmungz — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 15:28:32 +0000

I've been toying with the idea of creating my own lightweight JS and CSS framework so I can achieve similar levels of productivity. I know it varies between people but I find using third-party frameworks slows me down more often than not when I want to quickly build something.
