Last night I managed to get out to another tech meetup to learn about various front-end development tools and techniques. It was really awesome to sit in a room with a bunch of coders, and listen to them discuss things that I have so far only been reading on forums. It really pumped me up, and I just can’t wait to be a part of a team!
I am baffled by how expansive the universe of JavaScript really is. Lately in my studies it seems that I open door after door to new concepts… new frameworks… new techniques. Last night, I found myself just writing terms in my notebook which I didn’t understand at all.
The page is covered with notes like “What does .map() do?”, “What’s NPM?”, and “splats??”
I learned last night that JavaScript can now be used to make installable iPhone applications via JSX – This was very encouraging to me, as that only opens up more options to where I might land at the end of all this hustle.
It’s really exciting to dive into a new world like this. It’s like exploring a different world that’s inhabited by this thriving and complex civilization who call themselves “developers”. I’ve still got a lot to learn!
