Listen "106: With Nick Pettit"
Episode Synopsis
This week we were joined by Nick Pettit, educator at Treehouse, an online learning platform. We talked about (roughly in order):
News’n’Links’n’Drama:
17:25 Correction regarding Drupal and 1000 script/style files.
20:10 Github releases Atom, a hackable text editor
Q & A:
23:29 I’m curious about making the shift from HTML, CSS, jQuery, WordPress development to Full Stack JS. It seems the front end world is making a huge shift in that direction, and I thought it would be a good career move for me to do one of these 8 week bootcamps to get me started. What do you guys think?
30:24 I considered myself pretty versed in HTML, CSS, but with a desire to learn more particularly Javascript and it’s connection to CSS for dynamic website building. I feel that if I add this skill it could change a lot things for me professional. How can a service like Treehouse help me put it all together?
39:15 I’ve been learning Ruby for the past 2 months and have now started learning Rails v4. My problem: I’m using Treehouse and they use Rails 3. What kind of issues should expect?
46:08 This summer I’ll start trying to find some paid projects to do and I was wondering: what is best way to get the client set up with hosting and domain?
50:47 I would love for you guys to talk a little bit about Content Editable. I work on the project Barley and have learned a lot about CE over the past year and it has been a painful process. There is not many resources out there so it has been mostly trial and error.
