Listen "#19 - Picking JavaScript"
Episode Synopsis
Nikos and Ken chat about JavaScript and how they picked it as their language of choice.
Amy Carney asks:
"As I try to get through the fog of JavaScript, I'm left wondering... how did you decide that was your language? What were (or are) the best resources that have kept you learning and mastering the foundation and beyond?"
In this episode we mentioned these JavaScript libraries / frameworks
Angular
Ember
React
Backbone
jQuery
We did not mention "How to get started" with these. We recommend you take some time and follow some tutorials but quickly jump into writing an application. This is the best way to learn... by failing.
If you've heard the term "fail fast" and aren't sure what it means, this is it: Failure is an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and to not make the same mistakes again.
Some online resources for learning JavaScript or any other programming language:
Treehouse
Egghead
PluralSight
Code School
Code Academy
Nikos mentioned a GitHub repository he has created for testing JavaScript job candidates. Vanilla JavaScript Candidate Tests.
Some other discussion took place in this episode around Acting and Bitcoin. It's good to get out of our shells and practice new skills.
