Bad For Education - Coding Tips For The Junior Developer & Beyond

Today we discuss trusting the process,  which means truly believing that the end result of your goal will be worth all of the struggles that you have to face throughout the process of getting there.The problem with trusting the process, especially after going through an arduous boot camp or life obstacle, is that it can seem like an endless tunnel with no positive end in sight. But there is, and we discuss how to better prepare your mindset for those setbacks. ResourcesPsychology Today Article10 Reasons Why Trusting The Process Is Important To LifeConnect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

Today we discuss content management systems (CMS),  why they are used, and a comparison between the two most popular ones: Shopify and WordPress.WordPress is a content management system (CMS). It exists in two wrappings; a hosted version on WordPress.com and the WordPress CMS version on wordpress.org.WordPress had its origins as a blogging platform, but many buyers choose it today to build websites in which blogging is not the primary function. Its core system of templates, pages, and posts allows users to focus on adding content once the initial set up is made.Shopify is one of the best e-commerce platforms in the market. It is similar to WordPress in that it's an open platform where developers provide apps and themes. Shopify's core functionality is e-commerce.It gives users the ability to add products, prices, and sell via a store. Its store builder can produce a good-looking, easy to build e-commerce store. Its themes are the layout of the store, and the apps are used to add more functionality for e-commerce management or marketing your products.ResourcesShopify vs. WordPressWhat Is A Content Management System?Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

Today we discuss CSS, and the preprocessors + variations such as SCSS, SASS, CSS Modules, and Styled Components.CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a declarative language that controls how webpages look in the browser. The browser applies CSS style declarations to selected elements to display them properly. A style declaration contains the properties and their values, which determine how a webpage looks.A CSS preprocessor is a program that lets you generate CSS from the preprocessor's own unique syntax. There are many CSS preprocessors to choose from, however most CSS preprocessors will add some features that don't exist in pure CSS, such as mixin, nesting selector, inheritance selector, and so on. These features make the CSS structure more readable and easier to maintain. SASS, SCSS, and LESS are examples of theseA CSS Module is a CSS file in which all class names and animation names are scoped locally by default. The key words here are scoped locally. With CSS Modules, your CSS class names become similar to local variables in JavaScript. By the way, a 'CSS Module' is just a .css file. You call it a 'CSS Module' if you plan on using it with a CSS Modules compiler.Styled Components are tagged template literals combined with the power of CSS, which allows you to write actual CSS code to style your components. It also removes the mapping between components and styles – using components as a low-level styling construct could not be easier!ResourcesCSS PreprocessorsSASS vs SCSS vs LESSCSS ModulesStyled ComponentsConnect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

Today we have a serious discussion about the rising anti Asian-American sentiment throughout the United States during to Covid-19 pandemic.Almost every week there's been a new attack on an Asian-American in densely populated cities. 3,800 attacks have been confirmed, and a notably staggering 150% rise in these hate crimes. Together we need to #StopAsianHate because #HateIsAVirus and if we don't stand together we cannot hope to heal as a country.This isn't new and has become a recurring occurrence amplified by poisonous rhetoric from former President Trump, seeping into the fabric of our society. The attacks reached a boiling point in which 6 women were killed in Atlanta by racially charged attacks. We must do and be better.Resources:ArticlesWays to Help Fight Asian HateSelf Defense TipsAtlanta Spa Shooting3,800 Racially Charged Attacks Against Asians, majority being womenOrganizations to followhttps://stopaapihate.org/https://aapip.org/what-we-do/supporting-api-communities-resource-directory/view-all-resourceshttps://hateisavirus.org/Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

Today's episode we discuss databases! A topic a full-stack developer should know. The two most popular database types we'll cover are relational vs. non-relational.  Relational databasesA relational database works by linking information from multiple tables through the use of “keys.” A key is a unique identifier which can be assigned to a row of data contained within a table. This unique identifier, called a “primary key,” can then be included in a record located in another table when that record has a relationship to the primary record in the main table. When this unique primary key is added to a record in another table, it is called a “foreign key” in the associated table. The connection between the primary and foreign key then creates the “relationship” between records contained across multiple tables. Historically, the most popular relational databases have been Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL and IBM DB2.  Non-relational databasesThe non-relational database, or NoSQL database, stores data. However, unlike the relational database, there are no tables, rows, primary keys or foreign keys.  Instead, the non-relational database uses a storage model optimized for specific requirements of the type of data being stored.Some of the more popular NoSQL databases are MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, Redis, Couchbase and Apache HBase.Within computer programming, the acronym CRUD stands for create, read, update and delete. These are the four basic functions of persistent storage. Also, each letter in the acronym can refer to all functions executed in relational database applications and mapped to a standard HTTP method, SQL statement or DDS operation.Dummy data is benign information that does not contain any useful data, but serves to reserve space where real data is nominally present. Dummy data can be used as a placeholder for both testing and operational purposes.A wireframe is a schematic or blueprint that is useful for helping you, your programmers and designers think and communicate about the structure of the software or website you're building.References:Relation vs Non-relational databasesConnect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

Today we talk about asynchronous operations in 'Promises', in addition to async and await. A JavaScript Promise object be in one of four states:Pending - While a Promise object is "pending" (working), the result is undefined.Fulfilled - When a Promise object is "fulfilled", the result is a value.Rejected - When a Promise object is "rejected", the result is an error object.Settled - While a Promise object has been "settled", the result is a value or error object.The Promise object supports two properties: state and result.The keyword await before a function makes the function wait for a promise, while the keyword async before a function makes the function return a promise. The async and await make promises easier to write.References:Andrew's Blog Article on PromisesAnother article for PromisesAsync and AwaitConnect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

This episode we go back into the technical, and we discuss Object-Oriented Programming! Today we talk about how to cultivate your dev story! We talk about why we use it and the four pillars of OOP.The four pillars of object-oriented programming are:Abstraction - To abstract something away means to hide away the implementation details inside something – sometimes a prototype, sometimes a function. So when you call the function you don't have to understand exactly what it is doing.Encapsulation -Removing access to parts of your code and making things private is exactly what Encapsulation is all about (often times, people refer to it as data hiding).Inheritance - Inheritance lets one object acquire the properties and methods of another object. In JavaScript this is done by Prototypal Inheritance.Polymorphism - Polymorphism means "the condition of occurring in several different forms." That's exactly what the fourth and final pillar is concerned with – types in the same inheritance chains being able to do different things.During our second half we discuss our New Year's Resolutions in coding/developing and in general.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comSend us questions!

This episode we take a break from actual code and focus on the soft skills you'll need to know in an actual workplace setting, specifically the four main components of the Agile Methodology. We then talk about our experiences in the tech workplace and how it applies to us.The Agile Methodology is one of the simplest and effective processes to turn a vision for a business need into software solutions. Agile is a term used to describe software development approaches that employ continual planning, learning, improvement, team collaboration, evolutionary development, and early delivery. It encourages flexible responses to change.The four core topics to this methodology which are broken down into more detail are:Ideation - Coming up with the initial conceptFeaturesets - Breaking that concept into smaller tasks Sprints - Taking groups of those tasks and executing them in 1 - 2 week segmentsStandups - Communicating with team members which will allow them to better assist and collaborateFor the secondary topic Andrew and Jason discuss their own experiences with Agile and how it applies to real-life situations.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comReading LinksStages of AgileLifecycle & Workflow ExplainedWant a free $20 Amazon gift card and to start your own podcast with Buzzsprout?It's as simple as one click in our link below.

This episode we discuss the difference between Git and Github. We then talk about the new work from home changes in the workforce as well as how it can contribute to bore out.Git is a version control system that lets you manage and keep track of your source code history. GitHub is a cloud-based hosting service that lets you manage Git repositories. Originating from Peter Werder and Philippe Rothin, in 2007 —"bore out" is when you’ve simply become a body in the workplace rather than a contributor. It’s the person who shows up to work every day without a purpose, those forgotten by peers and management who simply float on and settle into the flow of office life. Bore Out provides the same adverse effects of Burn Out by being boring and creating a work situation where you do not feel challenged.  It is a growing issue that applies to people working at home. Andrew and Jason have felt this way before and provide new information on how to combat it.

We discuss jQuery versus vanilla JavaScript, when you should use it, and why it's important and needed. We also talk about our first (real) project, the memory match game.jQuery is a well known fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things easier such as:  HTML DOM manipulationevent handling and animationAjax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.However you shouldn't be using or depending on jQuery until you are familiar with vanilla JavaScript because it is a library. Memory Match ProjectAndrew and Jason's first project was the Guessing Game, but since that isn't as complex, they both feel it is not a good project to place on a resume for employment. The Memory Match on the other hand uses features from jQuery as well as asynchronous calls and when built properly, can be a great portfolio showcase!Connect With Us!

Today's episode we discuss reference data types in JavaScript, specifically, arrays and objects! Later we talk about video games and what we're currently playing!JavaScript Arrays and Objects are the fifth and final core concepts one must-know for JavaScript.  A reference type can contain other values. Since the contents of a reference type can not fit in the fixed amount of memory available for a variable, the in-memory value of a reference type is the reference itself (a memory address).ArrayObjectVideo Games are enjoyed by developers, and Andrew and Jason are no exception. Jason loves the Legend of Zelda series, and Andrew is currently enthralled in a gacha game known as Genshin Impact. They are both excited for the launch of the PS5 as well as future games.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.com

We dive right into JavaScript Event Handling and Listening today with the added bonus of discussing books we like and what we're reading currently. Enjoy!Event Handling and Listening are the fourth out of five must-know JavaScript core concepts and they take into account what is happening between users and the page. For example, HTML events are "things" that happen to HTML elements.When JavaScript is used in HTML pages, JavaScript can "react" on these events.Other examples of events include:An HTML web page has finished loadingAn HTML input field was changedAn HTML button was clickedBooks! Andrew and Jason discuss literature and give their latest reads. They also talk about audiobooks and the Young Adult novel Andrew has written, Gods From the Machine.In terms of coding books, Andrew recommends the two-part series written by John Duckett and Eloquent JavaScript. Jason recommends Mastering the Coding Interview.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comWant a free $20 Amazon gift card and to start your own podcast with Buzzsprout?It's as simple as one click in our link below.

This episode we dive further into detail on Functions and Loops, the third out of the five JavaScript must-knows. We also talk about social media in today's society.Functions and Loops are the cornerstones to creating reusable code. We provide information on how to write the syntax, and they can be used for efficiency.A JavaScript Function is defined with the function keyword, followed by a name, followed by parentheses ().Loops are handy, if you want to run the same code over and over again, each time with a different value.Social Media's presentation in The Social Dilemma on Netflix struck a chord with Andrew and Jason, and they discuss how crazy social media has seeped into their lives and the lives of other people. There are many benefits and though it is inescapable, perhaps being too involved in social media can leave long lasting negative effects.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comWant a free $20 Amazon gift card and to start your own podcast with Buzzsprout?It's as simple as one click in our link below.

Spooky season starts early with this fresh Halloween edition of Bad For Education Podcast! Today we discuss scope and its nuances plus our go-to Halloween movies!Scope is the third of our five must-know JavaScript cores. We provide the tinted window car analogy as well as hoisting and examples of how scope works.In JavaScript there are three types of scope:Local scopeGlobal scopeLexical scopeJavaScript has function scope: Each function creates a new scope.Scope determines the accessibility (visibility) of these variables.Variables defined inside a function are not accessible (visible) from outside the function.Our Favorite Halloween Scary Movies differ, as there are ones we like for the traditional horror and ones that are good for the whole family to enjoy.

We discuss another concept that is important in JavaScript Conditionals and Checks! This is number two out of the five JavaScript must-knows! Plus is college worth it in 2020 or should you opt for a trade school or boot camp? Let's dive right in.Conditionals are statements are used to perform different actions based on different conditions. In JavaScript we have the following conditional statements:Use if to specify a block of code to be executed, if a specified condition is trueUse else to specify a block of code to be executed, if the same condition is falseUse else if to specify a new condition to test, if the first condition is falseUse switch to specify many alternative blocks of code to be executedCollege versus Trade School: Is it worth it in 2020?Andrew went to college. Jason did not. They both went to the same accelerated web programming and are both now developers. They both deliver insight on their choices and whether or not they believe it is worth going to, especially in 2020.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.com

Today we are on Week 2 for the bootcamp and we're talking about primitive and special data types in JavaScript! This will be the first of the five must-knows of JavaScript. Also, Elon Musk revealed the latest news on Neuralink. Let's dive right in! Primitive and Special Data Types are some of the most commonly used data types. In JavaScript, a these data types have no methods. There are 6 primitive data types: string, number, bigint, boolean, undefined, and symbol.Elon Musk had recently shown the updated version of his Neuralink. Andrew and Jason discuss the implications of this technology and the benefit or detriment it can cause mankind.Connect With Us!Instagram: @badforeducationpodcastTwitter: @badforedupodEmail: badforeducationpodcast@gmail.comWant a free $20 Amazon gift card and to start your own podcast with Buzzsprout?It's as simple as one click in our link below.
