As someone who got very high grades in my CS degree I agree, transitioning to the real world with my first job was 12 months of pain.

This is essentially my chain of thought and what I have done. Even if it is a simple request that is confined to a single component when a developer looks at the codebase they can …

Interesting timing with coming across this article for me. I have started developing re-designing our site frontend to use Vue with Vuex and the point this author makes about where…

Spent 9 months of the year developing a REST API for a project that is launching in the coming months whilst finishing my CS degree online (finish in May). Have learned a lot along…

Was a paying Spotify user for about two years and recently jumped ship to Google Play Music to give it a shot and I'm pretty happy about it thus far. Haven't been any songs that I …

I'll never understand locking people up for having an addiction and treating them like criminals. I'm not too educated on how it's handled in America but in Australia you can go to…

Same. My Dell XPS15 is fantastic.

This is going to be super helpful - thanks!!

I've only been programming professionally for a year but can't see myself wanting to get out of it anytime soon, maybe ask me in 10 years to see if that view changes. But at the mo…

Discover weekly is hit and miss for me. Some weeks I find plenty of great material, and others I find a lot of junk - that being said I can understand it would be hard to match mus…

Have thought for awhile that fontawesome is excellent and was sucked in by the great kickstarter video - you get my first kickstarter backing!

Fascinating. Thanks for the link.

That's really interesting, first I have heard about automated tools to validate code. Are there public tools out there you can use prior to commits for this purpose or are they gen…

I'm a part time developer that is still at uni but learning the ways of how maintaining code is doing in a professional environment. Just curious, how often are practices like thes…

I did a unit at university learning C at the beginning of the year and you sound similar to my lecturer. We used VIM, no fancy IDE's and we had to compile our code in the command l…

Ah someone from my area - I commute into south bank everyday from Ferntree Gully. I actually don't mind the train trip in. It's a bit further to a train station from Olinda though …

Definitely going to be trying this. It's almost exam time for me and I always make mind-maps to help visualize and drive concepts home. Good job!

As someone who is also learning to code and has been for about 18 months, great job :)

Exactly what I was thinking :)

As someone who until Oct last year worked weekends and weekdays getting up at 2:30 am to bust my ass in a bakery for dismal pay and virtually no social life due to the hours - I wo…

Been a fan of Crash Course for some time, a good bite-sized video to tune into when you have a little bit of spare time. World History & Astronomy were my tops, currently watching …

That's really cool, I like it.

I'm currently at uni studying CS and recently finished my 'Programming in C' unit. The teacher from the get-go said it would be challenging compared to other languages that we had …

So annoyed my alarm didn't wake me this morning to watch this live, glad it didn't explode this time and made an awesome landing. Huge congratulations to SpaceX!

I study through a uni in Melbourne but purely online (minus exams) so this is an interesting side of on-campus study that I had not thought of much. I have found collaborative lear…
