I'm trying to decide whether I want my future to steer toward mobile or web development. I've completed the Codecademy JS course but feel like I need to do certain parts of it to really cement my knowledge of it. I'm also trying to build some basic apps in Xamarin.iOS since C# is my bread and butter. I feel like I might struggle with this for some time :/ Outside of development, I'm studying Farsi, getting back into…

Interesting! May I ask how come you've chosen to study Farsi? I would've emailed you but I didn't see any emails on your profile.

That's weird that it's not being shown, I swear my email is there :) My wife is Persian so I want to be able to speak with her family! It never hurts to branch out and be multi-lingual too; I can speak a bit of Spanish and Polish and I'm always looking to expand my horizons as well.

Expect an email from me!

I've been watching and trying out different flux-like patterns, aided in part by this repo: https://github.com/voronianski/flux-comparison I've re-implemented the same project using vanilla flux, fluxxor, reflux, and baobab tree. I've come to liking baobab the best, with reflux in a close second. The flux pattern isn't some total magic and itself hasn't been a revelation, but I've never been able to try out so many d…

Ada Javascript properly Non-Technical Learning to manage pain (recent diagnosis of degenerative spinal condition) To be a more positive person

Try yoga, go to an easy beginners class at a studio that seems bent on spirituality and not fitness, helps with pain and positivity, programming benefits are more discrete

I've finally decided that regular expressions are not witchcraft and that I need to learn how to use them.

Any recommendations on learning them, e.g. tutorials?

Not helpful at all for learning, but I've found RegExper[1] is fantastic for visualizing existing expressions, particularly ones you haven't written but need to understand or edit.
