    Learning To Trust The Process
    2021/06/18

    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.

  • Content Management Systems: Shopify vs. WordPress

    Content Management Systems: Shopify vs. WordPress
    2021/06/11

    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.

    Digital Minimalism: How To Declutter In An Electronic World
    2021/05/07

    Today we discuss Digital Minimalism and how we practice it. But what exactly is that?

    Digital Minimalism     is a philosophy of technology use based on the understanding that our relationship with our apps, tools, and phones is nuanced and deserves more intention than we give it, a term coined by computer science professor Cal Newport.

  • This Is Crazy, But Here's A Podcast, So Callbacks, Maybe?

    This Is Crazy, But Here's A Podcast, So Callbacks, Maybe?
    2021/03/30

    Today we discuss JavaScript Callbacks! What is a Callback?

    A callback function is a function passed into another function as an argument, which is then invoked inside the outer function to complete some kind of routine or action.

    For example, paste this code block in your editor and try it!

    function greeting(name) { alert('Hello ' + name);}function processUserInput(callback) { var name = prompt('Please enter your name.'); callback(name);}processUserInput(greeting);

  • What's the Difference Between CSS, SCSS, SASS, CSS Modules, and Styled Components?

    What's the Difference Between CSS, SCSS, SASS, CSS Modules, and Styled Components?
    2021/03/25

    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 these

    A 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!
