[edit] - Added a direct link to the job.

We are looking for someone that is well versed in development and systems. We work with all kinds of technology Java, C#, Powershell, Node, Puppet, VMware, Azure to name a few. Looking to hire right away.


That's a good idea. My reason for building it was because I have tons of flat files to process.


Thanks guys. This is my first node module. Glad it is being well received. Wrote it because I have over 10k html files to process and get the data into a DB.


Got serious about building a team to help me launch my travel startup - http://gateC21.com ! I have a few writers, a copy writer and a branding guy working on making it great! The ball is rolling really fast now!

Other small wins. -Started to read more again (leisure). -Played with stuff I've had on my list (jasminJS and phantomJS) - They are awesome!


Thanks for the book recommendations! Added to audible!!


How are you going about learning JS? It's my secondary language right now and I've read books, look at code on github and subscribe to newsletter to try to pick it up BUT I haven't been able to be fully "fluent" in it.

I find it hard to explore objects and learn JS core. So much is done with frameworks these days.


JS (for the browser anyway) is difficult in that there's basically three generations, and any docs you read are may be from any of them:

1. Per browser DOM APIs

2. jQuery

3. Modern DOM APIs. document.querySelector(), nodelist.forEach(), element.classList() etc. You'd use CSS transitions for animations you used to do in jQuery.

Personal style also comes into it. Some people use function variables, others functions declarations. Some people put script tags everywhere, others use one of two modules systems. There's no one right way to do things. But there's a lot of wrong ones.

First things first: understand the basics, like async and closures. They haven't changed.

And get the yellow book with the bird.


Funny! I picked that book up yesterday! Assuming you're referring to Eloquent JavaScript. Thanks for the advice!


Awesome xkcd! It's 100% accurate!


Nice! I have a BS in IT management and I've been thinking about going back to get a MS in CS. Still looking for the right program though.


Cool website! Thanks for sharing.


Thanks csallen! Do you know if most developers use 99designs? It seems pricey for a plugin that is a side project and doesn't generate any money.


You really only have two options: do it yourself, or get someone else to do it. As far as getting others to do it goes, 99designs is relatively cheap.

Personally, I recommend learning yourself. Rudimentary graphic design is a pretty useful skill to have. Gotta say though, it can be a little frustrating. Unlike coding, where most of your time is spent building and adding, design requires constantly trashing and starting over, so it always feels like you're not making much progress...

It took me a whole day to design the logo for Taskforce (https://www.taskforceapp.com/) for example.


I almost used it, but I found a decent logo via reddit:
