Create a demo of “Here is how I used AI to help me refactor this ton of legacy code”, I can just imagine how people will love it/you 😉 (But it might not be sexy, indeed…)

I just wrote a short post with my thoughts about how React Server Components and @nextjs.org can help us teach/learn React a better way: scastiel.dev/better-learning-path-r…

I have the ⚙️ icon at the top right in the “My feeds” section. May not be the best UX, but it’s there 😊

I don’t know if it’s related, but you don’t need the “staging” anymore 😉 bsky.app

📕 The slides used during the workshop as a PDF document ⏭️ A list of ideas of what to learn next in your journey 🙋🏻‍♂️ A direct access to me to answer your questions about Next.js or React

100

🧠 Knowledge of Next.js’ and React’s basics ⚙️ The source code of a project you can use to bootstrap your future apps 🏠 Take-home exercises to put in practice what you learned, with solutions

It will be a remote workshop where after creating our first app, we’ll talk about authentication, databases, forms, and server components. After two 3-hour sessions, you’ll leave with:

100

How is it different from other courses you can find? I take advantage of the latest React and Next.js features to offer a whole new path –a simpler one– to creating your first application. This is why you’ll learn React and Next.js at the same time, where other courses usually start w/ React alone.

100

Would you like to learn React and Next.js? I’m designing a workshop to help developers who know HTML, CSS and JavaScript climb the next step and build their first full-stack application with the most popular framework today.

100

Then, as a second step, you can learn client features to handle user interactions: local state, DOM events, forms… And it’s only now that you hear the word “hook” for the first time!

100

Even better: you learn how to fetch the data to display, from the inside component, without performing any additional request.

100

Learning server React first, without state and side effect management, just as a rendering engine, is already a huge step. You discover JSX, conditionals & iterations, components, file-based routing, styling, etc.

I’m drafting a workshop to help beginners learn React and @nextjs.org, and I couldn’t agree more with the point @shadcn.com made on Twitter: “An interesting side effect of RSC is that React is now actually easier to teach/learn.”

Sounds great! Subscribed ✅

Most likely a reference to the Quebec interjection “tabarnac”, derived from the word “tabernacle”.

I’ve seen several companies where this level was Software Engineer 2. I guess it depends on whether it’s a tech company or the IT department of a non-tech company. I know many developers who I think will never reach the Senior level, and they might be okay with that.

I’m curious: why do you check where the course is accessed from? I assume the biggest risk with PPP is the use of VPN; but if anyone uses a VPN to purchase, they can use the same VPN to access the course…

100

On my course, I just check the current location at purchase time. Then the user can access the course from anywhere. Yes maybe some people abuse from it, although I don’t think it’s that many people.

42.5% open rate? That’s impressive 😲💪

What would you like @vercel.com to announce for the rest of this Vercel Ship week? I’ll start: an authentication solution, aggregating OAuth providers + username/password + password-less, compatible with Auth.js 🤞

000

Quick, I need an idea for a tiny side project to play with @vercel.com Storage! 🤩

Announcements by @vercel.com for Vercel Ship obviously 😁 Also going to France to see friends and family for a week, leaving tomorrow afternoon 🛫 (Sorry that was 2 things 😉)

Onboarding a new person in the team or on a project is the most common scenario I’ve seen. But I should try to use it more often, it usually works very well. I also never tried Mob Programming, I’m curious about it…

Sebastien Castiel @scastiel.dev · 29/04/2023

IIRC you organized your contacts in circles (family, friends, work…), and you could choose to post only to one or several circles. I think it was also possible to filter your timeline based on circles.

Sebastien Castiel @scastiel.dev · 28/04/2023

Someone I met at a dev meetup trusted me enough to subscribe to my mentoring services 💪🏻 How about you Joe?

Sebastien Castiel @scastiel.dev · 28/04/2023

I remember using a software for this purpose 13 years ago. I was able to share keyboard and mouse between a PC and a Mac. It wasn’t as a smooth experience as it seems to be now 😁

What if @bsky.app was nice not *in spite* but *because* of the invite model, and because invites are rare? To be here, you have to really want it, and convince someone you are worth an invite… Could it be why people are so nice here?
