OpenWeb Meetup Sarajevo - PWA

Image
Progressive Web Apps This month's OpenWeb Meetup in Sarajevo there was talk about the progressive web apps, what are progressive web apps, what make a web app progressive, pros and cons as well. It's always nice to chill with fellow geeks and eat pizza! If you are in Sarajevo he meetup is every last Tuesday in the month:  OpenWeb Meetup is a once in a month gathering of professionals and enthusiasts who are using various web technologies. Lot's of fun, tech talk, networking and presentations around the state of open web technologies in Bosnia and around the globe are warranted. If you have any ideas, suggestions, want to help organize, please use the comments section! And here is a nice video presentation about PWA's:  (not from this meetup, but the topic is the same) 

Udemy Course Review

Angular 4 Front To Back Recently I completed the  Angular 4 Front To Back Udemy course, thought by Brad Traversy.  I enrolled in the course about 2-3 months ago, but I only recently got into it seriously, as I wanted to complete it before jumping to React. The course is almost nine hours long, broken into 10 distinct sections, with a total of 68 lessons.  The first 7 sections cover intro and basic concepts, while the last 3 sections involve implementing what you've learned in two projects. Sections are labeled as follows: Section: 1   Introduction Section: 2 Setup & File Structure Section: 3 Diving Into Components Section: 4 Template Syntax Section: 5 Events & Forms Section: 6 Services & HTTP Section: 7 Angular Router Section: 8 FAQ App Project Section: 9 Client Panel Project - Part 1 Section: 10   Client Panel Project - Part 2 First thing that I liked ab...

Sarajevo Hacktoberfest Open Hack Day

First Sarajevo Hactoberfest was awesome, lot of interesting presentations on Open Source and Git, free snacks and laptop stickers from GitHub and Digital Ocean!  Apart from networking with fellow geeks and talking about coding with people who have the same interests, my personal part was a mini-presentation by Adnan Kicin in a from of a meme-based (no surprise there, I'm a big time meme lover) power point presentation.  The author of the memes graciously allowed me to share his memes on my blog. So, enjoy some fresh geeky memes:

New Logo

I got a new logo! I talked my designer friend into making a logo for me, since I suck at design.. I wanted it clean and simple here it is: Keep coding!

Shout out from Coding Phase!

I got a shout out from Coding Phase, just a word of warning; one of my favorite past times is making up brand new ancient proverbs.. Here's a meme to sum it up: That's all for today, thanks for stopping by!

How to solve seemingly too difficult tasks?

Image
Recently I applied for an internship in a pretty cool company and they gave me a task.  I was tasked with building a simplified Twitter clone, without registration and a login. I learned a lot from it but it think the most important lesson is when faced with a challenge that seems to difficult is to break it into small problems and solve those small tasks one by one. First thing that came to my mind was that there was no way I can do any of this! I was required to use either MERN MEAN  stack for the mini app. I was in a bit of a dilemma on choosing  between React/Flux and AngularJS. I went with AngularJS since I took a few Angular tutorials before and haven't played around with React yet. For the entire first day I just felt stuck and stupid so I didn't get any work done... The next day I finally snapped out of it and started with some pseudo code. I started with basic HTML layout and some basic CSS styling. The next road block was when ...
