Hey, I saw you like React, can you please drop some learning resources for the same.

Hi!

Sorry I took a while to answer, but here are my favourite react resources:

Text:

The official react docs -- the best written resource! And since react recently updated their docs, they are even better imo. This is your best friend.

Chat GPT -- this is your other best friend. Need specific examples? Want to ask follow up questions to understand a concept? Want different examples? Wanna know where your missing semicolon is without staring at your code for hours? Don't be afraid to use AI to make your coding more efficient. I use it and learn from it all the time.

React project ideas -- the best way to learn coding is by doing, try these projects out if you don't know what to do or where to start!

Why react? -- explains beneficial concepts about react

Video:

Udemy react course (this one is paid, but udemy often have big sales, so I'd recommend getting this one during a sale) -- I have been continously referring back to this course since starting to learn react.

Web dev simplified's react hooks explanations -- I found these videos to explain with clear examples what each hook does, and they're very beginner friendly.

About NPM -- you need npm (or yarn) to create a react project, and for me working with react was my first step into working with packages in general, so I really recommend learning about it in order to understand how you can optimize the way you use React!

How to fetch locaIly with react

How to fetch from an API with react

Alternative to using useEffect in fetching!?

debugging react

And, speaking of using AI, here are Chat GPTs suggestions:

This made me so happy to read, i remember when i joined it was for exactly this reason: to be surrounded my like minded ppl who could support my learning journey, and who wanted to share theirs so i could learn even more. And now we even have the discord!! Also @web-dev-with-bea thank you always for your heart felt messages, they inspire me to open up on here more, and to show all aspects of what being a web dev/programming student is. You keep it real and that makes me feel safe to do so myself. Thank u to everyone who is contributing to this community, it's such a nice place to be, and thank you Loa @xiacodes for inspiring me to create my own blog, and thank you and everyone else for consistently putting out content to keep this space alive!! Your efforts does not go unnoticed!! ❤️

Hello Loa. I kept thinking about making a post, but I thought it was too emotional of me and I don't like to be so emotional. But I just wanted to thank you for all your time invested in this community (you could be using your time to do something else and you're here) because codeblr really started with you. You spend your time writing texts gathering resources, giving support and always encouraging and sharing new profiles that are starting. This is very big and important. And that's why I also like to call you the queen of the tumblr code community . Once more, thank you.

Now to close, if you want to answer. What advice would you give to your past version and what do you think could help others at the same time (regardless of what it is)?

Hiya Bea! 💗

I'm truly moved by your message and honestly, there's nothing wrong with being emotional. It's heartfelt messages like yours that make all the time and effort spent on this community worthwhile~! 🌷

When I started this blog, there were two blogs I could find that were “codeblr” related that I followed! Sadly after a month, one deleted their blog and the other stopped posting so, to me, I was the only one left. I continued to post because I hoped to create a space where everyone who shares this love for coding could learn, grow, and connect. I wanted a Codeblr community and I wanted it to grow! I’m even more happy that now there’s lots of more women programmers to connect with as well! To know that me posting about my code for the day made such a difference is incredibly rewarding~! 🌻

I think a few months after I created my blog, you @web-dev-with-bea came along, around the same time @code-es joined too! I was sooooo excited as I was like “New coding bloggers! Yay! And they’re girlies like me? Double yay!” and started interacting with you two more! I loved see you two post about your progress~! 🌹

It's been a pleasure watching this community blossom into the vibrant digital garden that it is today. Each new 'flower' (or coder, in our case) brings a unique color and beauty to our shared space. I may have planted the first seed with my first post about learning Java, but it's thanks to everyone here, including you, that this garden has grown so beautifully~! 💐 (Trying to be poetic…)

As for the title 'queen of the Codeblr community', I humbly accept 👸🏾 but only with the understanding that a queen is nothing without the support. I want to thank YOU, as well. Your participation, your eagerness to learn and contribute, help and encourage literal strangers on the internet, are what truly define our community~! 🌺

Lastly, if I could reach back in time to speak to my past self, there are several things I'd say, which I believe can also serve as advice to others:

Start where you are with what you have

Embrace failure as a part of the process

Consistency is key

Don't shy away from asking for help

Celebrate every victory, no matter how small

Be your own cheerleader

Keep the bigger picture in mind

Take care of yourself

Thanks Bea for this amazing ask 💗

@a-fox-studies thank you for tagging me in this!!

At what point in your life did you decide that the world of computers was the one for you?

Heh this is a long one... So read if u want to know some code-es lore :p

But tldr: My dad was a software/computer engineer and his dedication and working spirit is my biggest inspiration, but programming was never a passion of mine - languages were my big thing. This was until I took a programming course and realized that programming is just like learning languages, but with rules that actually apply.

I want to tag: @xiacodes @web-dev-with-bea @compooter-blob @alica-tech @lazar-codes @zoeythebee @cloudycodes @04kid

Programming was always around me when i was younger. My father was a software systems engineer, so when i was a kid i would see him work on matrix looking code, and sometimes he'd even let me press buttons!

But i wasn't really interested in learning anything about computers... I was instead interested in art and especially languages, which was my biggest interest and passion. Then my dad passed away, and following that I'd get more and more interested in programming during my teens, partly to honor him and my family, because on my dad's side almost everyone's a software engineer. I also had an email friend I met on omegle when i was 14-15, and he was 30 something, which... now that i think of it, it was probably pretty a little weird that he wanted to be my friend... but anyways, he was a software engineer and explained what coding/programming was and following that I made my first webpage using only HTML and CSS, in my notepad hahaha!!

But... I didn't do much after that, until I was in my second last year of high school. I signed up to take a programming course for my next and final year. I've always been curious, and wanted all the knowledge I could get, so when a programming course was offered I had to take it! But it was just another small drop in my big lake of interests.

I don't think I realized that computers and programming was what I wanted to do until I visited my family in Mexico 2 years ago, weeks before starting that programming course. For some reason I always saw programming and computers as something out of my reach - i couldn't possibly learn this. However, to prove me wrong, my cousin, who studied software development at the time, showed me his projects, and what he was doing. And, I realized that omg - I could also be doing this? It's within reach!

And then I started learning python in school and I was kind of discouraged, it was so difficult! Most people had previous experience, and seeing what they could already do I felt overwhelmed, thinking I should also be doing that. But I kept coming back to the thought that this is just like learning a language: if I just expose myself to more and more content it will start making sense, and sooner or later I'll be able to form my own sentences and the computer will listen to me.

I've always loved the logic of languages, how the syntax is built, and how verbs are conjugated in accordance to gender, numerus and time in different languages. But... there are always exepctions and irregularities you just have to learn. However, programming is all logic, everything has an explanation, even the seemingly inexplicable concepts. There is always a solution, and my creativity is the limit, and that is what keeps me going.

And then! I was looking at university educations to apply for, when on a whim I found out about my current school, checked what courses they offer and saw something about frontend development. I read the description, and realized that oh my god - this is my type of programming! I get to do design and art AND code? And since studying here, I have realized that, yeah, this is exactly my field, and I love computers and I just want to learn more and more and more, always, and there are so many rabbit holes to fall into within programming.

During my time in school, I would envision myself working with something static in the future; like just going to uni, learning a job, and then doing it. Then, I remember being on studyblr, and seeing the quote "now is the only time in your life when your full time job is to learn" and I took it to heart, and that is what kept me motivated - I thought, what a privilege to just learn for a living. And that is exactly what working with software will be (:

My biggest weakness is finishing writing shit lol, my feedback in on essays was always: ok great, but dont have 3 different points where we think its gonna end but we're met with yet another finishing paragraph. So I'll just end it quickly here, thank you for reading!
