What skill would you like to work on for the night?

[Azmaeus]

I think this needs to be added to the project to get it on the kanban. Members don't have access to do that it seems.

I figured this part out thanks guys

Initial pseudo code and ideas just pasting here

• skills, knowledge, attributes Meet up lists Level up increase skills

• Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve software.

• problem solver - pseudocode and breaking it down

• Technical communication

• Migrate code to more modern technologies (rewrite or refactor, read legacy code)

• Solve Issues- fix code - debugging

• Learn new tech - stay relevant - read docs

• CS skills knowledge and or algorithm skills focused on efficiency

• Write quality, performant, scalable and responsive, software that fulfills the spec and provides great user experiences. Clean best practices

• Work tools like Web Pack, Parcel, Grunt, Gulp aka “task runners” etc.

• Workflow stuff like - text editor, computers, git (or other source control), browsers, command line

• Front end skills are many and can include: design - functionality - forms - templating, responsiveness, handling user input - events - polyfills and browser compatibility

• Servers - aka REST APIs - request, response objects, urls, file systems, file handling (cloud or not)

• Cookies, sessions, security, sending emails, server side rendering

• A bridge between server and client interaction - JSON, AJAX, XML - protocols etc

• DataStores / Data persistence - like Mongo, Redis, SQL, Firebase

• Production - Platforms - dev ops / cloud related skills like - Docker, scaling, monitoring , SEO, performance

• Quality - Testing, linting, CI/CD

• Trends - ever evolving stuff

• Learning a new language - Java, Python, C# (asp.net), php, ruby

• New JS - Library/Framework - Vue, React, Angular, Ember, Handlebars, Aurelia

• Patterns on how to do all this - OOP, MVC, DRY and more of course

• Books, tutorials, courses, professional academia/school, bootcamps

• Read code. Read lots of code.

• Reading in Slack channels, asking questions online etc.

• Share/Teach - can use #meetup-ssew Slack Channel in Utah JS

• Top Answer : Code - with a purpose (or a passion) - Solve problems, build stuff

• Many claim pair coding is the best way to “level up” (ask me for sources if you want)

• Coding challenges - Codewars, HackerRank etc.

• Doing open source coding together

• Build small apps

• Other skills based practice activities

• Teach each other something studied that last week and code/read/dissect code examples

KEYS to Focus on:

• Master programming fundamentals, pay more attention to architecture than to programming.
• Master Style: Patterns: Best practices
• Become a creative, excellent problem solver - aka improve analytical/logic/thinking skills “Programming languages, tools, and methodologies come and go. That’s why it pays to get as much experience as you can with as many languages and frameworks as possible. Focus on the programming fundamentals, because the basics never change; pay more attention to architecture than to programming. If you feel certain that there’s only one right way to do something, it’s probably time for a reality check. Dogma can hamper your ability to learn new things, and make you slow to adapt to change.”

Pair Coding - Stronger or have experience - would be willing to lift others Beginner Novice - want to learn

* Reading books: My library checkout list right now =>

Head First design patterns      
JavaScript patterns 
        Programming language explorations   
        Secrets of the JavaScript ninja

This will be simple at first but needs to have built in complexity for example: Javascript is the focused language - user could add in like into an array the specific part of javascript so its open ended I guess.

·         Experience with microservices and service-oriented architecture     Ability to rapidly learn and become proficient in new languages ·         Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills o   API design and interaction, REST & SOAP o   Object-oriented programming o   MVC frameworks

want to put in here common skills listed on job postings like these above

[murffious]

Solve Issues- fix code - debugging - open Source or Other projects like Give Stack Overflow Answers Read Code - search for patterns, learn how to do stuff - read source code or other Learn and become proficient in new languages or framework open source coding hep wanted new features Build a small app - custom or given idea QA Testing Writing tests together TDD or whatever Demo something in a repo and make a tutorial of small working example Technical Challenge - Coding interview type problems

Sign UP

USERNAME PASSWORD SKILLS and SKILL LEVEL

MeetUP username if we can fore that would help to identify OR Github, (maybe going to use MEET UP API will address later for names) (for MVP forgot password is just manually reset in db for now, so no email needed etc)

Functionality Needed Allow user to Build a profile to use for a matching algorithm of skill level OR take it a different direction

BUTTON - ADD SKILL Language - DROP DOWN Menu after hitting ADD SKILL - required 1 skill is all

HASKELL GO C / C++ PHP PYTHON RUBY JAVASCRIPT SQL SWIFT OBJECTIVE-C PERL R RUST JAVA (new) Reason (new) Q# (new) GraphQL JS - React JS - Angular JS - Vue

(just put a notice of some sort more coming of course like Php - Laravel etc.) each one has two options to select from: My Skill = Familiar With + Want to Learn . OR Level Me Up (aka Learner) My Skill >= Proficient OR Power Level (aka willing to Lead a bit with knowledge or experience)

Alternative includes: using a 1-10 Level score if desired (on the back end numbers likely used anyways ...)

not totally solid yet but we have a start
