Hey. New board.

Ooh, I clicked the course I wanted in Udemy (React - the Complete Guide) and two great things happened. First, it offered me an additional course on "React Native - The Practical Guide" for even more of a discount, and it also turns out they are even cheaper if I pay in the native Brazilian currency. I paid the equivalent of like $12 for both. Not bad!

So my path is: amych's books (started already), then the React Complete Guide course, at least as much as I find interesting, then the React Native book to maybe cobble together an app for my own testing (I already did a super-simple flutter app once, probably good to try its main competitor). Then maybe Elm, for more fully-functional indoctrination.

Thanks all!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, Typescript is really pretty sweet.

Have fun with your learnings!

I need help I am having internet issues through my apple airport and I switched on the internet tab from Connect using "Static" to "DHCP" and now it needs my router address and I have no idea.

I think maybe I found it in "network" in my system preferences.

ok, I got my airport back working, but I am getting no internet connection when I connect it to my modem.

I get internet when I connect my modem directly to my computer.

Anybody use an online cloud backup service?

Hey. New board.

I roll my own with Google drive plus an external hard drive. Probably not the best option but works for my needs.

Tom, I use Acronis. Seems to work moderately well but I have to remember to plug in my external hard drive occasionally to allow it to be backed up too...
