Maybe I’m missing something, but couldn’t you use the includes or has method to do the same thing?

Is the desire to use in on an array to check if a specific index exists? I’m unfamiliar with Python so trying to use in outside of objects sounds confusing.

In a real world scenario you would not use regex for this, so don’t worry. The original function is much easier to read and understand.

No doubt

The way you just subjected your opinion onto me is a great example of what I’m talking about.

I am not blind to the horrors of the world; yet I am subject to them in every forum I participate in.

Wanting reprieve and to temporarily mute the turmoil shouldn’t be something we shame.

Good luck!

PDF is a valid game engine

For example:

Learn about:
1. a programming language.
2. version control.
3. containerization
5. CI/CD tools.
6. container orchestration.
7. data management.
8. cloud services
9. GitOps
10. design patterns
11. …

There’s no reason to overwhelm yourself learning every single technology out there.

I definitely think this is way too ambiguous to really provide any value. I’d go as far as saying it’s a bit misleading as well.

While I understand the desire to list specific technologies, this would have been significantly more valuable a level of detail higher.

HTML is the bones CSS is the skin and JavaScript is the muscles

One less dependency is the best dependency.

Good luck!

Time to greenfield it!

Seriously though, what issues are you running into? Web debugging is a beast, but we have tons of tools to accomplish what we need.

No need to debug if you never make any mistakes!

I learned the most when I built my first portfolio website. The website had CRUD functionality, had a contact form, and then I built a calculator for the site and let users export the results as a PDF. I stumbled through all of it, but I’m a significantly better developer for it.

Best advice I can give is pick up a couple of books. Eloquent JavaScript and JavaScript: The Definitive Guide are two that I recommend that helped me get past just understanding the syntax and actually understanding the language. Then it’s just a matter of writing a lot of code.

I’m more of an is-string guy myself.

I’m doing both and I agree pick one

Do it!

Get it!

Low barrier to entry, the blind leading the blind, and a whole lot of misinformation makes the ecosystem hard to love.

JavaScript is my favorite language, but it’s not hard to understand why developers coming from other languages might feel this way.

If I had to guess this has something to do with how JavaScript handles prototypal inheritance.

JavaScript provides a lot of freedom to do things the worst way, and a good chunk of developers never learn how to do things the right way.

Sure, and this is a cracker.

It’s actually Ecmascript, we just think that name is stinky and call it JavaScript instead.

My point, learning to code has made me better at math.

Being able to visualize abstract math equations in code allows me to gain a better understanding of what’s actually going on.

For example, I can use the Math.sin() function to visualize a wave form, then modify its variables to understand how they each change the wave.

Pure CSS Calculator ...

The CSS is a programming language was unexpected! Let’s go!

For fun, here’s a functional pure CSS calculator!

Did you know CSS is on the path to support Functions and Mixins?

Forget debating whether HTML is a programming language, it’s time to tackle the growing beast that is CSS.

Lots of ways to accomplish this! Codepen sometimes provides better inspiration than StackOverflow.
