I have decided to do my SunburstJS tutorial as a Google Hangouts chat. Basically I will teach one person all the way from setting up your React App to adding a Node+Express+Mongo backend to adding Authentication (PassportJS). I think this should take about five 1-hr sessions over the next two weeks. This session will be recorded so that other FCC people might benefit. I need one person to help me out and ask the questions that I don’t even know I need to answer.
Basic requirements are:
Should know basic HTML/CSS/JS/React (so if you have finished the Frontend and Dataviz certs you are good)
If you are interested, please DM me and we will set up a google hangout. I will work with you to get a timing we can both do. Thank you for your interest!
edit: in case theres any doubt - yes this is totally free. just tryin to give back in a way that works for me.
Sounds good and will follow as im sure to learn from this.
Will throw my name in the hat for being the mentee … havent worked with Clementine.js … doing React at the moment and using create-react-app … only way i could find to get react up and running … Have done the markup previewer in it but havent done anything connected to a server with react yet.
Have done the voting app with express mongoose and passport and no frame work … have also done the voting app with Vue using nuxt,js connected to backend with express mongoose and passport.
While the voting-app with no framework is up on Heroku … I havent got around to putting the vue with nuxt version up … it just runs on localhost at the moment as I went straight into learning about React.
will dm you and you can take it from there … and good luck to who you choose should be a good experience
I’m also having problems with the site. I tried to sign up for the site. When I went to validate my email, it won’t let me sign in. I just get a message that says ‘An Unknown Login Error’ occurred.
to anyone following along… @johnl3 and i had an initial call today and i tried to record it but failed horribly because i am a noob at these things… we should start recording our lessons in the next couple days and i will post them up here. in case you want to skip to the end, this is the repo i will be working with: https://github.com/sw-yx/sunburstjs
@sw-yx I’m not looking to be a mentee, but as an alternative method for your tutorial, have you looked at Scrimba interactive coding screencasts? I’m not affiliated with Scrimba, but I watched a CSS Grid tutorial that Per (at Scrimba.com) put together. It is a pretty slick system.
i havent but i’ll check it out. its probably more involved than i want it to be since im just looking to record a bunch of videos for future learners to check out haha
edit: checked it out - looks like its only for frontend coding as theres no ability to run a server. bummer the tech looked super cool
Hey future people who might find this - our first video is here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS55ww28KwI We go over setting up and deploying Create-React-App with a Node/Express backend, all in <40mins! You get to see all my screwups along the way lol.
Alright so John and I are going to do this crazy experiment and you are invited! here is the link to the livestream happening in an hour or so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS55ww28KwI it’ll convert to a video in case you miss it. i hope i dont screw this up.
In this session John and I will go over setting up and deploying Create-React-App with a Node/Express backend. We will assume you already know basic HTML/CSS/JS/React.
Continuing our adventures from here. In our first stream we set up a basic fullstack js app. in our second stream we are going to implement react router and mongoose/mongodb. see you in the chat if you’re around!
apparently Javascript is not a language
the tech looked super cool
