Dev Diary Entry, 5th February 2019
I’ve downloaded the Flutter SDK (and xCode and Android Studio) to my Mac this week because I want to try Flutter out. I got the Hello World app working and the hot reloading feature is very cool! Mobile app development is something that interests me so we’ll see whether I can stick with it further than the tutorial 😂
- I got a lot of comments on my last blog post about how to prevent pasting into input fields. Users don’t like this feature!
- I made an Instagram post reviewing my developer skills for the 10 year challenge that’s viral on social media at the moment. There is quite a difference!
- Convert a string to a number in JavaScript - I didn’t realise there was a different between
NaN
andNumber.NaN
in JavaScript, although I’m not surprised either! - Adding generators to your Gatsby site with plop - this is a useful tool and I’d like to do it for this Hugo blog since I can’t get archetypes to work!
- Dissecting Front-end Job Titles - this is an interesting explanation of different job titles in the frontend sector.
