Frontend Development Lead
Hello, there 👋 I'm Alan!
I love teaching people how to code, and making coding tutorials, one of my big passions is transferring my web development/coding skills and knowledge on to people like you! 🔥
...I'm a 29-year-old Software Developer based in Belfast in Northern Ireland. My current full-time role is Frontend Development Lead where I lead and oversee all the frontend development for our new platform and framework, built in NextJS, React TailwindCSS bundled in a NX mono-repo. I am also the Mobile Team Lead where I develop apps for our company using the Ionic Framework and React javascript.
Throughout this blog, expect to see How to posts about coding on all aspects of HTML, CSS, Javascript (JS), ReactJS, NodeJS, PHP, and even the odd review of cool UI Frameworks or libraries that I've found.

Nothing here yet.
Yeah definitely could include that for people who are confused about modern-day SPA that don't actually "redirect" or "reset". I guess I just assumed that readers would understand the architecture and structure of Next (and React in that case) in terms of links and how you should not refresh your app, because of course, you will lose your state. The state is always available in any case until the page is refreshed. Hopefully, this tutorial was then slightly helpful after all, and sorry if you found it unusable, however, I did try to cover what was needed.
Brilliant little guide. Although being a Senior developer myself, and already knowing flex, this is great and I can see this being a real "go to article" for people to remind them about important flex properties. Good job. Love it - and love the simple class names which have a huge effect on efficiency and simplicity!
Thanks for the comment. Yeah this is such an important point to take onboard. Even as a senior developer myself, I often forget about the importance of taking regular breaks to really let your mind and body relax and recharge. Plenty of times I've taken a break from an excruciating bug or problem, only to come back fresh and solve it within minutes. Nice to meet you 🙌
