A smart contact is a virtual contract that controls the transaction between two parties. It builds the trust between the parties and makes sure there is no mistakes/errors/fraud. It acts as a middle man between the sellers and the buyers. Smart contact is stored under blockchain technology (which is a ledger) that supports bitcoin and another cryptocurrency.

TBH, that's an understatement Chris Stephens :)

"Deployments should be treated as part of a development workflow, not as an afterthought." — source We deploy major releases to production at a scheduled time, when the whole team is aware of. We just don't do it during the weekends because the traffic is very high and team members are unavailable. :)

I would recommend following: TypeForm https://www.typeform.com/ Tellform Basically a clone of Typeform, but it's good too! https://www.tellform.com/ Google Forms https://www.google.com/forms/about/ Lime Survey https://www.limesurvey.org/ Survey Monkey https://www.surveymonkey.com/

Definitely Amazon! I mean just look at the AWS offerings . That list is never ending. When AWS goes down, half of the internet products become useless: Quora, Giphy, Cloudinary, Twitter (some parts), etc to name some. Google Cloud Platform on the other has a strong/capable product line, but customer adoption is not as vast as AWS. Recently, Microsoft Azure has started doing better.

I think it has to be observables, I was pleasantly surprised when I came to know about them (through MobX) when I tried them out. It is already quite popular, but the concept of React Native (and React) to learn once, and write everywhere ; with same concept of components, but reconciled to different things (DOM in the Web, Views in the Mobile) should also get more exposure. You would be surprised at how many people still think that React Native is just a fancy wrapper over the web view.

I think for a developer there are many channels to make money. What you call as a channel for "extra money" may be the major source of income for others. Here are a few things a developer can do: Freelancing (ofcourse) Consulting Advising companies and individuals on how to use certain technologies Making online videos Teaching people online through YouTube, Vimeo, etc. This can be a good source of income as well. Writing online articles Writing articles for sites like SitePoint, Smashing Magazine, etc. In fact, Hashnode is also paying authors for writing Hashnode Original articles. Read this . Writing books Publish books for Smashing Magazine or self publish at Leanpub Get a full time job 🤓

Thanks @littlepsylo that's helpful!

I'm well aware of the fact that React is just a view library, and Angular is a full blown framework. As an instance Angular comes inbuilt with a router, but where as in React, you need something like react-router to achieve this; my question is what other libraries in the React ecosystem are needed for a React project to achieve a functionality closer to the one provided by Angular out of the box.

I like to look React vs Angular as a Pomegranate seed, vs Complete Pomegranate. I'm well aware of the fact that React is just a view library, and Angular is a full blown framework.
