I'm currently doing my masters in computer science at TU Berlin. I work as PHP freelancer for the largest german WordPress agency.
My next project will be a NodeJS one. So I start tackling the challenge to learn JS in depth.
Nothing here yet.
No blogs yet.
I also have some aliases. Here are my favorites: # Simply reload your bash configs to source changes or to update $PATH alias reload= 'clear; source ~/.zshrc' # Is the internet down? Simply check with a ping alias dping= 'ping duckduckgo.com' # What's the weather in Berlin? alias wetter= 'curl -4 wttr.in/Berlin' alias wttr= 'curl -s wttr.in/Berlin | head -7 | tail -5' # Save some letters ;) alias g= 'git'
I think it's natural to feel somehow embarrassed (or is it the culture we live in?). Anyhow. Don't feel bad for yourself. I sometimes feel the same - we do make mistakes but when someone finds a bug and reports it, try feeling good about it. The person took some time to read your code and even spend time to write you that something could be improved. Tom McFarlin (known as WordPress developer) wrote a nice article about that "This could be better" . One last word about the tone. Keep calm. You don't know what this person has gone thru today. Maybe s/he had a rough day. If the person repeatedly uses that tone you should ask her/him why.
I am actually a PHP developer and know Laravel as well. However I decided to use NodeJS for a new project and so I came across AdonisJS. The similarity is obvious. I actually like the concept of Laravel and so I like AdonisJS because it helped me to quick start the projects. The community is not as large as Laravel's one but I see good activity within it. The fact that the maintainer has now release version 3.0 shows that the project is moving forward and new features are added continuously. My opinion is, that AdonisJS will get momentum in short time and the community will grow soon.
When I started to dig deeper into WP I learned a lot from tutorials on Tuts+ . Like @shriharishastry said, the hooks is very important for WordPress and to truly understand how to build proper products for WP. When you understand actions and filters (the 2 types of hooks used in WP) you can start digging around at the Codex (WordPress' Documentation)
