Hello friends!

I hope you had a great week! I've personally been cleaning up my home a lot (building on the theme from last week) and have been pretty happy with the results. Anyway, onwards!
 

Web links of the week

Something that interested me this week

In addition to cleaning a bunch this week, I've also re-upped my Skillshare subscription and have been taking several classes there. I've been trying to get better at design in general (mostly for laser cutting purposes), and I've been pretty happy with the short courses they have on the subject! I promise this isn't an ad. Although if you wanted to use a referral link, I wouldn't be opposed... :)
 

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you build something using the Swatch beat time! Andrew built a Spring Boot application (I didn't know what Spring Boot was, so that was cool to see), and Stuart built a small web app using CodePen for the first time (woo hoo)!

This week's question:
Write a "click outside detector" where given an object (whether it be a DOM node or some other visual thing), if a user clicks inside of it, nothing happens, but if they click outside of it, an event is triggered.

Joke

I've been trying to get my husband to read Pride & Prejudice. Whenever I do, he just says, "I’m too good for it, and I have a feeling that it’ll try to lecture me."
 
That's all for now folks! Have a good week! Be safe, make good choices, and learn something fun.
