Hey friends!
First of all, before moving on to anything else, I just wanted to give you a quick thanks for signing up for this. You definitely didn't have to. But I'm hoping that this thanks makes you feel emotionally obligated enough to not unsubscribe.
Now, because this is my first note out to everyone, I'm going to try a format and if it's good, we'll stick with it. If you hate it, that's okay, you can feel free to reply back and let me know what you'd like to change. I'm here for YOU. Hope that makes you feel powerful.
Web links of the week
This will normally be a list of development-related articles that I read each week. Some might be old. But usually not.
The Red Programming Language
The Basics of DOM Manipulation in Vanilla JavaScript
Grid paintings à la Mondrian with JavaScript
List of JavaScript Game Engines
Something that interested me this week
I asked on
dev.to about text-based game engines. There were some neat resources that might be of interest to you:
Quest
astrosilverio/hogwarts
Ink
Inform7
Interview question of the week
Thought it might be good for you to get your brain moving each week. I'll post a random (not too hard!) interview question here for your practice! So, this week's question is:
Write a function that takes in a number from 1 to 1000 and returns that number in Roman Numerals.
Cool things from around the internet
Not everything on the internet is about tech. Shockingly. Here's some fun things I've found and seen that are fun and worth looking at!
How I learned to draw realistic portraits in 30 days
No Small Plans: A graphic novel adventure through Chicago
A cool mechanical keyboard build log from Reddit
Motion Design: Awesome work of Eyedesyn
And there you have it! Hope you enjoyed. Or at least tolerated it enough to stick with it. Or hated it enough to let me know that I should try a different idea. But not something crazy, like eating really hot peppers. Maybe you could suggest I try whittling wood blocks.
Until next time, friends!
