Oui, mais les informations que j'ai Γ©crites sont en espagnol parce que sont pour avoir aidΓ© un sujet Γ  l'universitΓ© au Granada. La majeure partie est basΓ©e sur ce lien (angalis): medium.com/python4you/creating-tel...

Mais mon code est ici aussi: github.com/JJ/IV/tree/master/ejemp...

I passed my Rails & Javascript review a few hours ago! I did not realize there would be a quiz, and after stumbling in the beginning (I'm looking at you hoisting and scope) but my instructor said I was the first one so far to correctly answer the last function/scope quiz question.

I built a game in vanilla JS with a ruby on rails backend for my project. It was a lot of fun! I'll write some more posts about my process, etc when I have time. For now, it can be played and downloaded locally.

Finally got back to coding after some issues (good an less good) and working on a new product, named OMNITED.
This is built from words Omni (all) and United and is about solving the problem of having conversations with different peoples on different channels.

I put a very very simple first LP online: omnited.com.

Based on my own "framework" and Stack (used also with with kunvenu.com) #go, #vue, #arangodb, #redis, #nsq and Rancher/Docker I did this week full reg/auth flow with GUI, Team and Space management.

Yesterday I was offered a chance to teach computer science in a primary school (basically, teaching the basics of computers, operating systems, Word and Excel). Since I'm teaching at the local university, it is a big challenge for me because I've never worked with kids, but I really love teaching, so I hope to be up to the challenge.

I took a leap of faith and outsourced some design work for a website front-end - usually I'd do it all myself. The designer delivered above and beyond, meaning the site will look better than I had imagined, and I can offload a lot more design an increase capacity. Happy to see the business growing in the right direction.
