It's that time of the week again. So wonderful devs, what did you learn this week? It could be programming tips, career advice etc.
I learned about
anacron, cron's companion. Just likecronyou can use it to schedule some task but the difference is it doesn't assume your system is running 24/7. This is from the manpage.This nice article can tell you more about it.
I also learned that scripts executed by
cronandanacronare a horrible environment for GUI apps. If you do want to show something on the screen your best chance is to run it with your user (not as root) and set theDISPLAYvariable in the script. I do something like this.That's awesome! 🔥
That it's

I was working on displaying a lot of data in one of my tasks in my current company. I was able to use the
data gridfor this so as to enable sorting, filtering, searching all in one.On top of it I was also required to allow our users to able to download the content into Excel and/or CSV. Hence, I came about writing this article about implementing the export of data in Angular 😁

Today was unproductive sad day, but because of you I remembered what I accomplished and now I am not feeling down anymore. Thank You!
I created my first pipeline task group in Azure DevOps. It was painful, but my CI/CD knowledge in Azure is slowly growing. I also started taking a look at more of the rxjs operators while tinkering with my portfolio. I'm adding a section to show articles that I've written here on dev.to.
I learned a lot about accessibility at CascadiaJS!
Noice!

Ive learned a lot stuff about JavaScript functions and anonymous functions. My goal for this year is to write and understand the basics in JS.
When you are done, you should have a look at the following:
useContext() and Redux in ReactJs

I learned a lot about Dart/Flutter, they are a new and efficient way to make mobile apps and recently web apps also. So practical, beautiful and fast.
I was working on the front end of a website and I learnt bootstrap framework for it.
Nice!
I learned I could make some terminal app using C, libcurl and graphql. (I should post about it soon);
Where do you find all those gifs?
