Fridays With Zell

"Do you have any advice on finding a job as a developer?" Many people have asked me that question, but I can’t give a proper answer because I have never been hired as a developer before. I'm horribly equipped to answer questions about finding a job. But Chris Lienert is great at it. Chris has experience hiring and building teams of excellent developers. And he has lots of golden nuggets to share with you in this episode.

Video link: https://youtu.be/nsORVjJTkeI Text version: https://zellwk.com/blog/your-first-git-commit The staging area If you open up Fork from where we left off previously, you'll see the project screen. If you click on changes, the screen will split into two parts. On the left of the screen, you'll see a section that says unstaged files. Below this section, you'll see another another section that says staged files. To the right, you'll see a placeholder that shows Fork's icon. At the bottom, you'll see a few fields: A commit message field A description field An ammend checkbox A commit button This place is called the staging area. This is where you decide what files you want to save into Git. Staging a file Before you save anything, you need to make a change in the Git repository. Open up your Git project in a text editor like VS Code. Create a file called index.html and give it some HTML to start with. Once you s

You can view the video at this Youtube link: https://youtu.be/0z2vRogzbMQ You can also read this as an article: https://zellwk.com/blog/setting-up-git What is Git? Imagine you're playing a game. In this game, you can create save points. When you die in the game, you will need to load your game and continue from your save point. If you didn't create a save point, you will start all the way at the beginning of the game again. That's not a fun experience, so its always a good idea to save your game. Git is like a save point system for your work. You can create save points. In Git we call each save point a commit. When you create a commit in Git, you can load your work from that commit. If you create five commits, you can load your work from any of these commits. That's what Git is for. We call it a version control system because you can save and load your work from any commit. Choosing a Git Client Many people teach you ho

I'm going to start a podcast. But why am I starting a podcast when I'm already doing video every Friday? I wanted to start a podcast before starting a video because podcasts seem to be way less intimidating compared to videos. But I also wanted to teach code, and podcasts wouldn't be a very good medium for it. Overtime, I realized that most of the videos I put out only contain audio, so you don't have to watch me on screen. That is true for the past 10-15 videos. It'll be boring if you watch nothing but me talk to you for 5-10 minutes. You can't do anything else. You need to have your Youtube tab or Youtube app open. I only realized that my content is suitable for podcasts when one of my students in Learn JavaScript brought it up to me. She asked why I didn't start a podcast instead. So I thought, why not do both of them at once? That's why I'm starting a podcast. Everything is still raw I don't even know whether the process I have to put this video into Itunes will work well. I'm testing things out. If this
