Continuing React, and Indy.js

Today I continued working through React lessons in FreeCodeCamp. Didn’t make it all the way through. Lots of non-intuitive stuff that is forced by making accommodations into kludges against EcmaScript syntax. I’m glad I have enough of a CS background to see why some of the more confusing things must work the way they do. But React is still a massive kludge, however useful it is.

I also attended my first meeting of the Indy.js meetup. There were four very informal lightning talks, and some chatting afterward. Again, even when I don’t follow everything they’re saying, I feel more comfortable with the developers than the designers. I also learned that there’s a very active FreeCodeCamp community in Indy, so I’ll be looking into that.

Oh, and I applied to some developer jobs and places I think would be good to work. I’m not as prepared for those jobs as I’d like, but they have openings NOW so I need to apply NOW. And keep learning.
