  • 88 - How to make a JavaScript API Client

    What is an API client compared to an API endpoint and how do you build, test and document a API client? These are some of the questions that I answer in todays podcast. Essentially an API client is bit like a Software Development Kit (SDK)   

    In this episode I talk about how I am developing a JavaScript API client using tools such as Jest, Nock, Babel, EsLint and Documentation.js

  • 87 - New Courses and PHP 8

    I have created a beginner friendly HTML, CSS and JavaScript course.  This is quite different from the other courses that we have on HTCW because this is project based. You will be developing a Tip Calculator and this project includes three tutorials. 

    This is a free course that will be published on howtocodewell.net and YouTube.  The code is available here

    In this episode I talk about the course and future project based courses on HTCW. I also discuss the future of HTCW and when I plan to upgrade PHP to version 8.

        In a message to the PHP externals, Microsoft has announced that it is dropping Windows support for PHP 8 and beyond.

        In this episode I am going to discuss what this means for Windows based PHP developers.
        I will also be asking questions, highlighting developer concerns and making recommendations to those learning PHP on Windows development environments.

      • 84 - My Web Development tools and work flow

        Whilst live coding on Twitch I was asked about my web development work flow, the different types of tools that I use and what to expect when progressing in a career in web development.

        In this episode I am going to answer all of this and more.  We are going to cover why I use Jira more than Trello to record tasks. What frameworks I have mostly been using and what to expect as you advance in web development.
