November 17, 2018 8 - Creating a website is not easy in 2018
Creating a website is no longer a simple and perhaps fun task.
Or at least it isn't as fun or easy as it used to be.
A developer has to invest time and effort in the environment and tooling that is used, instead of concentrating on the code and the creation process.
A frontend developer needs to learn command line skills in order to install frontend dependencies.
Not all frontend developers want to learn backend tools.

November 17, 2018 6 - Typecast as a frontend or backend or full stack web developer
There are many types of web developers. Traditionally there are frontend developers, who tend to deal with the client sided components such as JavaScript, CSS, HTML and user journeys.
The opposite of a frontend developer is a backend developer, who’s skills focus around server based processes, core computational logic and features that are indirectly accessed by users through a frontend application.

November 17, 2018 5 - Refactoring and restructuring code
The technical language and the terminology that we use to explain how a system is built, how a system needs to be altered and how it can be improved is very important in programming. Often we mix up the meaning of restructuring and refactoring and this can lead to confusion.
In this live stream I am going to talk about the differences between refactoring and restructuring a program.

November 17, 2018 3 - Feeding your feedback loops
Let's talk about feedback loops when coding and developing web systems.
You will find both positive and negative feedback loops in many places in life. When writing a computer program or web system we can use feedback loops to inform us of system behaviour and system performance. We can also gather metrics from user journeys and customer interactions.
