Panel: https://twitter.com/cmaxw?lang=en Guest: https://twitter.com/wonder95 This week on My JavaScript Story, Charles speaks with https://twitter.com/wonder95 who is a website developer and lives in Portland, OR. He is a senior developer at an international corporation called, https://www.fluke.com. Today’s main topic of conversation is https://www.drupal.org. Check out the episode to hear about this and much more!  In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:05 – Chuck: Welcome! I appreciate your contributions with hooking me up with some people. 2:22 – Started in IT in 1995. 2:38 – Chuck: How did you get into software development? 2:46 – Steve: In high school not much courses on it. Then in college did some programming there. After college, I was supposed to get married. I was thinking finance. Never nailed down what I wanted to do. Called Bank of America in 1991 – called them. He said let me put in touch with someone. One of the things I got to put classes on “how does this system work.” I got into the banking job and realized not for me. Did realize that I do like teaching. Got software support for another bank. My banking software experience got me the job. We did interfaces – data from PC base to main systems like IBM, etc. I dealt with the source. Same time, I was a diehard racket ball player; on the board state organization. Someone organizing a website for group through Front Page. Hey do you want to take this over? Got to know Front Page. It’s painful to think about it. Same time a position opened up. I got PHP books, and created a new website for our racket ball organization. Off-time learning this. At work I used other tools for the job. That’s where I got into programming and developing. I was an analyst and wanted to program. I created a website from nothing in 2004 for a mountain bike shop. Learned a lot about PHB – and learned that I never want to build anything from scratch ever again. 2006 I start looing for a CMS and I got into some evaluations and got into https://www.drupal.org. Now I got to do fulltime https://www.drupal.org. Some guys left the company and got to do https://www.drupal.org, also. There’s a book on basic https://www.javascript.com, and haven’t gotten into it. It’s nice because since 2009 I have been working from home. 3-4 years ago I heard about https://angular.io and how it was used in https://www.drupal.org. Weather.com – they did things with Angular. I started diving into https://angular.io. Then a small project – worked with Travis then we started with our new ideas/projects. Then I went and took some https://angular.io classes, and I was working on my project. I had these questions. They said that this was used for a one-time use. Okay, I had to figure it out. Travis one day asked: What are you doing? I showed him with the calendar and integrated with... Travis asked if I wanted to go to work with him. Then the past few years I have been working with https://vuejs.org. 12:41 – Chuck: In 2006 I got into Ruby on Rails. I got into https://jquery.com and did some backbone and progressed the same way you did. Worked with https://angular.io and Vue. There is a lot...
