Bart continues his redux and new information by circling back through Objects as Arrays in JavaScript. I don’t know about you, but I get a lot out of the redux episodes because it cements in place concepts that were a bit wiggly before he goes through it again. The one new concept he goes through […]

CCATP #611 – Bart Busschots on PBS 84 of X – Objects as Dictionaries in JavaScript (Redux & Update)
Bart has been noticing that there are a few key features in JavaScript that haven’t ever really congealed for me and is circling back in hopes of firming them up. The other reason he’s going over these topics is that new options have been created since we first covered them. The first of these subjects […]

CCATP #602 – Bart Busschots on PBS 81 of X – The JavaScript Promise Utilities
In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use Promises, with a capital P to get promises when we already know the value we want to supply. That sounds funny but it will make sense in context. Then he shows us how we can control parallelization of promises using Promise.all(). It’s […]

In the very first Programming By Stealth supplemental episode, I interview Dorothy Rendon, the programmer behind the PBS Index. If you haven’t seen it before, it’s an index that Dorothy has created for the Programming By Stealth students to helpt them find key topics in Bart Busschots’s fabulous tutorial shownotes. We’ll first get a little […]

Bart Busschots (successfully) explains the concept of JavaScript promise chains. It’s a rough ride because of the subject itself, but he gets us there through his care and detail in explaining the concepts and of course his great examples. When he’s done, you’ll know how to chain promises together, you’ll understand what data is passed […]

Bart Busschots and I both had a great time doing the challenge this week. In this week’s installment Bart takes us through his homework not in a detailed step-by-step method, but rather he goes through some major structural ways he created his code. He digs deep enough to explain why but it’s a great lesson […]

Bart Busschots starts this week’s episode with a great refresher on what a callback actually is (because I have remained mystified by the term). He starts with simple examples and then shows us how we’ve been using callbacks all along and just didn’t realize it. Then he’ll walk through the challenge solution and the extra […]

In this week’s Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us the last two concepts in Mustache, one of which is a real head bender and for me at least, the second was almost as hard. The first is how you can add an optional third argument to a Mustache view which is actually a function […]

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots teaches us about Mustache Templates. Mustache Templates are a library that allows you to input any string and output a string. Unlike the template tag for HTML5, Mustaches are not restricted to HTML snippets. Mustache isn’t the only game in town but it’s Bart’s favorite. I […]

When I retired, I decided that one of my goals was to learn to program. I took Basic in college in 1976, and later Fortran IV with WAT5. when I was in grad school. In 1982, in my Master’s Project in Mechanical Engineering I actually used Fortran. (“The Development of Clearances in a Spacial Revolute […]
