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 […]

A quick note here – Dorothy, aka @maclurker in our Slack group has been applying all of her newly-acquired programming skills from PBS to her fabulous PBS Index. She’s now using Mustache templates, Bootstrap styling utilities, and even AJAX with JSON. The result is a beautiful thing to behold, giving us immediate results as you […]

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 […]

Glitch.com Web Learning Tool Review by Caleb Fong
Originally I was going to compare Codepen to Glitch, but then I discovered a feature of Codepen that I didn’t realize was there and have to re-evaluate my original comparison. So today … it’s just focused on glitch.com. But I’m getting ahead of myself. What’s the problem to be solved? Namely web hosting. Server husbandry […]

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 […]

I start the show by trying to convince you to write by hand instead of with a keyboard when you’re trying to think. I wrote up a stor called Tesla Tech, this one sadly entitled, “How to Get Your Tesla Repaired After an Accident”, but alert listener Kevin M pointed out that I totally forgot […]

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 […]
