  • If I can help, we start the session and move forward

I fell in love with node.js very quickly and it has only improved over the years. Simple tools like commander, express and their native api has made it a joy to work with. And with so much more coming I only expect it to become better.

The web is a wonderful place and scripting on it generally can make it better. Because of the popularity of the web, javascript has become one of the most complicated languages to program in. Not because it is difficult to learn but there is so much to learn

PHP is probably not going anywhere. It has the most reliable and tested content management systems on the planet. While I don't think its ideal for push update shinanigans and the libraries available are relatively restricted, it still is very solid.

Generally you don't write HTML by hand anymore, and you shouldn't. If you want to design something visually, wysiwygs are available. Dynamic content usually uses some sort of front end scripting or back end rendering. However, CSS and styling is a gift that will keep on giving. Boxes in Boxes

I honestly believe it is the best path forward for local development. No longer do you have to install complicated build systems, nor do you need a certain operating system. Now you can have everything you wanted and it doesn't have to leave a mess when you don't want it anymore!

Solidity is a unique language. An object oriented language in a very delicate environment. You must keep aware that the more branches in a function there are, the more varience there may be for gas costs. Keeping in mind to protect certain functions which payout and the dangers of the parrallel nature of ethereum transactions.

Sam is such a great instructor and person at the same time! What a rare find! He's been helping me from a place of zero knowledge in both Type Script and Solidity to be able to depend on myself rather than others.

Solved and learned a lot! Sometimes if we needed a little extra time Sam would stop the session so it was fair all around. An enjoyable and enlightening 45 minutes.

Sam understood what I was trying to do very quickly, and efficiently showed me a better way to accomplish my task. He provided a few code samples that I could expand on in my app. Very helpful at saving me hours of struggles! The information he gave me wasn't found in online docs.
