How did you learn Node.js and/or Javascript?
-
The best way to learn a new programming language is to write something in it, no exceptions. All those "X language in 24 hours" books are hogwash, because it's just not possible.
Obviously, it's a double-edged sword -- you make mistakes and make bad decisions when you're learning on your own, but that's another way to learn as well, by cleaning up your messes.
That's my philosophy.

@frissdiegurke Oh good point -- my experience is close to null, just messing around with some client side (php and just started with javascript a couple months ago).
@psychobunny By the way...this reply is one example where comments would be a good feature/plugin to have. A small enough point that applies specifically to one reply. Almost like I set it up to illustrate an example

I was thinking of writing a theme that looks somewhat like this (Medium): http://i.imgur.com/FvmN2hs.png
Original page - https://medium.com/human-parts/a9dee51df185 -
@psychobunny Tres cool! But how would that work in mobile? The mobile text is already a sorta narrow column in the middle of the screen, can't squish it any more.
-
You should check out how that page looks on mobile. I think I'd do something of a similar concept

@psychobunny Interesting...I'm trying to login to NodeBB on my phone but the facebook (nor twitter) login buttons work. Is that a known bug? Second to latest Android on Galaxy S3.
About the Medium comments -- I moderately like them. "Moderately" because people often don't click on stuff if they don't have to, so comments that are tiny and already appearing get more play than comment buttons that have to be clicked, although the latter looks cleaner.
-
Those buttons are not working for me on this site using just Chrome on Windows 7.
-
Oh noes! Now the social login buttons aren't working for me on Windows 8, Chrome. I logged out to test it, and couldn't log back in because I forgot my password
Actually: if you login with facebook and then the facebook button stops working, is there no password to even forget?
-
I'm pretty sure there is a password forget. I had to use it when I logged out to test the buttons.
Yeah, here it is.
-
@Kamal-Patel When logging in through oAuth, no password is supplied to you, it's more a direct handshake/trading of one off data between NodeBB & Facebook (in this case).

Thanks btw, https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/issues/1465

Seemed to be my fault
sorry for this... -
No worries
Temporarily disabled your plugin here, I think you've just pushed a fix? We'll test it out in the morning -
@psychobunny yes. And I did one more just now.
0.1.1-3depends on https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/commit/6f0e749b60dae4bd2bca9bfc70b72b4285e324dc -
Thanks for the heads up!
