So I found this sub a few days ago and I'm really intrigued by the idea of learning a programming language together. I haven't had time to participate in the first challenge, however I plan to partake in the next one.

Since js is only one part of web development, I thought it would be cool to have a group like this for another language that is huge in that area - namely, php. So, is anyone here interested it founding a group similar to jstogether, but for php?

I'd be happy to set up a subreddit and maybe some other communication channel and colaborate with you to find challenging projects and tasks.

I'm a beginner in php as well, but that's what this is all about - an opportunity for people to learn together. Write a comment here or send me a PM if you're interested.

@mods I hope it's ok for me to post that in this group.

Edit: So I just created /r/phptogether ! If you want to join, subscribe to the subreddit, I will post some suggestions about tomorrow!

Hey guys,

So I know this a great sub for all things programming related, but I thought I'd just pop in and mention our new sub /r/CodingHelp

Over the last few days we have revived it and now have over 1000 subscribers already! Please come and check it out if you want some free, friendly and easy to understand coding help!

^{Mods, if this isn't allowed, sorry, please remove it}

Hello there, We are a software training company looking for freelance writers to write JavaScript and Web development tutorials for us. We like when tutorial sites cover how to build something interesting or unique while also teaching about a technology. Scotch and Thinkster do this well:

Build a __________ with ____________

https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-build-nested-model-driven-forms-in-angular-2 https://thinkster.io/angularfire-slack-tutorial

Technologies we're open to exploring: JavaScript Angular 2 React Vue RethinkDB Webpack Redux

Anyone here interested in writing for us?

It's Kinda Like CNN for Web Developers - A new free website that will keep you update-to-date with the latest learning resources on web development.

Hey guys, I just joined this sub and I think it would be great if we can get the experience of building something bigger. I am sure people have thought about some major projects. Lets hear them :)

Group Project - Vote App

The goal of this project is to become accustomed to working with another developer. To succeed you will need to expand your knowledge of git and its workflows and learn to communicate your designs, intentions, and implementations to another person. As before the project will allow for experimentation for those more experienced with development.

To complete this project you need only finish the requirements in the base paragraph. The project will last two weeks and we will post our final results by September 2nd.

If you are feeling frustrated and need some help hop into chat and we can lend a hand. Everything is going to feel like black magic right up to the point that it doesn't.

Don't give up.

Pairing

We highly encourage pairing for this project. We are currently working on tools to help with pairing up, but until then we have formed a channel called "lookingforgroup" in Slack, check it out if you are looking for a partner. We will also be posting a thread on here for pairing. Be intentional and seek someone out, it will be worth it for the experience.

Some things to consider when choosing a partner:

• Time differences: Make sure you are going to be able to be online at the same time at least once or twice a week.

• Experience Level: You will want someone who is somewhat close to your level of experience. Too big a gap can cause communication frustrations.

• Interests: Try and find someone who shares interests in experimenting with the same frameworks, techniques, and patterns that you do.

Here are some useful tools for working together:

Trello: A Project Management Tool

Hangouts: For screensharing and voice com

Cloud 9: For shared workspace

Project

Base: You must build an application that allows the user to:

• Vote on polls

• View poll results

• Create new polls

This project source must be hosted on github. From your github readme you should link to wherever you have the site live (github pages or Heroku).

This project is easily extended, some suggestions:

• Persistence (storing it on a server)

• Users

• Poll deletion

• IP validation

• Social Media Sharing

Current Groups:

arreche | tyrantwarship

chesham | forscale

jer | nate

peeanut | xapax | danieljoonlee

daniel | iamhating

thru_astraw | offtopictoomuch

roselpadilla | kassuro

rangicus | scott

Post below if you are committing yourself to this project.

Best of luck. And remember HAVE FUN!

Solo Project One [Quiz App]

The goal of this project is to become accustomed to the tools we will be using going forward while also getting experience with building a simple web application. The project should also has plenty of opportunities for experimentation for those who are more experienced with web development.

The complete this project you need only finish the requirements in the base paragraph. The project will last two weeks and we will post our final results by August 18th.

If you are feeling frustrated and need some help hop into chat and we can lend a hand. Everything is going to feel like black magic right up to the point that it doesn't.

Don't give up.

Base: You must build a quiz application that tallies a users answers and provides a score at the end to the user. This application code must be visible on github and hosted on Heroku or GitHub pages.

There are many ways to extend this project further. Here are a few:

-Users

-Multiple Quizes

-Pagination

-Animation

-Client side validation

-Testing

-Exporting Users/Quiz data persistence to a backend through REST

Learn git/github:

Use github pages hosting (requires 0 backend experience):

Learn Heroku (some node/express knowledge required):

Post below if you will be doing this project. And don't forget...

Have fun!:)

I think it would make this experience for all of us a lot smoother if we gathered everyone's schedules, availability and time-zones.

Since we will be working together on group projects and collaborating frequently, it would help if we work with each other's schedules and if some of us are in the same time-zone even better! Also, depending on your level of determination/passion (which I'm sure is high, since you're here.), please feel free to add a goal to let each other know the direction you want to head in. Let's all help each other move forward!

Please, post your schedules/availability/time-zones/experience here!

I will add mine to this post:

• Time-zone: PDT California, USA

• Schedule/Availability: Work part-time at Starbucks, work schedule varies. But I am available for most of the morning through afternoons in my time-zone. 8:30/9AM PDT - 5PM PDT

• Goal: To become a front end web developer and work at a design/development firm in said position.

• Experience: Little to none. Just started learning JavaScript last month, coming from a background in Graphic Design.

Howdy all,

Howdy all and welcome.

My plan going forward is to have a group for a range of people with between 0-2 years of experience with javascript to learn how to develop or develop better. Introduce yourself here and tell us what your current level of experience is and if there is something specific you are interested in learning and working on.

I currently am a few months in to working professionally as a js developer with the MEAN stack so I'll be around to nudge everyone in the right direction (and highly welcome nudging back, I am no expert).

Some of the things I also think might be useful to cover is how to use certain remote tools such as Github, Slack, and Trello to enhance your development workflow in a team setting.

I plan on starting to fill up the sidebar with some information sometime tonight.

Hop into our channel at https://gitter.im/jephillips/jstogether to talk about the group and chat

Hey all,

We are trying to come up with some ideas for initial projects. Ideally I think the best first step would be to do one or more projects that we work on individually and compare along the way. This will also give us a chance to get used to workflows using git/github (so we can share our code) and potentially hosting through something like Heroku (so we can demo to one another).

What are you ideas for a first project? The defaults would be either a simple chat application or a to-do app, if that sounds fine then chime in. If not, then offer a suggestion :)

So how is everybody doing? Activity seems a bit lower compared to the previous week.
