Free “How To” Episodes Now Available!

June 5^th, 2015|Comments|Permalink

Our How To channel has launched! Every Friday will see the release of a new episode.

The How To channel is FREE! For at least the next month, each new episode will be free. Watch our first episode today and check back every Friday for a new episode! New episodes are listed on the home page under the “Latest Specials” headline.

The How To channel is a bridge for people who have learned the fundamentals of programming but aren't yet experienced professionals. In the series, we explore professional programming techniques as we build a simple JavaScript application from scratch. Topics include:

Version control
Reproducible builds
Static code analysis (linting)
Cross-browser testing
JavaScript modules
Test-driven development (of course!)
The Document Object Model
Design and refactoring

Today’s episode: Gather Your Tools. We introduce the new channel, then set up our four core tools: a code editor, Node.js, git, and the command line.

I’m James Shore, host of Let’s Code: Test-Driven JavaScript, a screencast series focused on rigorous & professional web development. If you liked this essay, share the URL! You can find more of my writing at jamesshore.com.
