A Complete Beginner's Guide to React by Ali Spittel

 Why not learn a bit about React? Video here.

 Tech used:

  • React Hooks
  • Node.js
  • Programming fundamentals (HTML, CSS, Javascript)

 

Github repo. 

I added the nifty drop down menu. I learned about it on Twitter about 3 days ago.


 When I put in the first line of programming, the files were made and instantly opened in Visual Studio Code.

That was a real shocker - I have never seen that happen before!...And I think I know why. 

See that bit in the first line - 'code'? 

In the video, that's part of Ali's terminal and not something you type in 😅 That made my files open in VSCode, but empty without the necessary code within.

I took that out and the rest of the screenshot proceeded. It only took me 5 minutes to figure that out! 

I'm not here to outline her entire video - Go give her a view, it's very helpful - just going to point out some cool things I didn't know.

  • You can dictate rules for the bots scraping your app. 'Scraping' happens by search engine indexers as well.
  • There are a lot of different JavaScript files here. 
  • Divs in the html can be ID's to attach to Element IDs in the React script in the JS.

Making KPI Dashboards with PowerBI

 While this is the free tier, I cannot share or collaborate with others, nor can I publish content to other people's workspaces, but they will not stop me from screenshooting and recording these self-taught adventures,so! I'm doing this because I idly searched "Mattel careers" and "Information Technology", and seeing a bulletpoint saying the following: Analytical and reporting skills such as creating dashboards and establishing KPIs such as experience with PowerBI, Cognos, Tableau, and Google Data Lake/AWS is preferred And thought "Well, I've used Tableau, and I've heard about PowerBI,  even if its in-demandness is questionable , so how similar is it? And can I write about it?"  First, PowerBI (PIB) does have a downloadable, local version, but apparently Windows-only. I could download the .exe but I couldn't run it / drag it to applications on my MacBook.  Not a problem, we'll use the online SaaS version, and a dataset found here, ...

Connecting IoT Devices to a Registration Server (Packet Tracer, Cisco)

 If you're seeing this post, I'm helping you, and you probably have LI presence: React and share this post to help me in return.   In Packet Tracer, a demo software made by Cisco Systems. It certainly has changed a lot since 2016. It's almost an Olympic feat to even get started with it now, but it does look snazzy. This is for the new CCNA, that integrates, among other things, IoT and Automation, which I've worked on here before. Instructions here . I don't know if this is an aspect of "Let's make sure people are paying attention and not simply following blindly", or an oversight - The instructions indicate a Meraki Server, when a regular one is the working option here. I have to enable the IoT service on this server. Also, we assign the server an IPv4 address from a DHCP pool instead of giving it a static one. For something that handles our IoT business, perhaps that's safer; Getting a new IPv4 address every week or so is a minimal step against an...

AWS Infrastructure Composer

 A very brief look. The text says; Drag and drop any CloudFormation resource on a visual canvas Connect and configure enhanced components to automatically build IaC for an application architecture Seamlessly transition between authoring workflows visually with Step Functions Workflow Studio and defining resources with Infrastructure Composer Integrate your browser with your project through “local sync” or use Composer in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code In 2019 there was a similar tool to build infrastructure that would be converted to code. Nice to know they bought it back. When you enter the Composer, it's a blank space with a background reminiscent to the screen for Cloud Formation. Infrastructure Objects are to the left in a drawer;  I've selected a bucket that I can rename. I went to connect a bucket to a Dynamo DB Table, and it's not available yet. It also lost a bucket somewhere in the ether of the GUI. Ah well. I couldn't find the EC2 instance in the...
