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.

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

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 intruder, but it is a step. There are no devices associated with this new server; In an earlier lab (not shown), I attached them to 'H

Building, Breaking, and Building A CRM with Retool

 I like no- or low-code solutions to things. I've often wanted to simply push a button or move some GUI around and have the code implement itself.  I've thought about building something that's like a customer relationship management (CRM) system for keeping up with my network better than my little spreadsheet where I click links and then go like something. The general idea in this CRM Development is:  To have a GUI to add people to a NRM (Network Relationship Management).       Attach it to a database (MySQL is what I went with eventually using Amazon Relational Database service, but you can use PostGRES, and probably others).     Make sure components are connected to each other in the retool interface. This video is a good start. Watching the tutorial video, heard some SQL commands and went 'Oh no 😳" before going "Wait I know basic SQL", which is good, because you'll see.  When you get set up, there's a plethora of resources you can use -- Incl
