    Is it possible to switch into a career in web development from being self taught?

    I quit cold turkey from another career and did the all-in deep dive, which is scary as hell but definitely the best and fastest way to learn. There's something to be said for hunger and desperation when you really need to accomplish something big. The nights and weekends thing sounds good in...

    Is it possible to switch into a career in web development from being self taught?

    My path was HTML > ColdFusion > MySQL > PHP > CSS > JS > Flexbox I'm currently learning Vue.js now. ColdFusion was a server-side language that is no longer relevant today. That's why PHP replaced it in my learning path. I started this website over 20 years ago, so most of my learning has been...

    Is it possible to switch into a career in web development from being self taught?

    It's all been self-study for me. The technology changes so fast that traditional universities just haven't been able to keep their curriculums up to date. It's for that reason that we've seen so many new training companies offering online courses for all these newer languages, frameworks and...

    Is it possible to switch into a career in web development from being self taught?

    If you master Javascript, HTML, CSS, MySQL, and either PHP or a framework like React, Vue, or Angular, I find it hard to believe that you would have trouble finding work. There's just so much work to do it's ridiculous.

    Changing that number for the thread list on the homepage isn't an option on an individual user basis. But when you visit any particular forum... let's take the Trading forum for example, the threads that are brand new or that have had new posts since your last visit will have their thread...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    As of the last scan it was 12.9% and the game plan is to get it measured again on Saturday, March 23rd to see where I stand. I will need to come in at 11.5% or lower to be considered on track. Anything higher than that will be totally unacceptable and will require a major adjustment on my part.

    Brief high intensity bodyweight workout at home without equipment

    Think of it like this. The deeper you dive into the ocean, the more pressure there is on you due to the mass and weight of the water that surrounds you. Likewise, the more mass that surrounds your blood vessels, the more pressure there is to compress or smash down on those vessels, which means...

    They've both been average I would say. Some days better than others.

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    So here's a little progress pic today. I've got a long way to go but things are slowly tuning in. Lately I've been feeling incredibly weak and I haven't been able to get a decent pump at the gym at all. Just an overall very flat feeling. Unfortunately, that's the side effect of a low carb...

    Brief high intensity bodyweight workout at home without equipment

    No. The circulatory system is real-time and is therefore constantly adjusting based on a lot of factors. That's why you can take your blood pressure a half-dozen times per day and get a different reading every time. However, one of the long term benefits of exercise is that it helps keep your...

    Brief high intensity bodyweight workout at home without equipment

    That's not a concern. What happened is that your blood vessels dilated (expanded) from the exercise to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. When blood vessels dilate, blood pressure goes down. Then your blood vessels slowly start constricting back to normal in that hour after the...

    NYC 2019 Expo

    Another reason why The Traders Expo has declined so much is because the organizers are very reluctant to spend any money online to advertise the show. For years, we were what they call a "Media Partner", which meant that they wouldn't actually pay us to advertise their show, but instead they...

    NYC 2019 Expo

    Tradestation got bought by a Japanese company years ago and has never been the same since IMO.

    NYC 2019 Expo

    The problem for vendors is that exhibiting at a physical event like The Traders Expo is very expensive compared to the new way of doing business online. It made more sense 15 - 20 years ago, when websites, collaboration tools and internet speeds weren't that great. But these days, for what it...

    Wow, eating that much looks like such a pain. He's putting down almost triple his daily maintenance calories.

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    I agree but just so things are crystal clear for everyone just coming into the game, let me just say this one thing: Nobody escapes the force of gravity. Every extra pound of fat that you have on your body is literally one more pound of gravitational pull downward onto your joints. Your...
