School for coders set to open
School for coders set to open
UCCI president Dr Stacy McAfee and CEC CEO Charlie Kirkconnell
(CNS Local Life): Cayman’s first immersive code academy is opening its doors with its goal to help teach people who want to pursue careers in technology to become programmers, developers and coders. Cayman Code Academy, established by Cayman Enterprise City (CEC) and the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI), is based on…

Node.js Debug
How to debug with node inspector! Step one: Do test driven development so you don’t have to. Ok, just kidding. Here is step one...Install node inspector from the command line using sudo npm install -g node-inspector.
The command to open your app is node-debug “app.js”. This will open a new chrome window and it will console log the local address of the debugging server.
And you are ready to go! Navigate your browser to that local address and the debugging window will be ready for you.
On the right you have all your scoped variables and call stack. You can also call expression to be watched in the top window. Something useful is you can live edit just like you can on a front end website and save to the file but this is not enabled by default in the configurations file. What I found very helpful is by clicking in the call stack you can restart current function instead of rebooting your program.
Code Fellows Week One
My first week at code fellows. We discussed in depth a semantic web. If you don’t know what the idea of a semantic web is, here is the dirty explanation: setting a standard way of doing things so everyone can communicate. Or, according to the W3C, "The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries". On face value this sounds like a great idea but as is with most “great idea!” implementation is murky at best.
In a world where technology and the way we make technology changes overnight, defining and setting standards can create the equivalent of a chained and shackled internet. As a result many javascript frameworks are ignoring semantics completely. This presents some problems such as accessibility, maintainability, and a fractured development base as developers are forced to pick technologies and a less navigable web for Web crawlers leading to poor SEO results. A potential solution for this is ARIA which has the effect of killing several birds with one stone.
ARIA or Accessible Rich Internet Applications is a way of making web applications that make use of undescriptive html markup descriptive of what the application actually is! Example below….
<ol role="tablist"> <li id="ch1Tab" role="tab"> <a href="#ch1Panel">Chapter 1</a> </li> <li id="ch2Tab" role="tab"> <a href="#ch2Panel">Chapter 2</a> </li> <li id="quizTab" role="tab"> <a href="#quizPanel">Quiz</a> </li> </ol> <div> <div id="ch1Panel" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="ch1Tab">Chapter 1 content goes here</div> <div id="ch2Panel" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="ch2Tab">Chapter 2 content goes here</div> <div id="quizPanel" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="quizTab">Quiz content goes here</div> </div>
Notice the role attribute. By defining an attribute with a role tag we are not just describing one tag but defining the relationship of multiple tags and defining association of page elements or widget. There is more good news...Angular has a simple ngAria module.
How I smashed into the world of programming
When looking from the outside, the glass that serperates you from what your looking at seems to be insubstantial. Then as you continue your understanding and developement there is that moment when you realize that pane of glass.
That glass is the seperation we ourselves need to either smash through or figure out how to get around. When I decided to join @codefellows, that day I set into motion the smashing of the glass.
Why is getting through this invisible yet susbstanial divider such a powerful thing for me? It allows complete “immersion” into the mind space and the realm of the programmer.
The difference is falling asleep tired as hell because you had to code that next step toward a better product. Awaking knowing there is at least 10-12 more hours today to push forward. Living code and creating a better experience.

Going online with Code - GitHub
Setting up a GitHub is part of my new journey of code development. I just submitted an assignment in JavaScript yesterday and now what I programmed is Public. This should feel no different then the many posts that we all throw up onto the internet daily, but somehow it does.
When submitting to GitHub it goes into an area where others can grab your code and try it out or even use it themselves. My advice to you if your reading this article, "Go for it!" Really, what do we have to lose. Plus putting your self out there will make you better, for fear of not putting out your very best!!
Codecademy is one of the very best ways I have found on the web that is free to start your journey to becoming a developer. My personal journey has been one that has significantly ramped up recently, due to joining Code Fellows.
What Codecademy offers:
a working environment to try coding
skills taught by experts in the field; all text based
free online training with achievements and tracking
a place to test your knowledge if you all ready code
a path that is more rigorous then the watch me videos out there
In the photos above I show the interface of Codecademy's user profile, paths, achievement tracking, and some of the working code I put in there myself. There is a great online community to help you when you get stuck!! It is definitely part of the process.
Try it out and if you start to love it, check out the link above to Code Fellows, they are popping up all over the country.
Code Fellows Day 1
Yesterday was the start of the Code Fellows iOS bootcamp, an 8 week intensive program dedicated to iOS/Objective-C development. I'll be posting more updates throughout the process.
Check them out! www.codefellows.org
