#Introduction time! Let's call it dragfyre 101.
I'm a (front-end) web dev, educator, blogger, dad, husband, Baha'i, and world citizen. I have deep thoughts about human nature and character, virtue #ethics, cooperation, #culture, #spirituality, #language, #education & #learning, #UX, #AI, #HCI, #Internet, and the interaction of all of the above. Google me and you'll find me on Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Wikipedia, etc. I try to do the right thing. No politics or drama plz, and keep it SFW kthx.

@dragfyre I prefer vanilla javascript on top of HTML5 with CSS3. For productivity I have created my own cross-browser polyfill library.

@noorul @dragfyre Please allow me to suggest #Clojure.
Why Clojure? - https://clojure.org/about/rationale
Have a try at clojure http://clojurescriptkoans.com/
Comprehensive nutshell -
https://yogthos.github.io/ClojureDistilled.html
Clojure is used by small dev teams to develop and deploy applications at lightning speeds which are performant and scalable (#JVM). It also has access to the entire #Java ecosystem.

Let's start with HTML5, CSS3, minimal Javacript/ Jquery,
Postgresql/ Sqlite,
Python/Django, for moderator scale and performance project,
Nodejs is fine for small apps.

To be honest though, I've been rolling a project idea around in my head ever since I started learning more about the #fediverse. And it's a project that I'd actually find really useful, too. Maybe with a little effort...?
Ideas are dangerous sometimes.
Especially when you get an awesome idea and you know you really have zero time to work on making it happen. 😅

Wrote up a small thing on patreon about the thought processes for drawing on red pockets for Capsule Corner's Lucky 88 🧧 Art Show (in LA) and for the new year, my favourite festivities ^q^ 🏮
Syllabuses or syllabi?
