Restart!

Hi all,

After almost 1,5 years I decided to restart this blog. And not only to restart it, but rather start it in a new way with a new target!

First of all - the idea to restart it belongs to my wife and we will be writing articles together. Before I was writing articles that were more like a "gotchas" that I had, but now we want to focus this blog on a content that can be helpful for beginner developers. My wife did a bit of research and found that there are not so much of a content for them. Most of the articles are either too simple (write a hello world app) or just too strict (think of any todo app for any js framework). What we want to achieve is to provide people with a nice set of examples and small tasks that are closer to a real world (hopefully) and are more open for a change.

To do this we want to follow a certain pattern with blog articles. Each post will be either a task or an example app (and maybe, sometime other gotchas from me...). With tasks we will have a requirement and will outline a possible solution with a plenty of links to other resources with a lot of theory. That way developers that follow us will be able to build a project for each task and then compare it with what we build for the same task. Our solutions will be stored on git (e.g. https://github.com/ESKoptelova/codeexample-calculator).

We want to have our tasks to be aligned with a real world programming problems, so beginners might be able to solve the problem and put the code to their own git repository and use it as an example of their code for job applications.

I hope this works :)
