In this folder you and your classmates will write and share useful code snippets: Bash, Git HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, all of it. As you work through DeNepo you will notice that there's certain things you do often with code, instead of re-inventing the wheel you can share a snippet?
Why write your own snippets when there are already so many out there? Because explaining something helps you understand it. Explanations you read or watch online will often make sense as you follow along, but when you try to give the same explanation later you realize that you miss many small details. By re-writing your own snippets you will be forced to explain and understand the problem better than if you just copy-pasted someone else's code.
So don't be shy! Share all the helpful snippets you come across, big or small. Did someone already submit a snippet that does the same thing as yours? No problem! Having more than one way to do the same thing can be very helpful.
Everyone in your class is encouraged to contribute to this guide. There is a Snippets project board in your class repository that you can use to organize your issues, pull requests, and discussions. You don't need to write a development strategy or main plan, it's better to let this folder grow naturally as you explore JS.
No contribution is too small! The only rule is that everything you put everything you are doing on the Snippets project board. If you aren't comfortable writing your own snippets there's still a lot you can contribute. You can:
- help review Pull Requests
- contribute extra study references to an existing snippet
- fix spelling or grammar mistakes
We came from all over the world to learn together at DeNepo. In the same way, we all study together in english but have our own mother tongues. You are encouraged to study in any language you prefer as long as we come together and share our learning in english. Translating from english to your mother tongue can be a good way to study, and will definitely help others who are struggling with programming!
Contributions in all languages are welcome as long as you follow these file naming conventions:
- File names should always be written in english using the same name as the english file
- File extensions should show which language they are written in (except for english which is the default)
- Files cannot be translated until there is an english version, so that everyone can share this study guide
What does this look like?
