My first Laravel course!
Building a clone of a real-world app helps you figure out how to solve common development challenges.
So in this course, @beaucarnes walks you though building a full-stack Instagram clone with Laravel & MongoDB.
You'll configure your tools to work together, set up user authentication & profiles, handle images, and lots more.

I finished a half marathon yesterday in under two hours. Not my best time but I'm still happy with it. It included stopping for about two minutes to talk to my kids who came out to watch. 😀

This has got to be the longest tutorial on YouTube by a wide margin. Let me know if you find a longer one. :)
AWS Cloud Project Bootcamp is now on @freeCodeCamp
It took months to get it uploaded because it's the longest course ever published to freeCodeCamp.
@beaucarnes worked really hard to package it.
100 hours+ and so the timecode shows it as 4 days 😂

The trifecta is complete. I now have full courses on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
HTML is one of the building blocks of the web.
It's like the bones in your body or the foundation of a house - it gives structure to your code.
In this course @beaucarnes will teach you HTML for beginners so you can get started building.

I made a web app to track my kids’ allowance. Each week, money is added to their account. When they want something, I pay for it and subtract it from their balance. They can check their balance and history anytime. I use it constantly and it’s ready for others too.
Wonder if other parents would find it useful?

It was great to finally be featured on the freeCodeCamp.org YouTube channel. 😀
Imagine this: you have young kids. You're working as a special ed teacher. And you need to finish your second degree in just 6 months if you want the gov to pay for it.
That's what @beaucarnes did in 2017. And I just interviewed him about it (1 hr watch) freecodecamp.org/news/podcas…

I just acquired poweredbyai.app. It is an AI tool directory. 🎉
I've been very interested in all the new AI tools coming out and frequently use AI tools for various projects.
I'm excited to share what I learn on that site and through the PoweredbyAI newsletter. So if you want to stay up-to-date on the newest AI tools, check out the website.
What will set the site apart from similar sites is the core focus on curated tools for software developers and builders. And for many of the top AI tools, I'll embed video tutorials from my personal YouTube channel.
I'm grateful to @s_chiriac for all the work he put into building the site.

I've found that most people in general do not initiate spending time with others. What's helped me make friends is being the person who initiates. Someone I know who has a lot of authentic friendships used to host a weekly party at his house. There was an open invitation for anyone to stop by Friday evening and hang out. And that also helped others make friends. Having regularly scheduled events with the same people has been very helpful for me.
