What do you guys think of Flutter and AngularDart, for developing for Android/IOS and web, sharing a common code base?

Guess I started with WordPress, copying small snippets of code I never really understood and pasting them wherever, in order to try and solve the many issues I faced while working on my first ever website.

I later tried to learn bootstrap and js for more control over the look of my page, failed miserably.

About three years ago I started learning Java and now I'm an android developer, who btw can also fucking finally create a working, maintainable website from scratch.

When you properly comment your code.

Starting to do some work in the front end. I find it incredibly stupid that something like centering in CSS is so darn complicated that someone had to make an online tool for it. It's pretty awesome btw: http://howtocenterincss.com

Something happened

Three years ago, tried to learn some JavaScript, failed miserably. Two years ago, managed to learn some Java through Udacity courses. Last year I started learning native Android development and got my first coding summer job. Now I'm back to learning JavaScript through Freecodecamp and that bitch ain't got shit on me no more!

What bothers me the most of writing something by hand is that I HAVE to look at what I'm writing. By the time I realise I'm not doing so in a straight line it's already way too late.

Me helping out a fellow Software engineering student:

Me: OK, now open program X.

He: * Opens the compressed file and runs it from there *

It takes a good two minutes for all of the resources to be extracted.

Me: * Gives more instructions *

Me: We are going to have to restart program X.

He: * Closes X and runs again from inside de .rar file *

Another two minutes.

Me: * stares *

Don't spend your time trying to learn everything you need to know by reading books or watching videos. Anything you don't use immediately you'll forget and it'll go to waste. Instead, learn the bare minimum required for getting started and make stuff! After writing some buggy spaghetti code that somehow works, you're ready to read/watch some more. Then rinse and repeat.

Not a rant, but a question: I'm currently learning to develop for the web through freecodecamp. They decided some time ago to change their curriculum from Angular to React, kinda moving away from the MEAN set of technologies. Now that Angular 2 is out and looking good, I'm not sure if I should stick to their curriculum or learn it in place of React. What do you guys think?

It's not always your fault, sometimes your code will be perfectly fine and shit still won't work because someone else fucked up. Be careful which libraries you choose to work with.
