Node.js: Redirecting to new page after an XML Delete request
I couldn’t think of a clearer way to title this post, other than describing the action I was trying to accomplish.  It took me 4 days to sort this out from hints I received online (Free Code Camp Gitter Help channel), the MDN Javascript documentation and a host of Stack Overflow questions. The project I am working on is the Free Code Camp Voting App project. it’s the first of the full-stack apps, I used MEEN (Mongo ,Express,  EJS (or your choice of binding script), Node). I first attempted this app 18 months ago, and failed miserably. Normally failure is an opportunity for learning, but it was so painfully c...

Free Code Camp ’ s Front End Certificate
I’ve been involved with Free Code Camp from nearly the beginning. I stumbled across an article by Quincy Larsen about how difficult it is teaching yourself to code. The thing that stood out to me was that he acknowledged how much time can be wasted, and progress stunted, but jumping from one tutorial to the next or one language to another without really learning the things you need to learn to becoming a well versed coder. I have been a programmer since the age of 12 when I first entered some game contests programming in Basic using an Apple ][e computer.  We didn’t own a computer then, save for some ancient I...

Learning D3 – essential skills for the Javascript Programmer
Recently I’ve been experimenting with and trying to learn the D3.js library in order to create ziplines and develop some relative expertise at Free Code Camp. D3 stands for Data Driven Documents. As a former cartographer and information graphic artist in the 90s, discovering the possibilities with D3 for browser based interactive applications is like Geraldo Rivera discovering Al Capone’s vault! (except he didn’t…) While it’s seemingly straightforward for those who have climbed the learning curve, “getting it” takes some experimentation, practice and intuition. Several reasonable t...
