New Hires 🎉

Big congratulations to all the Scrimba students who’ve landed jobs this week! 🥳 🎉

Sachin's I Got Hired Story - I wanted to share some wonderful news with you - I start my scrimba's front end journey from late october and now I have landed my first tech job as an Front-End React Developer at Product based Startup. I am overjoyed and grateful for this opportunity to start my career in a field that I am passionate about. None of this would have been possible without encouragement and guidance From providing me with the resources to pursue my interests to offering words of encouragement when I needed it most, scrimba have always been there for me. I even got my first feature a MultiStep Form to build using redux and mui(which I'm learning while working). I am excited to use the skills and knowledge that I have gained through my education and experiences to make a positive impact in the tech industry. I know that this is just the beginning of an exciting journey, and I am thrilled to see where it takes me. A heartfelt thank you to All the Teachers and special thanks to Bob from Scrimba for creating such amazing and easy to understand react resource , I couldn't have made it this far without you guys. — We are immensely proud! Keep it up , Sachin!

I Built This 🛠️

Let’s highlight some of the work that our Scrimba community members have completed!

I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible achievement of Ronald and his recent project: Lyrical Genius. Ronald’s dedication to learning and honing his skills has led to the creation of a remarkable website that provides song lyric information through the use of two APIs. This is an outstanding example of how self-directed learning and hard work can lead to amazing accomplishments. Ronald’s project not only showcases his technical expertise but also his creativity and problem-solving skills. It’s inspiring to see someone take the initiative to create something useful and valuable to others, and I have no doubt that this project will serve as an inspiration to many. Congratulations, Ronald, on your impressive achievement!

Fab Resource 📚

Just like we showcased with Grid Layout last week, we also have a Flexbox cheatsheet! Here are all the tips and tricks to help you master the art of flexbox!

Just like the Grid Layout resource, you get a cute illustration demonstrating how it compiles, AND you can still click the image to copy that code snippet to your keyboard!

Scrimba Podcast 🎙️

Meet Emre Albayrak 🇹🇷! Emre is a classical pianist from Turkey who decided to change careers, so he trained as a pilot! But then, the pandemic hit. Looking for something else to do (yet again), Emre discovered coding, tried it, and realized he enjoyed it! Only a year after starting to learn to code, Emre landed a job at an international IT company.

In this episode, Emre talks about his long and winding but also efficient path to becoming a developer. You’ll hear how he learned to code, what resources he used, and how he approached his portfolio projects and job applications! You will probably learn something about keeping up your motivation and managing stage fright before your interviews.
