Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

JavaScript 101

Welcome to my JavaScript 101 test platform. This tutorial is designed to quiz you on the basics of JavaScript while familiarizing yourself with using the command line for coding. To begin, the first 10 problems can be answered in format for declaring a variable. In other words, if the question is - what color is the sky, your answer would be var blue;. Make sure that you use correct syntax (camelCase, ; use etc.) or the solution will not pass. In future lessons, the answers will increase in difficulty.

This workshop was built using Node.js using the NodeSchool workshopper platform.

So let's get you set up to run this tool.

Install Node.js

Make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.

Install it from nodejs.org/download

On Windows and using v4 or v5 of Node.js? Make sure you are using at least 5.1.0, which provides a fix for a bug on Windows where you can't choose items in the menu.

Install JavaScript-101 with npm

Open your terminal and run this command:

npm install --global javascripting

The --global option installs this module globally so that you can run it as a command in your terminal.

Having issues with installation?

If you get an EACCESS error, the simplest way to fix this is to rerun the command, prefixed with sudo:

sudo npm install --global JavaScript-101

You can also fix the permissions so that you don't have to use sudo. Take a look at this npm documentation: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

Run the workshop

Open your terminal and run the following command:

JavaScript-101

You'll see the welcome menu:

Navigate the menu with the up & down arrow keys.

Choose a challenge by hitting enter.

You can use any editor you like.

atom or brackets are both good options.
