I’ve been studying VR a lot lately, and all I can think about is learning web development from Brian. I could take this time off but I really want to dig deeper in my understanding of things I don’t know about and that’s a lot of things.

There’s an open source github project built by Brian Holt, and in this intro, Brian reviews “Introduction to Web Development” course agenda. Here he offers this link, bit.ly/intro-web-dev. I enjoy learning from others, and blogging about what I learn as a form of learning.

Keep watching you will see there’s passion here. I’m glad to be taking this course from Brian Holt. If you look here at his twitter, you can already see there’s a wealth of knowledge to learn from Brian and Brian alone. My best mate told me this is the direction to start based on the direction I want to go.

Ideally the next few days/months/forever I will be focused on learning full stack engineering and digging more into two open source projects I’m working on with my mates. One is a web application that does task scheduling, we call it canopys.io… here you can read about it on Yahoo Finance. In beta we have a visualization product and data hub, next is a python web app that was built by a mentor. I don’t know if I can name this mentor right now, I’ll ask later today.

The python web app, imo, feels like (extract transform load, also called data warehousing i some instances) in 2030 based on the first demo I got. Eager to dig into this one in the public light too.

Back to Brian Holt…

“I love to teach. It’s a challenging task that forces you to peel back all the knowledge you’ve gained.”
– Brian Holt

If I was to read this without this course being recommended, I may reconsider, I don’t like learning from teachers, or trainers. I prefer learning from people who are deep in their professional career and imho – much older than me or someone close to same age. It’s not to say they don’t know tech in younger generations, I’m merely saying if internet was already existing when you were born, then you’re behind the older people I’m talking about and always will be and there’s no way around that because that’s how time and experiences work. I view experiences are greater than time, and Brian has a lot of time, experiences, and I’ll be first to say something is bad, but this isn’t bad. I hope you open this book with me. Brian is really beyond a trainer and has been crushing in this realm long enough that it’s important to get this one under thy belt immediately and tell others too. It’s better to do these in a group.

He’s open, transparent, and explains why he’s doing this because it’s all open source. You can’t beat open source and honesty, with some incentive to make it good, you have yourself a solid course. (which is recommended by my best friend, who I view to be the best full stack engineer in texas, maybe he isn’t, but imho he is and that’s why I hire him first when I’m in need of a full stack engineer, in process of hiring him I’ve learned that there’s a depth to him that goes beyond being a wizard, more on him later)

I was really pumped up after reading more and hearing him talk, finding his twitter. Gave him a shout out, to which he replied…


Damn i need a shirt of this one. That would be rad. i’ll do it when i complete the course.yee.

Brian suggests, “You should be able to skip lessons you know. However the review can be helpful.” For me, I want to build a foundation of skills and anything I can do to learn from the vocabulary of someone like Brian, is a good opportunity.

If you want to start this course with me, please be sure to get a twitter, add me https://twitter.com/itylergarrett and add a post with @itylergarrett to tell me you’re starting this bootcamp zero to hero lets kick some ass in the full stack engineering realm of the world kind of thing this sentence could have ended sooner.

I will follow you and help you on this journey. 214-971-9869, we got this mate, and you now have my personal cellphone number for whenever you get lost. We can chat there, and figure out a time to zoom. If this is uncomfortable, imagine how I feel right now lol.

That’s the goal with a lot of this writing for me personally is to keep moving it more towards live generation of content, and also live generation of learning content while I’m learning. More to come on this topic.

Thanks for reading, best, T.
