Learning JavaScript 6

I am going to be using JavaScript 6 (ECMAScript 6) for my new project codename Bird.

One of the things I thought was interesting with ES6 is it’s new shorthand for defining a method (function) onto an object literal.

var person = {
    name: "Nicholas",
    sayName() {
        console.log(this.name);
    }
};

That will be equivalent to:

var person = {
    name: "Nicholas",
    sayName: function() {
        console.log(this.name);
    }
};

Freelancer equals Freedom?

True developers create art with their code. They aren’t just happy with function. They want beautiful source. The code must be as beautiful as the front.

Art springs from a solid foundation. If you are concern with not having enough food to eat, your art will suffer.

Freelancing gives you the freedom of time, but also the stress of doing everything yourself. Surely if someone else takes care of the logistics and administrative tasks, it’ll free you up to create your art.

Toptal React.js Engineers Community seems like a great group of guys to work with. Work with talented artists, and focus on writing solid code and making beautiful works of art.

Microsoft’s new strategy

Seems like Microsoft’s new mobile strategy is “a computer in every hand running Microsoft software”

They launched an Android app launcher, heard it wasn’t so great but Microsoft of old, version 2.0 will surely be better. 

I’m sure they’ll get into business apps as well. 

I can imagine them having lots of quality apps for Android and iOS . Goal being to parlay into their own OS and phone.  

Seems like things are on the upswing for them.
