CODE BLOG

For those who code or want to learn to code

Welcome to the Logicative Code Blog. I have been developing code now since I was 23 and I returned from working in South Africa. So for 4 years as of June 2016. Starting at a small agency in Somerset, I have taught myself the necessary skills that have got me to Red Hat where I work on OpenStack as a senior software engineer. I this blog I want to share with you web techniques, best practices and my experiences as I have gone along and continue to learn on my journey, because believe you me! I have a heck of a lot to learn.

As ever. If there are subjects you want me to focus on, disagreements you have, or any comments at all on these posts, please do comment and leave me a message. I am very open to different opinions and learning more myself and would love to hear how I can improve.

Introduction to ESLint

Aug 31, 2016 | OpenStack, Web Thoughts

Prior to the beginning of my time at HPE working on OpenStack, I have to admit I hadn't really heard of EsLint. Sure, I had used JSLint and JSHint in the past, and I had sort of accepted that JSHint was good enough for what I was using and focused my brain attention...
