I'm always looking to expand my knowledge of CS fundamentals, JavaScript and best software engineering practices.

I have several Github repos bookmarked that I find super useful and have learned a ton from...

online CS courses: https://github.com/prakhar1989/awesome-courses

frontend related case studies: https://github.com/andrew--r/frontend-case-studies

cloning Medium.com with with different frontend + backends: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

literally a CS university online: https://github.com/jwasham/coding-interview-university

How about you?

I had a friend visiting from Dubai and he was talking about the economic growth there which got me thinking how big and growing is the tech scene over there?

Are there any well known tech companies or startups that have offices there? Is there any major development work done there or is it sent offshore to countries like India?

Thanks!

Hi,

Long story short, I keep getting the run around from a freelance web development client and sometimes no response at all as to why my last invoice bill still has not been paid. Originally when we started working together we didn't sign any contractual agreement, just word of mouth and then I sent an invoice every month for billed work. I did get paid for a few months but then after that things went silent.

So what are my options now? I'd just like to get paid without having to pursue any sort of legal actions and put this behind me. But if legal action is needed what do I need to do?

Assuming several years of experience at a startup with series c or d funding, what can one expect?

Hi,

I've been given a $2K budget from my employer to spend on training, books and/or conferences. I currently do Web Development (mostly front-end) and was looking for suggestions on what to spend it on.

My long-term goal is to work for Microsoft or Google and wanted to learn more about the fundamentals of algorithms and data structures. But I wouldn't mind to learn more about whats coming around the corner in the world of front-end development since things are changing and advancing so fast.

Thanks in advance!
