• Career Transition at 31: How I Became a Front-End Developer

  However, a little research was enough to dispel that misconception. Yes, there was a technical aspect to programming, but most developers weren't doing complex calculations all the time. So, my preconceptions faded away and turned into great curiosity and interest. I started studying JavaScript, HTML, and CSS on YouTube and also studied on Codecademy platform. - Source: dev.to / about 20 hours ago

• Recommend a website to learn a programming language

  Codecademy.com makes use of a similar approach to the one you mentioned in order to teach JavaScript (and HTML and CSS), giving immediate feedback for the code you write on your browser (except that it uses the browser, as mentioned, instead of an IDE). Source: 11 months ago

• Going to a Bortle 2 area over the summer, how would the Milky Way look?

  You don't have to have a telescope, but you should at least take a set of binoculars and install the SkySafari app on your cell phone or tablet. Make certain to be familiar with the SkySafari on your mobile device because urban and suburban astronomers often become disoriented because dense star fields make dark skies look so different. I also keep a copy of Sky & Telescope's Sky Atlas with me as a hard copy... Source: about 1 year ago

• Hi guys, brand new to the sub and had a few questions

  Binoculars like these. And an app like this or this. Head out to dark skies if you can. Pro Tip: a bean bag makes a great binocular observing chair. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where can I learn quick astronomy, identifying constellations, identifying things in the night sky?

  As for apps, feel free to try out my app Nightshift if you're on Android. Other often recommended apps are SkySafari and Stellarium. Each app offers different features, so in the end it's a matter of personal preference or needs. Source: about 2 years ago

• Identifying when to view planets

  Stellarium as suggested gives you the opportunity to see which planets are above the horizon at any given time. If you want to to see what planets are visible in any given night without the need to scroll through the entire night, most astronomy apps like SkySafari have a 'Best of Tonight' feature that also lists the planets.

• Help with gso encoder kit

  This is the Encoder Kit, like this one here. You need to connect your encoders to another device, like Nexus II (which what I have) or Nexus DSC Pro. Nexus II has its own WiFi network, which you can connect to with your phone/tablet. Then you can use app like SkySafari on your phone/tablet to connect to your telescope/Nexus II, by doing this your telescope will be a "Push-To" not "Go-To". Source: over 2 years ago
