Hello there! Today we want to talk about 7 concepts every developer should know. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious beginner just starting, creating outstanding websites needs more than just stunning animations and interesting effects. It all comes down to a solid basis in important concepts. 1. The Big Three: HTML, CSS & JavaScript - they give you possibility to make a good code with a separate logic where each element is on his place. 2. Responsive Web Design. Responsive design guarantees that your website works effortlessly on any device, especially PCs, tablets, and smartphones. 3. Version control with Git. It tracks changes to your code, allowing you to restore to previous versions and interact with others smoothly. 4. HTTP/HTTPS & APIs. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is the secure version of HTTP, which encrypts data transport to safeguard your website and user information. Always use HTTPS to ensure security. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are similar to waiters at a restaurant. They accept your request (such as collecting user data) and deliver the information you want from another system. Understanding APIs is essential for creating interactive web apps. 5. Basic SEO. Do you want your website to be the first thing visitors see when searching for something? Basic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can help! Meta Tags: These are hidden messages for search engines that include information about your website’s content. Keywords: These are the terms that people are likely to look for. Use relevant keywords strategically throughout your website’s content. Website Performance Optimization: A slow website is a sad one. Optimize your website’s image size and code structure for faster loading, which benefits both search engines and visitors. 6. Web accessibility. Web accessibility means that persons with disabilities can get to and use your website. 7. Performance optimization. No one loves a slow website. Optimize your website’s speed by reducing HTTP requests (the number of times it asks the server for something), adding caching (storing frequently used items locally), and optimizing images for more quickly loading. By learning these basic concepts, you will not only boost your skills and efficacy as a web developer but also put down a foundation for future growth and success in the ever-changing world of web development. #karmadev #KarmaDev #company #companynews #development #talks

What do you need for best JS project creating? We prepared a few advices 😉 First of all you need scalable project structure. Having a well organized project structure is super important for the scalability and maintainability of any codebase. By structuring the project folders and files logically, developers can easily locate and modify specific components, services, or any other files. Typescript. TypeScript serves as a superset of JavaScript, offering optional static type-checking along with the latest ECMAScript features. By incorporating types into your JavaScript code, TypeScript allows you to catch errors more effectively and write more maintainable and robust code, perfect for large-scale projects. Structured styling with SASS modules and global variables. SASS modules allow for encapsulated styling, making it easier to manage stylesheets by keeping styles scoped to individual components. Global variables streamline the process of defining and reusing common styles across your project, promoting consistency in your styles. With SASS modules and global variables, you can maintain clean and organized styles. Route guarding. Route guarding allows us to protect certain routes within our application, ensuring that only authenticated users can access private routes and endpoints. Route guarding is implemented using a middleware approach. By intercepting requests, the middleware verifies the user’s authentication status before allowing access. #KarmaDev #karmadev #talks #company #companynews #development

Hi all! Today we prepared short read about 7 essential libraries for React development. Let's start! 1. Axios. It is a simple promise based HTTP client for the browser and node.js. Axios provides a simple-to-use library in a small package with a very extensible interface. 2. Formik. It is a free, open-source library that helps build and process form data in React applications. It provides a simple API and built-in validation, making it easy to collect and manipulate input data. 3. React Helmet. This library can be used to dynamically set the document’s title, description, and meta tags. This comes in very handy when you need to update the meta tags for SEO. 4. Redux. It is a JS library for predictable and maintainable global state management. 5. React Router Dom. This library is used for routing and managing navigation in web applications built using React. It simplifies the routing process by providing an API to define, navigate, and render routes. 6. React error boundaries. Error boundaries are React components that catch JavaScript errors anywhere in their child component tree, log those errors, and display a fallback UI instead of the component tree that crashed. 7. Styled-components. Styled-components is an open-source library that allows React and React Native developers to define UI components and styles in a single file location. It uses CSS in JavaScript (JS), which allows developers to write CSS code directly in the JavaScript file. Type in comments which libraries you usually use in work with React 😉 #KarmaDev #karmadev #talks #company #companynews #development #react

Hi there! Today we want to talk about CTO and his role in the company 😉 A chief technical officer makes all decisions related to a company's technology. That includes the integration and deployment of new technology, systems management and the overseeing of technical operations personnel. They also work with outside vendors to ensure they meet customer service expectations. A CTO may be responsible for: - leading technology teams, offering guidance and supervising the managers for different departments; - setting performance goals for the managers of technology teams; - outlining and implementing goals for the company's research and development department; - outlining and implementing goals for the company's research and development department; - monitoring the management of all databases, hardware and software and projecting the company's future technology needs; - defining strategies for technology and ensuring processes meet the requirements for privacy and security; - communicating the company's technology strategy to executives and other key stakeholders; - monitoring current trends in technology and using this knowledge to improve their own company's approach to technology; - evaluating an organization's current infrastructure and technology and implementing new systems to improve it as necessary. According to points above, we understand that CTO should have a lot of technical and communication skills. Having as much diverse experience as possible (or at least experience working with as many tech departments as possible) is a huge asset, as CTO need to be familiar with all technology roles in a company.  In some cases, Chief Technology Officers may develop their own companies. They’ll deliver “Chief Technology Officer as a service,” meaning companies can pay them as consultants. This may be more cost-effective for smaller companies that need the expertise of a CTO but don’t need someone on the payroll full-time.  To summarize our post, we can admit that CTO play a vital part in the organizations they work for and can directly impact a business’s processes and progress toward goals. That’s an exciting role to participate in, so it’s worth working towards.  #KarmaDev #company #company_news #talks #CTO #team #IT #programming

A little bit late this week, but we are here with weekly post! Let's talk about CRM systems today. How to choose the best one and make your work comfortable independs on the area of work. There’s no doubt about it – a good CRM system is a must-have for any growing business. There comes a time when managing your customer database through hundreds of spreadsheets, hopping from one document or system to another to find lead or customer data, or navigating among sales opportunities by checking scribbles on Post-it notes is no longer an option. Firstly, you need to ask yourself a few questions: 1. What are the most inefficient processes in your business, and what do you want to improve with a CRM system? 2. What operational process and workflows you lack and need to add? 3. Who in your company is going to use CRM? How many users do you need? 4. What other software do you want to integrate with a CRM system? 5. What is budget? After you’ve done these initial points and know why you need a CRM, the next step is to narrow down what you want in a CRM. 1. Decide on CRM deployment: Cloud vs. On-premise. 2. Know what features and functionality you need. 3. Make sure the system integrates with other applications that you need. 4. Choose an industry-specific vendor. 5. Check if CRM customisation is available and pay attention to user experience. We are sure that following these points is the best way to find perfect CRM for your business. But dont forget that it’s also easy to get caught up in all the wonderful things that CRM can do for your business, but be cautious. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a CRM is to keep it simple. 😉 #KarmaDev #talks #company #CRM #programming #workprocess #development #it #itcompany #itservices

Hi there! Let's talk about startups in this weekly post 😉 Forbes magazine suggested 35 steps to create a successful startup. You can check all these steps by visiting link https://lnkd.in/dUeAA4tA But we want to concentrate on a few concrete points and discuss them. Focus on building a great product—but don’t take forever to launch. "When starting out, your product or service has to be at least good if not great. It must be differentiated in some meaningful and important way from the offerings of your competition." Sounds not very complicated but what if we are talking about web development? In the modern world becomes harder to create product which will be absolute unique and in mane cases the point is really about creating product which will be just better than competitor's product. Thus, we often find very similar products with minimal differences in functionality. Startups often fail because of this approach. Therefore, before you sit down to create a new product, you really need to make sure that it has fundamental differences that your competitors can't repeat. Understand financial statements and budgets. "It’s important to keep on top of your expenses and learn how to thoroughly understand financial statements and budgeting. Many startups fail because the entrepreneur isn’t able to adjust their spending to avoid running out of cash. Establishing a detailed, month-by-month budget is crucial, and this budget must be reviewed regularly." Also important to understand how much income can a startup bring, because even with the support of investors, without a clear financial plan, the project can fail. Make sure someone hasn’t already invented your great new idea. There are a few different instruments to manage this question but the point is that startup creator should understand that in the modern world, his idea can quickly come to someone else's mind and it’s not worth delaying with “minimum viable product” (MVP). Get Comfortable With Public Speaking. What can be easier? But it's not true. Even the best startup idea can fail if you can't present your project. It's quite important to be communicable, open and trustworthy. Even if you are not naturally an extrovert, you need to show confidence. Type in comments, which point in startup's creating is most important in your opinion 😎 #KarmaDev

We decided to make new posts each week. Right now we are thinking about interesting topics, so let us start from something not very complicated 😄 Office or work at home? The last few years changed the lives of all ukrainians and in Ukraine home office became more than popular. But is it enough practical in case when we are talking about junior positions? In Europe it is very popular to work in offices even not in IT industry, such practice make a lot proceses more controllable. When the junior developer starts his work in a new company from other city or even a country, for example, his way can be much more complicated because work connection also becomes more complicated. Does it mean that skills level for junior positions became higher? Our team has one junior developer and after a few months of work we came to the conclusion that possbility to have live communication during the day makes development for junior faster and more understandable. At the same time developers with work experience more than year prefer to have a home office and feel themselves more comfortable. Type into comments which work format do you prefer and what makes your work process more comfortable 😉 #KarmaDev #karmadev #company #companynews #development #workprocess #talks #it #itcompany #itservices

This is remind that we are still here 😄 Started to work with new project. Creating a product which should make work for some business types a little bit easier 😉 #KarmaDev #karmadev #company #companynews #development #projects #startup
