Developer Tea

Today, I talk about teaching in order to learn. This isn't reserved to just those in or going through school, but anyone who has learned a skill. There aren't many excuses for you not teaching what you know. This is especially important for developers, where languages, functions, and working knowledge changes on a dime. During this episode I'll talk about when to start teaching, how to start teaching, and three benefits of teaching. If you have any questions, feedback or topics you'd like me to discuss, you can reach me via email at: developertea@gmail.com or on twitter @DeveloperTea. Thank you so much for listening, Enjoy your tea.

On today's episode, I discuss the importance of forming an informed opinion by disecting two questions in github's Front-End Developer Interview Questions repository. Employers want to know how you approach situations and your opinion on topics in the industry. To illustrate that, I answer two questions from github's Front-End Developer Interview Questions repository: What's the difference between call and apply? If you have five separate style sheets, how would you add them into your site? Front-End Development is ever changing, and my answers are subject to change, as you'll find with most topics in the field. An informed opinion will keep potential employers engaged, and help both of you understand an eachothers stance on a subject or problem that needs solving.
