What's going on guys, we're back with a special episode of the after hours podcast. It's a little different today.   So Harry How has your trading been recently and how are you kind of adapting to the overall market right now? Yeah, I think for me. I mean my trading's been pretty good Like I'm not gonna lie like I've like even though like a lot of people are saying like oh It's been a shitty market for long since been a shitty market in general, which I mean it has been but my trading's been pretty good as far as like the kind of like Adaptation of how it's been going like I've kind of noticed that in clean market. We haven't been getting that many runners. So I Mean, I've honestly been like sleeping in an extra hour or an extra two hours because I'm like There's no point in me sitting at the desk when there's no pre-market runners to even kind of want to get along on So I'll usually start kind of longing like looking near the open You know, if there's no hot chick I'm obviously gonna take a step back and kind of say to myself well, okay, like I'll wait till zombie I'll wait till we kind of get something that's worth wanting too long That's doing enough volume for me to kind of like for me to kind of like get a decent enough chart set up And then I'll look to kind of attack from there But I mean for me it's been pretty good the key for me and I've been getting questions from a lot of people who are longing, you know The key for me has just been being disciplined and not longing every single fucking goddamn thing that pops, you know because we get tons of pops and You know a lot of stuff A lot of stuff a lot of stuff right we got a stock that goes from like low a day to like Friggin like middle line and everyone's like man, this is gonna be the one this is gonna be the one and then it's stuffs And they're like, oh fuck, you know, so I think this might be The first like market cycle Where like because you know how usually like alex always says it's like we're due for a runner We're due for a runner we're due for a runner This might be the first market cycle where like a runner doesn't like spark things It might just slowly change back to like a movers market But like by now I feel like we would have had that like fuck you runner like that like yeah big like something But we just haven't gotten it yet and I think I don't know what it is and you we talked about this recently like All these stocks are just pushing volume like a little bit of volume and selling into the liquidity like everything has been like push And then a huge brick order will come through and it just stops it down and it's like As a long it's got to be tough for you, but one thing that's cool about you That I like and that a lot of other traders will like ask me about I don't know why they ask me but Like I feel like you have long setups that can pay you pretty much every day And I feel like as a long that's really really crucial and I think that's cool like how did you How did you even develop like those setups that you I mean, I don't see many days where you're like I'm not trading like at all. Yeah. So like you have the setups that make you money So how did you kind of develop those and like how'd you kind of end up there? Well, I mean for me, I'm not I've never really been a strict kind of setup guy I mean my setup is always going to be those day one gappers But I mean I just look at it, you know kind of I think to a point of view is where I was a short seller before And I really did enjoy shorting, but I found myself, you know A while back where I would get some really really good shorts on and they would pay me really really really well But I was like shit like I've always wanted to long that was the same thing with Austin Like Austin would get really really good shorts on like I remember like Alex would be like damn That was a sick short on like whatever hair you got to start shorting and I'm like now, bro Like I just I love longing like and I just always kind of have and but also another thing is that I have watched a fuck ton of tape You know and it's not even necessarily saying oh, we got this like, you know, whatever You know thousand share seller here. We got this thousand share or you know, you know Thousand share seller there or whatever It's really been for me just watching the price seeing how things react, you know looking at kind of like notable levels And just kind of using that to my advantage. I think that is what definitely has helped me out the most Um, also kind of the m-i-c process is you know, knowing what stocks to avoid that has definitely helped me as well And just kind of hearing things from you know, bouncing things off, especially in the main chat from like you tom everyone You know, we all are on the same page. I feel like every single morning And that's something that's definitely helped me a lot too Uh, so I mean as far as setups. I'm not really a setup guy, but um, I just pay attention to the price action and uh, you know That is all I kind of focus on, you know Yeah, I feel like for you, it's like then we've talked about some previous episodes like You know, I know the set like like you said, we won't even call them setups But I know the trades that you're going to take most of the time Yeah, and And I feel like you keep it really consistent and like for all the longs that are inconsistent in the room, they seem to be Taking inconsistent trades. I know and I think I think that's like That's the biggest struggle because I think for shorting especially like there's not too many setups Like there's like shorting into a resistance shorting into vwap or like, you know Shorting a breakdown of a key support But for longing like I feel like you could come up with so many different like Different trades like you could be like this is a vwap reclaim. This is a low a day Hold, this is like a high a day breakout.   Yeah, because like I remember like Probably like two or three years ago. Like, you know jack Kellogg Yeah, he was he's been an m. I see before like, I mean everyone Everyone is kind of like Ben and you know, I mean I was never Where'd you say? Yeah, I think a lot of people have been kind of in and out and um, you know, he he's he was a really good friend of mine and You know before when I when I you know was talking to him We we would always look for like kind of like these signals and like sometimes they were consistent Sometimes they weren't we were always keeping tight risk on them. We were like experimenting and learning and then I think I kind of said to myself like What if I just say fuck it and just take those trades where I know I'm going to be right And I I kind of followed that intuition because I was talking to a long trader today And he's like, I knew I was too early, but I still took the trade or I knew I was You know, not in the right frame of mind and I still took the trade and for me It's always been about maybe that third test of the level You know, that's going to break eventually, right?  You know, how would I get that kind of rookie short on? That's helped me tremendously Like because you know that as a short seller your whole kind of mantra is just saying to yourself Well, these stocks have got to go down. They've got to go down. They've got to go down They've got to go down and then when they don't go down And they start to grind against you. You're like, well, I can't stop out here I can't stop out here and we finally go para And when we go para and we get those big kind of candles that scare people out I'm like, okay. Well selling here and uh, that's I've always kind of really done it, you know Yeah, I think the coolest thing too like You actually like I hate these questions that I get that are like, how do you know when to get in and get out? And it's like I think using a long bias trader is actually like easier because again, it's like There is a point technically we talked this last time like the last episode as a long It's like kind of weird because technically the stock can go to a hundred. Yeah But like the reality is as a smart day trader and as an educated day trader You know That you're always better to sell into resistance or sell into a key level or whatever And I I feel like that's like a talent you have is that like I never see you really Hold for like way longer than you should you know what I mean like you always like You get out when you're supposed to get out and it's not like you have a superpower It's like I feel like you're just selling at resistance. You're getting like you're getting in the trade You're taking your move and then you get the hell out. Yeah, and that's what leads to you as a Being a consistent long trader.   I'm not as aggressive on monday's just always has been But on cei when they kind of popped it up They they pop it up to like 340 bring it back down to like 320 310 three dollars And then they start grinding and grinding grinding up like as a short I knew every single short seller and m ic was interested in that and when that started to kind of go the other way That could have maybe been a good opportunity You know, I mean alex nailed and bailed everyone nailed and bailed it But the people who hang on for those kind of like home run trades and like fader trades like those are the people who get crushed Like those are the people who I probably Well, I would today I was almost one of those guys because like I didn't hold on to it per se But like I got in at like 340 350 Yeah, and like the problem was like that was my line You know, this is annoying and it pissed me off for it. It's put me in a bad mood because like lately I've had this feeling of like actually making good money, but yeah, I always feel this like underperformance feeling Yeah, and it's like no matter what so like today like 350 340 360 was my initial plan this morning Like it's in it's in chat. That was my lines that I wanted But I got in like too big at like 345 and 350 Yeah, just like because there was a seller 350 and it was like it kept refreshing and I just kept And I actually got in like pretty big. I was up to like not pretty big I was up to like 15 000 shares at like a 350 50 average or 349 average or something and I was just sitting there like I knew it too.  It's done It's done.  This has got to go down And i'm just going to be like, okay, you know, where's a where's a good place for me to take profits Like where's every single short going to cover or at least be a little bit scared, you know And i'm i'm not delusional like I understand that Uh, you know, if we go para i'm selling, you know, I don't think this is going to 10 or 20 or whatever dollars You know, there's been plenty of times where I've like piked out early but I'm gonna keep those consistent gains where like we get a candle that like should end the stock and then, you know We get into the afternoon and we're still grinding and grinding and grinding.  There's obviously a bitter here And I think it's just really like for shorts for longs for anyone.   So I mean, yeah works longs nail and bail market I feel like I feel like right now. It's like It's it's almost like a no one's mark Like it's it's a nail and bail market, but I feel like no one has like a A major like there's been days like the day that cei like really crashed like that was like a good day for shorts But I feel like other than that like every day like every stock has given like longs and shorts like a small window of opportunity Yeah And then after that it's kind of like it's game over and like yeah as as someone like like so I know like day trading For you is like your your main source of income like you live off day trading right which is like sick and it's like So for you Do you find do you get like actual stress like outside of the market because of that when it's a market like this?   It's giving me plenty of time to kind of get in and get out It's giving me It's it's so predictable Whereas like you hear me in austin be like, oh, we're depressed like oh stuff at the highs But it's so predictable that we're like, oh man Like we know where this is gonna go So I'm not going to go out of my way and say I'm gonna hold for a dollar higher If stocks are running two three four dollars higher That's a signal for me that I need to hold on a bit longer But hi day stuff and I'm in from middle to bottom of the range with a couple thousand shares I mean, I'll take that all day every day. I love it. I love it. So that's what I've kind of been, you know doing I mean, I don't I see I just don't really get stressed as much anymore because I just have so much money saved, you know That's key. That's key. I I feel like traders especially like Like I know guys and I've met traders throughout the time that I've been in the community that like They trade like four times a year. They trade like the first red day setup or like a parabolic like dries And that's it like they don't trade anything else to trade four or five times a year Once a quarter whatever and that makes their year and then the rest of the time They're just really like frugal and like live like I mean they might make like a million two million or more But they still live very like casual and like I think that was a lesson It's good that you know this young but like that was a key lesson that I learned in the past few years was like I've always been a saver But I've realized that as I get older too and like more involved in trading It's like you just want to know that you got it in the bank and like That's when trading to me be became became less stressful. That's when using size became way less stressful too like 100 Like dude, like using like more than 10,000 shares like a few years ago I probably would have been like Shitting my pants because I would have been like well if that rips against me $5 like I mean obviously you don't want that But like that was your always your fear and it's like as you accumulate more money in the bank It's almost like taking those setups becomes easier and that's like why like I try to say it to guys all the time in In m. I see it's like it's like I What helped me the most is like I just take the small gains like like people see it like I'll have like I'll make $1,000. I'll make like $2,000. I might make $500 But I just let it grow and build and like sure like then hopefully like one of these days I'll have a bigger bigger day But like That I think allows me to stay so stress-free and like I don't really give a shit if I make money day in day out And I think that that probably is huge for you as well Yeah, that is massively huge because like I mean I lived with my parents for so long Right. I got I got I got so lucky where I was in university learned how to trade You know dropped out of university my parents were like you can live with us for a few years save some money Now I'm just chilling And that was the biggest You know that that was the best launch pad that any parent could give me You know, and so I'm thankful for my parents for that, but also If you're trading right now And you're just staring at the chart And you and you just say to yourself like okay, I'm just going to play what's in front of me I don't care about how much money I make. It's hard to to develop that kind of like subconscious Uh, I don't care. Um, I I just want to kind of uh You know play play what's in front of me and I just want to trade the stocks that are in front of me That is what is going to make you the most money that type of mindset but if you have the mindset of like Uh, well, if I put in my spreadsheet and I make uh 10 percent today or 20 percent tomorrow I may be rich right That is not going to be the the type of mindset that you want right both of us both know it Where if you're just chilling like you look at alex, right alex is a is a Probably the absolute best example that I've learned from As like a mentor same with bow and as a person You know, I feel like we both kind of been able to learn from him Whereas like yeah He he is literally like i'm only adding size on the plays that I know size is worthy Yep, and that was just such a key turnaround to me. Also the way he adds to his winners Yeah Right like he he has like maybe like a couple thousand shares on his line Sees it reject big Lee adds big Lee Yeah, a mass mass everyone everyone's writing like how do I add to a winner?   I feel like everyone I swear so like People probably don't know this but as a mod like we get tons of dm from members like asking questions And like I honestly think 90% of my questions are seriously like how do I add to a winner's short seller?      We need to pull back Second time we got to that level we got up there too quick and that's what I'm thinking, right? We we got up there too quick.  No, that wasn't right. No, that wasn't right because as a long trader You need to be so goddamn picky and you need to be able to say And you need to subconsciously admit it to yourself and be very very real with yourself where you're like If if this actually goes I can still be unaffected for the rest of the day Right. I think if you miss it Yeah, because there are a ton of big pumps. There are a ton of big dumps for short sellers, right? And usually the reverse ends up happening, right? We see a big dump pre-market Everyone piles in short. We start going the other way. No one wants to cover.  So it's about knowing market psychology as well. I think that's that's helped me, you know pair Yeah, how how is a long do you I don't think I've ever asked anyone this question, but how is a long do you Differentiate the setups that you take size on versus not because like I know as a short how I differentiate like Where I'm going to use like a couple thousand shares and like go way bigger But like how do you do that as a long if I'm adding so this is a that that's actually a very good question So for me, I've always kind of said to myself Uh, a lot of the time it's based on time of day So pre-market, I'm going to take the less size because I know what's kind of going on Uh, when the market opens Um, I might take a bit more and the reason why is because we can get that initial push higher that really starts the day off, right? We haven't gotten it usually Like in the in the past couple months. So for the past couple months Like I've definitely sized down at the market open 100 size down market open zombie times. I'll start sizing up again Uh Midday if we're doing very very very good volume. I'll keep that size and I'll maintain it otherwise You know, I'll kind of leave alone the midday job and then uh end of day Uh, that's when I'll look to maybe size up a little bit again But my size has really been about time time of day, you know, okay Do you have a 30% like do longs use a 30% or like any sort of style like that or do you? um It it's going to depend like if we're under view app and I'm not that confident then yeah I'm gonna size down my my trades have always been about kind of the confidence I think high a day you need to use less size And if you are trading underneath view app, you need to use probably lesser size as well Unless we're like just underneath view app In the middle of the range. That's when I don't have that kind of Uh problem because like yeah, I'm just gonna keep adding a little bit all the way up until like You want to as along the key really is is that you want to kind of You want to slightly time it So um, and I'm just gonna start giving away shit because like You know why not you want to slightly time it So like you kind of have that excitement And you move down into that kind of like desperation But you don't want to long that type of you know desperation You want to kind of see it grind higher and maybe start stopping some shorts out And that's where you want to start kind of Starting a long position and then as we kind of move a bit higher and we kind of maybe stagger You want to keep adding there? And then once we get that excitement and you feel it on tape where You you know, it's you can feel in your bones, you know where we're getting those green prints going through Everyone is excited. Everyone is just saying hot chick hot chick hot chick amazing. Boo. Boo. Boo. That's where I'm starting so I like that I like that a lot.   Yeah 100 and people are like, oh you're in and out so quick or you're this So quick but bro Like i'm just taking my money and running.  But wait, but whatever that was that but again three years That's nothing and also like on your day to day if I see you take a loss It's usually like 10 cents like even on like a higher priced stock. So like yeah, all right I got stopped like i'm stopped guys. Hi Yeah, but like How did you do like why are you so tight on your like stops like have you ever considered being more smaller? But like scaling or like did how did you come to be that someone who just gets in at their size? They want kind of and then like keep your wrist so tight and like how long did it take you to kind of develop that? um For that type of shit, uh Well, see the thing is is that I always wanted to know that I wanted to maintain a tight risk because i'm a stubborn person Yeah, um, i'm really stubborn and so if I don't have a hard stop in i'm not i'm not gonna want to Get out of that type of position.   The problem is that the shorts are just going to keep adding with you Yeah, right. It's never going to bounce. You need you need situations where people are short and They're caught off guard by that mode where they're confidently short, right? You need confident shorts I I loved cei today. I didn't take it but You I know how confident you and Alex were Yeah, and that was okay for me because like I had such a low average I knew you guys were adding higher like That's that's it's good for both of us in that type of situation And I understood the amount of supply.   Where would I get out? And I was like, okay, like three three sixty. I'm out. I'm out.   Yeah, so I mean it's your it's your biggest advice.   The thing is with Uh longing is that you need high volume tickers Right, you know, you need a high volume ticker like cei Even though I didn't trade it. I literally wanted to trade that stock so bad.  I didn't get in I didn't get in Oh, well, you know, and that's why I was like kind of talking like I was in it because to me like I was in that trade like even though I didn't have any like money like in it or anything like When I watch tickers and I watch price action and I I watch stuff I I'm literally like I literally like deeply pretend that I'm in it and so You know, if I'm in a type of situation like cei, I'm like, where would I sell? Where would I sell? Where would I sell? You know, and I'm literally just gonna keep doing if and for any advice of anyone You know, if you want to like what is going to be Alex's number one thing when he says Watch price action is going to be get some skin in the game, right? And so I always pretend like I have some type of skin in the game So I'm watching cei. I'm like, I got I got, you know, 5 000 shares long from here Like where am I going to sell? Where am I going to sell? That is the best practice that you can get Because you feel like you have skin in the game and even if you don't, you know You still feel like you do and that's why I said like oh, yeah, I'm looking to sell 360 Like I really was looking to sell 360 and if I had have gotten, you know shares long down there I definitely would have but I think for a lot of long traders The issue is that They want to long stocks before things have gotten, you know going right they want to get in trades, you know Before people have gotten in them before everyone's found out about them before But they just want to get into goddamn early and that's a problem You know, yeah want to get into goddamn early I have a I have a random question that just popped into my head actually I don't know why but I wanted to ask you this for a while now and I completely forgot So how will do you know? 22 You're 22 Jesus fuck so How is someone like I know recently and like we won't get into it because it's private But like I know you talked about like stresses outside of the market like shit that goes on and like I told you about shit That goes on inside of my life and like stuff like that How do you um How do you deal with that stress when it comes to trading because if we know trading is so uh So mental and like so emotional and like How do you how do you deal with shit like that like outside of the market and like does it affect your trading inside and like What do you do to kind of balance that out? Um, well my mom's a counselor. So when I'm home, I have like my own wendy roads. That's cool That has been so probably not as hot as wendy road though.   You should pretend that you don't need, you know anything Because that is what kind of helps me.    Why do you leave?  Let's go. I don't know why I've always thought about that question But I guess there's never been a good time to ask but yeah, so so let's get through some of these so um This one's like a short bias question. I guess he's like do you scale uh into lines or starting a line? It's no jackpots of short. Um Jackpot jackpot bones is actually I want to represent just go back and check that out. Um for me like I know harry doesn't really scale like interpretation is not much like if small at all, but I know for me like I don't really scale like my scaling is almost just a method of curing clomo So like if I have like a four dollar line and it's at like 350 Like I might short like and let's say I have like 5 000 shares located forward or something like that I might short like 250 shares into pops like like 5 70 5 80 Like whatever like around there because like to be honest like and maybe this is like a weird way to think of it like I don't care if i'm down like 100 or 200 dollars like on the front side because it's just like that's like nothing And it's just enough to make me like Kind of have skin in the game like harry was talking about in focus And then the second it gets to my line and gives me that kind of confirmation like that's kind of where i'm gonna That's where i'm just going to hit my size like i'm not I don't have a fantasy order waiting there like if it gets there It does what I wanted to i'm just going to like take hit the bid and like get in um So far scaling like that's kind of how that's kind of how I do it. Yeah I mean for me it's going to be like if there's really going to be for longing and like Maybe Like bow has a different kind of approach to me because I've watched him trade You know for so long like he will scale multiple lines long and he will Scale multiple lines like exiting but for me it's been like there's one area that I want If the area doesn't work. I'm out quick The area doesn't work You know, I mean that's Do you harry do you strictly trade according to your bias or capsize or do you dabble in other areas? Swing trades large caps, etc. And just don't talk about it and as your account grows Have you started investing in other areas? If so, which ones? Um, I mean for me like I have had swing trades in the past, but like I'm not really a big swing trade guy Um, you know, I'm always going to be invested in the stock market as a whole Like that's something that I'll always preach on Like I'll buy dips. I will Invest long term, you know, but I'm not I don't think that deserves to be in like the large cap trading channel Like oh i'm making this investment and i'm holding it for you know a long time like I don't know like So, I mean I I do that.  I just Trade, you know, I have my own money. I just you know chill. That's really bad.  That's it.  I'm just looking around like people ask about like what do you do for drinking?    Uh It's actually not a bad question for me.  You know So I literally I'll get my brain like my brain will be like Can we salvage this day because anytime I go out? I'm like, I Automatically assume that the next day I cannot work. I cannot do anything.  But You know, if I'm just too out of it, like I know like There was an election in Canada and uh, you know Pretty pretty pretty knocked after that one.    It's going to be a stuff For james you want to I thought you were gonna keep going you could cut a position earlier than you planned It's going to be a probably a green candle like massive teleport or something.  Like that's it.  It's going to be like more of like a plan type of thing If I'm going to take liquidity, it's going to be more of like unplanned, but I know that I'm going to make money right away Yep, yeah, I generally don't add Add liquidity to be honest with you. I'm pretty much always like hitting the bid to get in I don't know. It's it's I only add liquidity if I need to like set fantasy orders to like prevent myself from doing something dumb But most of that I'm just like I'm fine waiting for my spot and I'll just Hit the bid when it gets there What patterns have you found worked in the last year 2020 compared to now? For me, I found a lot of things in 2020 would run at the open Now we're seeing a lot of things kind of fading off at the open and picking back up in the afternoon James I think I think 2020 as a short there was like all these like um I would say there's a lot of like pre-market like stocks that would like gap up and then like kind of tank towards the open And pre-market trading seemed a lot easier even with all the volume And like there was much more range pre-market and now it's like Now like I feel like you have to wait all pre-market to like get a safe short And I just think it makes more sense and like something I want to say even before you read the next question Like guys like when you have opportunity to ask like mods and like other traders questions like Don't waste it.   So Yeah, perfect. I again guys like A lot of these questions like they come with experience as well like you'll get them over time but the reality is like Take advantage of like being M. I see right now is going into a transitionary period where like I was just talking about that we're becoming seriously the Harvard of trading and There's no more monthly memberships.     They're like we'll refund you to leave Like what I would never I would never heard anything like that. Like I literally see bow.   That's a good one, but definitely good chat. Definitely good chat talking about things and uh Yeah, uh, we'll see you guys for the next one. Yeah You


What's wrong? No, yeah. I hope everybody had a great day doing buff sessions, picking, having fun, and sometimes enjoying the sun maybe. We wanted to do a quick wrap up of the sessions. So it would be lovely if everybody that was leading a session or feels they can represent a session could quickly join me and give a quick glance and see for example you're the first in the UK with plasma buff. So with a plasma buff we looked at what needs to happen for plasma buff which is a feature frozen arts every day for you. A few bucks, we went over the change flux and what happened. We made well plans for the for the phone features we need to put in there and what needs to happen with that. And that's it. So we're really down to project management things. This morning we had a can band game workshop and we had a small team trying to go through that particular game. We unfortunately couldn't completely finish but I think they learned a few things about how you do smetrics. Do you agree with that? Did you learn something? So I think that was productive I'm actually thinking about maybe proposing it again next year so other people can try it because I turned to photography and run it for many people at the same time so it has to be by small hatches. Was there actually in France before? Yes. You can come over and I can talk about France a little bit more a little bit more to be honest I don't know what to do. Ok, so we had the academy effort for French taking the decision about what we're going to do in France so basically what we've done is talking more about the two works that we have we're going to manage to make some more blog posts because it's kind of under posted so we're taking the decision about when we're going to remind you and making some interaction between each other we decided to make some conference at the academy effort in Toulouse which could be next year in November I guess end of November so everyone propose a talk and we're going to go through this and propose it to the main talk and that's basically all we're planning to go to send some French guide to help at the stand so if you guys feel like going there we'll see each other there that's all Right, can everyone hear? So we did a plasma mobile design and it was a very tentative first session just trying out to see what we were standing like the general rules what we found out was that we need to move the human interface guidelines from the plasma desktop to the phone to the device where we also talked about things like the web page that needs to be changed due to trademark reasons we talked about logo communication we talked about general layout of applications stuff like that but all of it is very tentative so it will need to be refined during the coming weeks and we also set up a really simple time plan for when certain things need to be done there are certain things that need to be done today and then tomorrow and in five minutes etc so it was a good talk and it was a little bit new that was all I was part of the FLA session that's even now though my voice is almost gone but yes so for the FLA session we had a nice discussion what the FLA is that we have two versions that it's not so easy to change it and so on one interesting thing we learned is that we should all be updating the office files more because that might be a good thing for the legal department so please add yourself and the KDEV to the copyright adders if that applies to you if you have signed the FLA I think it was actually a really fun session considering the rather dry nature of the topic so it was nice so we do have FLA for you to sign so then we also had the books I just saw this that's cool the books Bob was scheduled right now and obviously it can't be so I would have to be scheduled it I was hoping to have it right after the frameworks okay books have not yet happened albat internationalization localization so we had above translations there's some things that one could explore the possibility of using web tools for translating we declared the requirements that need to happen which is not breaking the workflow we have and then they are going to explore if they can come up with something that makes both workflows work and that was good to mention Franklin you had a a tension here with KDEV both you and I had this idea one year ago at the SES Academy and I wish to come out of course maybe in my university to teach students but with KDEV visions so we discussed something about maybe finding some junior jobs as a start to teach students how to trace KDEV's code, how to view KDEV's development environment and then maybe after midterm we can find some KDEV project that needs somebody to maintain to join the development so if this course is coming out and may need your help to tell us what kind of project we can do we can join into this course and actually I hope also people they provide some material for Q programming but I hope to let this course not only Q but connect to KDEV more so that's why I started this and I have a note actually I started that last year and then finally the day after the end of the game okay so if you are interested in that maybe we can have another learning list to teach for us we will KDEV and we have a performance session this year round and it is start on next so we can streamline the whole thing yeah I essentially presented the tools I used myself I was expecting some questions for people coming to me this is slow, can you help me fix that no one really took that offer but if you do have these kind of issues in your pet project that I do not use come to me, send me emails I can show you how to fix it I gave some tips on what to do and what not to do in Q2P sorry so nobody came to you because KDEV is pretty fast in the right do we have a wikipedia workshop yeah I haven't done that okay then we had already Ricardo as the wiki fm do you want to oh somebody speaking for ya I created these notes and I just wiki fm is created for meeting wiki innovative plugins and downloading KDEVs content plus students created contents plus professors I'm sure there's a better way to sum it up it is aimed at creating and remixing books and other kinds of books beginning with course notes from both students and professors you too should talk wiki fm once too began posting KDEV content but identity systems still must be integrated with wiki fm assistant mentor involved it's looking pretty exciting because groups like CERN are already putting their notes for a program that they've got for training students who are headed to CERN and that's happening Ricardo's talking with multiple colleges per week so right now you can run an average of the KDEV development with one button clicked and you're in a development everything runs you can start developing just click it so that's pretty cool and he wants multiple opportunities and allowing download wiki fm the name is very descriptive so it will change soon we have a concept because he wants a short course on how to create for Greta and so people do that as soon as it's vacation this is a framework basically based on the request from collapse systems to see if we could change the way we do things to have you know we release all of the frameworks for the same version number and they all depend on each other every month so the discussion was what exactly is the problem we discussed a number of solutions one of them was because basically collapse systems has a choice between like mini commercial application developers commercial application developers what they do is to basically provide a copy of everything own Qt, own KDE everything that's one solution, doesn't really work for them the other solution is more like being a meta distributor where you provide packages on top of distinct distributions and that's more the direction they want to go into but come back to what it is for frameworks what we have decided as a good solution is basically the reason we say everything is the same version number it depends on each other is because that is what we test so we document what we test and what we suggest is that collapse system does the same if they want to basically have a different version of the things that they have tested then they can have a vendor branch where they would say we have tested this framework with this version of that framework and basically they would probably need that as well to backport but the agreement we have is that the vendor branch would not be used for future development like it happened in the wrong path what we want is simply a branch where they can change the dependencies and backport stuff but any new development should happen in master and just add it 3 more 3 more sessions I don't quite know what I'm saying anymore I thought that you have a releasing session and then finally you have a mobile session you are next yeah there was no one for the releasing session so it didn't happen I had a schedule in for the way it went on yeah well there was you there was a lot to talk about so I did a workshop I did a workshop on Qt and Android integration so how you would receive intense push notifications and how to show rectangles using native Android it was quite intense but I hope I could deliver some information to the attendees last one did we forget anyone what about KDE who perceives great and not so great currently it's a KDE and how we could move forward what is that we have a small group of people who will meet tomorrow to figure out the next steps for the first part for KDE which it was finding a mission for us thank you thank you all for taking the workshop


When I began my writing business some years ago, I was oblivious to how I would gain writing clients let alone increase my income. Of course, like every newbie writer, I only dreamed of writing books and novels and anthologies hoping for goodness sake they would serve. But if you ask any new writer out there who's worth his salt, you will soon learn that making a big break with your first book is not only a big deal. It has a slim chance, so I switched to building a business around my skill instead and it paid off in the long run coupled with the good income I make off of writing now, I write books too. If you manage your own business as a young person or you're looking for ways to either increase your income or earn money from a side business in your 20s, these strategies will certainly help you. 1. Learn a New Skill At the time, I was determined only to write books and create short stories no one would likely buy and even if they did, I was unsure I could sell enough of them to save me from begging for daily meals or paying my rent. So I picked up a new skill, email copywriting and started to learn all I could about it. I started all the free content I could on it and soon I was earning enough money off email copywriting even to make me begin a game to work on my book writing dreams. What skill can you learn today to augment your present income? As I often say, there is arguably no skill you would like to learn today whose teachings and materials aren't available for free on the internet. You'll be paid for what you know and even better for knowing so much about it. But even after doing this, you may want to follow the next step. 2. What of Mouth Marketing? If you've been taking piano lessons, for example, online, watching YouTube videos and studying websites, then you are set to start to take your new skill to the next level, make money off it. But what better way to do that than to start to talk to friends about what you do? Tell your friends what you can do now. Post about it on Facebook, share it on Twitter, publish it on WhatsApp. Tell your friends to tell their friends and their friends to tell their friends. I started to rave and rant to close friends about my email copywriting skill and in less than 14 days, I started writing emails. I got my first client. You can do it too. But just as an addition, the next step is equally important to building this new small business. 3. Demonstrate Your Scale? Days after I knew I wanted to start to write email for a leave-in, I waited so long for clients to approach me. They didn't. So I grabbed a few emails of friends and began to email them daily, teaching them a thing or two about business and introducing my email copywriting service below each mail. Less than two weeks later, I got a call from a prospective email copywriting client. Although the job didn't pull through then, we have become the best of friends doing great businesses together now. Moreover, the singular act of demonstrating my skill not only proved to clients that I could do this, I soon learned what I could and couldn't do well in the business. Which brings me to the next step. 4. Specialize This reads short and straightforward but it's the greatest lesson I learned as a beginning email copywriter. While reading an interview transcript of world-renowned copywriter Bob Bly, he advised that the best way for new freelance writers to make headway is to specialize and not generalize their skill. Here's an analogy to prove that. Who would you instead allow to treat you for a disease?  I bet you'll prefer a specialist. While there is the mind-boggling temptation to always want to do a lot, you are safe to do only one thing and do it well. If you picked a skill like cake making, for example, there are probably a thousand things attached to it but you could decide to specialize in making wedding cakes only. If you're a writer wanna be, what if you write only children books for a start?  If you love to cook, what if you cooked only continental dishes delivered only to office executives while orders are placed via phone calls? I'm just saying, it is safer and saner to be the best at one thing than to be good at so many things. Good doesn't save the world and make your life far better than you will ever expect but best will. Strive to be the best As much as you must specialize, you must equally strive to be the best in your feud. You won't always be the only fish ruling your pond. There would likely be orders in your feud but the difference between you and the orders is your differentiation. What differentiates you from the others? How can you become the best at what you do? Those who go the extra mile are those who always get the best results for their clients and often always get the best results. Brand Tracey said that the top 10% of people in a particular feud are those who are the best at what they do. If you do excellently what your mates do sharply, you will soon become sought after in your feud. To earn more than your mates earn, be the best at what you do by always learning to go the extra mile. Excellence is habit so practice excellence. In conclusion, if you own a business or manage another person's business, it's not bad if you start the day to create other opportunities to earn more income by using the tips of both. Thanks to the internet, you can learn a new skill in one week or one day and start immediately to use the same skill to grow your income. Entrepreneurship doesn't begin with owning a million dollar business. No, instead it begins with launching the small sized businesses you can easily manage without great risk to them. And by the way, there's no limit to how many small businesses you can start today. Thanks again to the internet. If this video inspired you, like this video, we love you.


Braving violent repression, the people of Panama continue their struggle demanding a solution to the cost of living crisis. The national strike, which began on July 1st by Panamanian social movements, has seen major roadblocks and protest demonstrations against the apathy of the national government of President Laurentino Cortiso. Weeks before the strike began, organizations had presented the government with a list of 32 demands that addressed the grave economic, political, and social crises in the country. On Tuesday, July 19th, the representatives of various popular movements and social organizations had arrived in the city of Penino May to participate in a negotiation with the government. The meeting, mediated by the Catholic Church, was aimed at finding a solution to the growing crisis in the country. However, the negotiations were suspended after the government unleashed violent repression against protesters in the Veraguest province. The People United for Life Alliance, the National Alliance for the Rights of Organized People, and the indigenous organizations from the Inigabi-Bugle region, who were set to take part in the negotiations, strongly denounced the repression. About half an hour before the dialogue process had set to begin, the anti-riot units brutally repressed protesters who had blocked the Inter-American Highway for the past three weeks. Security officials forcibly cleared the highway using tear gas, pepper spray, and pellets to disperse the crowd. In the incident, scores of protesters were injured, and at least seven were arrested. Nevertheless, within hours following the repression, protesters returned to block the road. Additionally, in the evening, a large number of people arrived in Santiago to support the closure of the Inter-American Highway and joined the blockade. Well, from Panama we can inform that the dangerous forces that have been fighting in the highway are gathered, they are dialoguing, exchanging proposals, technical support to be able to, from here, be able to be with the government and to give them a confident way of dealing with what has been agreed on, the decrease in freezing the prices, the fuel, the basic fuel, the electrical energy, the issue, the security, the issue of the Inter-American Highway for the end of the year, in addition to these issues, the corruption, in that it is being talked about among the belligerent social forces that we are in Panama, against the impositions of this government and everything that has happened. From there, there are still repressions, unfortunately, the police, the unit, the control of the crowd continues to attack the Panamanian people. The Panamanian people have not been allowed to continue to resist and will continue to resist while there is no effective response to get out of this crisis, a crisis provoked by the economic and neoliberal model of the capitalist system, a structural issue. It is a issue that, as we have said, takes away the power to make it rich, and that is also fighting in the streets, because it is not supported, and as we say in Panama, this is no longer able to stand, and that is why people are in the streets. But we continue in the dialogue and waiting for the government, when it is time to sit down, we will be able to make it feel there is an immediate effective response. On July 20th, as the organizations waited for the dialogue process to begin with the government, they announced the opening of humanitarian corridors, which were agreed upon through dialogue with agricultural producers to allow the circulation of food products and fuel to communities across the country. The Alliance of the United People for Life has opened the way here at the point of popular resistance of San Felix Chiriquí to proceed with the humanitarian aid set up in the dialogue table, which was carried out and is carried out between the different actors and the popular uprising. Part of humanitarian aid is the circulation, because we understand that it is necessary that the Panamanian people also be able to receive the effects of food, fuel, medicine, among other things, other necessities. We know that this is a struggle that has repercussions for our people, but we are trying to resolve this situation.


The project I'm working on is called Ubuntu, meaning I am because you are. It's also from the Zulu language in South Africa. And it's just like Mikasa Tsukasa. The project creates a gathering space for the celebration of women, particularly those living within South France. And it's also a map of our migratory journey. I participated in the storytelling with a group of women, and it was really inspiring. I think this type of program should continue, bringing women together, sharing our ideas, and also reminding us where we come from and where we go in. The challenges that we face is not the end of life, but we have to strive further until we achieve our goal. Ubuntu consists of the fabric installation of the room. It also has another layer, which is the portrait of women within the community, which mimics the idea of looking at your neighbor or your friend as yourself, the idea of looking into a mirror. It also has the workshop part, which is where we create spaces to share stories and know our neighbors. Sometimes it's very emotional when you remember the past, but you also have to build yourself and get stronger. And I really learned from my fellow women, the women who were with me on that day, we discussed together. You hear other people's stories and it really empowers you. After we finished telling the stories, we talked among ourselves, we exchanged ideas, and we laughed over it. Fabric pieces are sourced across the world and in New York across our five boroughs. And especially for the past six months, I've collected a huge number of fabrics in sarbrons, which is a collaboration between myself and other community members to build this wall. We put it together mimicking traditional wall arrangements. Another layer is when we enter into a community for the installation, we mimic the nature of the surrounding. So here I'm mimicking the idea of planting and how a seed grows from one stage to another. So we started from a corner and then build it gradually. It took months and months mimicking nature. A program. This is going to be an ongoing program. A lot of women have stories, but they don't have the avenue to express themselves. So I was able to voice out my feelings, I was able to share my thoughts with others, and we have to get the stories out.


So, you worried about picking the wrong programming language to learn in 2020 and you're curious about C++, you reached the right video, so let me explain. This video was brought to you by DigiLink Academy, your number one spot to learn how to make money programming and get that six-figure salary you desire. Our Academy has a wide range of courses including 1K and 30-day spreadsheet programming, developer interview, questions and answers, and you get access to the WordPress and Com Blueprint, and much, much more. When you sign up, you get access to our free community and professional developers who want to help you take your career to the next level. So it's time for us to take that next step to get to our seven-step guide, and the good thing about it, guys, is free. So let's go ahead and click the link below so you can get access to our free seven-step guide so we can start putting money in your pockets today. Did you learn C++ programming in 2020? The short answer to that is no, especially for beginners, and I'm going to give you guys some context before you slam on me all you C++ programmers. Let me tell you guys a quick story. I went to Mississippi State University, and I'm going to see if I can showcase that here. I don't know if you guys can see it on camera, but you guys, I went to college, and when you're first starting off at college as a programmer and computer science, and you've got all this other stuff going on, it is very important that you start off your development career off at the right spot with a lot of confidence, being able to get those quick wins up front, if you don't get those quick wins up front. It dramatically bring down your chances of continuing that major and being a successful programmer as you graduate or as you leave college and you graduate. C++ is not a good programming language to learn first, especially in 2020. Yeah, I know when I was in college, maybe in the 90s or whenever that may be, it was the only, it was considered a very high level language, but in 2020, you got other programming languages out there like PHP, Python, and even Java and C-Sharp that are more higher level languages that you can learn quicker and get some quick wins, and that's my argument here guys, you can get those quick wins. Is there demand for C++? Yes, C++ is a fast-running language. It's using a lot of enterprise level applications and it's really good to go, but guys, I'm talking about when you first started learning, when you're in college. Guys, I was in college and they used to teach us all this stuff about C++, memory management, and all this, I'm amazed that I could survive that.  Back then it was just basic books and you got, had a few websites out there, but nothing to the extent that we had none. So you just kind of forced to learn it or you couldn't really get in the game, but now you got options and to just tell somebody to go soul C++ and not necessarily do another language unless they are specifically going into a enterprise level software development company. You already have a job. You already have connections. You already know that, hey, if I learn this, I'm going to get that job. Then yes, okay. I can understand that, but anything beyond that, you better be very careful because you're going to put yourself in a position to be overwhelmed and possibly get burned out. So that's one of the main issues guys. And I got three more, two more issues here that I want to cover, but the goal is to make sure you guys build that confidence level. Feel good at programming and really put yourself in a position so that you can get those projects because at the end of the day, completing the projects is what's going to bring the money in your pocket. Completed projects, projects that allow the company to make money, to scale, to be more efficient. This is the stuff you put on your resume. This is what separates you from the average programmer to the very experienced good programmer. The level of projects and the impact that those projects have guys, if you're not willing to do that, you're going to always get left behind guys. So be mindful of that. So I'm going to go over three more ways guys.  So I have to make me a little bit of bullet point so I can cover. So first of all, C++ is great runtime and the right time is terrible compared to other programming languages. Again guys, we're talking 2020. I know in the heyday of C++ when you didn't have a lot of higher level object oriented programming languages out there, it was the best on the market. It was the fastest and efficient, especially when you start to compare to assembly and machine languages and all the other options you had back at that time. Yes, I know C++ was the standard, especially once you're moving from C or upgrading from C to C++. It was amazing guys. But just like anything else, technology evolves. You have to make sure you stay current with the times. And again, at the end of the day, it's all about how effective are you at work. Now, let's go into this guys. When you are writing programs with C++, you have to worry about memory management, it's not agile friendly. It's to the point now guys where hardware is so powerful, the compute, the memory that from an average programmer, like average application setup, you can't tell the difference between Python, PHP, RCShark or any other program language because the hardware is that quick and that good and it's only getting better. So it's going to diminish the importance of the performance based on for the programming languages.  And their core application is going to be need to be written by C++ or C because of the performance at that scale. But the rest of us, the 95% of us do not need that level of scale guys. That's why I'm telling you, small business, mid-sized businesses, do not need that level of scale. You guys need to really kind of understand that, to understand that, hey, should I learn C++ program. Number two guys, there are easier programming languages out there. There are easier programming languages out there guys and it's on a higher level. You can get started real fast. It's not as intimidating and it really puts you in a position to win guys. You got to understand this. Number one, first of all, with Python. It's a good language. I personally haven't used it in a enterprise or enterprise level yet, but a lot of AI guys, a lot of data science guys, they love it. And you see a lot of tutorials online about Python. PHP, freelancers, WordPress, the whole Lambda stack is going to always have that demand in that segment because it's easier to deploy. You can get some quick wins. Women programming operations, great for that. Same with Python. You try to do something on that same scale with C++ it's not going to happen. Not at the speed that you would like it. It's going to take a lot more work, a lot more lines of code and maintaining it is going to be a headache, but it's going to run fast. But again, at that scale you're talking about, it's going to be miniscule. So you got to understand that guys. So that being said, last but not least guys, it's still in demand. So going to the positive side of things. C++ is still in demand. A lot of the gamers, a lot of large scale company, enterprise, core software, they use C++ and C. A lot of operating systems, your windows, your Linux, all that's written in C++, at least part seven. Office, your Google search, a lot of that processing written in C++. Adobe Photoshop, you're seeing a trend in all these applications. Spotify, MySQL, Firefox, all of these are applications that are large, large, large, large, large scale that needs max performance to be able to provide the best experience for the end users or be on a platform so that you can develop other applications on it, so it has to move fast. Us as developers or the standard developer, we're actually a layer above that. We're working on applications that sit on top of applications or OSs that run C. We rarely need that level of performance for the type of applications we're running, unless you work for those big enterprise companies, guys. So, guys, I can belabor this point all day, but I want to see how you guys feel about it. What have you experienced being with C++? What are you doing to position yourself to learn programming and what programming languages did you, first of all, use? And the second thing is how are you getting paid or what programming languages you are getting paid to use now, guys? All you guys should know my philosophy by now. I'm all about getting those projects completed, those software stacks for the company, let the market determine what you learn in your industry, and that's going to put you in a position so that if you do lose your job, like we're seeing bad times, you can always go get another job somewhere else with the same skill set, with the more domainic knowledge, and you're going to be more valuable to that company, and you can really kind of be that valuable asset to get that six-figure salary that you guys want.

Before I close this video, I am working on the back office of my website. I've been hard at it. I'm changing a lot of stuff. I'm scaling up and really doubling down on the platforms that I'm using. I'm cutting out all the fluff, and I'm just going to go all in on this. So a lot of you guys have been on my website, getting courses and stuff. I'm moving stuff around. I'm really kind of leveling up on my video quality, my content, my infrastructure, so bear with me.

Wow. What's up? I'm the GeeksmsTV here. Welcome to another video, guys. In this video, we are going to talk about Lucid A or Lucid model. Again, this company has been in the news constantly the last two weeks and we're just hoping to finally get some news. So I wanted to give you guys an update as to some of the information that I know was reading over this weekend. But before we get started, guys, if you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money. How to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So, guys, again, we have had this whole speculation about Lucid model and Churchill Capital going in public. It's just been really tightly. Nobody wants to come out and make that confirmation. Lucid is not speaking. Churchill is not speaking, but we still keep getting all these reports that they are really nearing a deal. So over the weekend here, this is a story that I got from Yahoo Finance. It said Lucid model is set to nail the deal to go public via Client Spark, which is Churchill Capital. Again, all these companies are giving this inside information, which means there's something cooking out there and they're just not telling us yet. And right now, the story, they're saying that they're valuing this company at about $16 billion if these deals go through, which is kind of crazy, guys. That's a lot of money for a company that really hasn't started selling products yet. I know that, yes, they have a lot of orders, but until they start selling, we cannot just value them that much. But you see a lot of the Spark companies, a lot of tech companies do get that kind of valuation. So I can't blame them for it. So again, if we look here, here's another news that I read today that Lucid, again, and Churchill Capital are close to announcing the deal. And these guys actually said around the 23rd. So that would be, I think, on Tuesday, which is going to be crazy. So if this is, again, if all this information is true, you should definitely look at Lucid tomorrow, Monday, to be a game changer. I mean, this thing is going to move tomorrow like crazy. So let's jump here and take a look at Lucid, see what it's trading right now. So close last week at about $54.6062. And if you just go back and take a look, so this thing went as high as $60, which before pulling back and then closing the day at that $54. So again, if all the information that we heard over the weekend known that opening market on Monday, even pre-market on Monday, this thing is going to move quick. It might at open or pre-market, it might move. You might see this thing go to about $65.00 before pulling back again around 7 or 8 before 8.30. The market opens and it was squeezed back to up to $65.00 and maybe even test $70.00. And then in anticipation of the actual announcement on Tuesday, again, this is the fact that if this speculation or the information that we're reading here, if this is true, expect to start to really, really squeeze to about $75.00 or $80.00 even. Because just prior to this news, we saw this thing went from $40.00 and squeezed all the way to $53.00, just like that. And then now it's sitting there holding support about that $54.00, $55.00 price point. Again, if the information that we're hearing is true, anticipate this is going to squeeze all the way to $70.00, $75.00. And if it wants to, we might even see $80.00. Again, that is just my speculation. So Lucid Moto guys is really approaching a deal with Chelsea Capital, but they don't want to really come out and say it. And for some reason, I don't know what the hold up is because most parks, they usually want to say it because it helps the company raise a ton of capital. I think Lucid has an upper hand here because they have a lot of backing from Saudi companies. So I think from Saudi Arabia, they have some investors from that particular country. And so it looks like they're sitting on some really good cash there. So the merger here is not just necessarily to raise capital, but just basically taking them public because it looks like from a capital standpoint, they're sitting pretty good. So again, if you can see here, and so we're talking about institutional investors there in mind that Saudi sovereign wealth fund, which is again Saudi Arabia, is putting money into this company. So those are some of the key things that you want to see. So I think they are going through and really trying to iron out any sort of details that they have to before they come out and make the announcement because as soon as they make the announcement, you think this thing is going to explode. And Lucy, really thinking like I think second quarter or third quarter of 2021, they're going to start shipping out vehicles. So again, we'll see how that goes. So the deal for the electric vehicle maker could be announced on Tuesday, two of the people set. So again, this is inside information that this thing might be coming out on Tuesday, guys. This is some exciting news. If this again goes through, we're talking about a $15 valuation for this company, which is crazy. But again, I've told you guys my feelings on Lucy models. I don't need to explain that even more. I think I like the company. I like the looks of the car, the luxury brand that they bring to the table in electric vehicles and not just that. But I mean, so far, nobody has come out and dispute what this company is saying their claims as far as how solid their cars are. And then they're talking about it when you're charging and building charging stations and part that doing a partnership with other charging companies to kind of make charging easy, which I think is a brilliant thing to do. So that's what I wanted to cover in this video again, guys. Just a quick update here. Just get you guys ready for the week. Now, Lucy models is actually planning on making an announcement on Tuesday. Again, this is what I'm reading here on Yahoo Finance and also on this other tech website here. Again, both of them are pointing to Tuesday. So I'm anticipating that there's some news out there. So again, this is an opportunity to get in pre-market on Monday to ride that wave in and all the way to that 70, 80 dollar price point. And if this thing goes through, it would surprise me if Lucy actually test a hundred dollars because the company is a solid company. It's not Quantune Scape, it's not Nikola Modo. This is a company that is ready to go. The factory is ready to go and they're in the process right now. Just getting ready to start development and start shipping out all these vehicles. So that's what we're going to cover in this video. So if you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth.

Hello, I guess you can start now, right? All the food's gone, everything's finished. OK, guys. So I'm very, very excited to come and speak to you today about Vue.js. It's something that, as an IT person, I don't normally get very excited about new technology. And when Vue came on to the market, when I looked at it, I was like, wow, this is going to be big. And that was about one and a half, two years ago. Today, it's everywhere. Vue is overtaking. We are one of the best, most starred on GitHub. And the thing about it is just so easy. So I think what I would like to do, right, there are lots of meetups where they talk about the more advanced stuff. I want to be the person in the community that just does the beginner stuff. Because I feel very strongly that beginner stuff is very important. So the title of the meetup is called Vue.js, A New Hope of What. So we want to talk about beginners. And you want to look at how fantastic Vue is. 26,000 stars last year in 2016. It's probably now more. And we're competing with another quite popular framework. And if there's one line to sum up Vue.js, it means less is more. And later, I'll talk to you guys why less is more. Finally, the part about single-page apps spa that's very, very exciting, where we, in the web development business, can go and start to make an impact in the mobile apps. That's very exciting stuff. And finally, what exactly is Vue.js, in case you didn't know, it's a JavaScript framework. So look at the lines. So a lot of people like to wonder, what exactly do we mean by framework, especially those people who are not coders in the market? So we'll start at the beginning, off the beginning. All right, 1,000 DC ago, it was paper. You can't do very much with paper, OK? You write the thing, that's it, send it to the next guy. Nothing much happening. In the 1990s, HTML came into the market that allows you to text stuff. So you can see more interaction happening. In 1995, you had JavaScript. So just having a plain page with bold text wasn't enough. We wanted to have some interaction happening. And you normally would see that interaction as an alert. 2002 was a jQuery. The first JavaScript library of the first popular library is actually still very popular today. And in the 2010, we had the Angular starting the upper year, which is a framework. So as it gets more complicated, the frameworks appear. So what exactly is this? OK, when you're doing a lot of JavaScript right, you can see on the right-hand side, it's starting to get very, very complicated over the place. I've seen this everywhere. And you end up with that piece of mess on the left-hand side, where you don't know where all this code is coming from. It's either in the middle, it's in the side, it's over the page, you have variables referenced over the place. That's what ends up. And when the framework was developed, I like to think that a framework is actually a arrangement like a carpentry desk or something like that. So what's unique about that is that, first of all, you have a set of tools that are available to everybody. It may be a hammer, it may be a screwdriver. These are the first things. The second thing is everything's arranged. So that's what a framework is. It's arranged neatly so that it can be applied. And the third part, which is you know where everything is. So frameworks are very useful when you have multiple people, teams of people who work on the same thing. So imagine if I had a carpentry desk with my friend's house, I could go over there and work on that stuff immediately. So that's what a framework is all about. It standardizes stuff, makes things easy. And then the final part is best practices incorporated. When you're coding, right, you may not know what the best practices are. You may not know, like I have a very bad habit of naming my variables with underscore or with camel case and then they float between these two things. So a little bit of standardization makes it easy to work as a team. So you don't have to learn this stuff. You don't have to educate the person you're working with. You just have to say, hey, do you work with this framework? Do you work with a set of carpentry stuff? So that's what a framework is. Not many people actually explain this stuff. Of those people who are more advanced, just bear with me on that. So what happened in 2017? What, why is Vue.js so good that, you know, until I'm so interested in it? The first thing is that Frontend has gone crazy. It's out of control. Every few months, right, a new Frontend appears, a new technology. Before I even downloaded MPM 2.0 something, or I don't know why, I think 4.0 something, the new one came out already. So things keep changing so quickly in Frontend technology is described as for Cora, as ADHD. One minute is React, one minute is Angular, one minute is JSX, one minute is TypeScript. We don't know what's happening. So there's a bit of ADHD going on. The third thing that's happening is that it's more complicated than ever. You've got the compilers. You've got your web packs. You've got all this stuff coming in there. So for me, more of a back-end guy is like, I've just left this stuff for a while because I just couldn't get around it. Finally, you've got a certain framework that takes 200 megabytes and just to start your hello world.  So this is the current landscape we are in. So why Vue.js? Okay, in a landmark speech, Vue.js started by one guy, Avenue.  So you set up all this stuff to do a very, very small task. And that is what currently we have in the market. You have all these wonderful technologies back about five to 10 years ago. We didn't have all the frameworks. We had, you started coding it from scratch. What happens to it, right? It's instead of coding from scratch, you start looking for your library. You start looking for your tool first to go and solve this problem. We're going way over the other side. So you look at Angular 2. You've got all these files. You have to learn all this stuff just to start your application. And when I was looking at it, it's like, whoa, as an independent person, that is too much work, AKA using a bazooka to kill an ant.  I mean, one way is to take your shoe and go take it out and smash the ant. Then the other way is to go out and look for a tool that fits the application. So that is where we came up with the framework versus framework. So on the right, some of the frameworks that you guys know, okay? On the left is Vue.js. That's the kind of image that you want to be looking at. Which one would start off faster? Obviously, it would be the left one. And that's what Vue is all about. Getting straight up, not bulky framework. So three reasons why Vue.js is that platform that you want. First one is the tagline, which I think is why I'm so excited about Vue. Less is more. So what do we mean by less is more? The, how did this whole thing happen is that you've got your frameworks that are backed up by the big companies. You've got React, which is supported by Facebook. You have Angular, which is supported by Google. These guys are not too concerned about starting from square zero or independent consultants or any hacker in the basement. They are interested in big team solving big solutions. They can hard code, I can do it from scratch. All the small stuff. So Vue, where did Vue.js come from? Came from just one guy, Evan Yu. He had this idea of you taking the best of Angular 1 and taking some stuff from Ember, mixing that in, but coming with something that was easy to deploy straight out. And that's one of the best things. Vue.js is so simple, right? That in 60 minutes, you could go out and start coding the thing. That's how simple it is. That's the whole idea of it. And finally, it's in Gnostic. It doesn't force you to use technologies out there. So one thing I really hate when I was doing React was that this thing called JSX. So I want to use React, but I have to go and do JSX. Angular 2, they want to do tight script. So you don't normally come across applications that use so much stuff. So Vue doesn't have that kind of stuff. We want to go straight to the coding. We want to get it nice and simple. That's why less is more. Second reason is Vue is progressive. So I know what you guys are thinking. You saw that framework on the left. So this is a very bare-bodied kind of stuff that doesn't do very much. No, you're wrong. In fact, the way to think of Vue is actually like an onion. You can add the layers. It is progressively difficult. You can add all the applications that you hear, the what do you call it, flux. Vuex, same as the React stuff. Some of these very much more complicated stuff. What it is is that Vue is simple with a minimal core and an incrementally adoptable stack. So you add onto it, not have this whole thing deployed there and try to take away from it. So I'll show you guys that later. But this is why it's so exciting. Because generally, you just want to take your shoe and squash an end. If the end is much bigger, then you use a bigger tool. That is how Vue.js works. Finally, the whole point about design from the ground up to be incrementally adopted. So, again, same point, adding into that. You can start off really simple and add on to the thing and have your application achieve the goal. So the third reason is faster. The Vue is a framework under this structure called the MVVC. So that's a model Vue, Vue controller. What this means, right? Not many, I don't know why no one actually explains what MVVC looks like. So the way I explain it when clients come over to my office, right, is you think of a restaurant. So MVVC, right, let's say you go to a hawker shop. The same guy is the guy who takes your order, is the same guy who plates the thing and cooks the food. In a bigger restaurant, you've got a waiter, you've got a manager and you've got a cook. So your waiter, he does the presentation of the food, he's the Vue. The manager is a controller and the cook is the model. He does all the heavy work. So you never interact with the cook, you never interact with the model. This Vue with the MVVC means that there's some interaction going on with the Vue. So a simple example is if a burger comes to me in a restaurant and I want some salt in it, the MVC structure means that they send it back to the kitchen and then the chef puts the salt on it. The MVVC means the waiter has the power to get salt and put it onto the burger. So you're having some actions handled on the Vue side. Now what does this mean? Again, you gotta see it in practice, but for me, I think it's, for those people with the backgrounds, maybe in PHP or something, we are quite comfortable actually having interactions with our Vue, we are a Vueer. Those people who are more traditional in the, coming back from the C plus or the C shop, these guys don't like that. They want all the stuff happening in the back end in the model area.  So we'll take a look at that. And finally, coding experience with the Coder. So on your right there is the React code, on the left is the Vue and you can see the difference of the type of code. We have a object there and on the right hand side, there's a little bit, one more step more. The handles message change step, which is a DOM system. Don't worry what the heck that actually means, but what it means is there's the one additional step happening down there. The other thing that's happening at the bottom, if you can see this area, is that the Vue is doing a lot of the control. So you have your Vue model there and that's actually a Vue model. So you can actually affect changes in the Vue. Okay? So, oh no, okay, this part. Okay, so I think the best way, right, when I was going through this thing, right, is that since Vue is so simple, we should actually go and code the thing live and show you guys that how this actually works.   That is professional suicide in front of a room of Coder's live. This is very, very difficult. But I thought about it and I think, let me take a shot at it and let's see how we go with that. Don't, don't, don't fault me for this stuff. And the only other reason why I would do this is that Vue is so simple that we can actually achieve this stuff. Like I wouldn't do it with any other language out there. So let's just show a little example down here. Okay, so I've created a little, a little web page down here. And I've got a little stack here, simple stack. First of all, set up your environment. So I have a SAMP Windows Apache running over there. And I'm using a Microsoft Windows system. Shout out to Windows, sorry, Microsoft who's providing us this wonderful venue for us. So let's just see what we can come up with, okay?  So this is just your standard HTML little file. And what I wanna just say down here, right, is that this really, really simple, no pet plus plus, nothing fancy. I want it to be as simple as possible for everybody else. And I like no pet plus plus. So the first thing you wanna do, right, is very simple.  Put your Vue.js, include file in there. Now, I'm using the Node version because I didn't know what the internet was gonna work, but we can actually just use a CDN. You can use a depository. You just copy the code. That's it. You don't need this thing on top down here, okay? So you can go tonight. Don't even bother about how to download the thing. Just include that line over there, okay? For today, we're not gonna use this. Just gonna use simply down here. So all you need, right, is just the div, the decorator with an ID saying app, okay? Just ignore this secondary div there. I did that because the plain version looks really sucky. So I put a nice CSS framework down there. Okay, and then the final part of it, right? Very, very simple. You have your script tag here and you add a Vue object. So simple, Vue object. All it does, right, it has an EL there which says what element we're gonna apply Vue to. We have a data, which lets us put some variables in there and two other lines there which I'll explain later. So this is exactly very, very simple. So let's do something, okay? Let's see how we go. So my first line down here says I have to gonna try to bind a variable. So okay, we got the message here. Let's take a look at my thing. Oops, nothing, okay. So maybe we will put, let's use the mustach variable thing and put this word message there. Okay, woman of truth, here we go. Oh, did it appear? Oh, it did, it did. So, wow, it worked. Okay, so the variable binding peers right at the bottom, appear now on my view, like, wow. Are you guys mind blown? Have you anybody mind blown? Like, what, what do you do, man? Okay, it's not HTML, you know? Yeah, thank you. Some positive reinforcement. Like, what did this guy do? He put the variable down here. Like, what is going on? Is it like it flew up down here like a magic trick? Like, what's going on? Like, whoa, how long did that take? Where did the variable go? Okay, so that's, oh, that was good enough. All right, I can stop. All right, well, let's go one more, okay? All right, like that puns all the way. Okay, so now we bind this variable down here, right? Obviously, you guys, not impressive enough for me to just do that, not impressed. But let's try something else here. We need to do an event. Let's do an event, okay? Okay, so we created a button. Okay, do something, do something button, all right. All right, let's see what happens. Oh, nothing happens, what am I gonna do? So we gotta go and wire this thing up, right? I mean, this button doesn't do anything. Let's just wire it up. So we're gonna wire this up using the view module called add click. Okay? Okay, and let's do, let's call it do something.  All right, let's see whether I got that one. Okay, so now I'm gonna do something and I'm gonna click this thing. Okay, woo, second one went through. So we had a alert pop up right there at the bottom when I did something, hello everyone. So how long did that take? What happened down there? So once again, we have at the bottom here your model. So this is the heavy stuff. We have some interaction happening on here, right? This is what we call the view model, and we had the action being pulled down there, okay? So those people, anyone do the jQuery? You guys know jQuery, right? jQuery doesn't have that add click over there. That jQuery thing is right at the bottom somewhere. So nothing is happening on the view side.  You would have to have it somewhere in the code and then pulling out there. So that's right there, do something, okay? Now let's, so far so good. All right, now we go to the next one. Methods, okay. Okay, so we have some do something and we have that message. Maybe let's change that variable there, the message. Okay, let's see what happens. So I triggered the event, bang. Hi, everybody. I changed the variable live at that point of time. In the moment, it changed immediately. So this is that thing I'm talking about where we don't go and set up variables elsewhere. We don't have events firing everywhere. What is actually happening is that this message is actually linked to that display. So this is that virtual, those guys will know, virtual DOM. And this makes things very, very easy. So you'll see that somewhere else. I think Angular 1 is very common, but this is very cool programming, okay? So now let's go one more. Okay, so two-way bind, okay. Basically, right now I put the variable, it changes the view. What if we're interacting with a form? Could I link those two things together? How am I gonna do that? All right. So instead of doing that, right, what I could do is let's create an input box. Okay, can't really see that input. Okay, all right. So there's a box down there, all right. So we can type some stuff in it. Hmm, nothing happening. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna wire this up. How am I gonna wire this up? So instead of going back to the kitchen, going right to the bottom part of that thing, I'm just gonna use our view model, okay? And immediately it's right there. Is it? Yeah, okay. It's right there, doesn't check it. So hello view JS meetup appears in that box down there. So what happened? Did I go back to the kitchen? No, I didn't go back to the kitchen. I went to the salt table, grabbed the salt, put it down there. So this stuff is happening in the view. That's really cool. So let's just change some stuff over here. Whoa, what the? Yeah, it's dynamically linking up to this stuff through the model. So no going to the back. No need to go to that. Wack it right there. So it's two-way binded. This is interacting with this, this is interacting with that. That's pretty cool down so far. Okay, conditions with VF. Okay, I think I can do this one. So you guys are familiar. Sometimes you want things to pop around and appear somewhere. Okay, so something hidden. Okay, now I really wanna hide this thing. Did it go away? Maybe if I turn that off.  Ah, okay. All right, so as you can see, dang, I managed to hide that with a VF by setting it to false. Okay, so something happened and then we set the variable. But that's not very impressive, right? So let's see what else we can do with that. Maybe we wanna make it as a password or something and that would require actually computing, like having the thing done immediately. So let's see what I can do now with that. Okay, I just wanted to check that. It was very close. Miss one equal sign there, okay? So what happened, right? What's happening is that we're computing this variable live through the computer function, okay? So this again is how simple VUJS is. You're running here, boom. And the minute it's triggered to true, the thing fires up, okay? So that's a computer property. What's exciting about that is that the variable is being computed as we are typing. So none of this completed stuff. If you were using jQuery, you'd be dead. You'll have to wait for this, blah, blah, blah. On click, if this is equal, on minus, on whatever. This doesn't matter. As long as that variable is equal to the thing, no matter what manipulation is happening, the event will fire. So that is the computer property. Very cool, I mean, very, very simple. Okay, let me see what the last two things is. List render, okay. One of the best parts about programming, right, is working with lists and big sets of data. And previously, when we dealt with this, we had to just go to the back end. It's very annoying. So we push it into the back end, and then that does the stuff. Vue handles it.  But let me just show you guys how we do it. And for those people who are beginners who have no idea, we can take a look at that. So let's see what we do. I've got a list here. That should be correct, all right. So a list of admins of the group. Lionel, Shadi, Aaron, yeah. Sorry if I didn't ask for permission. So let's see what happens. We'll just create a list. Okay, decorate a little bit, John. Okay, so what we can do, right, is again, tap another view model, right, over here. And instead of going back, we just go v4 equal admin in admins. Basically doing a loop over there. Let's try that. Oh, okay. So we've got John, John, John, John. Okay, so we're looping through the thing.  Okay, hang on a second. So we're not pulling a variable down there. I need to do something to that. So what we'll do is just do another mustache bracket, admin. Check the variable there at the bottom. The, it's name and close that. Whoops, what happened? Nice one, thanks. Okay, dot name. I think that should be okay. Okay, whoo, all right. So there we go. Bunch of lists were rendered with all the variables of a JSON object without going to the back end. I didn't do anything in the model in that area that called the object. Nothing happened. We did it entirely from the view model. So this makes it very simple. We've got a whole bunch of stuff down there and it's rendered out there. Okay, so let's see. I think we should be there. All right, this is point seven. So I'm just gonna recap what has happened so far in this beginner live coding session. First, we binded a variable. We put something at the back end and push it out to the front in the viewer. The second thing is that we worked with events at the ad click, which using this view model strategy. Not going to the back end to push it out, not triggering something, so like linking the two together. That's what I said about the view MVVC. The third thing is that we worked with some method. Remember the one where it was equal to and made it disappear? And we did two-way binding with our form. It's very complicated to pull off with other JavaScript networks. The fourth and the fifth one, we ran a condition with VF. And the sixth one is that we learned how to use the computer property. Changing the variable live as the variable changes every single time. So this will be the equivalent of throwing a lot of events out there. Finally, we learned how to do a list render. So now I'm going to come to my final act here and to put in something that at least, that you may have seen or applied in real life. So let's see what we can do down there. So we've got this, we've got this. So let's see what we can do. Let's see, okay. What if I had a directory of the admin tier today and there were a lot of people and we wanted to search for these guys? So why don't I do a dynamic search on here? Okay, we've learned six principles. Let's put something in here. So the first thing is that we will create a computer property. Now I've already got something done over here. So we'll just follow that. Okay, admin filter. Okay. I think it's off, right? Oh, okay, I'm not going to be able to get out of this one now. Damn. Okay, let's see what we can do. All right, let's create an admin filter. Okay, I copy and pasted this pre-made so don't blame me, right? What we're going to do is we're going to let SB this message, the message that variable done by my view model. Then we're going to run a filter called this.admin.filter. So this is the just standard JavaScript filter method. All it does is that it takes a function here based on an item called admin based on the name. We're going to lower it to lowercase because you can see some of the names like myself. Lionel is a capital L. And if it's true, this will appear in the value, okay? So that's running a filter on the list. Now, the only other thing I need to do is that I can't use admins anymore. I have to use my computer property, okay? So I think the property is called admin filter. Okay, so let's fire up and see how that goes. Oops. So usually if something goes wrong, right? It's usually a bracket somewhere. Oh, okay, what's that bracket there? Okay, that's fine. One more bracket? On which line? Yeah, another curly bracket. Okay, I think that should be it. All right, let's see how it goes. Ah, all right. Hey, there's not even a display there. Oh, damn. Okay, okay, it's working. Whew, I was wondering what was going on. All right, so sometimes that happens, all right?  But let's just remove this thing right here, right? Bang. Oops, that's not the one. It should be this one here. Okay, and let's put this as... Okay, so finally we have done with the dynamic search thing. There we go.  Hope that didn't take too long. You can see this application in every contact list, every area. You want Aaron, A, A, done. Chadi, C, H, A, R, D, Y. Okay, so as you can see, we've taken through all the principles down here of the application to create a dynamic search box based on Vue.js on the code done in front of you guys. One tiny error down there, two maybe. And that's just a testament of how simple Vue.js is and how you can actually apply this system. So thanks very much, guys. I'm now gonna hand this over to Xilin. And anybody, let's go straight to Xilin and then we'll...


There are many benefits to taking a TEFL course in an in-class environment, and the biggest is probably the real-life teaching practice that makes up a large part of the four-week schedule. Throughout the course, each trainee will have many opportunities to practice the skills they have learned in the input sessions by teaching their own lessons to a group of genuine English-language learners in an authentic classroom setting. It's a better way to prepare for the realities of teaching than having multiple practice sessions under the guidance of one of our professional teacher trainers. In preparation for each practice lesson, you will receive plenty of help and advice during the planning stage from our team of trainers, who will then follow up the lesson with a debriefing session where they will highlight the areas where you were strong and any areas that you could try to improve on for future lessons. By completing the in-class TEFL course and all the teaching practice that comes with it, you should be perfectly placed to secure a good teaching job and have the confidence to jump straight into your own classroom no matter which course location you choose.
