A space for designers that use code to bring their ideas to life.

Design With Code

That's great, i never looked into the native languages.

Most of my roles have been a hybrid of UI + HTML/CSS/JS, also not sure why but ive had to relearn react several times bc it never stuck. Still investigating why that is, because I am learning it again LOL. Best of luck :)

Love that! I also do design directly in code

I tried Laravel, it’s a lot of fun. In terms of learning/understanding I believe repetition is key. A programming language is just like a real language, the more you use it the better you will get. Talking to people that speak the language will also help.

👋 I like programming! Haven’t tried any framework outside react though. Why do you ask by the way?

Me and my team are into this. Also I’ve been working a bit on https://designwithcode.org for those that want to learn.

Yep. That's how I design, directly in code :-)

Swift and SwiftUI, did a lot of HTML/CSS/JS/PHP a few years ago.

Yes, HTML/CSS and all kinds of frameworks to deliver either interactive prototypes or close-to-production code

Yes, and huge lover of Vue (having previously used AngularJS).

Personal site built on Jekyll.

I really want to learn, I've been hammering away for a while now and building the logic to make apps do what I want just doesn't sink in. Any tips or courses you could point me to would be awesome

How many designers out there code? How many want to learn?  
I'm talking more than just HTML and CSS, using frameworks like react, Vue and the like?

Nice!  How did you go about learning. I've been tinkering over the past couple years but never enough to fully understand it.

Kudos for wanting to learn! Programming is difficult, don’t think it ever sinks in—it always fails until it kinda works but isn’t right. Have you figured out yet how you learn best? Videos, books, a teacher, by doing?

If not, start there? or read docs from start to finish.
