Show HN: Tiny Toy JSON Parser in TypeScript

https://github.com/noahbuscher/toy-json-parser

I spent a day to build a toy JSON parser in Typescript to learn how parsers and tokenizers work, something I've always been curious about. I decided to put what I wrote on GitHub incase anyone else is curious how one might go about writing one!PSA: This is a toy parser and is not to spec. Please do not use as a library.

I don't think there will be a boom either, but instead a gradual trend as more and more companies and employees find the Midwest a favorable place to live for the other reasons mentioned in the post.

Haha! I do like downtown Minneapolis, but have not spent much time in the suburbs. I'll heed the warning. ;^)

It's pretty crappy and is not responsive AT ALL, but the main thing there is the interface with the audio API. Potentially a starting point for better applications.

I find side projects to be very helpful when attempting to learn a new framework or language. Start small and slowly build up the complexity as you move on.

It will be difficult at first, but fellow developer and Stack Overflow are your friends. It also adds an extra layer of enhancement if the open source the project, as it allows others to review your code and improve it, allowing you to contribute something to the community while learning at the same time.

You should also check out open source projects written in the language you're interested in. I find that CMS source code covers a huge amount of tips and tricks I find helpful when starting a new language.

Edit:

Also, http://selfmaderenegade.net/minimum-viable-skillset was just posted.

Ask HN: Atom vs. Submime Text

Posted by NoahBuscher on Friday August 08, 2014 @08:21PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I've been a die-hard Sublime Text fan for a few years, and I love it, but Atom has come out in the recent months and I am wondering if there are any reasons I should switch? I understand that it's free and open source, but as far as features, speed, packages, etc for it go, what are your thoughts?
