Yuriy L.

You can understand it! Whether you're catching up in a coding bootcamp, or nailing a bug — reach me in the chat and we'll figure it out. I know you can, because I see it everyday!

I enjoy explaining basics patiently, or move to advanced topics in my expertise anytime.

Got a project idea? I can help you code it during a session or multiple sessions!

If you feel overwhelmed about any of these — Javascript, CSS, React, Node, Firebase, web technologies in general — or actually just want someone to be around while you are figuring them out and point you in the right direction, just let me know.

BUILD & LEARN — one-on-one pair-coding learning experience with a mentor

Web development is my life, since 2002. For over decade I'm excited to work on the full stack of web sites and applications. With more focus on Front-end and Javascript full stack in recent years.

Practice Javascript

Javascript is probably the most versatile programming language that anyone can start even without installing any specialized software, as the developer tools are built into every browser nowadays.

Your browser is a great playground to learn and understand Javascript, HTML and CSS, while also possibly making your experience with the web better.

Install Node.js and enable the power of using the same language to access files on your computer and automate your workflow.

Node comes with NPM - access to a repository of plethora of Javascript utilities for any task.

Practice HTML & CSS

CSS can be hard sometimes, but it's well defined with great tools to understand it built into the browser.

Skills of building UI with HTML & CSS can now be reused not only for websites and web apps, but also mobile and desktop apps. And also your TV, your fridge and your nearby ATM.

Practice React

React provides building blocks to create components, where every component has UI defined with HTML & CSS, with Javascript logic attached to it.

Scaling UI for a web app, mobile or desktop app becomes a no-brainer.

Practice building on the web platform with me, I'll watch you 👀 and make your learning faster.

Let me hold your hand (virtually)

I know what it's like - to know how to do it, but still feel burnt out. Too easy to fall into an infinite loop of procrastination. Just schedule a session and let me be your focus buddy. I've seen work done in no time after a wait too long.

How to call: let me know in the chat what you need help or tutoring with.

Before the call: message me, I may be available immediately, but most likely not—it's generally better to schedule a session, ask me for my availability (after telling me which technologies you need help with).

During the call: In the codementor session room press "set up zoom", it will launch Zoom where you can share your screen.

If you messaged me and I didn't answer: Don't be discouraged! There's a high chance I missed your message — feel free to message me again! Sorry, sorry, sorry! But do give a little bit of intro, so it's easier for me to answer whether I can help or not.

---

I only provide help during online sessions where you can share your screen and discuss the issues.

My focus: ● HTML, CSS ● Javascript, ES6 ● ⚛ React, JSX, React-Router, Redux, Material-UI ● Firebase for Web: Database, Auth, Storage, Hosting, Functions ● jQuery, Backbone, Marionette ● AJAX, Axios, fetch ● async ● Git, Github ● npm, yarn ● Chrome DevTools ● CSS Frameworks, Bootstrap, Bulma, Foundation, Semantic-UI, SASS ● Handlebars ● NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB ● Webpack, Browserify, Gulp, Bower, Require.js ● Jekyll ●

Feel free to message me in the chat anytime — just tell me which topics you need help with — and we'll go from there.

• Only applies to longer sessions of 1 hour and more.
• Only applies to practice sessions, where you need help with fundamentals of the technologies listed below. Welcome to discuss or learn these technologies with me.
• Does not apply to commercial work.

The discount doesn't always get applied automatically, so feel free to ask and remind me about it after a session.

To get the discount:

• Let me know that you are a beginner, need a longer session and that a discount would help

Please only contact me if you actually need help understanding the following technologies, and not just have someone complete your student homework on your behalf!

I'm happy to offer a lower rate to guide you through the basics of these technologies:

• HTML, CSS, Javascript: building web-pages and understanding all the concepts to make them work beautifully and efficiently
• Javascript basics, intermediate and advanced
• Javascript libraries and frameworks: jQuery, Backbone, React
• Firebase for Web: Database, Auth, Storage, Hosting, Functions
• Backend Javascript with Node.js and Express.js
• CSS Frameworks: Bootstrap, Bulma
• CSS Tooling: SASS, Stylus
• Web-dev tools basics: npm, browserify, webpack
• Web-dev concepts, such as AJAX
• Command line basics and Git
• Basics of hosting your static website for free
• Using template engines such as Handlebars
• Creating website with Jekyll and host on Github
• Basics of automated Javascript testing
  ---------------✃-------------------------

Over the years, I have:

• Developed hundreds of HTML/CSS/JS Mockups (since 2002)
• Wrote several large Backbone.js/Marionette.js javascript applications, for web and mobile (since 2010)
• Developed Node.js/MongoDB applications
• Developed dozens of CakePHP/MySQL applications (2006-2010)
• Installed dozens of Wordpress websites
• Worked with large data sets and developed social network-like websites
• Developed projects with Laravel, Zend Framework
• Developed several popular extensions for Textpattern CMS (2006)
• Got experience with video and audio production, screen recording

I am keen on advanced web-development tools for front-end and back-end development.
Git, Chrome DevTools
NPM, Browserify, Grunt, Gulp, Bower, Require.js

I feel comfortable working on both small and large websites.
Jekyll, Bootstrap
jQuery, AJAX
Preprocessors: SASS, Stylus, CoffeeScript

Done a lot of projects in PHP earlier, but switched to more javascript work in recent years.

I am a mac guy, and I manage Debian virtual servers for private projects.

$$ Money-back guaranteed – just let me know if you're not happy and your money stay with you.

Feeling unproductive? Schedule a session for some quality focus time.
