These are instructions to setup Postgres.app to allow connections over unix sockets. These instructions were written for Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

1. Run Postgres.app once so that the configuration is initialized in ~/Library/Application Support/Postgres.
2. Close Postgres.app
3. Open ~/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var/postgresql.conf in your favorite text editor.
4. Uncomment the line unix_socket_directory = '' and change it to unix_socket_directory = '/var/pgsql_socket'
5. Create the directory /var/pgsql_socket if it doesn't exist.
6. Run chmod 770 /var/pgsql_socket (may need to be run with sudo)
7. Run chown root:staff /var/pgsql_socket (may need to be run with sudo)

Where to host projects

• Heroku - decent "free" tier
• Digital Ocean

Talking early career; landing the first job

• LinkedIn is a good resource, but you may have to closely tweak what you list so you're "caught" in the queries recruiters throw at it.
• example, someone mentioned changing their profile from "6mo React" to "1yr React" produced a lot more interest

"I have an endpoint that returns a JSON collection of 'exercises'. How can I display it as a web page?"

• React

Getting started/early career

• Chandler Baskins spoke on "Angular Air" about lowering the barrier of entry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBvpwE7tbGU
• Ideas for how to get started?
  • think about how you learn; visual?
  • https://www.udemy.com/ worked for Chandler
  • Video can be misleading. You may think you are retaining more information than you actually are. Generally you may only take away 15% of what you see.
  • Maybe don't try to work along as you watch, but instead watch and then apply concepts on your own so that you have a chance to experience what you're learning in additional to just typing out something that's being presented
  • Having your own project to work on is a great learning strategy whether you're visual or not. It's just a good way to learn.
  • Side projects are also a good way to continue learning even once you're working fulltime.
• https://www.freecodecamp.org/ was mentioned
