Perl

By Matthew Malone Perl is a high-level programming language created by Larry Wall in 1987. Coming from JavaScript, there are many similarities, and the transitioning is smooth until the need for modules arises. Modules are like packages and components for JS. They are similarly imported at the top of the file you want to use them in.

Thirty-three years old, I can see how Perl was a fantastic precursor to Javascript. If I didn't know any better, I would say that Perl is an early version of JavaScript. When creating new variables, there is no need to define what type of variable it is going to be, declare it, and put the string, integer, or boolean after it.

The syntax is the most significant difference, which changes if you're writing in strict (use strict;) or not at the top of the file. To access the arguments sent through a function, they are assigned to a variable inside the function itself, not set as parameters. Semicolons have to be at the end of every statement, Perl won't do all the things

Fetch, Post & Delete to an API

Fetch

Often fetch is called from componentDidMount in the main component. From there it can live in that file or often times the actual fetch lives in a differnt file. For this example fetch will be envoked in the componentDidMount method of the App.js file from a function called getIdeas()

In the App.js file componentDidMount() is setup like this:

export default class App extends Component {
  constructor() {
    super();
