Kickstart a coding career with this beginner-friendly programming bundle

TL;DR: The Complete Ruby on Rails and Ruby Programming Bundle is on sale for £15.94 as of Nov. 14, saving you 97% on list price.

With so many different programming languages out there, it can be tough trying to kickstart your coding career.

How do you know where to start? Well, Python and JavaScript are often dubbed as the most beginner-friendly options, but there's another that actually gives them a run for their money: Ruby (and it's add-on framework Rails).

Ruby on Rails may not be the most traditional starting place for coders, but it's designed to be both logical and resourceful, making it easy to dive into. This all-purpose programming language is used to build some of the most complex websites in the world – like Hulu, Airbnb, and Kickstarter, just to name a few. And unlike other popular languages and frameworks, it's designed for both front and back end-use. So, you can build an entire app or website from scratch without having to outsource work to programmers versed in other languages. Read more...

You might claim to be "proficient" in Microsoft Excel on your CV, but what happens when your manager asks you to run a VLOOKUP on the spot? From organising and analysing data to automating tasks and visualizing trends with charts and graphs, being a pro at Excel will make you everyone's favourite person in the office. Read more...

Stephen Colbert's monologues are missing something. See if you can guess what.

We're almost a week into the U.S. President's big sulky sore loser tantrum, and there's still no sign he'll concede the election any time soon. Nearly 80 percent of Americans recognise President-elect Joe Biden as the victor, but the baby-in-chief continues to throw applesauce all over the walls while Republicans wipe his chin and hand him more plastic spoons.

The country is exhausted, fearful, and angry, yet the GOP is stubbornly committed to joining the President in his playpen. National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien reportedly even told his staff not to mention Biden's name.

"Oh, so the President-elect is He Who Must Not Be Named," quipped Late Show host Stephen Colbert. "He's Lord Old-emort!" Read more...

Elon Musk may have COVID-19, and of course, he has a theory

Elon Musk may have contracted COVID-19.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO shared the news on Twitter, saying he's got "symptoms of a typical cold." He also said he was tested four times in the same day, with two tests coming back negative, and two positive.

"Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD," he tweeted.

Master the world's most popular programming language for under £30

TL;DR: The JavaScript Masterclass Bundle is on sale for £29.61 as Nov. 13, saving you 98% on list price.

In an industry where the spotlight is always focused on shiny new things, it's basically unprecedented that a two-decade-old programming language like JavaScript is still thriving. If JavaScript were a person, it could now buy alcohol, rent a car, and blow money in Vegas.

The backbone of over 95% of all websites, it's considered to be the world's most popular programming language. But even with its ubiquity, JavaScript also remains the most misunderstood language, too. Novice coders usually mistake it for Java, or relegate it to a mere scripting language rather than a full-blown programming language. Little do they know that JavaScript is also used for databases, servers, animations, visual effects, and a whole lot more. Read more...

Save up to 55% on Sennheiser headphones before Black Friday

SAVE UP TO 55%: Sennheiser headphones are on sale this Black Friday, saving you up to 55% on list price.

We know aesthetics are important when it comes to headphones, because nobody wants something ugly wrapped around their head. Style is key, but this shouldn't come before sound quality.

Fortunately, there are plenty of brands that deliver on both fronts, like Sennheiser. This popular brand provides the best of both worlds, with excellent sound quality delivered from a wide range of stylish devices.

We haven't come across a lot of headphone deals in early Black Friday promotions, but Amazon has dropped a bunch of deals on Sennheiser. You should check out everything on offer, but if that sounds like too much work, we have lined up a selection of the best deals for your consideration: Read more...
