The official website for [The Programmer's Hangout](https://discord.gg/programming).
## Contributing
The site is built with [Gatsby](https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby) which is used to leverage the power of React while
allowing for static asset generation along with improved SEO.
**This site and docs is still a work-in-progress and subject to change**
### Setup
1. Clone the repo
2. `npm install`
3. `npm run develop`
4. Nagivate to http://localhost:8000
5. :tada:
### Resources
If you're not familiar with Gatsby or React, you can still contribute by adding resources for languages you _are_ familiar with.
The list of resources can be found [here](/src/content/docs)
#### Adding a new resource
Gatsby will take care of most of this process by creating a new page and positioning it in the sidebar automatically once you write up a new resource. All you have to do is follow these steps:
1. Create a markdown page in the appropriate location. For example `/src/content/docs/haskell/monads.md`
2. Add the required frontmatter for the post. [More info here](#frontmatter)
3. Write your main content.
4. Add `external_resources` about the subject if possible.
5. Run through the [setup steps](#setup) if possible to make sure your changes look ok.
6. Create a pull request.
#### Frontmatter
Frontmatter the optional metadata attached to every markdown file, like the list of authors or the creation date of the file. It is essentially just yaml syntax inside `---` delimiters within a markdown file. If you're not familiar with yaml you can find some refreshers [here](https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/yaml/)
An example frontmatter might look like this
```md

# Title
some content here
```
You can look at other resources like [this one](/src/content/docs/javascript/promises/intro.md) for reference when creating your own. We use [ISO8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) as the date format to confuse both Americans and Europeans an equal amount.
