It’s me, Tania, the pragmatic writer and web developer.

If you noticed this publication looks a bit different, it’s because I’ve moved the list from Sendy to Substack. I had some bad luck with configuring Amazon SES, so I’m giving Substack a shot. They seem like the kind of ad-free, affiliate-free, and bullshit-free enterprise I can get behind, so let’s hope for the best!

Next month marks four years that I’ve been writing on this website! I really appreciate that all of you have joined me on this journey. If you’re new and don’t know me yet, this sums up what I’m all about.

In honor of four years and a new newsletter, I’m going to list ten of my favorite and most popular articles. It was actually way too hard to pick ten but this should give you a taste of what I write about.

Career and Learning

• Everything I Know as a Software Developer Without a Degree

• How I Made a Career Change into Web Development

Learning Tutorials

• Getting Started with React

• Getting Started with Vue

• How to Create and Use Bash Scripts

• How to Use the Command Line

• Build and Deploy a Node, Express, & Postgres REST API

Building Games and Apps

• Coding the Super Mario 3 Memory Game in JavaScript

• Coding Snake in JavaScript (Node.js + Terminal)

• Coding an MVC App from Scratch in Plain JavaScript

There are so many more, and I didn’t even touch on any of the design and CSS articles, but I wanted to keep it somewhat succinct.

Well everyone, if you appreciate what I do or who I am, please share and subscribe, maybe tip me a coffee? :D

I hope to continue writing for you and me for another four years!

Welcome to Tania’s List!

I’m Tania Rascia, a front end web developer (and former chef). I document everything I learn in clear, concise tutorials that help thousands of people transition into coding careers themselves. I’ve written about everything from React, Vue, and Node, to WordPress, Bash, REST APIs and testing. I bridge the gap from beginner to expert.

I aim to create a beautiful corner of the web free of ads, sponsored posts, newsletter pop-ups, affiliate links, and the rest of the annoying noise we're so accustomed to seeing on the internet these days.
